00:00:02.860 Someone is trying to frame us.

00:00:05.140 Until our names are cleared.

00:00:07.700 We're fugitives from interval.

00:00:09.480 Like Bonnie and Clyde with better snacks.

00:00:12.880 Espionage?

00:00:13.560 You still as good a shot as you used to be?

00:00:16.600 Better.

00:00:17.400 Is there love language?

00:00:18.860 We like to walk that fine line between techno thriller

00:00:21.340 and romantic comedy.

00:00:24.180 We make up our own rules.

00:00:25.940 NCIS Tony and Ziva.

00:00:30.740 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:32.540 Live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.

00:00:42.060 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly.

00:00:43.700 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.

00:00:45.140 Oh, we have so much to go over.

00:00:47.220 An unbelievable day one at the Democratic National Convention.

00:00:50.620 And by unbelievable, I mean we got to watch a final knife in the back

00:00:54.020 to the man who we are told is still the leader of the free world

00:00:57.720 and according to the Democrats, who save democracy.

00:01:00.400 And this is their thanks.

00:01:03.180 Last month, the Democrats pushed Joe Biden right out of the Democratic nomination for

00:01:07.400 a second term.

00:01:08.340 Then they told us he would get a big celebration on night one of the DNC.

00:01:12.800 The prelude to his ascension to Mount Rushmore.

00:01:17.540 Instead, he didn't even make it into the primetime.

00:01:21.320 It was bad enough they had him booked to speak on Monday, which is where the C-stringers go. 1.00

00:01:27.040 But they moved him.

00:01:29.960 He got delayed right out of the primetime by a lot.

00:01:35.960 In fact, so much so that his speech ended on day two of the convention.

00:01:41.000 They did not put him up there until 1130 East Coast time.

00:01:45.920 I guess they don't care if the people in Georgia hear him.

00:01:49.380 The people in North Carolina hear him.

00:01:51.820 The people in New York and D.C. who drive the news cycles hear him.

00:01:54.880 OK, fine.

00:01:56.100 It's your party.

00:01:57.960 It's not to mention it was way past the guy's preferred bedtime.

00:02:01.400 I mean, we heard him himself on that call with the governors when he was trying to assure

00:02:05.380 everybody he could do a second term saying, I really can't do things past 8 p.m. anymore.

00:02:09.940 I'm going to make sure I don't do that.

00:02:11.840 And what do they do?

00:02:12.820 They book him to start at 10 and they don't let him start speaking until 1130.

00:02:18.120 Instead, we heard a long list of no names get up there trying to make their own.

00:02:23.220 Who wanted to hear from Chris Coons, for the love of God?

00:02:27.080 Who gives a shit what he has to say?

00:02:28.960 Put on Joe Biden.

00:02:30.300 He's the sitting president.

00:02:33.060 Like, I'm not his chief defender, but it's the least you could have done.

00:02:37.380 Just to pay the guy his respect for a lifetime of service to the Democrat Party.

00:02:42.400 But no, they needed to put the final treads on Joe Biden's back.

00:02:48.600 That's amazing.

00:02:50.380 He got up there.

00:02:51.100 There wasn't exactly a passing of the torch.

00:02:53.160 He did say some nice things about Kamala.

00:02:55.160 His proudest thing was to make her his vice president and that, you know, he saved democracy.

00:03:01.180 She's going to preserve it.

00:03:03.980 But the speech was mostly focused on his own lengthy political career.

00:03:09.580 It was his swan song moment.

00:03:11.360 And for most of it, he was shouting at us as Dark Brandon returned, you know, like there's

00:03:19.240 the Bruce Wayne and then the Batman character.

00:03:21.580 Only Batman is a lot cooler than Dark Brandon.

00:03:24.340 Well, the darker version of Joe Biden was there for virtually the entire time railing against

00:03:31.880 former President Trump and doing so with, over and over and over again, lies that have been debunked.

00:03:40.120 Donald Trump said, and I quote, there are very fine people on both sides.

00:03:46.960 My God.

00:03:48.660 That's what he said.

00:03:50.860 That is what he said and what he meant.

00:03:52.940 From his own chief of staff, the four star General John Kelly, that Trump when in Europe would

00:04:00.300 not go to the grave sites in one of the, in France, the brave service members who gave

00:04:07.700 their lives to this country.

00:04:09.160 He called them suckers and losers.

00:04:12.320 Who in the hell does he think he is?

00:04:14.280 Who does he think he is?

00:04:17.020 He's promising a bloodbath if he loses in his words.

00:04:23.760 I mean, like literally none of that is true.

00:04:26.160 All of it is out of context, but find people on both sides.

00:04:30.140 I mean, how many times does that need to be debunked, including by Snopes, which is the

00:04:33.440 Democrats favorite fact checking machine?

00:04:35.360 He keeps telling, he doesn't give a shit.

00:04:36.860 Like the alternate realities, according to Joe Biden, where are all the, the excited fact

00:04:41.900 checkers?

00:04:42.640 Where are they?

00:04:43.620 Come on.

00:04:44.680 Come on.

00:04:45.620 You love to fact check everybody on the right.

00:04:48.020 Do your business.

00:04:50.120 Bloodbath.

00:04:50.720 He was talking about the economy and what was going to happen in the

00:04:52.920 auto industry.

00:04:53.820 If that was Trump talking, if Joe Biden got reelected, we know all this dictator on day

00:04:59.340 one was said jokingly, laughingly to Sean Hannity on camera about what he would do at

00:05:04.920 the border.

00:05:05.580 Kind of like what Joe Biden did with all of his executive orders undoing Trump's border

00:05:09.500 policy.

00:05:09.960 This is so ridiculous.

00:05:13.880 Okay.

00:05:14.320 Despite evidence to the contrary, Joe Biden did want you to know he's really not angry

00:05:21.400 about what was done to him at all.

00:05:23.320 It's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president.

00:05:29.740 I love the job, but I love my country more.

00:05:36.820 I love my country more.

00:05:38.520 And all this talk about how I'm angry at all those people who said I should step down.

00:05:47.840 That's not true.

00:05:48.940 We love our country.

00:05:50.940 We love our country.

00:05:51.940 We love our country.

00:05:53.940 We love our country.

00:05:54.940 We love our country.

00:05:55.940 We love our country.

00:05:56.940 We love our country.

00:05:57.940 Sure, Jan.

00:05:59.860 And in perhaps the most stunning scene of the entire night, there was former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

00:06:08.520 Brutus herself waving a, we love Joe sign with the big smile, at least as far as the

00:06:16.300 Botox would allow, like trying to look like she's his number one fan.

00:06:21.520 Wait till you, I mean, look at her front row. 1.00

00:06:25.380 We love Joe.

00:06:26.320 We love Joe.

00:06:27.420 We love, we love.

00:06:29.180 It's like something out of a horror movie where the person's like, we love you.

00:06:32.600 We love you.

00:06:33.080 As they stick the knife in and turn it and turn it and you're dying.

00:06:36.160 And she's like, we love you, but I love you.

00:06:38.740 That's what happened there.

00:06:42.020 It was the whole humiliation made me uncomfortable.

00:06:44.960 I got to be honest.

00:06:45.920 I tweeted something out last night to the effect of this, like watching a groom who was dumped

00:06:50.940 on the morning of his wedding day, who then is forced to go to the wedding anyway and watch

00:06:57.680 his bride marry someone else and cheer for it. 0.65

00:07:00.140 That's how the whole thing made me feel.

00:07:01.620 He didn't want this, didn't want to be deposed from the nomination he had won legitimately.

00:07:06.960 I get why it happened, but he didn't want it.

00:07:09.260 He had to show up.

00:07:10.800 He had to say nice things about Kamala.

00:07:12.500 He did that.

00:07:13.560 But they kept grandpa in a green room for hours, 81 years old, well past Matlock, tapioca

00:07:19.700 time, and then forced him to go out there at 1130 East Coast time, which is his time.

00:07:24.680 He lives in D.C. and Delaware and do this speech.

00:07:28.060 No wonder he was angry.

00:07:30.440 President Biden now begins a week long tour to support Kamala Harrison.

00:07:35.660 No, no.

00:07:37.720 He's being shipped off on vacation.

00:07:39.740 Vacation from what?

00:07:40.740 He's literally been sitting in Rehoboth, Delaware for weeks doing nothing.

00:07:44.320 We read you the Real Clear Politics rundown of his schedule in August.

00:07:47.020 He's been doing nothing every day.

00:07:49.240 Vice President Biden's schedule, nothing like one phone call, one ceremonial appearance.

00:07:55.120 So now he needs a vacation from all that.

00:07:57.820 Who is president?

00:07:59.200 Who is commander in chief?

00:08:01.700 He's going to California.

00:08:03.780 He's going to enjoy the beautiful sunsets, seashores.

00:08:08.340 His party moves forward, though, with the coronation of Vice President Kamala Harris.

00:08:13.620 And that's just the start of what we witnessed last night.

00:08:16.880 I got a lot of thoughts, and so did the fellas.

00:08:18.700 They're here from the Ruthless program, Josh Holmes, Michael Duncan, John Ashbrook, and

00:08:23.900 the man known to his minions as Comfortably Smug.

00:08:27.780 In these crazy times, there's peace of mind in security.

00:08:31.500 Security for our country, our leaders, and our families.

00:08:35.180 But think about this.

00:08:36.600 Are you financially secure if all of your eggs are in one financial basket?

00:09:27.880 I'm so happy you guys are here.

00:09:31.200 Ah!

00:09:33.120 What a rundown.

00:09:34.320 Yeah, I mean, I think that was a pretty good analysis of what had happened.

00:09:39.020 They're so nasty.

00:09:40.220 Just as they had me feeling sorry for Joe Biden, he got up there and told all those lies.

00:09:44.520 And I was like, eh, he deserved it.

00:09:46.480 What did you guys think of last night?

00:09:48.560 Well, I mean, look, I particularly liked your jilted groom analogy.

00:09:53.240 That was pretty good.

00:09:54.040 I've always kind of wanted to go to a wedding where somebody doesn't show up and you have

00:09:57.140 to look around at the crowd and see how they take it.

00:09:59.420 I mean, this is what Democrats basically did to him.

00:10:01.600 They just ragdolled him in public.

00:10:03.540 I mean, Monday, Monday.

00:10:05.160 Republicans put the teamsters guy they didn't want the rest of the party to hear on Monday

00:10:09.620 night.

00:10:10.380 At least they had the common decency to do it within the confines of the hours that people

00:10:14.060 still watch television.

00:10:15.480 They didn't even do that to Joe Biden.

00:10:17.200 You know, I mean, with any other sitting president, you would imagine that you are introducing

00:10:20.960 the new nominee.

00:10:22.980 Right.

00:10:23.460 I mean, if not for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris wouldn't be within a country mile of a Democratic

00:10:28.040 nomination for president.

00:10:29.320 And yet Monday night, late night.

00:10:32.720 And also, is there no editors on that speech?

00:10:34.720 The thing was like, what, 45 minutes or something like that?

00:10:38.620 And in the jilted groom is a very good analogy.

00:10:43.000 Another one that comes to mind.

00:10:44.520 I don't know if you've ever saw that old movie Best in Show by Christopher Guest.

00:10:48.960 Of course.

00:10:49.340 But there's a there's a vignette toward the beginning of it where there's this lady who's 0.99

00:10:53.220 taken a tycoon, this old tycoon for all he's worth.

00:10:56.340 And she's sitting next to him and she's like, people say he's so much older than me, but

00:11:01.620 really, I just can't keep him off of me.

00:11:03.800 And the whole time she's just taking his money and the guy can't even talk.

00:11:07.820 And he's just sitting there.

00:11:09.300 Jennifer Coolidge.

00:11:10.500 This is this is what Democrats are doing to their president.

00:11:13.820 It's a really pathetic swan song to a long political career shuffled to midnight.

00:11:19.540 First, first night of the debate, standing on that stage on that stage and saying democracy

00:11:25.860 won, sitting on that stage as the person who won all the votes in the primary and talking

00:11:32.680 about how we're going to anoint Kamala Harris, who won zero votes.

00:11:36.000 How is that democracy winning?

00:11:37.820 It is incredible.

00:11:38.900 And Duncan, also, also honesty matters.

00:11:41.180 He actually said honesty matters right before he said he's there.

00:11:47.120 He said there are fine people on both sides.

00:11:49.260 That's the president.

00:11:51.200 I would also point out that he said the people outside have a point.

00:11:55.580 Oh, yeah.

00:11:56.300 The Hamas protests.

00:11:57.580 And the way he actually said both sides.

00:11:59.680 Hold on.

00:11:59.960 Let's play that.

00:12:00.640 Let's play that because he had his own both sides moment last night talking about those

00:12:03.620 pro-Palestinian, pro-Hamas protesters.

00:12:06.200 Watch it.

00:12:06.600 Those protesters out in the street, they have a point.

00:12:12.860 A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides.

00:12:19.400 He literally said both sides.

00:12:22.300 He ad-libbed that.

00:12:24.260 He said both sides about the pro-Hamas people who are out there saying, get yourself beaten

00:12:29.160 up by the cops for your back to school outfit.

00:12:35.160 Smuggles, what's your take? 1.00

00:12:36.280 Well, I mean, I think everyone is saying that it was kind of like a failed night one.

00:12:40.820 I think it was a tremendous success.

00:12:42.400 This was Nancy Pelosi's humiliation ritual. 0.91

00:12:46.120 She wanted to spike the football. 0.96

00:12:48.280 And like even when she was getting interviewed by some reporters, she was like, I've got no

00:12:52.720 problems with Joe.

00:12:53.600 It was just his campaign I had some issues with.

00:12:55.560 Like she's putting in everyone's face that she ended this guy's career.

00:12:59.620 So she absolutely, you know, got what she wanted out of that.

00:13:02.980 She had him shuffled onto stage at eleven thirty to admit defeat.

00:13:08.680 And in so many ways he admitted defeat when he was angry and shouting about Donald Trump.

00:13:13.840 The only thing that came to mind for me was, wow, he's mad at a guy who so thoroughly beat

00:13:19.820 him.

00:13:20.080 He surrendered and dropped out.

00:13:21.960 Yeah.

00:13:22.100 He seemed small on that stage because he couldn't cut it.

00:13:25.300 He couldn't make it to face Donald Trump.

00:13:27.700 He had to throw in the towel.

00:13:29.260 It also proves that the Democrats know he's a political vulnerability.

00:13:33.340 They don't want Kamala Harris associated with him inside a country mile.

00:13:37.760 All right.

00:13:38.140 The more she's associated as the current vice president and not this change agent with

00:13:42.720 all these new positions, the worse her electoral prospects are. 0.84

00:13:46.160 Yeah.

00:13:46.280 It was also just hilarious what a fictional betrayal all of this was.

00:13:49.840 Yeah.

00:13:50.140 Right.

00:13:50.380 I mean, it started at the very beginning and then it was like a cavalcade of of ridiculous

00:13:55.300 has been politicians, which if you look at the lineup, four days of that, you know, but

00:13:59.260 like you get Maxine Waters up on stage.

00:14:02.260 Yeah.

00:14:02.740 Like, are you talking?

00:14:04.040 Oh, yeah.

00:14:04.440 A lot of hope for the future with that situation.

00:14:06.760 I mean, if you're going to choreograph something for hope and change, that ain't it.

00:14:15.480 That ain't it.

00:14:16.200 Like, well, what about I mean, there was the the one there were two touching moments and

00:14:20.640 I'll get to them because I I do, whether it's Democrat or Republican, like the moments that

00:14:24.520 make me feel something.

00:14:25.760 And there was the one moment where Joe Biden came on stage after his daughter, Ashley,

00:14:29.240 had introduced him and they embraced just like by the arms and spoke to each other.

00:14:35.540 And he cried.

00:14:36.540 And that just is like a human.

00:14:38.400 You're like, oh, that's sweet.

00:14:39.620 But then he gets up there and starts spewing all this nastiness.

00:14:43.220 You're like, oh, OK, not sweet.

00:14:44.540 But I was still reeling from her remarks because she gets up there. 1.00

00:14:49.000 And of course, you guys know we've covered it here on the show.

00:14:52.580 She's the one who wrote this diary in which she said she took inappropriate showers with

00:14:58.180 him when she was a girl.

00:14:59.500 But she said they're probably not appropriate.

00:15:01.600 So she gets up there and she began her remarks as follows.

00:15:07.020 I have this memory.

00:15:08.780 I was eight years old.

00:15:10.500 We're like, oh, no.

00:15:12.300 My God, she's going to do it.

00:15:16.960 Oh, my God.

00:15:18.440 Every muscle tensed up.

00:15:20.160 I was like, oh, no, Ashley, this is not the time.

00:15:25.460 That was one moment.

00:15:26.900 I'll get to the other nice moment in a minute.

00:15:28.920 But here's here's the other thing.

00:15:30.780 It was like it was a parade of like fakes, phonies and falsehoods.

00:15:38.480 Now, we talked about some of the falsehoods with Joe Biden that just like litany of lies

00:15:42.940 that he just keeps telling and he can get away with.

00:15:46.060 But the weirdness of like the presenters and the lies that they were telling and just like

00:15:50.940 the you've got to be effing kidding me moments that I had watching them.

00:15:54.700 I mean, I sat and I watched that whole damn thing from 8 p.m.

00:15:56.960 forward.

00:15:57.380 I was exhausted.

00:15:58.800 And there is this woman I never confessed, seen this person before, Mallory McMorrow,

00:16:03.980 Michigan State Senator.

00:16:05.300 No, it was that the lizard tongue lady that was lizard tongue. 0.94

00:16:09.960 All right.

00:16:10.100 So, first of all, I don't understand why she borrowed my wardrobe from my moot court outfit

00:16:14.380 in 1993, but she definitely did.

00:16:17.060 Oh, my God.

00:16:18.120 That is a murder right there.

00:16:20.720 It's a murder.

00:16:21.820 OK, but she was doing the weirdest stuff with her tongue and worse than any of that was the

00:16:31.400 cluelessness of her warnings to Democrats about what Donald Trump might do if he became president

00:16:38.280 again.

00:16:38.600 Listen, Donald Trump would be able to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political

00:16:46.500 opponents.

00:16:48.060 He could even turn the FBI into his own personal police force.

00:16:55.980 That is not how it works in America.

00:17:04.140 That's how it works in dictatorships.

00:17:09.080 Oh, my God.

00:17:11.000 So we're in a dictator.

00:17:13.240 Hello, pot. 1.00

00:17:14.240 He might he might even take a he might even take a misdemeanor and turn it into 40 felony

00:17:19.860 charging in New York or send his send his FBI down to your home and raid it and then

00:17:26.780 parade out the evidence for a photo op that is not representative of what they found.

00:17:30.800 That kind of making the FBI your own personal agent, Mallory.

00:17:34.260 And I'm sorry, you can't see the whole outfit, but she was wearing dark, dark tights with 1.00

00:17:39.720 inappropriate shoes under her dark dress.

00:17:42.280 I, you know, my favorite thing about Dem conventions and this is it kind of started with like Mario

00:17:50.280 Cuomo.

00:17:51.640 It was maybe before that, but my earliest memory was like Mario Cuomo and then clearly Barack

00:17:55.880 Obama in 2004.

00:17:57.700 There's always this person who nobody's heard of who attempts to sort of capture something

00:18:03.540 that they have absolutely no business capturing.

00:18:05.920 Yeah.

00:18:06.120 Like the town of like Cuomo and in that convention or Obama and in 04 was obvious and it vaulted

00:18:13.620 them to national stardom and eventually two terms as president for Obama.

00:18:17.760 But like this lady, you know, for a fact, spent the last month thinking like, all right, I'm

00:18:22.200 really going to lean into this because this is my mom.

00:18:24.320 Like I too can be president if I just go out and just slam it.

00:18:28.980 Right.

00:18:29.300 That's a big problem.

00:18:30.080 I think that's a huge problem is that especially after the Barack Obama 2004 moment, you have

00:18:36.240 all these backbenchers who are like, it could be me.

00:18:38.400 Yeah.

00:18:38.580 I could be that guy.

00:18:39.820 Yeah.

00:18:39.940 I go up there.

00:18:40.860 I give a great speech and the next day I'm going to be president and it's not the case.

00:18:45.420 Let's look at the lizard tongue.

00:18:48.960 We need to show the audience what we're talking about because I think Mallory had a case of 1.00

00:18:53.440 the dry mouth.

00:18:54.320 That's my Mallory there. 1.00

00:18:56.620 There's medication that can help you with that.

00:18:58.540 You don't have to live like this.

00:19:00.760 Save yourself.

00:19:02.420 Just rub you a water or something.

00:19:06.220 Save us from this thing.

00:19:08.100 Yeah.

00:19:08.220 Yikes.

00:19:08.660 Okay.

00:19:09.060 But on your point, guys, about wannabe stars, that leads me to AOC.

00:19:15.280 Okay.

00:19:17.420 It wasn't it.

00:19:18.920 When I saw people on the internet praising her last night, even Republicans, some Republicans

00:19:22.480 like, oh, this is a great speech.

00:19:24.140 I thought, have you never actually seen an effective female public speaker? 1.00

00:19:27.600 Like they think they mistake energy or like enthusiasm for effectiveness.

00:19:33.820 I mean, anyone can get up there and shout at you.

00:19:36.820 She can shout at you.

00:19:38.180 It doesn't make you a good public speaker.

00:19:41.520 It was like an assault.

00:19:42.820 It was right.

00:19:43.380 Don't you feel assaulted by what I just did?

00:19:45.120 That's how I felt listening to her.

00:19:47.740 So I have a whole theory on, on her and I'm going to walk you through my theory.

00:19:51.560 And now I want your tape now.

00:19:54.200 I hear, so I'm going to start with what I think she was going for AOC, which is what

00:19:59.220 she was going for.

00:20:00.080 Smug just made a reference to it.

00:20:01.540 And it has to do with then regular Barack Obama before he ran for president in 2004 at

00:20:10.240 the DNC.

00:20:10.940 This is what made him a star this moment.

00:20:13.380 I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America.

00:20:18.700 There is the United States of America.

00:20:21.440 There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America.

00:20:29.480 There's the United States of America.

00:20:32.020 The pundits, the pundits, the pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states

00:20:40.280 and blue states, red states for Republicans, blue states for Democrats.

00:20:45.140 But I've got news for them, too.

00:20:46.560 We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around

00:20:51.660 in our libraries in the red states.

00:20:53.280 Okay, he would be canceled for saying that today.

00:20:56.740 Yeah, you'd get booed off the stage if he said that enough.

00:20:59.480 The convention, their convention today has these diversified groups meeting all day.

00:21:03.100 The LGBTQ caucus and the black caucus and the Hispanic caucus and the, there's not a white

00:21:06.920 caucus.

00:21:07.560 But anyway, okay, so that's Barack Obama, who was then an Illinois state senator in 2004,

00:21:11.560 made himself a star.

00:21:12.880 That's what AOC was going for.

00:21:14.440 That's what they all go for.

00:21:15.660 They fail.

00:21:16.200 There's only one Barack Obama.

00:21:17.440 There will never be another Barack Obama.

00:21:18.880 I'm sorry, find your own style.

00:21:20.700 You're not good at imitation.

00:21:21.900 Here was AOC's attempt, and pay particular attention to the fake accent that comes in

00:21:28.940 toward the end.

00:21:30.020 In Kamala Harris, we have a chance to elect a president who is for the middle class because

00:21:37.460 she is from the middle class.

00:21:39.820 And I, for one, am tired of hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself 1.00

00:21:50.420 as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to lift working people out

00:21:58.560 from under the boots to breathe, traveling on our way of life.

00:22:03.060 Ever since I got elected, Republicans have attacked me by saying that I should go back

00:22:11.240 to bartending.

00:22:15.040 But let me tell you, I'm happy to any day of the week because there is nothing wrong with

00:22:22.360 working for a living.

00:22:26.220 Cool.

00:22:27.040 Get me a skinny margarita.

00:22:28.180 That's what she was going for.

00:22:32.640 She was going for Barack Obama.

00:22:34.920 But this is what she reminded me of.

00:22:37.200 I mean, entirely.

00:22:38.320 I give you Hilaria Baldwin.

00:22:41.340 I want you guys to realize that we have seven kids.

00:22:46.080 And you being here to escort them to school and to be there when they come home is not

00:22:53.860 good.

00:22:54.760 This woman is not Spanish.

00:22:55.680 You guys know I'm not going to say anything to you.

00:22:59.180 You know that.

00:23:00.600 So please leave my family in peace and let this all play out.

00:23:06.620 Okay?

00:23:07.380 So let my kids come home and you stay away from them.

00:23:11.400 Because they asked me, Mommy, what are these people doing?

00:23:17.420 She's not Spanish speaking.

00:23:19.540 So please, go home, because I'm not going to say anything and Alec is not going to say

00:23:24.940 anything.

00:23:25.920 She's like, por favor.

00:23:27.460 Por favor.

00:23:28.880 How do you say cucumber?

00:23:31.220 And this is my final soundbite in this little riff.

00:23:34.620 So she was a cross between Hilaria, who went to a fancy boarding school in either Boston

00:23:39.540 or Rhode Island, and isn't Spanish at all.

00:23:43.400 And also this guy.

00:23:46.080 You may remember him from World War II as the leader of Italy.

00:23:50.560 Oh, my God.

00:23:51.640 Megan is just drinking out the 50 gallon.

00:24:06.100 This is hot fire today.

00:24:09.280 Wow.

00:24:11.620 Agree or disagree?

00:24:13.180 Well, I'm conflicted about AOC.

00:24:15.280 I agree.

00:24:15.780 I agree with what you were saying.

00:24:17.300 But I'm conflicted about sort of who she is and how I don't think there's anybody who

00:24:22.420 better captures the ethos of today's Democratic Party than AOC.

00:24:27.480 I mean, we may think it's absolutely ridiculous, but that is entirely consistent with everything

00:24:32.440 that you see from the very top to the very bottom, from the center left to the progressive

00:24:38.800 left.

00:24:39.660 I mean, everything is captured by who AOC is.

00:24:44.720 And I think this convention is actually a part of that.

00:24:46.780 Right.

00:24:47.000 There's no real attempt to explain to the center of the electorate why it is that everything

00:24:51.620 has sucked so bad under Joe Biden.

00:24:53.780 It's basically inventing a new reality, throwing some yelling at you, telling you you're going

00:24:58.500 to fight for stuff, and then just kind of expecting people to get in line behind somebody

00:25:03.280 who's never gotten a single primary vote.

00:25:05.160 There's no incentive for them to correct, because if you followed Twitter last night, the media

00:25:10.940 was just globbing all over her.

00:25:13.560 They were saying how great she was, and this is the best speech ever.

00:25:17.720 So why would they ever, of course, correct?

00:25:19.560 Because the feedback loop they get is just nothing but positive.

00:25:22.800 Well, and she she was sort of alluding to this dignity of work, which I think is central

00:25:26.880 to the American ethos isn't really a Democrat thing or Republican thing.

00:25:30.500 But instead of doing that thing and that thing alone, which everybody agrees with, she's

00:25:36.040 like working under the boot of greed.

00:25:39.620 And it's like, well, when did this become a class struggle?

00:25:43.100 This is a struggle session now because you work hard.

00:25:46.060 And that's the thing.

00:25:46.500 So I picked up on that, and I also agree with what Holmes said of how emblematic that AOC

00:25:51.460 is of the party because she's a fraud, right?

00:25:54.420 Yeah.

00:25:54.580 This is someone who grew up in one of the most expensive parts of New York, right?

00:26:00.140 Saying that, oh, we're going to fight back against the boot of greed because she's just 1.00

00:26:05.260 paying lip service.

00:26:06.600 Yeah.

00:26:06.800 To that stupid socialist foot soldiers that they need out there to be a threat that, hey,

00:26:12.700 listen, if you don't vote our way, there's a reason that businesses get boarded up on

00:26:16.760 election day.

00:26:17.580 You know, she's completely been absorbed by the party establishment in her short time 1.00

00:26:23.080 of getting elected, winning that primary.

00:26:25.040 She's now been brought into, OK, you can give a convention speech. 0.87

00:26:28.220 And and she's mad that she gets chased down by these Gaza protesters when she's trying to 0.92

00:26:32.340 watch a movie.

00:26:32.940 She's like, I'm watching a movie at the theater.

00:26:34.860 Can't you save your genocide talk for some other time?

00:26:38.220 Yeah, she's no longer.

00:26:39.260 She's Sandy from Westchester.

00:26:42.300 That's AOC is Sandy from Westchester.

00:26:44.620 Now she's suddenly like Latino speaking from the Bronx. 1.00

00:26:48.740 Like you're so entire party is a fraud.

00:26:51.640 And like when they talk about how they're going to help working people, they're the ones who 0.99

00:26:55.740 have put the boots on the working class's neck with the way inflation has gone up over

00:26:59.360 the four years.

00:26:59.960 It's a huge fraud.

00:27:00.980 Is that like a Rosie Perez sort of thing you're doing there?

00:27:04.240 I mean, that is what I hear her doing.

00:27:09.280 I am imitating.

00:27:09.820 That is really good.

00:27:10.860 I'm imitating a Spanish person.

00:27:11.680 Oh, yeah.

00:27:12.340 That's really good.

00:27:13.480 That's my my Spanish imitation of her Spanish.

00:27:16.380 And by the way, speaking of which, now they've been doing like the parade of celebrities there.

00:27:19.560 And is it tonight that Anna Navarro is their celebrity?

00:27:22.720 Oh, my God.

00:27:24.460 Oh, my God.

00:27:25.140 They got to the celebrity now somehow.

00:27:27.060 They are fresh out.

00:27:27.800 I'm sorry, but that's like the kind of celebrity you'd find at a Republican National Convention

00:27:30.820 where they can't find it.

00:27:31.960 Bird.

00:27:33.300 Bird.

00:27:33.820 I don't know.

00:27:34.340 We had Megyn Kelly walking around. 0.99

00:27:35.700 That was pretty good.

00:27:36.280 The Republican National Convention.

00:27:37.240 That's a pretty big celebrity.

00:27:39.520 So wait.

00:27:40.400 You raise a very good point about the class warfare.

00:27:42.560 All right.

00:27:42.860 So and they're all fakers.

00:27:43.760 Right.

00:27:44.020 So Sandy from Westchester is Nazanatino from the Bronx.

00:27:47.300 And also her being like Kamala Harris.

00:27:50.240 She understands middle class because she is from the middle class.

00:27:53.060 So Kamala Harris's dad was a professor at Stanford.

00:27:58.580 Her mom had a Ph.D. from Berkeley.

00:28:02.220 So she may have grown up in a duplex because the mom wasn't rich and they got a divorce young. 0.99

00:28:08.920 But that doesn't make her some sort of middle class champion.

00:28:12.100 She's been making hundreds of thousands of dollars on the taxpayer dime ever since she 1.00

00:28:17.560 got out of school.

00:28:18.480 So I hate the rewrite.

00:28:20.260 Like she's actually not some poor pull herself up by the bootstraps. 0.99

00:28:24.700 It's like, you know how many actual working class people would love to have had parents

00:28:28.780 double Ph.D.'s, a respected Ph.D. scientist and professor at Stanford.

00:28:35.220 And she still gets to run around and say, like, I'm just like you.

00:28:38.500 OK, so they're fake.

00:28:39.540 And then you get this attack on somebody who actually is not middle class, working class.

00:28:47.020 I mean, he was poor.

00:28:48.680 His family was poor.

00:28:50.260 His mamaw did a little better. 0.96

00:28:52.300 But his mom was a drug addict. 0.85

00:28:54.580 J.D. Vance, I'm speaking of, who really couldn't hold down a job.

00:28:57.400 He had no father whatsoever in the picture.

00:28:59.740 And this and yet he pulled himself up.

00:29:02.780 He pulled himself up by you by going to the military, doing a service honorably and then

00:29:07.680 coming back and crushing it at Ohio State.

00:29:09.920 And then he parlayed that in a Yale law school.

00:29:11.540 And here are the Democrats.

00:29:13.460 I'll give you Ohio Representative Beatty speaking about the J.D. Vance story.

00:29:19.040 Now, J.D. Vance likes to talk about how he's from Ohio.

00:29:27.400 But as soon as he could, he ran away to Yale and Silicon Valley, cozying up with billionaires

00:29:37.520 while trashing our communities.

00:29:40.040 Communities.

00:29:42.260 Unbelievable.

00:29:43.520 Lives in Cincinnati.

00:29:44.680 Leave Ohio to go to Yale.

00:29:46.800 It is very, very funny for Joyce Beatty, of all people, to be calling J.D. Vance some

00:29:52.780 sort of elitist.

00:29:53.880 When she was appointed to her husband's state rep seat in Ohio, she's been a professional

00:29:59.260 politician for 40 years.

00:30:01.840 Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:30:03.400 When J.D. Vance was deploying to Iraq and then comes back, goes to Ohio State and parlays

00:30:08.000 that into Yale, she had her entire career handed to her by her husband.

00:30:12.300 So it's absolutely incredible for her, of all people, to call him the elitist.

00:30:16.820 And that's the thing, is the absolute hypocrisy and just moral bankruptcy of these people that's

00:30:21.780 being put on display.

00:30:22.860 When you have Kamala Harris being like, you know, she's she brought herself up as a champion 1.00

00:30:28.160 of the middle class.

00:30:29.000 Every job she's ever had, she was appointed to.

00:30:32.480 And every single one of those jobs was a government job being paid for by taxpayers.

00:30:36.460 I don't think people realize this.

00:30:39.060 When you look at who's on the ticket, you've got Tim Balls, who's been on a government job

00:30:44.740 his entire lifetime.

00:30:45.740 Kamala Harris, who has never worked in the private sector either.

00:30:48.620 And then you've got J.D. Vance and Donald Trump.

00:30:50.520 Like, how are you going to say that?

00:30:52.660 You know what?

00:30:53.280 I'm going to help you hardworking folks out there when you've never had to have a real

00:30:57.920 job.

00:30:58.280 You know you're not going to lose a government job.

00:31:00.320 Well, and I never heard this complaint about, I don't know, Barack Obama leaving Chicago

00:31:05.720 community organizing to go to Harvard.

00:31:07.480 Well, he left him behind.

00:31:08.600 Was he leaving Chicago behind?

00:31:10.540 Yeah.

00:31:11.060 And this closing up with billionaires is OK.

00:31:13.600 Like, I met J.D. Vance in 17 when he was, I don't know, I guess 34.

00:31:20.660 And he had gone to law school.

00:31:23.380 And he might have even been younger, whatever that was.

00:31:25.100 Let's do the math.

00:31:25.860 Now it's 24, so seven, so seven years ago.

00:31:29.040 So he was 30, 33.

00:31:32.220 He had gone to Yale Law.

00:31:33.580 He had done the Ohio State into Yale Law School.

00:31:36.340 And then he went out to Silicon Valley for, I think, five years, made some money, decided

00:31:41.180 it wasn't for him.

00:31:41.840 He told me personally he couldn't handle San Francisco.

00:31:44.100 People were defecating on the street.

00:31:45.840 He was like, I'm out of here.

00:31:47.540 And so he left all that money.

00:31:49.540 He left a very well paying job with Peter Thiel and came back home to Ohio.

00:31:55.140 And was starting a foundation for his fellow Ohioans trying to help them improve their

00:32:00.840 lives.

00:32:01.180 That's what he was doing.

00:32:01.780 I found him at 17.

00:32:03.080 It would take a few more years before he would even run for office.

00:32:05.980 So to the contrary, he left a high paying job to come home to Ohio to figure out what

00:32:10.820 he could do for them.

00:32:11.540 And ultimately, he ran for office there to try to do that for them.

00:32:14.540 But this is not a one off from this representative Beatty, Tim Waltz.

00:32:19.040 That what a jerk has said the same thing.

00:32:22.480 Listen to him.

00:32:23.000 They're running for He-Man Women Haters Club or something.

00:32:27.500 That angst that J.D.

00:32:28.860 Vance talks about in Hillbilly Elegy, none of my Hillbilly cousins went to Yale and none

00:32:33.600 of them went on to be adventure capitalists or whatever.

00:32:37.660 It's not who people really are.

00:32:40.660 Well, maybe they were dumb.

00:32:42.860 I don't know anything about his Hillbilly relatives.

00:32:45.220 How are we supposed to make a judgment based on that?

00:32:47.620 How are we supposed to know he actually has Hillbilly relatives?

00:32:50.320 I mean, this guy has told lies about absolutely everything under the sun.

00:32:54.620 Newest this morning in the New York Times.

00:32:56.700 Apparently, he said that he and his wife had IVF.

00:33:00.140 And yes, that wasn't true.

00:33:01.920 Did you see this?

00:33:02.720 Yeah, that was a lot of times.

00:33:04.440 In addition to him saying that he was Newt Rockne and led the team to the national change.

00:33:09.060 And he was actually just a defensive coordinator.

00:33:11.800 And then he was in battle.

00:33:14.140 Yeah.

00:33:15.000 Just tell the truth.

00:33:16.580 You know, just say I was one of the coaches on the team.

00:33:19.800 My wife and I did that.

00:33:21.100 You know, like, why do they have to exaggerate on absolutely everything?

00:33:24.180 The guy is completely dishonest.

00:33:24.700 No, they made him into Craig T. Nelson in that TV series.

00:33:28.240 You know, or Coach T.

00:33:29.760 And Friday Night Lights.

00:33:30.920 No, he's like an assistant volunteer expendable coach on the team.

00:33:35.000 And the IVF thing, it really is amazing.

00:33:38.140 Tomorrow, we're having on Liz Collin of Alpha News, who's been doing great reporting on Tim

00:33:41.680 Walls for a long time.

00:33:43.120 But yes, that's one of the stories we're going to get into.

00:33:45.440 Because we have tape of him on camera saying, we conceived our children through IVF, which

00:33:51.580 J.D. Vance wants to ban.

00:33:53.160 J.D. Vance doesn't want to ban IVF.

00:33:54.640 That's a lie.

00:33:55.600 But his wife, Gwen, came out and admitted that they conceived their children through intrauterine

00:34:01.100 insemination, which is not IVF.

00:34:04.160 It's basically where they insert the man's semen directly into you with like a turkey 0.98

00:34:08.540 baster.

00:34:09.160 It's not where a child is conceived, sorry, in a Petri dish outside of either parent.

00:34:17.320 And now that's the latter.

00:34:18.820 And I use the latter so I can speak to this.

00:34:21.760 It's more controversial because then what do you do with the excess embryos, right?

00:34:25.640 Like that's why people find IVF controversial.

00:34:28.660 There's no such problem with intrauterine insemination.

00:34:31.980 It's it's just a different means of delivering the sperm versus the one we all normally use.

00:34:37.760 Anyway, this is not on my bingo card.

00:34:41.620 Megan's saying turkey baster.

00:34:50.900 I'm just going to get under the desk and let you all figure it out for a while.

00:34:54.580 I got you.

00:34:55.480 I got you a graphic.

00:34:56.820 I'm sorry.

00:34:57.600 I didn't mean for it to.

00:35:00.000 He lied.

00:35:01.000 It's another.

00:35:01.900 It's just another lie.

00:35:03.360 He didn't use IVF.

00:35:05.080 It's the guy.

00:35:06.240 Every day there's a new lie from him.

00:35:07.620 But yeah, and I understand he was introduced with, again, the wrong title yesterday.

00:35:13.060 Oh, yeah.

00:35:13.560 When he was speaking to come.

00:35:14.540 Yes.

00:35:15.060 I mean, oh, we have it.

00:35:16.100 We have that.

00:35:16.760 Listen to this smug.

00:35:17.580 Here he is.

00:35:18.180 They oh, we don't have it.

00:35:19.220 We don't have it, but we'll have it.

00:35:20.420 But every they know he shouldn't be called command sergeant major.

00:35:23.700 He never actually earned it.

00:35:24.740 It was a temporary title that he didn't train for.

00:35:26.800 Go ahead, smug.

00:35:27.220 And that's why I feel fact checks aren't effective is because we already know that they have

00:35:34.120 complete control over the media and that the media they have say, oh, you know, the truth

00:35:40.580 is important.

00:35:41.200 Democracy dies in darkness.

00:35:42.520 And they will like it was hilarious that C-SPAN even put across the top.

00:35:45.520 We are not or we are not life checking these statements because it's a Democrat convention.

00:35:50.800 Don't you know this?

00:35:51.720 You people like at the same time, the Democrats are allowed to run roughshod, say whatever lies

00:35:56.760 they want, which is why I think the focal point needs to not be on trying to fight facts

00:36:01.100 with facts and just focus on fighting fire with fire.

00:36:03.460 The American people are in a position where they are fed up with the way things are going.

00:36:07.220 And if we're not careful, the Democrats are going to try to steal that this is a change

00:36:10.200 election from under us because the vast majority of the public wants a new direction from the

00:36:15.560 horrible way things have been going for these past few years.

00:36:17.640 And Kamala Harris is trying to run away from her part in making that happen. 1.00

00:36:21.460 And instead of worrying about like, well, you know what?

00:36:23.960 This is a lie.

00:36:25.060 Just hammer that message down.

00:36:27.020 Like you've seen what these people are capable of.

00:36:29.560 They're liars and they're horrible people.

00:36:31.280 This is what we can do different.

00:36:32.380 And this is what we have done differently.

00:36:33.840 I think that's really well said, Smug. 0.99

00:36:35.560 You know, one of the things I find so fascinating about Democratic national conventions and things

00:36:39.340 like that is you get a window into the information silo that makes up the liberal part of this

00:36:45.780 country.

00:36:46.320 And it's a wild place.

00:36:48.140 I mean, it is almost everything that came out of anyone's mouth for, God, what felt

00:36:53.820 like 24 hours last night was just made up.

00:36:58.100 Right.

00:36:58.540 I mean, it's just not at all what's happening in this country.

00:37:02.020 And to your point that you just made, I mean, they want to act as though what's happening

00:37:07.340 here at this convention is somehow divorced from the reality of a Biden administration in

00:37:11.880 which she was the number two.

00:37:13.080 And everything's going shitty and they just want to pretend like, I mean, there was there

00:37:17.660 were comments about like, well, these Trump's lying to you about the border, the border.

00:37:23.080 They basically did the border secure thing again.

00:37:25.100 Yeah.

00:37:25.740 You know, and they're talking about the economy.

00:37:27.240 They're talking about all these things like none of it is true.

00:37:30.240 Yeah.

00:37:30.640 It's a little hyperbole in a political convention, but there also has to be just a touch of under

00:37:35.960 undergirding fact.

00:37:37.360 Well, if you didn't know any better, you would think Donald Trump's the current president.

00:37:40.660 Yeah.

00:37:40.940 That's the sort of election they're trying to run right now.

00:37:43.580 And I mean, to Smug's point, we can't lose the fact that this election needs to be a

00:37:48.260 referendum on the last four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

00:37:51.080 We cannot have this be a choice election where she's allowed to reinvent herself and pretend 1.00

00:37:56.280 like she didn't have all those crazy positions in 2019. 1.00

00:38:00.020 You've got Kamala Harris, who's done nothing but fail upward. 0.97

00:38:03.540 You know, she she has been elected to office, but only in blue, blue areas, California, first 0.83

00:38:10.400 DA, then attorney general, then as California senator.

00:38:13.320 And then she got elevated to the vice presidency because he promised James Clyburn he'd find

00:38:17.480 a black woman. 1.00

00:38:18.300 And so she got elevated there.

00:38:20.440 And she is not the only one who we saw on the stage last night who was an obvious DEI

00:38:25.520 hire.

00:38:25.860 That leads me to Kathy Hochul, who is another absolute moron. 1.00

00:38:30.860 She is sadly the governor of the state that I spent 50 years of my life in.

00:38:35.800 And she got there because Andrew Cuomo imploded and she was a lieutenant governor.

00:38:40.700 And amazingly, they reelected her.

00:38:42.780 I mean, they reelected her.

00:38:44.860 And I think, you know, watching her last night, it's because of just her soaring rhetoric,

00:38:51.680 her ability to turn a phrase and just provide huge doses of inspo without much effort like 0.86

00:38:57.420 this one.

00:38:57.940 Watch.

00:38:59.340 New York's motto is excelsior ever upward.

00:39:04.240 Oh, my God.

00:39:05.280 And Trump takes us ever downward.

00:39:08.040 That's just that's how, you know, you completely disrespect your voter base and just hold them

00:39:16.100 in absolute contempt.

00:39:17.120 Is that like Trump bad?

00:39:20.940 Everyone claps.

00:39:23.080 Yes.

00:39:24.180 I can understand that charisma of roadkill.

00:39:27.480 Yeah.

00:39:27.740 You know, she's not even the word like she was lieutenant governor. 1.00

00:39:32.440 Look at the lieutenant governor in Minnesota.

00:39:34.680 She's given Hochul a run for her money. 0.55

00:39:36.580 This one's named Peggy Flanagan. 1.00

00:39:39.200 My name in the Ojibwe language is or in English speaks with a clear and loud voice woman.

00:39:50.580 I'm a member of the White Earth Nation and my family is the Wolf Clan.

00:39:57.240 And the role of our clan is to ensure that we never leave anyone behind.

00:40:01.800 That's why I am supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walls to be the next president and vice

00:40:08.400 president of the United States.

00:40:10.280 I work side by side with Governor Walls.

00:40:14.160 I've seen how hard he's worked to Minnesota for Minnesota to be the best place for kids

00:40:19.020 to grow up.

00:40:19.680 He does it all with a big heart, a buffalo plaid jacket, and a bottomless bag of snacks,

00:40:28.420 nutter butters, cheese curds, and diet do.

00:40:31.840 Your tribe doesn't leave anybody behind unless you're an 82-year-old incumbent president of

00:40:38.800 the United States, in which case, very much behind.

00:40:41.540 Well, I really appreciate that breakdown of, you know, her Native American family's history

00:40:46.360 from Peggy Flanagan.

00:40:47.580 Yeah.

00:40:48.440 Peggy Flanagan.

00:40:50.400 I got a feel for those tribes.

00:40:52.380 You know, she probably came in.

00:40:53.740 They're like, oh, liberal lady, you're so loud.

00:40:57.620 We will just give you a name.

00:40:58.700 We will give you a name if you'll go away.

00:41:01.780 Please go away.

00:41:04.600 You can have a fancy name.

00:41:06.960 Here's your, take your Chardonnay and move off the reservation, Peggy. 1.00

00:41:12.200 Just look at the lineup of Democrat speakers.

00:41:16.880 It's all their elite bureaucrats.

00:41:18.880 Yes.

00:41:19.140 The contrast between what Democrats are putting forward in prime time and what Republicans

00:41:23.480 put forward, which was gold star mothers and small business owners and family members of

00:41:29.320 Hamas hostages.

00:41:31.020 Yeah.

00:41:31.180 There were regular real people in prime time for Republicans.

00:41:34.380 I think it shows you a huge contrast in the values of each party in this election.

00:41:39.040 Also, I think you touched on something really important that I've been thinking about ever

00:41:42.040 since, Megan, you mentioned that, like, who is president right now?

00:41:45.240 And I think the Democrats have this country exactly where they've always wanted it, is

00:41:50.840 that it doesn't matter who's in leadership or who's, you know, quote, calling the shots.

00:41:56.160 They've created these layers and layers of bureaucracy to just keep their machine rolling. 0.94

00:42:01.980 They can even have a change of presidency.

00:42:03.560 Like Trump came in as president.

00:42:04.780 There were still layers and layers of this bureaucracy that can keep the work going, that

00:42:09.040 can keep the money flowing to the various pet projects, that they can spend $50 billion

00:42:12.860 to build seven charge stations, that they can spend $40 billion and not get a single wireless

00:42:17.780 internet station in the ground.

00:42:19.660 This is what they're after, is the machine to dole out to keep this game going.

00:42:23.800 And they want to protect it.

00:42:25.180 The lizard lady with the bad clothes that Megan was talking about.

00:42:28.520 One of the things she said, I don't know if you guys caught this, but she was like,

00:42:32.800 Donald Trump might fire federal employees.

00:42:36.640 Yeah.

00:42:37.720 She was horrified.

00:42:40.020 How soon can we get him in there?

00:42:42.260 Yeah.

00:42:42.860 I will tell you, okay, this is my one other nice moment of the night.

00:42:48.940 I'm going to say something nice.

00:42:49.860 You know who actually I wound up liking?

00:42:53.340 I like, I like our politics are different.

00:42:54.980 She was, she hates Trump, but I liked this woman, Jasmine Crockett. 0.87

00:42:59.160 I actually, I've only seen her being kind of a shit stirrer on Capitol Hill and that's 1.00

00:43:03.380 fine.

00:43:03.640 That's what they kind of do.

00:43:04.600 But, um, she told a nice story about Kamala.

00:43:09.120 I was like, this is what they should be doing.

00:43:11.060 Get up there, try to rehabilitate this woman who we know is a bully from, we know this from 0.98

00:43:17.220 the Washington Post and other mainstream media outlets that have been reporting on it when

00:43:21.420 she was not yet the nominee.

00:43:22.580 She was still just the lowly vice president. 0.99

00:43:24.700 So they felt fine taking shots at her.

00:43:26.680 Um, but we need stories like that, right?

00:43:29.960 If her, her party needs that, if they want her to get elected. 1.00

00:43:32.560 So Jasmine Crockett got up there. 1.00

00:43:34.480 And at first I was like, how did this nobody get a speaking role at the convention?

00:43:38.500 And then I was like, you know what?

00:43:39.900 She's winning me over because she told a nice story.

00:43:43.180 She talked about how she was a public defender.

00:43:45.140 And so she knows a good prosecutor when she sees her. 0.92

00:43:48.100 That was good.

00:43:49.100 You know, she laid the foundation 20 years.

00:43:50.780 She'd been doing that before she ran for Congress. 0.98

00:43:52.460 And then she told this story when I visited the vice president's residence for the first

00:43:57.920 time, as I approached vice president Harris for our official photo, she turned to me and 0.52

00:44:06.300 asked, what's wrong?

00:44:10.080 Mind you, we'd never met, but she saw right through me.

00:44:15.640 She saw the distress.

00:44:18.560 I immediately began crying.

00:44:22.460 And the most powerful woman in the world, wipe my tears and listen.

00:44:39.040 That was sweet.

00:44:48.860 I like that story.

00:44:49.660 Good story.

00:44:50.440 Right.

00:44:50.880 It was good.

00:44:51.420 And I was just so cynical, though.

00:44:53.740 I'm just so cynical about this stuff.

00:44:56.100 Okay.

00:44:56.500 I was just warming up to her.

00:44:58.460 And then she said this.

00:44:59.640 The question before us is, will a vindictive, vile villain violate voters' vision?

00:45:15.600 For a better America or not, I hear alliterations are back in style.

00:45:20.680 I'll give her this.

00:45:26.900 I mean, she's got, she's got personality, right?

00:45:29.160 Which is more than you see out of most Democrats.

00:45:31.240 I don't really care for the wedding singer attire.

00:45:33.800 Yeah.

00:45:34.520 It's not my, yeah, that wouldn't have chewed.

00:45:37.340 It's a lot.

00:45:38.200 It's a lot.

00:45:38.680 It's a lot.

00:45:40.580 But, you know, I mean, look, I'm so cynical about this.

00:45:43.180 Looking from Kamala Harris's point of view, what do they have?

00:45:46.020 Like, a five-seat majority in the House.

00:45:48.120 That lady takes a walk. 1.00

00:45:50.820 They're going to be real down.

00:45:53.140 Like, Republicans are going to be able to pass things.

00:45:54.620 I mean, she was first elected in 22 with a very slim Republican majority.

00:45:58.100 She's losing a Democratic vote. 0.99

00:45:59.660 They were in the midst of a speaker fight, if you remember, where they still held out

00:46:03.180 hopes that Hakeem Jeffries would actually be speaker because Republicans were self-immolating

00:46:07.440 at that point.

00:46:08.360 Like, the idea that she's just sort of, like, personally drawn towards a stranger, I think,

00:46:12.960 is belied by the rest of her career. 0.99

00:46:14.500 So you are suggesting, Josh Holmes, that Kamala Harris's wiping of the tears was instant.

00:46:20.980 It was like, shore up.

00:46:22.920 Get in there and vote our way.

00:46:24.860 That's exactly what I'm suggesting.

00:46:27.540 I haven't known an authentic emotion from an elected Democrat in some 20 years of doing

00:46:32.180 this, right?

00:46:32.940 I mean, it's just, it's all so bad.

00:46:36.440 And the Dr. Seuss routine isn't bad.

00:46:39.060 She's got a good personality. 0.92

00:46:40.380 She's very entertaining.

00:46:41.380 That's the thing.

00:46:42.460 Like, I kind of don't mind.

00:46:43.740 I expect them to just lie with impunity.

00:46:46.200 And that's what we got.

00:46:47.260 But at least if you're going to lie to me, make it entertaining.

00:46:49.400 She made it entertaining.

00:46:50.200 So what you're saying, I'm interested in your guys' take on that.

00:46:53.860 What you're saying is that Kamala Harris in that moment was another version of the weirdly

00:46:59.340 smiling Nancy Pelosi.

00:47:00.920 We love Joe.

00:47:02.880 Another version.

00:47:03.460 Yeah, I think so.

00:47:06.100 I mean, look, Nancy Pelosi is a perfect embodiment. 0.99

00:47:09.120 She's been at the top.

00:47:10.200 So she's had more scrutiny.

00:47:11.280 And so you can see into how she operates more clearly.

00:47:15.460 But it's not unique and distinct to Nancy Pelosi.

00:47:18.560 It's unique and distinct to the Democratic Party to the point where if you had any questions

00:47:22.740 about that, look what they did to the incumbent president of the United States eight weeks ago.

00:47:25.800 They don't give a shit about anything other than holding on to power, whatever vestige of power

00:47:33.160 that they have, trying to drag this country as far left as they could possibly do it.

00:47:38.600 They've caught the bus on a number of occasions.

00:47:41.460 And the only thing they can do is reinvent a further left place to take us.

00:47:46.120 Yeah, you're exactly right.

00:47:47.700 When Chuck Tumor went for that private meeting with Joe Biden, it wasn't about how do we

00:47:52.260 get your face on Mount Rushmore before this election?

00:47:55.520 You know what I mean?

00:47:56.460 Ruthless broke.

00:47:57.100 You make a great point.

00:47:58.140 Yeah.

00:47:58.420 Right.

00:47:58.960 That's right.

00:47:59.560 Thank you.

00:48:00.080 Ruthless broke the news.

00:48:00.560 Thank you, Meg.

00:48:01.400 One of the few who prayed us with that.

00:48:03.240 That was the beginning of the end.

00:48:04.960 Yeah.

00:48:05.180 So, I mean, I just couldn't believe, like, Nancy Pelosi, she was up there.

00:48:09.400 Do we have that soundbite of her on CNN talking about how, you know, it wasn't about

00:48:14.940 him.

00:48:15.200 It was about his party.

00:48:16.480 But she admits, like, she's now admitting she did it.

00:48:19.320 Here she is.

00:48:19.780 And I know that there, it was very difficult for him.

00:48:22.740 That's been made very clear by some of his top aides, like Anita Dunn and Ron Klain.

00:48:28.660 And there does seem to be, even though Anita Dunn said earlier today, quote, nobody wants

00:48:32.620 to have a fight with Nancy Pelosi at this time, unquote, it does seem like there's some residual

00:48:38.880 bad blood or resentment.

00:48:40.340 And I'm wondering if you've spoken to him and what your response is to that.

00:48:44.740 Sometimes you just have to take a punch for the children.

00:48:48.420 And that's what you're doing right now.

00:48:49.600 You're just going to take the punch for the children. 0.65

00:48:51.480 I have to do what I have to do.

00:48:53.740 Right.

00:48:54.320 He made the decision for the country.

00:48:57.620 My concern was not about the president.

00:48:59.940 It was about his campaign.

00:49:02.660 Nobody is questioning the fact that the Democratic Party seems much better positioned right now

00:49:07.840 than it did four weeks and two days ago.

00:49:10.120 There's no question about that.

00:49:11.540 Former Speaker Pelosi.

00:49:12.620 So why are we even talking about it?

00:49:15.840 And he said the network made a mask.

00:49:18.540 That's exactly what Holmes said, because it's only in service of the mission of holding on

00:49:24.000 to power.

00:49:24.360 She's like, so why even talk about it?

00:49:25.900 Yeah.

00:49:26.120 Why are we talking about anything?

00:49:27.160 Yeah.

00:49:27.500 But in questioning my methods, that's the thing is.

00:49:29.600 And she's not admitting she did it.

00:49:31.680 It's like a threat.

00:49:33.220 Like people who think she's still not calling the shots.

00:49:35.440 You think Hakeem Jeffries is calling the shot?

00:49:37.180 Yeah.

00:49:37.400 She's like, I just I just killed a president in front of everybody.

00:49:40.080 Yeah.

00:49:40.160 Why are we discussing if it was fair or honest or just?

00:49:44.920 Yeah.

00:49:45.280 You know, to the voters, they don't matter.

00:49:46.980 No.

00:49:47.540 All that matters is that Kamala's poll numbers went up.

00:49:50.120 Yeah.

00:49:51.080 It was truly like a you need me on that wall kind of moment.

00:49:55.280 Yes.

00:49:56.000 Yes.

00:49:56.280 Yes.

00:49:56.360 Colonel Jessup.

00:49:57.300 I do kind of respect it.

00:49:58.400 I respect it that she's brazen enough to say she did it for the children.

00:50:02.940 I just sort of out of left field.

00:50:05.580 But also, that's a wild thing to say.

00:50:06.680 Sometimes you got to take a punch for the children.

00:50:08.220 This sounds like a horrible situation.

00:50:09.560 Oh, who's trying to punch children? 0.98

00:50:12.900 Democrats.

00:50:13.940 And all the way through the ninth month.

00:50:17.500 All right.

00:50:18.480 Stand by.

00:50:20.460 We have much more to get to, including what appeared to be a reference to sexual gratification

00:50:27.540 by the CNN panel as they watched events unfold last night.

00:50:31.160 Stand by.

00:51:35.240 Someone is trying to frame us.

00:51:42.500 Like Bonnie and Clyde with better snacks.

00:51:45.920 Espionage?

00:51:46.580 You still as good a shot as you used to be?

00:51:57.160 We make up our own rules.

00:51:58.420 NCIS Tony and Ziva, now streaming on Paramount+.

00:52:02.500 So continuing with our theme of how fake what we saw last night was,

00:52:12.140 I give you now, Jill Biden sought 10.

00:52:16.020 Weeks ago, when I saw him dig deep into his soul

00:52:21.900 and decide to no longer seek re-election

00:52:25.720 and endorse Kamala Harris.

00:52:35.500 He dug deep, guys.

00:52:37.300 That's how it went down.

00:52:38.860 Soul searched.

00:52:40.180 Also, whenever they made that transition from either when it was Joe speaking

00:52:44.620 and even when Joe was speaking over to Kamala,

00:52:47.480 didn't she seem small?

00:52:48.540 Like, you know, even among, like, the Nancy Pelosi's

00:52:52.460 and even the Maxine Waters,

00:52:54.340 it just comes off as Kamala's just, like, not even close

00:52:58.440 in terms of, like, the same level as these folks

00:53:00.860 who've had experience, won elections, you know?

00:53:04.180 It's like when they go back to her,

00:53:05.660 it just kept, at least to me,

00:53:07.620 it was a shock of, like,

00:53:09.340 this is really their presidential nominee.

00:53:11.820 Yeah, they were, like, walking this line

00:53:13.660 between passing the torch,

00:53:16.240 although that's bullshit in and of itself.

00:53:18.100 It had to be ripped from his hands.

00:53:19.420 He didn't want to pass the torch.

00:53:20.780 I mean, he did, like, two months

00:53:22.200 of insisting that he could still do the job

00:53:24.520 and that the polling said that he would win.

00:53:26.700 But it got to the point

00:53:29.240 that it was sort of patronizing of Kamala, you know?

00:53:33.180 Like, the best decision I made

00:53:35.540 in my whole political career

00:53:37.680 was this thing I telegraphed on day one

00:53:40.840 that I'd nominate a Black woman as vice president.

00:53:43.380 It just happened to be this woman. 0.99

00:53:44.600 That was my best decision my entire political career.

00:53:46.820 I mean, come on.

00:53:47.820 I mean, he's had a lot of really bad decisions.

00:53:50.680 So, to your point earlier about, like,

00:53:53.260 where are the real people, you know,

00:53:54.940 with their real stories,

00:53:56.340 what I saw of that last night

00:53:57.720 was the three women who have had abortions

00:54:00.640 who got up there to talk about abortion.

00:54:03.380 And I have nothing but empathy

00:54:06.200 for the third woman who talked about

00:54:08.100 how she was raped by her stepfather.

00:54:10.480 Her name is Hadley Duvall.

00:54:13.860 But where she took that horrific experience

00:54:17.060 in the conclusion,

00:54:18.840 like what her takeaway was on it politically,

00:54:21.560 was just dead wrong.

00:54:23.800 I mean, it was really wrong.

00:54:26.020 Here's what she said.

00:54:26.940 I can't imagine not having a choice.

00:54:32.840 But today, that's the reality

00:54:35.540 for many women and girls across the country

00:54:38.320 because of Donald Trump's abortion bans.

00:54:43.720 He calls it a beautiful thing.

00:54:46.260 What is so beautiful

00:54:50.440 about a child

00:54:52.460 having to carry

00:54:54.320 her parents' child?

00:54:59.260 You don't have to look very far

00:55:01.140 to hear Donald Trump's actual position

00:55:04.060 on abortion,

00:55:05.380 and in particular,

00:55:06.600 rape and incest exceptions.

00:55:08.040 Listen.

00:55:08.660 Yeah.

00:55:09.500 Like Ronald Reagan,

00:55:11.020 I believe in the exceptions.

00:55:12.660 I am a person that believes.

00:55:14.860 And frankly,

00:55:15.760 I think it's important

00:55:16.680 to believe in the exceptions.

00:55:17.780 Some people,

00:55:18.240 you have to follow your heart.

00:55:19.160 Some people don't believe in that.

00:55:20.680 But I believe in the exceptions

00:55:22.200 for rape, incest,

00:55:24.160 and the life of the mother.

00:55:25.880 I think it's very important.

00:55:27.360 Some people don't.

00:55:28.180 Follow your heart.

00:55:28.940 But you have to get elected also.

00:55:31.700 Now, guys,

00:55:32.920 that was not ancient history.

00:55:34.720 That was at the June debate

00:55:36.060 with Joe Biden.

00:55:36.960 Where are the 10,000 fact checks

00:55:39.740 of the misinformation

00:55:41.300 that was given out

00:55:43.000 from the DNC floor

00:55:44.760 last night

00:55:45.760 on an important piece

00:55:48.960 of this contest?

00:55:51.700 People have been debating abortion

00:55:53.100 at every debate,

00:55:53.920 at every appearance.

00:55:55.140 Where does Trump stand?

00:55:56.240 He's made perfectly clear

00:55:57.640 he's taken shit from the right

00:55:59.040 for saying what he said there.

00:56:01.880 And yet,

00:56:02.760 I'll wait for PolitiFact

00:56:05.440 and the others

00:56:06.300 to fact check,

00:56:07.800 yes,

00:56:08.120 a sympathetic person

00:56:09.520 who got up there

00:56:10.880 and said very false things

00:56:13.260 about Trump's position.

00:56:15.300 Yeah, I mean,

00:56:16.120 look,

00:56:16.380 it's the worst kind of lie

00:56:18.380 because it's wrapped up

00:56:19.720 in a horrific,

00:56:21.160 highly emotional story

00:56:22.660 that you can immediately

00:56:23.900 sort of sympathize with

00:56:26.240 and identify with

00:56:27.840 of a horrible choice

00:56:29.460 that this young woman

00:56:30.720 had to make.

00:56:31.300 But even in the setup

00:56:32.460 to ultimately

00:56:33.340 the big lie

00:56:34.860 that she had there,

00:56:36.160 she's calling it

00:56:36.760 Donald Trump's abortion ban.

00:56:38.620 Like,

00:56:39.180 look,

00:56:39.700 I understand that

00:56:40.500 a convention

00:56:41.480 is not the place

00:56:42.380 for nuance

00:56:42.980 or that kind of thing.

00:56:44.700 But I mean,

00:56:45.140 we're talking about

00:56:45.800 a Supreme Court decision

00:56:46.760 that was decided

00:56:48.180 and threw these things

00:56:49.500 back to a bunch of states

00:56:50.700 of whom you elect

00:56:52.480 your representatives

00:56:53.180 and then they make

00:56:54.160 the policy.

00:56:55.140 The idea

00:56:55.680 that Donald Trump

00:56:56.920 is somehow presiding

00:56:57.980 over abortion bans

00:56:59.180 is entirely ridiculous

00:57:00.840 even before

00:57:01.840 you get to the point

00:57:03.060 where his stated position

00:57:04.740 since the time

00:57:05.460 he came down

00:57:06.040 the golden escalator

00:57:07.180 was exceptions

00:57:08.660 for rape,

00:57:09.840 incest,

00:57:10.260 or life and health

00:57:11.740 of the mother.

00:57:12.640 But there are no fact checks

00:57:13.740 because the media

00:57:14.460 is on their side.

00:57:15.600 I mean,

00:57:15.760 we say it over and over

00:57:16.820 and over again,

00:57:17.500 but it's true.

00:57:18.300 Like,

00:57:18.520 we talked about this

00:57:19.400 Tim Walls IVF thing.

00:57:21.120 In the New York Times story

00:57:22.880 about the Tim Walls IVF lie,

00:57:25.540 they write,

00:57:27.260 Tim,

00:57:27.560 people assumed

00:57:28.980 that Tim Walls

00:57:30.360 had a baby through IVF.

00:57:32.140 They didn't write,

00:57:34.020 like,

00:57:34.660 why they assumed it.

00:57:36.460 Tim Walls told people

00:57:37.600 he had a baby through IVF.

00:57:38.860 They had a baby through IVF.

00:57:40.260 They don't fact check.

00:57:43.160 Like,

00:57:43.720 then the coach thing.

00:57:45.040 Politico wrote a profile

00:57:46.960 with artwork

00:57:48.180 with, like,

00:57:49.380 X's and O's 0.99

00:57:50.500 and plays

00:57:51.280 making him look like

00:57:53.200 he was Eddie Robinson.

00:57:54.360 The coach thing

00:57:55.180 really riles up Ashbrook.

00:57:57.120 He just really,

00:57:57.720 he just,

00:57:58.260 like,

00:57:59.120 the little lies

00:58:00.300 he tells

00:58:00.920 over and over again

00:58:02.100 that are, like,

00:58:03.480 boosted by the media

00:58:04.980 rather than, like,

00:58:06.080 checked and beat down.

00:58:07.040 And I think there's a reason

00:58:07.800 for that.

00:58:08.280 It's more stolen valor.

00:58:09.680 Yeah.

00:58:10.400 It's like Duncan said

00:58:11.840 of they're trying to run

00:58:13.200 against Donald Trump

00:58:14.460 and not the horrors

00:58:15.700 of living under

00:58:16.520 the Biden-Harris administration.

00:58:18.920 So when they say

00:58:19.640 that it's a Trump ban,

00:58:20.640 they want you to think that,

00:58:22.040 wow,

00:58:22.320 these past four years

00:58:23.120 have sucked. 0.96

00:58:23.640 I guess it must have been

00:58:24.960 because of Trump

00:58:25.840 somehow.

00:58:27.260 And they have to lie about it

00:58:28.920 because are they going to be able

00:58:30.140 to have a convention

00:58:31.000 where they're like,

00:58:31.980 let's celebrate

00:58:32.920 the price of groceries

00:58:34.160 going up 50 percent.

00:58:35.680 You're not getting rounds

00:58:36.400 of applause with that.

00:58:38.800 Kamala herself

00:58:39.700 is trying to act

00:58:40.460 like she wasn't a part

00:58:41.460 of that,

00:58:41.800 saying that, like,

00:58:42.540 groceries have gone up

00:58:43.680 by 50 percent.

00:58:44.460 Well,

00:58:44.940 what are you going to do

00:58:46.340 about it

00:58:46.620 when you were already

00:58:47.260 there causing it?

00:58:48.240 You need another

00:58:48.860 Green New Deal to say that.

00:58:50.020 She's going to use the FTC

00:58:51.200 to write to write

00:58:52.480 these very wrong

00:58:53.400 grocery prices.

00:58:54.300 You control them

00:58:55.060 right now.

00:58:55.800 Right now.

00:58:57.080 Like you're in the office.

00:58:58.820 That's actually something.

00:58:59.520 If that's your solution,

00:59:00.640 why don't you just go

00:59:01.520 get that done?

00:59:02.220 But she doesn't.

00:59:03.020 And she's banking

00:59:03.680 on people not

00:59:04.280 knowing any of that.

00:59:05.300 One of the most

00:59:08.280 outrageous moments

00:59:09.020 last night.

00:59:10.440 Truly one of the most.

00:59:11.340 I mean,

00:59:11.700 because they're joyful.

00:59:12.600 They're joyful.

00:59:13.380 They're a party

00:59:13.780 of uplift.

00:59:15.240 And on the eve

00:59:16.520 of Bill Clinton

00:59:18.360 coming to the stage,

00:59:20.560 because he comes

00:59:21.320 not tonight,

00:59:22.080 but tomorrow.

00:59:22.500 So I guess two eves away.

00:59:24.080 They have the nerve

00:59:25.420 to run like an ad

00:59:28.120 about law and order.

00:59:29.760 I referenced it

00:59:30.540 in the intro.

00:59:31.480 And they borrow

00:59:32.380 a little bit

00:59:33.000 from the Dick Wolf show.

00:59:34.380 And here is a bit

00:59:36.620 of what they played.

00:59:39.540 In the criminal

00:59:40.540 justice system,

00:59:41.820 the people are represented

00:59:42.900 by two separate

00:59:43.760 yet equally important groups.

00:59:45.780 The police

00:59:46.400 who investigate crime

00:59:47.560 and the district attorneys

00:59:49.180 who prosecute

00:59:49.960 the offenders.

00:59:51.220 This is the story

00:59:52.120 of Donald Trump.

00:59:54.600 His entire life,

00:59:56.220 Trump has believed

00:59:56.960 he's above the law,

00:59:58.580 that no one would ever

00:59:59.500 dare hold him accountable.

01:00:01.340 He lies.

01:00:02.340 He rips off workers.

01:00:03.300 He sexually abuses women.

01:00:05.360 Hey, when you're a star,

01:00:06.140 they let you do it.

01:00:07.180 You can do anything.

01:00:08.820 He cheats in business.

01:00:10.900 He cheated on his wife

01:00:11.980 with a porn star

01:00:13.020 and paid her off

01:00:14.460 so the American people

01:00:15.540 wouldn't find out

01:00:16.460 during an election.

01:00:18.760 But in the criminal

01:00:19.740 justice system,

01:00:21.080 ordinary Americans

01:00:22.000 have had the courage

01:00:22.980 to find him accountable

01:00:24.080 time and time again.

01:00:26.240 Guilty.

01:00:26.760 Guilty.

01:00:27.540 Guilty.

01:00:27.980 Donald Trump guilty

01:00:29.360 on all 34 felony counts.

01:00:32.000 For the first time

01:00:32.720 in history,

01:00:33.580 we have a convicted felon

01:00:35.140 running for president.

01:00:36.520 And to take on this case,

01:00:38.540 we need a president

01:00:40.020 who has spent her life

01:00:41.260 prosecuting perpetrators

01:00:42.660 like Donald Trump.

01:00:45.480 Mm-hmm.

01:00:47.720 Amen.

01:00:48.480 I don't know where to begin,

01:00:49.460 but let's just start

01:00:50.440 with cheated on his wife.

01:00:52.920 Her husband,

01:00:54.440 Kamala Harris's

01:00:55.740 own husband,

01:00:57.520 the man who she wants us

01:00:58.640 to make first gentleman,

01:01:00.680 cheated on his first wife 0.50

01:01:02.580 with the nanny,

01:01:04.060 which honestly is worse

01:01:05.640 than with a porn star.

01:01:07.040 With the nanny 0.85

01:01:08.000 whom he impregnated.

01:01:10.400 He did not deny this report

01:01:12.380 when it was brought to him.

01:01:14.020 Nobody knows what happened

01:01:14.880 to the baby.

01:01:15.640 Was the baby aborted?

01:01:17.140 Is there a love child

01:01:18.000 that Doug Emhoff

01:01:19.360 has with this woman?

01:01:20.740 We don't know

01:01:21.380 because the media

01:01:22.140 won't follow up on this.

01:01:23.580 I didn't see that

01:01:24.300 in her video last night.

01:01:25.740 Not to mention

01:01:26.780 the Bill Clinton problems.

01:01:28.860 Donald Trump

01:01:29.620 is a predator.

01:01:31.400 Bill Clinton's

01:01:32.880 predatory behavior

01:01:34.460 puts every politicians

01:01:36.860 to shame.

01:01:38.640 He's the OG

01:01:39.640 sexual predator.

01:01:41.360 And he'll be taking

01:01:42.340 the stage

01:01:42.960 on Wednesday night

01:01:43.920 with her blessing.

01:01:45.820 She'll be sitting

01:01:46.420 in the audience

01:01:47.060 applauding the man

01:01:48.640 who was accused

01:01:50.020 of raping

01:01:50.960 Juanita Broderick,

01:01:52.700 of sexually assaulting

01:01:54.740 Kathleen Willey

01:01:55.840 and Paula Jones

01:01:57.540 and I could keep going.

01:01:59.620 But you see,

01:02:00.280 we're supposed to

01:02:01.000 memory hole

01:02:01.560 all of that

01:02:02.580 because he's Bill Clinton.

01:02:05.520 Yeah.

01:02:06.540 Yeah, it's sadistic.

01:02:08.160 Also, you know,

01:02:09.340 the whole premise

01:02:10.080 of her being

01:02:10.840 tough on crime

01:02:11.880 is just a laughable proposition.

01:02:13.900 I saw an ad,

01:02:14.820 I think it was

01:02:15.340 MAGA Inc.

01:02:16.420 or something

01:02:16.840 that had a relative

01:02:17.540 of somebody

01:02:18.200 who was killed

01:02:19.000 by a recidivist

01:02:20.040 that she let out

01:02:20.660 of prison

01:02:21.080 in California.

01:02:22.640 We all remember,

01:02:23.680 obviously,

01:02:24.100 the bail fund

01:02:24.820 in Minneapolis

01:02:25.420 that let a whole bunch

01:02:26.360 of criminals

01:02:26.820 out of jail

01:02:28.080 after trashing

01:02:28.920 the city of Minneapolis

01:02:29.980 and the rate

01:02:30.880 of recidivism

01:02:31.700 and violent crime

01:02:33.240 amongst a few of them

01:02:34.400 was astronomical,

01:02:35.920 unthinkable

01:02:36.600 with somebody

01:02:37.940 who tries

01:02:39.120 to fashion

01:02:39.660 themselves

01:02:40.160 as tough

01:02:41.080 on crime.

01:02:41.740 They just don't have

01:02:43.060 and the reason

01:02:43.500 that they switched

01:02:44.240 to the Trump thing

01:02:45.100 and we said this

01:02:45.560 from the very beginning

01:02:46.280 of why they wanted

01:02:47.540 Donald Trump

01:02:48.180 is because their

01:02:48.720 whole game plan

01:02:49.480 before they knew

01:02:50.560 that they had

01:02:50.980 to trash Joe Biden

01:02:52.800 was if they could

01:02:55.020 convict him

01:02:55.620 in a court of law

01:02:56.600 and just put a ceiling

01:02:58.320 on his vote

01:02:59.720 at like 48%

01:03:00.960 in the states

01:03:01.480 that matter

01:03:02.060 with the rhetoric

01:03:03.160 that this is a convicted felon

01:03:04.480 over and over and over again,

01:03:05.560 they would never actually

01:03:06.240 have to talk about

01:03:07.020 what it is

01:03:07.420 that they've done

01:03:07.860 to this country

01:03:08.520 and now that they've gone

01:03:10.120 through this six-week period

01:03:11.460 of their own struggles

01:03:12.920 but threw Joe Biden

01:03:14.160 overboard,

01:03:14.820 they're back

01:03:15.260 to the game plan

01:03:16.100 and that little video

01:03:18.400 I think is the best

01:03:19.640 representation

01:03:20.220 of the original strategy

01:03:22.420 that Democrats

01:03:23.320 were taking

01:03:23.800 into 2024

01:03:24.620 that was on hiatus

01:03:26.560 over the summer

01:03:27.540 but they're now

01:03:28.400 back in action

01:03:29.320 and they think

01:03:29.800 they've got a winner with it.

01:03:30.800 It does absolutely nothing

01:03:32.800 to convince

01:03:33.680 a single persuadable

01:03:35.140 voter in this country.

01:03:36.360 Like that's catnip

01:03:37.180 for the base

01:03:37.980 and the people

01:03:38.360 who are sitting there

01:03:39.000 at that Democratic convention

01:03:40.220 but if you listen

01:03:41.380 to what actual

01:03:42.060 persuadable voters

01:03:43.100 or these double haters

01:03:44.180 want to hear,

01:03:46.280 they want to hear

01:03:46.880 from Kamala

01:03:47.440 what she actually

01:03:48.080 plans to do.

01:03:48.900 They want to hear

01:03:49.380 policy positions

01:03:50.280 and a vision

01:03:51.060 for the future

01:03:51.580 of the country.

01:03:52.660 This whole idea

01:03:53.640 of her being a prosecutor

01:03:55.300 who's going to take it

01:03:56.020 to Donald Trump

01:03:56.700 does not motivate

01:03:57.640 a single one

01:03:58.160 of those people

01:03:58.680 to vote for her.

01:03:59.380 Well, it's belied

01:03:59.980 by the fact

01:04:00.480 that she was never

01:04:01.840 tough on her.

01:04:02.520 And it's also,

01:04:03.620 it also,

01:04:04.940 yeah,

01:04:05.400 I mean,

01:04:06.140 people have just,

01:04:06.800 they have such cynicism

01:04:08.020 and such a low regard

01:04:09.220 for the media

01:04:09.880 and politicians

01:04:10.600 at this point,

01:04:11.440 you know,

01:04:11.680 back to from Russiagate

01:04:13.360 to COVID,

01:04:14.800 we got a mass toddlers

01:04:15.800 but if you're going

01:04:16.380 to burn down cities

01:04:17.380 with BLM,

01:04:18.040 you don't have

01:04:18.380 to wear a mask.

01:04:19.500 You know,

01:04:19.720 stuff like that.

01:04:20.700 Like people are just

01:04:21.500 so cynical

01:04:22.000 to the point

01:04:22.580 where like,

01:04:23.700 they don't care.

01:04:24.820 They do not care

01:04:25.980 that Donald Trump

01:04:26.620 was convicted

01:04:27.200 of these felonies

01:04:28.080 in New York.

01:04:28.820 They see right

01:04:29.400 through that thing.

01:04:30.100 So you're going

01:04:30.360 to have to give them

01:04:30.900 more than this contrived

01:04:32.280 notion you're the

01:04:33.000 tough on crime prosecutor.

01:04:34.780 Yeah.

01:04:35.300 It makes you wonder.

01:04:36.320 Can I tell you,

01:04:36.560 like some of the stuff

01:04:37.600 they're saying about him,

01:04:38.460 he could actually sue for.

01:04:39.560 It's impossible

01:04:40.040 to sue as a public figure

01:04:42.020 for defamation.

01:04:43.320 But some of the stuff,

01:04:44.160 including the lie

01:04:46.180 about there are fine people

01:04:47.840 on both sides.

01:04:48.920 I mean,

01:04:49.120 honestly,

01:04:49.520 that is so untrue.

01:04:50.420 It's been proven untrue.

01:04:51.220 Just roll the tape

01:04:52.240 of what he actually said.

01:04:53.860 You actually could recover

01:04:54.980 in a court of law

01:04:56.660 potentially

01:04:57.020 for something like that.

01:04:58.540 And that wasn't it.

01:05:00.180 I mean,

01:05:00.360 of course,

01:05:00.800 the whole night

01:05:01.220 was spent Trump bashing.

01:05:02.600 Somebody did a rundown

01:05:03.400 where it was like

01:05:03.980 the number of,

01:05:05.140 I might have screen grabbed it.

01:05:06.340 This is how I prepare

01:05:07.040 for the show.

01:05:07.540 I see interesting things

01:05:08.320 and I screen grab them

01:05:09.040 and come back to them.

01:05:10.040 But in any event,

01:05:10.840 it was something like

01:05:11.440 the number of

01:05:12.720 the references

01:05:15.000 of illegal immigration

01:05:16.100 and the number of references

01:05:17.360 of health care and so on.

01:05:18.480 And they were just down

01:05:19.200 to like the tiny numbers.

01:05:20.560 Here it is.

01:05:20.880 Border eight times.

01:05:21.700 Crime six times.

01:05:22.940 Inflation three times.

01:05:24.920 Trump 147 times.

01:05:27.400 Yeah.

01:05:28.120 That's the game plan.

01:05:29.380 That's the game plan.

01:05:30.440 They just don't.

01:05:31.300 They always thought

01:05:32.560 that they could prosecute

01:05:33.580 this this case

01:05:34.740 against Donald Trump

01:05:36.080 by never talking

01:05:37.120 about themselves.

01:05:37.760 And they are back

01:05:38.440 on track on that

01:05:39.280 for what they think.

01:05:40.040 And the media is certainly

01:05:40.700 not going to hold

01:05:41.800 them accountable.

01:05:42.900 But I think Duncan's

01:05:43.800 probably right in that

01:05:44.880 when we get into

01:05:45.440 the thrucks of this

01:05:46.240 in a post Labor Day

01:05:47.120 environment,

01:05:47.580 you continue to have

01:05:48.700 bad economic news.

01:05:50.920 Nothing is particularly

01:05:52.120 optimistic and good

01:05:54.020 about the tenure

01:05:54.660 of this administration.

01:05:55.940 People are going to want

01:05:56.720 some answers

01:05:57.180 at some level.

01:05:58.060 You know,

01:05:58.360 it's not just going

01:05:59.020 to be an emotional

01:05:59.920 well, this person's

01:06:01.660 different than

01:06:02.460 the last person

01:06:03.380 type choice.

01:06:04.760 But it does get them

01:06:05.780 very, very close.

01:06:07.000 And I think

01:06:07.980 Republicans would

01:06:09.500 be making a grave

01:06:11.440 mistake if they think

01:06:12.840 that there isn't

01:06:14.180 some persuasion

01:06:15.160 power here

01:06:16.000 in at least

01:06:16.840 reconsolidating

01:06:18.160 a Democratic base.

01:06:19.220 Because I think

01:06:19.740 one of the things

01:06:20.200 I was going to say

01:06:20.900 is it's becoming

01:06:22.440 clear that Democrats

01:06:23.780 view this as a

01:06:24.520 base turnout election.

01:06:26.080 They do not think

01:06:28.000 that they have

01:06:28.740 the power of persuasion

01:06:29.980 on their side.

01:06:31.340 And they're right

01:06:31.740 about that.

01:06:32.380 Yep.

01:06:32.800 So the question is

01:06:33.620 whether or not

01:06:34.260 and that's why

01:06:34.900 they ultimately

01:06:35.360 kicked Joe Biden

01:06:36.080 off this ticket

01:06:36.720 because he had

01:06:37.220 a Hamas problem 0.99

01:06:38.080 and she doesn't

01:06:38.840 and an elderly

01:06:40.520 problem and she doesn't. 0.97

01:06:42.240 It had nothing to do

01:06:42.840 with the policies

01:06:43.440 that are different

01:06:43.920 because there is

01:06:44.340 no difference.

01:06:45.480 Right.

01:06:45.780 It's just the presentation.

01:06:47.380 And if you can

01:06:48.000 reconsolidate

01:06:49.060 that Democratic base

01:06:50.620 to try to turn out

01:06:51.620 in numbers of people

01:06:52.820 who just hate

01:06:53.720 Donald Trump,

01:06:54.840 that's the only

01:06:55.420 qualification for this group.

01:06:56.940 So if you just

01:06:57.700 hate Donald Trump,

01:06:59.340 yeah,

01:06:59.740 they poured fuel

01:07:00.740 onto that fire

01:07:01.340 multiple times

01:07:02.100 last night.

01:07:02.540 I believe that you

01:07:03.140 that one ad

01:07:03.840 and Dark Brandon

01:07:04.800 returned.

01:07:05.880 And here's

01:07:06.520 Raphael Warnock,

01:07:07.920 one of their

01:07:08.520 rising stars,

01:07:09.860 senator from the

01:07:11.400 state of Georgia,

01:07:12.460 U.S. senator,

01:07:13.500 weighing in.

01:07:15.400 Watch.

01:07:16.680 America,

01:07:17.420 make no mistake.

01:07:18.940 Donald Trump

01:07:19.780 is a plague

01:07:21.340 on the American

01:07:22.520 conscience.

01:07:23.400 He is a press.

01:07:32.840 He is a

01:07:33.540 clear and present

01:07:35.220 threat.

01:07:37.120 Okay.

01:07:38.640 It was

01:07:39.460 two days ago,

01:07:42.680 three days at most,

01:07:43.660 that I watched

01:07:44.200 a CNN panel

01:07:45.260 melt down

01:07:46.600 because

01:07:47.620 one of the panelists,

01:07:49.820 Nancy Mace,

01:07:50.480 mispronounced

01:07:51.820 Kamala.

01:07:53.180 Watch.

01:07:54.320 When you

01:07:55.020 disrespect Kamala

01:07:56.140 Harris by saying

01:07:56.800 you will call her

01:07:57.360 whatever you want,

01:07:58.320 I know you don't

01:07:58.920 intend it to be

01:07:59.540 that way.

01:08:00.220 That's the history

01:08:00.900 and legacy of

01:08:01.620 white disregard 0.61

01:08:02.220 for the humanity

01:08:02.980 of black people.

01:08:03.660 So now you're

01:08:04.040 calling me racist.

01:08:04.620 I didn't say it.

01:08:05.180 I said it.

01:08:05.780 Come on.

01:08:06.380 That is complete

01:08:07.260 yes.

01:08:07.380 You don't have to

01:08:07.960 intend racism

01:08:08.700 to accomplish

01:08:09.660 your name right.

01:08:10.240 And Kamala Harris,

01:08:11.700 if I want

01:08:12.440 a man,

01:08:13.600 I will say

01:08:14.580 everything I want.

01:08:16.100 It's Kamala.

01:08:17.160 You're doing

01:08:17.620 a self-respect

01:08:18.360 this Congress.

01:08:18.840 I am not.

01:08:19.320 Disrespectful.

01:08:19.840 Just a second.

01:08:21.320 They don't like

01:08:22.380 the disrespect,

01:08:23.260 guys.

01:08:24.060 It's not okay

01:08:24.980 to disrespect.

01:08:26.380 The funniest thing

01:08:27.120 is they all learned

01:08:27.700 how to pronounce

01:08:28.220 her name a month ago.

01:08:29.660 You know?

01:08:30.160 And first of all,

01:08:31.140 her name is Sanskrit.

01:08:32.640 Kamala is a 0.58

01:08:33.520 Sanskrit name.

01:08:34.620 You know?

01:08:35.060 And they're trying

01:08:35.520 to make it this

01:08:36.020 attack on a black woman.

01:08:37.460 Sorry, it's just

01:08:38.000 sort of hard to pronounce.

01:08:39.160 Like, nobody's

01:08:39.840 doing it on purpose.

01:08:40.760 We're all trying our best.

01:08:41.820 Even if she was

01:08:42.700 doing it on purpose,

01:08:43.660 who cares?

01:08:44.840 You're calling him

01:08:45.800 a sexual predator.

01:08:48.060 You've got

01:08:48.580 Raphael Warnock

01:08:49.460 saying he's a clear

01:08:50.300 and present threat

01:08:51.480 that he's a plague.

01:08:53.120 You've got Joe Biden

01:08:54.340 who just spoke out

01:08:55.200 a couple days ago

01:08:55.980 calling him Donald Dump.

01:08:58.020 F you

01:08:58.940 and your phony 0.81

01:09:00.180 indignation

01:09:01.620 over calling her

01:09:03.060 Kamala

01:09:04.060 instead of Kamala.

01:09:05.580 This is so fake.

01:09:08.120 Who would have guessed

01:09:08.940 that Mace would have

01:09:09.620 had a tough shake

01:09:10.740 on that panel?

01:09:12.220 I questioned the booking.

01:09:14.260 That did not seem

01:09:15.380 like it was going to go well

01:09:16.460 from the jump.

01:09:17.280 And again,

01:09:17.680 it was what?

01:09:18.240 They gave 48 hours

01:09:19.600 after one of their folks

01:09:21.120 tried to kill Donald Trump

01:09:22.200 to being back to like,

01:09:23.660 he is a clear

01:09:24.480 and present threat

01:09:25.580 to America.

01:09:26.320 Yeah, great points.

01:09:28.200 Hitler. 0.57

01:09:29.100 Hitler. 0.57

01:09:29.740 Right?

01:09:30.300 We're back to Hitler. 0.96

01:09:31.380 By the way,

01:09:32.180 how about the fact

01:09:33.000 that that thing's been

01:09:34.300 completely erased

01:09:35.200 out of the memory?

01:09:36.960 It's out of the news.

01:09:38.380 Like, didn't happen.

01:09:39.540 The assassination

01:09:40.280 attempt on Trump,

01:09:41.380 it's truly as if

01:09:42.680 it was a nothing

01:09:43.500 in the news cycle

01:09:44.820 when the media,

01:09:46.380 it's like the line

01:09:47.140 from Mommy Dearest,

01:09:48.180 if she doesn't like you,

01:09:49.360 she can make you disappear. 1.00

01:09:50.940 That's what happened.

01:09:51.560 It is.

01:09:54.960 It is.

01:09:56.080 Sad state of affairs

01:09:57.080 we have ourselves in here.

01:09:58.280 Well, there's a reason

01:09:58.880 for that, right?

01:09:59.500 I mean, it's like

01:09:59.960 he looked heroic,

01:10:00.660 he looked sympathetic,

01:10:01.840 that it would require them

01:10:03.060 to tone down their rhetoric

01:10:04.120 and they're not okay

01:10:05.280 with any one

01:10:06.620 of those messages,

01:10:08.120 any one of those things.

01:10:08.980 Meantime, you've got Trump

01:10:09.920 who, he says this

01:10:11.620 and the media freaks out

01:10:12.760 like, oh my God,

01:10:13.940 he won't change,

01:10:14.680 he's terrible.

01:10:15.280 And I'm listening to him

01:10:16.220 having heard all this other stuff

01:10:17.540 thinking, yes,

01:10:18.480 I totally understand.

01:10:20.140 Listen to Sot 31,

01:10:22.400 this is Trump

01:10:22.900 at Bedminster.

01:10:23.580 All I want to do

01:10:24.040 is have strong borders

01:10:25.200 and good education.

01:10:26.960 We want to have choice

01:10:27.880 for education.

01:10:29.000 So important,

01:10:29.460 so many different things

01:10:30.420 you would think

01:10:31.320 it would be the other way.

01:10:32.120 We rebuilt the military,

01:10:33.500 we did so many great things.

01:10:34.900 People don't know

01:10:35.800 who she is.

01:10:37.180 As far as the personal attacks,

01:10:39.140 I'm very angry at her

01:10:40.480 that she'd weaponized

01:10:41.480 the justice system

01:10:42.420 against me

01:10:43.020 and other people.

01:10:43.960 Very angry at her.

01:10:45.480 I think I'm entitled

01:10:46.540 to personal attacks.

01:10:49.980 Where's he wrong?

01:10:51.980 He's not wrong. 0.53

01:10:53.200 And you know,

01:10:53.440 that's the thing is

01:10:54.000 when you'd mention that

01:10:54.860 it's actionable legally,

01:10:56.260 the things that have been said

01:10:57.740 about him that,

01:10:58.780 you know,

01:10:58.920 these lies that defame him,

01:11:01.100 like both people,

01:11:01.920 find people on both sides

01:11:02.820 kind of thing.

01:11:03.520 The one problem is

01:11:04.760 good luck finding

01:11:06.100 a fair court

01:11:07.520 for Donald Trump.

01:11:09.020 I mean,

01:11:09.280 that is the issue.

01:11:10.100 The reason that

01:11:10.740 in New York City,

01:11:11.920 you can find

01:11:13.120 these trumped up charges,

01:11:14.680 turn them into felonies

01:11:15.980 where the feds

01:11:16.780 wouldn't want to

01:11:17.480 go after them

01:11:18.360 because there was

01:11:18.840 no merit to it.

01:11:20.100 But they can make

01:11:21.240 a person guilty

01:11:22.240 of 40 felonies

01:11:23.420 because politically

01:11:24.420 they don't like him.

01:11:26.080 Good luck finding a court

01:11:27.160 that's going to let you do

01:11:28.340 what is legal.

01:11:30.340 Yeah.

01:11:30.640 He might be getting

01:11:31.640 sentenced to jail,

01:11:32.480 you guys,

01:11:32.900 in a matter of weeks.

01:11:34.400 September 18th

01:11:35.080 is the sentencing day

01:11:35.860 in front of Judge Mershon.

01:11:37.100 Andy McCarthy

01:11:37.640 is convinced

01:11:38.760 he's going to get

01:11:39.380 sentenced to jail

01:11:40.180 with a suspended sentence,

01:11:41.380 meaning he won't have to

01:11:42.140 go right off to jail.

01:11:43.580 He'll be given the chance

01:11:44.300 to appeal,

01:11:44.820 but the lawfare

01:11:46.020 is not done

01:11:46.680 and this is like

01:11:48.040 the crowning moment,

01:11:48.880 right?

01:11:49.080 Like this is what they,

01:11:50.200 this is what they came for.

01:11:51.620 Like get a convicted felon

01:11:54.100 who has been sentenced

01:11:56.400 to jail.

01:11:57.660 How are you going to

01:11:58.440 elect him

01:11:59.100 to the presidency?

01:12:00.200 But if you can say

01:12:02.000 Kamala instead of Kamala

01:12:03.700 or whatever it is,

01:12:04.700 you're disgusting.

01:12:07.540 You know,

01:12:08.380 maybe it's a silver lining.

01:12:10.120 Donald Trump's poll numbers

01:12:11.140 were at their best

01:12:11.920 when he was on trial

01:12:12.880 in New York.

01:12:14.300 I think if they take

01:12:15.900 the brazen step

01:12:16.720 of trying to sentence him

01:12:17.680 to prison of any kind,

01:12:19.300 they're going to be

01:12:19.900 sorely, sorely mistaken

01:12:21.960 on what the ramifications

01:12:23.500 are of that.

01:12:24.540 I think they're going

01:12:24.980 to be a huge,

01:12:25.660 the kind of stuff

01:12:26.240 that we saw back in April

01:12:27.100 when he was convicted

01:12:27.740 in the first place

01:12:28.440 and all of a sudden

01:12:28.980 there's a three,

01:12:29.560 four point jump

01:12:30.320 in his ballot question.

01:12:31.580 Well, Holmes,

01:12:32.100 can you explain that?

01:12:33.160 Can you explain that?

01:12:33.880 Because I think

01:12:34.480 the base for sure

01:12:35.280 will be more animated

01:12:36.400 than ever.

01:12:37.340 Well, maybe not than ever

01:12:38.420 because I,

01:12:38.880 I mean,

01:12:39.140 after the assassination attempt,

01:12:40.780 but the numbers,

01:12:41.820 how could they get higher?

01:12:42.600 It wasn't just,

01:12:43.140 but what about

01:12:43.900 those independents?

01:12:44.760 How would that motivate

01:12:45.880 the independents he needs?

01:12:47.700 Yeah, I mean,

01:12:48.020 what we saw in the spring

01:12:49.520 was it went well

01:12:50.300 beyond the base.

01:12:51.060 In fact,

01:12:51.320 there's never really

01:12:51.940 been a base problem

01:12:52.760 for Donald Trump.

01:12:53.560 He's always had

01:12:54.040 a codlock on that.

01:12:55.740 What we saw happen

01:12:56.960 in April

01:12:57.840 is constituencies

01:12:58.920 that have been harder

01:12:59.480 for him to reach

01:13:00.420 sort of in the center left,

01:13:01.580 center right

01:13:02.060 of the electorate,

01:13:03.600 predominantly women,

01:13:05.280 thought this guy

01:13:05.920 was getting railroaded

01:13:06.960 and they couldn't believe

01:13:08.200 that in this country

01:13:08.980 you had a political opponent,

01:13:10.100 which was going

01:13:10.920 to be the Republican nominee

01:13:11.980 for president

01:13:12.660 of the United States

01:13:13.360 being prosecuted

01:13:14.560 not only by

01:13:15.340 the administration

01:13:16.160 that was an incumbent,

01:13:18.160 but also states

01:13:19.260 that ran entirely

01:13:20.580 on a platform

01:13:21.940 of putting this guy

01:13:22.740 in jail.

01:13:23.240 I mean,

01:13:23.380 that is the antithesis

01:13:24.940 of what this country

01:13:25.900 was actually founded on.

01:13:27.720 And when it was right

01:13:28.300 in the face

01:13:28.720 of the American people,

01:13:29.620 there was a pretty clear choice.

01:13:31.020 It was,

01:13:31.280 I mean,

01:13:31.420 he was running dead even

01:13:32.620 with women.

01:13:34.120 He was ahead

01:13:34.920 with independence.

01:13:35.820 Now we've seen

01:13:36.400 all that recede

01:13:37.180 over the summer

01:13:37.700 and all the events

01:13:38.480 and chaos

01:13:39.460 that we've had

01:13:40.040 from a debate

01:13:40.640 and assassination attempt

01:13:41.740 and everything else.

01:13:43.040 But I think

01:13:44.000 if they go back

01:13:44.580 down that road

01:13:45.160 in September,

01:13:46.360 you could see

01:13:46.940 a recreation

01:13:47.480 of that environment.

01:13:48.160 I mean,

01:13:48.300 because outside

01:13:48.960 of the assassination attempt,

01:13:50.460 which obviously

01:13:51.320 was a great high watermark

01:13:52.880 for Donald Trump

01:13:53.520 and his approval numbers

01:13:54.580 jumped and everything,

01:13:55.640 like trying to put him

01:13:56.980 in prison

01:13:57.360 is the only way

01:13:58.080 you can make

01:13:58.700 Donald Trump sympathetic

01:14:00.100 to those cohorts

01:14:01.760 of the electorate

01:14:02.460 who otherwise

01:14:03.220 don't really like the guy

01:14:04.580 because that system,

01:14:06.380 the system

01:14:07.200 that would put him

01:14:08.400 in prison

01:14:08.900 is a system

01:14:09.460 they also don't trust.

01:14:11.100 Right?

01:14:11.620 And so they find it,

01:14:13.040 they find that suddenly

01:14:13.960 they're on the side

01:14:15.240 of Donald Trump,

01:14:15.920 a person who they would

01:14:16.760 otherwise never vote for.

01:14:18.320 Totally right.

01:14:18.860 And if this is,

01:14:19.580 if this really is a base

01:14:20.740 motivation style election

01:14:23.040 where Democrats

01:14:24.160 are betting

01:14:24.800 that they have to turn out

01:14:25.960 their whole base,

01:14:27.240 what do you think

01:14:27.860 happens to our base

01:14:28.960 if they try to do that

01:14:30.780 to Trump

01:14:31.240 on the eve of the election?

01:14:32.740 I mean,

01:14:33.200 every single person

01:14:34.860 is going to come out

01:14:35.620 to vote on our side.

01:14:36.740 Yeah,

01:14:36.920 no question.

01:14:38.480 Well,

01:14:38.860 I mean,

01:14:39.360 I think it may happen.

01:14:40.800 Andy's smart.

01:14:41.560 I've all along

01:14:42.220 been thinking

01:14:42.640 he wouldn't get a jail term,

01:14:43.920 but Andy's point

01:14:45.300 is that the way

01:14:46.400 they tried this case

01:14:47.480 is not just

01:14:49.220 a business records case.

01:14:50.500 They tried it as

01:14:51.540 he tried to steal

01:14:53.360 an election,

01:14:54.320 you know,

01:14:55.100 by paying off this woman.

01:14:56.800 We had our,

01:14:57.640 he had an obligation

01:14:59.040 to let us hear

01:15:00.160 what Stormy Daniels 0.94

01:15:01.240 had to say

01:15:01.980 and his unwillingness

01:15:04.000 to allow that

01:15:04.860 was a theft

01:15:05.900 of Hillary Clinton's

01:15:07.500 rightful victory

01:15:08.340 and thus,

01:15:09.800 if that's what

01:15:10.520 he's been convicted of

01:15:11.880 in the eyes

01:15:12.980 of these prosecutors

01:15:13.640 and this jury

01:15:14.880 and this judge,

01:15:16.120 then why wouldn't

01:15:17.220 he be sentenced

01:15:17.860 to jail?

01:15:18.420 That's a very serious

01:15:19.260 offense to actually

01:15:20.400 steal an election.

01:15:22.860 And so,

01:15:23.440 like,

01:15:24.100 September 18th

01:15:25.220 is an important date

01:15:26.220 to circle on your calendar.

01:15:27.460 It's going to be

01:15:27.940 a very,

01:15:28.400 very big news date

01:15:29.380 and they scheduled

01:15:31.400 the hearing

01:15:32.340 on whether

01:15:32.840 the Supreme Court's

01:15:33.940 immunity decision

01:15:35.060 will vitiate

01:15:36.520 the need for sentencing,

01:15:37.820 right?

01:15:37.980 Does it save Trump

01:15:38.840 for two days

01:15:40.360 in advance?

01:15:41.800 It's either the hearing

01:15:42.460 or his decision

01:15:43.140 on that comes down.

01:15:44.160 But the point is,

01:15:45.100 and Andy was making this

01:15:45.980 over on his podcast,

01:15:47.940 they did that,

01:15:48.980 Mershon likely did that

01:15:49.980 because he knows

01:15:50.620 he's not going

01:15:51.160 Trump's way on it.

01:15:52.080 He's going to say,

01:15:52.760 yeah,

01:15:53.460 some things came in

01:15:54.580 that otherwise

01:15:55.060 shouldn't have come in

01:15:55.980 because the Supreme Court

01:15:56.760 said you also can't

01:15:57.620 use evidence

01:15:58.400 of what a president

01:15:59.500 did with his official acts

01:16:01.200 in any criminal case

01:16:02.260 against him.

01:16:03.360 But he,

01:16:03.820 Mershon could say,

01:16:04.420 yeah,

01:16:04.520 but that was,

01:16:04.880 it was immaterial.

01:16:05.740 Like,

01:16:05.940 we would have reached

01:16:07.080 the same judgment

01:16:07.580 without that stuff.

01:16:08.580 And his prediction is

01:16:09.900 that's exactly what

01:16:10.880 Mershon has decided to do.

01:16:12.380 He'll sort of give,

01:16:13.440 like,

01:16:13.760 lip service

01:16:14.260 to the immunity decision

01:16:15.480 and say,

01:16:16.000 that doesn't affect us.

01:16:17.160 And two days later,

01:16:17.840 he'll sentence

01:16:18.380 Donald J. Trump

01:16:19.160 to jail,

01:16:21.060 but then suspend

01:16:22.140 the sentence pending.

01:16:23.220 That's fascinating.

01:16:24.400 That's a fascinating take.

01:16:25.800 Just a low point

01:16:27.140 in our democracy

01:16:27.980 if that is in fact

01:16:29.060 what happens.

01:16:30.220 I will say,

01:16:30.700 just politically,

01:16:31.480 how people consume this

01:16:32.480 outside of all

01:16:33.420 the great details

01:16:34.280 that you laid out,

01:16:35.820 I think there's

01:16:36.220 a fundamental question

01:16:37.160 which is easily answered

01:16:38.980 by almost everybody

01:16:40.300 across the ideological

01:16:41.320 spectrum,

01:16:42.180 which is,

01:16:43.320 would these charges

01:16:44.200 have been brought?

01:16:45.480 Would he have been convicted

01:16:46.740 if he weren't running

01:16:48.340 for president?

01:16:49.300 And there is nobody,

01:16:50.740 no serious person

01:16:52.120 anywhere in this country

01:16:53.480 who thinks that they would.

01:16:55.500 I mean,

01:16:55.740 they had,

01:16:56.260 what,

01:16:56.420 15 years

01:16:57.040 to bring these record cases?

01:16:59.500 It wasn't until

01:17:00.020 he filed for re-election

01:17:01.100 that they actually

01:17:02.820 went out and filed them.

01:17:04.000 I mean,

01:17:04.200 that's why

01:17:05.340 these things

01:17:06.700 are more quickly

01:17:08.140 consumed by the American people 0.68

01:17:09.480 than Democratic politicians

01:17:10.640 would lead you to believe.

01:17:12.620 Mm-hmm.

01:17:14.340 I mean,

01:17:14.780 it's going to be

01:17:15.700 a dark day.

01:17:17.240 Meanwhile,

01:17:17.680 it's nothing but joy

01:17:18.320 on the Democrat side

01:17:19.160 and I want to get

01:17:19.660 to some of the joy

01:17:20.320 that they felt.

01:17:21.000 I mean,

01:17:21.140 when they say joy,

01:17:21.900 they mean joy,

01:17:23.320 they mean like joy,

01:17:24.840 joy at an inappropriate level.

01:17:27.840 I'll put it that way.

01:17:29.360 Listen,

01:17:29.700 you tell me

01:17:30.320 if you sense

01:17:30.900 any sort of

01:17:32.240 interesting somethings

01:17:33.740 in Dana Bash's language

01:17:35.880 last night

01:17:37.120 talking about

01:17:38.880 the Democrats

01:17:40.300 taking in

01:17:41.620 the moment

01:17:42.520 Colin Harris appeared

01:17:43.640 and she made some remarks.

01:17:45.020 Listen to how she described

01:17:46.380 their reaction.

01:17:47.920 The crowd is really

01:17:49.340 excited here.

01:17:50.780 It's electric

01:17:52.100 and not to mix metaphors

01:17:54.000 but it does feel like

01:17:55.640 something just got uncorked.

01:17:58.700 Like,

01:17:59.140 you know,

01:17:59.420 there's just a lot of pressure

01:18:00.680 and all of a sudden

01:18:02.080 everybody feels free

01:18:03.460 to express their joy

01:18:07.480 and there's no question

01:18:09.520 that this is a feeling

01:18:11.920 that Democrats

01:18:12.980 wanted to feel.

01:18:14.900 They were searching

01:18:15.900 for this kind of energy

01:18:18.140 and this kind of enthusiasm.

01:18:19.560 particularly,

01:18:21.940 well,

01:18:22.220 just in general

01:18:23.040 but particularly given

01:18:24.060 the Republican

01:18:25.180 that they're running against.

01:18:27.280 I'm sorry,

01:18:28.240 but...

01:18:29.480 I see what you're doing here.

01:18:31.340 You save these kind of things

01:18:32.420 for us,

01:18:32.900 don't you, Becky?

01:18:33.680 I do.

01:18:34.420 Try to get it.

01:18:35.040 I do.

01:18:35.880 I'm not giving this

01:18:36.800 as Charles C.W. Cook.

01:18:38.100 Smog,

01:18:41.020 what was your hot take on that?

01:18:42.560 So here's what I'm going to say.

01:18:44.640 What else can be said?

01:18:45.740 What can be said?

01:18:46.220 No.

01:18:46.980 I just love

01:18:48.080 on the night

01:18:48.680 that they were supposed

01:18:49.400 to be like,

01:18:50.000 we're sending off Joe.

01:18:51.300 Yeah.

01:18:52.000 That they're like,

01:18:52.480 well, he was a cork.

01:18:53.560 Yeah.

01:18:54.040 He had everything

01:18:54.900 stuck in the way.

01:18:55.600 He was in the way of our joy.

01:18:56.880 We're popping champagne

01:18:57.700 on his political grave.

01:18:58.840 It's just unbelievable.

01:19:03.380 I do want to say

01:19:04.200 something in my defense.

01:19:05.220 I did raise

01:19:06.160 the Jeffrey Toobin

01:19:07.260 masturbatory incident

01:19:08.500 with Victor Davis Hanson,

01:19:09.740 so there's really no bridge

01:19:11.080 I won't cross 1.00

01:19:11.840 to get the story of the day.

01:19:14.460 I'm glad to see

01:19:15.560 fair and balanced

01:19:16.240 all the way through.

01:19:17.400 Yeah.

01:19:17.800 Yeah.

01:19:18.100 See, I love it.

01:19:19.240 I respect you guys.

01:19:20.320 I respect you.

01:19:21.060 And I don't even have

01:19:21.880 to be drunk to do it.

01:19:22.840 I don't have to be drunk.

01:19:23.680 I do it stone cold sober.

01:19:26.360 Maybe the same cannot be said

01:19:27.840 for our potential next president.

01:19:29.640 Have you guys seen the memes

01:19:31.240 questioning whether Kamala Harris

01:19:33.080 is drunk or just a dunce?

01:19:37.200 Is she drunk or dumb? 1.00

01:19:39.440 Is she drunk or disorderly?

01:19:41.600 I don't know.

01:19:43.920 I'm of two minds on it.

01:19:45.240 I've seen some clips

01:19:46.040 where she's a little slurry. 0.84

01:19:47.740 I can see her.

01:19:49.440 And you're like, what?

01:19:51.460 But some of the evidence,

01:19:52.720 I was like, I don't know.

01:19:54.880 We put together the montage

01:19:56.040 of the clips

01:19:56.940 that have been circulating

01:19:58.000 as the alleged evidence

01:19:59.880 that she's a boozer. 1.00

01:20:02.180 And you guys, we report,

01:20:03.900 you decide.

01:20:04.420 Watch.

01:20:05.760 You know, we have to stay woke.

01:20:07.920 Like, everybody needs to be woke.

01:20:10.880 And you can talk about

01:20:13.200 if you're the wokest or woker,

01:20:15.240 but just stay more woke

01:20:16.740 than less woke.

01:20:18.580 Yeah.

01:20:18.980 There is this wonderful word

01:20:20.360 that has a great meaning,

01:20:21.640 and it's called hypothesis.

01:20:25.180 Which means

01:20:26.080 that you have an idea

01:20:28.600 and then it is well accepted.

01:20:31.960 It will be tested.

01:20:32.880 It has Wi-Fi

01:20:34.400 and even USB outlets

01:20:37.520 next to every seat.

01:20:40.040 I mean, come on, imagine.

01:20:41.700 You can charge your phone

01:20:42.960 on your way home from work.

01:20:44.280 That's good stuff.

01:20:46.800 I'm pointing to the direction

01:20:47.940 of what I believe is the Capitol.

01:20:52.060 He's going to speak in a minute,

01:20:54.280 but there's a lot of love

01:20:56.980 in this room for our president.

01:20:59.340 Give us a hard time sometimes,

01:21:00.800 and she would say to us,

01:21:02.220 I don't know what's wrong

01:21:03.120 with you young people.

01:21:04.560 You think you just fell out

01:21:05.780 of a coconut tree?

01:21:08.140 I was about to go round and round.

01:21:11.380 Just say, hey, Joe.

01:21:13.360 Instead of saying, no, we can't,

01:21:15.420 let's say, yes, we can.

01:21:18.740 I call myself a joyful warrior.

01:21:22.740 Right?

01:21:23.840 Never let anyone

01:21:24.880 take your joy from you.

01:21:29.300 I can't say, you know,

01:21:31.420 I'm not a doctor or whatever,

01:21:33.300 I guess, or an officer

01:21:34.780 on the side of the road,

01:21:35.780 making a walk of line on this

01:21:37.040 or a substance abuse counselor.

01:21:38.860 I just know when I have

01:21:39.860 like eight or nine bourbons,

01:21:41.100 I think everything I'm saying

01:21:42.320 is really profound,

01:21:43.520 smart and funny.

01:21:45.480 And like, if I were being videoed,

01:21:47.440 I'm probably the only person laughing.

01:21:49.320 Yeah.

01:21:50.100 And I bet it looks a lot like that.

01:21:52.640 I don't know, man.

01:21:53.820 I'm also, I'm also not a doctor,

01:21:56.420 but I think she's dumb. 1.00

01:21:58.940 I really do.

01:22:00.740 I think that's the diagnosis is stupid.

01:22:03.720 There's also sort of like

01:22:04.800 a stoner mentality to her. 0.98

01:22:06.960 A little bit.

01:22:07.380 Like the, um,

01:22:08.540 maybe a gummy.

01:22:09.320 That's good stuff.

01:22:10.360 Like, yeah,

01:22:10.920 like that's like a high schooler

01:22:12.120 with munchies at the Taco Bell 0.99

01:22:13.380 drive-in window

01:22:14.240 at three in the morning.

01:22:15.120 You're like, listen, man,

01:22:15.960 there's like,

01:22:16.480 there's a USB charger in your car.

01:22:18.260 Oh, it's amazing.

01:22:21.760 It's bad stuff.

01:22:23.260 It's true.

01:22:23.820 Like, you're going to hear

01:22:25.280 in a minute.

01:22:26.140 Yeah.

01:22:26.680 Yeah.

01:22:27.080 Okay.

01:22:29.620 So it's an ongoing problem.

01:22:32.120 There's no way she's drunk

01:22:33.020 at all these public appearances.

01:22:35.200 Somebody would notice.

01:22:36.660 Work for the Kennedys.

01:22:37.660 But she does have like a wine bar 1.00

01:22:38.300 named after her or something like that.

01:22:40.180 I don't know.

01:22:40.400 Like a kind of a theme, whatever.

01:22:42.840 Um, here she is in Pennsylvania

01:22:43.980 this weekend

01:22:44.660 and this one made the rounds.

01:22:46.560 People are like,

01:22:47.320 what is she saying?

01:22:48.860 And as you'll see

01:22:49.900 in the second soundbite we'll play,

01:22:51.340 it's what we call a pattern.

01:22:54.080 Okay.

01:22:54.400 Listen to her in Pennsylvania

01:22:55.980 this past weekend

01:22:56.620 talking about democracy.

01:22:59.220 Our election is about understanding

01:23:01.440 the importance of this beautiful country of ours

01:23:04.700 in terms of what we stand for

01:23:06.460 around the globe as a democracy.

01:23:09.940 As a democracy.

01:23:11.940 We know there's a duality

01:23:14.320 to the nature of democracy.

01:23:16.460 Come on.

01:23:17.120 On the one hand,

01:23:18.520 incredible strength

01:23:20.300 when it is intact,

01:23:23.120 incredibly strong

01:23:24.740 and incredibly fragile.

01:23:31.700 It's just,

01:23:32.660 you make a good point.

01:23:34.880 She can't be drunk

01:23:35.820 at every single one of these things,

01:23:37.220 but she can be dumb 1.00

01:23:38.200 at every single one of these things.

01:23:39.500 That's the control.

01:23:41.880 That's the control.

01:23:43.120 She reminds me of like,

01:23:45.060 oh, you got more?

01:23:45.760 She's not done.

01:23:46.720 Hold it, hold it.

01:23:47.580 She's not done.

01:23:48.380 Watch.

01:23:49.000 She loves this one.

01:23:49.920 The nature of democracy is,

01:23:52.740 there are two sides to it

01:23:55.080 in terms of the nature of it.

01:23:56.440 There's a duality.

01:23:57.500 There's a duality

01:23:58.720 to the nature of democracy.

01:23:59.960 When it's intact,

01:24:03.580 oh, it's so strong.

01:24:06.540 And it's very fragile.

01:24:10.340 The nature of democracy,

01:24:11.420 there's a duality to it.

01:24:12.480 It has two sides to it.

01:24:14.340 Democracy,

01:24:15.060 there's a duality to it.

01:24:16.580 On the one hand,

01:24:18.400 a democracy,

01:24:19.820 when it is intact,

01:24:21.320 is very strong.

01:24:23.340 On the other hand,

01:24:25.060 and here is the duality,

01:24:26.260 democracy is also

01:24:27.620 extremely fragile.

01:24:29.160 It will only be as strong

01:24:31.340 as the willingness

01:24:32.300 of its people

01:24:33.280 to fight for it.

01:24:36.240 I love how she says,

01:24:40.620 and here's the duality part.

01:24:41.900 And here's the duality

01:24:42.840 because it's the second part.

01:24:44.160 Like, you know,

01:24:45.040 it's a really good

01:24:45.980 rhetorical device

01:24:46.820 when you have to explain it

01:24:47.920 that much.

01:24:48.720 She's not like in the full act.

01:24:51.120 Each and every one,

01:24:52.160 it's like she's thinking it

01:24:53.420 through on the fly.

01:24:54.580 It's a very simple concept.

01:24:56.260 It's a pretty simple concept.

01:24:57.880 It's acting.

01:24:58.920 That's exactly right.

01:24:59.660 That's her acting, right?

01:25:00.740 That's her fakeness. 0.94

01:25:02.620 Yep.

01:25:03.020 Yep.

01:25:03.220 No, that's exactly right.

01:25:04.140 I mean, she reminds me

01:25:04.980 of like the shittiest

01:25:05.820 motivational speaker

01:25:06.780 that's ever addressed

01:25:07.660 a junior high

01:25:08.380 anywhere in this country.

01:25:09.600 Yeah.

01:25:10.060 That and a cross between

01:25:11.260 like a substitute teacher

01:25:12.320 who has more degrees

01:25:14.400 than a thermometer

01:25:15.060 but can't hold down a job.

01:25:16.680 Like, the combination

01:25:17.760 of those two things

01:25:18.800 is I think where you get

01:25:20.060 like the duality.

01:25:21.000 Maybe mix in a tip-top

01:25:22.340 or a Chardonnay

01:25:23.100 and then you got like

01:25:23.920 the full perfect.

01:25:24.620 She just,

01:25:26.640 like there is no wisdom there.

01:25:28.960 That's the thing

01:25:29.500 that's so impossible

01:25:31.480 about her becoming president.

01:25:33.300 You're like,

01:25:33.620 there's no wisdom.

01:25:35.380 There's no depth of thinking.

01:25:36.860 This person's

01:25:37.520 not fast on her feet

01:25:39.160 and whatever she tries to use

01:25:41.220 as a stirring rhetorical device

01:25:43.280 is false,

01:25:45.100 empty,

01:25:45.500 and didn't work on me

01:25:47.280 the first 10 times

01:25:48.320 you tried it.

01:25:49.040 But remember,

01:25:51.960 remember the first three years

01:25:53.920 of Biden's administration.

01:25:55.060 She was a punchline

01:25:56.400 for everybody

01:25:57.140 because of this

01:25:58.140 and everybody was like,

01:25:59.080 oh no,

01:25:59.560 Joe Biden's not going anywhere

01:26:00.720 because his insurance policy

01:26:02.180 is his vice president.

01:26:03.540 Nobody thinks

01:26:04.320 his vice president

01:26:05.140 can actually do that job.

01:26:06.920 I mean,

01:26:07.360 that's what everybody

01:26:08.220 talked about

01:26:09.240 before she got the nod

01:26:11.660 to be their nominee.

01:26:12.780 And now all of a sudden,

01:26:13.900 everybody has to be

01:26:15.200 one of her yes-men staffers.

01:26:17.860 The entire press

01:26:18.740 has to be her yes-person staffer

01:26:20.520 who listens to that bullshit

01:26:22.420 over and over again

01:26:23.400 and is like,

01:26:23.820 oh yeah,

01:26:24.760 Kamala,

01:26:25.460 that sounds so smart.

01:26:27.080 You killed it, boss.

01:26:28.080 You know what I mean?

01:26:28.700 Everything that was once absurd

01:26:30.220 that they laughed at

01:26:31.040 is now treated as profound.

01:26:32.680 Yeah.

01:26:32.900 Right.

01:26:33.340 Yeah.

01:26:33.660 And the few staffers

01:26:35.000 that are left

01:26:35.560 because she ran through

01:26:36.460 about 10 dozen of them

01:26:38.140 the first year and a half.

01:26:39.540 There were multiple stories

01:26:41.260 written about

01:26:41.900 that specific thing.

01:26:43.400 Yeah.

01:26:43.780 That she just couldn't hold,

01:26:44.780 like nobody wanted to work for her.

01:26:45.960 She was insane.

01:26:46.840 She had these like

01:26:47.560 circular logic reasoning machines

01:26:49.560 and kept getting pissed off

01:26:51.020 that she was put in a position

01:26:52.200 of having to defend

01:26:53.100 the indefensible

01:26:54.440 and all these things

01:26:55.580 that nobody liked to work for.

01:26:57.340 And they're trying to make

01:26:58.300 this lady president

01:26:59.100 of the United States.

01:26:59.600 What a scary proposition.

01:27:00.900 Yeah.

01:27:01.100 Right.

01:27:01.540 It's why Charlie Spearing

01:27:02.500 had his book.

01:27:04.620 Yeah, Charlie Spearing.

01:27:05.340 He's been great.

01:27:06.280 Wait, can I say this?

01:27:08.000 They,

01:27:09.180 now we've learned

01:27:10.100 over the past week

01:27:11.120 that that Lester Holt interview

01:27:12.880 she gave

01:27:13.440 was really jarring for her.

01:27:15.520 She was shaken up

01:27:17.040 by how poorly she did

01:27:18.940 where he's,

01:27:20.360 she's like,

01:27:20.780 we've been to the border

01:27:21.880 and he, to his credit,

01:27:23.020 is like,

01:27:23.260 you've never been to the border

01:27:24.160 and I've never been to Europe.

01:27:26.620 What's your point?

01:27:28.100 And it was disastrous

01:27:29.820 and she had,

01:27:30.900 she got criticized roundly for it.

01:27:32.260 And apparently,

01:27:32.940 according to the reporting,

01:27:33.660 she went underground

01:27:35.420 after that.

01:27:36.000 She was very shaken

01:27:37.020 by how poorly she did

01:27:38.380 and the reaction to her

01:27:39.500 and became obsessed

01:27:41.240 with not repeating that mistake,

01:27:43.300 not giving interviews,

01:27:44.900 was worried about

01:27:45.960 what Fox News

01:27:47.000 might be saying about her,

01:27:49.000 got like,

01:27:49.520 just very like,

01:27:50.620 oh, you know,

01:27:51.780 I,

01:27:52.420 my career requires me

01:27:54.240 to be quiet.

01:27:55.660 And she was relatively quiet

01:27:57.940 after that point.

01:27:58.980 You know,

01:27:59.180 we saw her doing 0.98

01:27:59.900 a couple things

01:28:00.460 that probably seemed

01:28:01.260 like they'd be harmless,

01:28:02.120 like going to the Space Museum

01:28:03.320 and then they weren't

01:28:04.740 because she got dumb

01:28:05.680 and said weird things.

01:28:06.540 But now they've learned

01:28:09.200 their lesson,

01:28:10.160 right?

01:28:10.480 She's out there

01:28:11.220 and she understands

01:28:11.920 she cannot do it

01:28:12.960 and they understand that too.

01:28:14.900 Everyone's running cover

01:28:15.900 and the few times

01:28:17.380 she's spoken out,

01:28:18.160 like that duality remark

01:28:19.140 was the other day.

01:28:20.380 You get a glimpse

01:28:21.560 into the real her,

01:28:23.860 like the,

01:28:24.200 not the curated version

01:28:25.120 we keep getting forced on us

01:28:26.400 by the teleprompter

01:28:27.540 and at these,

01:28:28.840 you know,

01:28:29.340 events like the,

01:28:30.260 the campaign events

01:28:31.140 and I'm sure at the convention

01:28:31.960 on Thursday night.

01:28:33.520 You want to talk about duality?

01:28:35.040 There's your duality

01:28:36.580 right there.

01:28:38.960 That's right.

01:28:39.760 I mean, look,

01:28:40.200 I think the one thing

01:28:41.420 that you can have

01:28:42.280 some confidence in

01:28:43.860 is running for president

01:28:45.240 with the notable exception

01:28:46.160 of 2020

01:28:46.660 when they just kept

01:28:47.380 Joe Biden in the basement

01:28:48.200 and blamed it on a,

01:28:49.000 on COVID

01:28:50.080 is at some point

01:28:53.420 you're going to have

01:28:54.340 a revelation

01:28:54.960 of who this person is,

01:28:56.400 right?

01:28:56.860 Her,

01:28:57.680 she has a confined timeline 0.80

01:28:59.240 for that.

01:28:59.660 Usually that plays out

01:29:00.580 in a primary

01:29:01.620 and the beginnings

01:29:02.580 of a general election.

01:29:03.500 She's trying to do

01:29:04.580 all this in 90 days

01:29:05.920 but I think in 90 days

01:29:07.480 it is impossible

01:29:08.520 to entirely keep that out

01:29:10.160 because that's who she is,

01:29:11.340 Megan.

01:29:11.900 She has no business

01:29:14.140 running for president

01:29:15.100 of the United States.

01:29:16.060 She has no business

01:29:16.680 being in the office

01:29:17.480 that she's currently in.

01:29:18.560 Yeah.

01:29:18.720 Right.

01:29:19.140 Right?

01:29:19.440 And that,

01:29:19.880 that will come out

01:29:21.700 with just any exposure.

01:29:24.500 Right.

01:29:24.900 I think.

01:29:25.500 Right.

01:29:25.720 Some people just aren't

01:29:26.660 cut out for that line of work

01:29:28.120 and that's why

01:29:28.980 she didn't make it to Iowa.

01:29:31.280 She's not Obama. 0.74

01:29:32.360 She thinks like,

01:29:33.460 I can be Obama.

01:29:34.800 I can be just like him.

01:29:35.780 I can be president.

01:29:36.900 Even if she becomes president,

01:29:38.700 she's not Obama. 0.74

01:29:40.160 She's not capable 0.99

01:29:41.080 of doing what he's able to do.

01:29:43.400 She just doesn't have

01:29:44.020 the skill set.

01:29:45.100 I mean,

01:29:45.280 maybe,

01:29:45.720 you know,

01:29:45.980 she could be an attorney 0.96

01:29:47.280 or something in California

01:29:48.520 but like president

01:29:49.900 of the United States

01:29:51.120 from this woman,

01:29:52.500 I just,

01:29:53.000 can you imagine

01:29:53.900 on an international stage

01:29:56.100 the laughing stock

01:29:57.400 our country will be

01:29:58.640 behind her back? 0.57

01:30:00.160 You know that,

01:30:01.380 you know,

01:30:01.680 these world leaders,

01:30:02.960 they have text messages too.

01:30:04.720 They send videos

01:30:05.820 to each other

01:30:06.420 and laugh about it

01:30:07.220 just like everybody else.

01:30:08.660 You know,

01:30:09.080 they send videos of her

01:30:10.300 doing exactly

01:30:11.240 what you showed your audience

01:30:12.400 and they're laughing at her.

01:30:13.900 They'd be laughing at us.

01:30:15.320 Yeah.

01:30:15.620 And we're going to get

01:30:17.220 a lot more just like it

01:30:18.160 if she wins.

01:30:18.880 They're not going to be able

01:30:19.320 to keep her behind

01:30:19.840 closed doors forever.

01:30:20.600 There's just too many moments

01:30:21.440 as president

01:30:21.940 for you to ad lib

01:30:23.100 or go off script

01:30:23.940 and that's what's going to happen

01:30:25.080 if she wins.

01:30:26.080 I mean,

01:30:26.220 it could be fun for us media people

01:30:27.380 but not so much

01:30:28.500 for the country.

01:30:28.960 Stand by the fellas

01:30:30.120 from Ruthless.

01:30:31.280 Stay with us.

01:30:32.720 I'm Megan Kelly,

01:30:33.420 host of the Megan Kelly show

01:30:34.900 on Sirius XM.

01:31:32.880 In his decision

01:31:33.960 over turning Roe v. Wade,

01:31:35.840 as you heard earlier tonight,

01:31:37.960 the United States Supreme Court

01:31:39.340 majority wrote the following,

01:31:41.300 quote,

01:31:43.460 women 1.00

01:31:43.820 are not without

01:31:45.280 electrical,

01:31:46.120 not allowed,

01:31:47.380 not without

01:31:48.200 electoral

01:31:48.780 or political power.

01:31:56.360 No kidding.

01:31:57.360 The Supreme Court

01:32:03.740 took electricity

01:32:04.480 away from you guys?

01:32:06.080 We don't use it.

01:32:07.780 This whole studio

01:32:08.500 is run by candle.

01:32:12.740 They just have a guy

01:32:13.900 on a wheel machine

01:32:15.200 just pedaling

01:32:15.920 in the back.

01:32:16.400 Yeah.

01:32:17.520 What I want to know-

01:32:18.540 It's just a reminder,

01:32:19.740 right?

01:32:20.000 It's a reminder

01:32:20.740 of like-

01:32:22.120 It's a reminder.

01:32:23.320 It's a reminder

01:32:24.140 of how incompetent

01:32:25.480 the people surrounding

01:32:26.440 Joe Biden are as well

01:32:27.640 that you could be

01:32:28.760 his speechwriter

01:32:29.520 at this point

01:32:30.200 in his presidency

01:32:30.900 and not know,

01:32:32.380 just instinctively know

01:32:33.400 when you're writing,

01:32:34.080 all right,

01:32:34.400 electoral,

01:32:35.300 that's-

01:32:35.820 He can't do that word.

01:32:36.780 Too many syllables.

01:32:37.240 He can't do that word.

01:32:38.240 It's totally right.

01:32:39.040 I mean,

01:32:39.160 I've written a lot of speeches

01:32:40.400 for people over the years.

01:32:41.780 Like,

01:32:41.980 you have to have some idea

01:32:43.400 of the capability-

01:32:44.400 Intuitively.

01:32:45.040 Of the person

01:32:45.860 that you're writing for.

01:32:46.880 You know,

01:32:47.000 I mean,

01:32:47.240 if they're not

01:32:47.800 perfectly eloquent,

01:32:49.540 you don't throw like

01:32:50.240 seven syllable words

01:32:51.380 in there back to back

01:32:52.520 and try to figure it out.

01:32:53.420 For him,

01:32:54.140 I guess electoral is-

01:32:55.920 I feel like he stumbled

01:32:56.860 on that one before.

01:32:58.100 I think that's not my first time

01:32:59.400 seeing him stumble on that.

01:33:00.420 And insurrection

01:33:01.000 shouldn't be in there either,

01:33:02.040 FYI.

01:33:03.100 Yeah,

01:33:03.500 right.

01:33:04.160 It's the-

01:33:04.900 Our reaction

01:33:06.980 to that

01:33:08.500 is-

01:33:09.500 was kind of reflected,

01:33:10.560 like,

01:33:10.820 you could kind of feel-

01:33:11.880 I tweeted this out last night

01:33:13.200 and I stand by it.

01:33:14.540 When Joe Biden sat down,

01:33:15.760 I was like,

01:33:16.340 that was it?

01:33:18.340 That was-

01:33:18.840 Yeah.

01:33:19.700 That's what he got

01:33:20.500 in exchange for giving up

01:33:21.620 a presidential nomination.

01:33:22.540 It was like,

01:33:23.840 yay,

01:33:25.360 Joe.

01:33:26.640 But it wasn't really

01:33:27.900 that great.

01:33:29.560 Like,

01:33:29.860 the reception I'm talking about

01:33:31.160 by the audience,

01:33:31.980 I didn't feel the love.

01:33:33.360 Like,

01:33:33.780 I didn't feel like they hated him.

01:33:34.800 I wasn't like,

01:33:35.380 oh,

01:33:35.540 no one's clapping.

01:33:36.600 But I just kind of expected more.

01:33:38.740 I thought we'd see tons

01:33:39.600 of people crying.

01:33:42.160 There was a thought

01:33:43.140 with Chris Coons

01:33:43.860 before he

01:33:44.840 took the stage,

01:33:46.340 Biden.

01:33:46.580 And this kind of

01:33:48.200 is representative

01:33:48.800 of how I felt

01:33:50.640 watching the audience

01:33:51.440 all night.

01:33:51.900 Watch this.

01:33:52.300 It's out of love.

01:33:53.020 On behalf of our

01:33:54.420 Democratic Party,

01:33:56.120 for your loyalty

01:33:57.760 in fighting

01:33:58.520 for our

01:33:59.280 Democratic values,

01:34:00.840 we thank you.

01:34:07.340 And on behalf

01:34:08.400 of Delaware,

01:34:09.720 thank you,

01:34:10.440 Joe,

01:34:10.740 and God bless you.

01:34:12.200 We love you.

01:34:14.120 We love

01:34:15.200 Joe.

01:34:17.480 We love Joe.

01:34:20.620 We love Joe.

01:34:23.300 We love Joe.

01:34:29.260 It's just so forced.

01:34:31.040 With a woman 1.00

01:34:31.500 doing the side-eye

01:34:32.420 right at the end.

01:34:33.220 Yes.

01:34:33.500 Come on,

01:34:34.240 it's even too much for me.

01:34:35.880 Yeah,

01:34:36.160 it was a retirement party.

01:34:38.380 I mean,

01:34:38.560 they did everything

01:34:39.240 short of

01:34:39.760 handing them

01:34:40.060 the gold watch.

01:34:41.440 You know?

01:34:41.980 Yes.

01:34:42.380 I was thinking this

01:34:43.600 when I was watching it.

01:34:44.220 The exact same thing

01:34:45.000 that you're bringing up,

01:34:45.920 Megan,

01:34:46.440 is this was supposed

01:34:47.860 to be like,

01:34:48.600 you know,

01:34:48.880 some like reverent moment

01:34:50.420 and like capstoning

01:34:52.240 this remarkable

01:34:53.340 political career

01:34:54.580 and expressing gratitude.

01:34:56.020 But again,

01:34:56.560 like Holmes Ratchett,

01:34:57.160 the cynicism just

01:34:58.160 seeped through

01:34:59.700 all of it

01:35:00.320 where it seems so fake.

01:35:01.140 I thought when I was

01:35:02.300 watching that

01:35:02.740 of the moment

01:35:03.320 when George H.W. Bush

01:35:05.360 passed away

01:35:06.200 and then you saw

01:35:06.940 Bob Dole was brought in

01:35:08.500 to the rotunda

01:35:09.360 where George H.W. Bush

01:35:10.660 was in waiting

01:35:11.200 and he had an aide

01:35:12.300 lift him 0.90

01:35:12.760 so that he could salute him

01:35:13.780 and you had

01:35:14.580 more reverence

01:35:15.700 shown by one person

01:35:16.940 than a room of

01:35:17.620 10,000 people

01:35:18.700 were capable of

01:35:19.560 because that was just

01:35:20.620 fake.

01:35:22.080 It was just fake.

01:35:23.460 Yeah.

01:35:23.660 They just don't care.

01:35:24.980 Right?

01:35:25.400 I mean,

01:35:25.700 it's on to the next.

01:35:27.660 It really is.

01:35:28.280 It's all a game to them.

01:35:29.800 It's on to the next.

01:35:30.840 And as an aside,

01:35:33.460 wouldn't you have loved

01:35:34.440 to be a fly on the wall

01:35:35.680 when someone came in

01:35:37.500 and had to brief

01:35:38.300 the sitting president

01:35:39.400 of the United States

01:35:40.060 of his speaking slot?

01:35:42.080 I mean,

01:35:43.000 when Richard Ben Kramer

01:35:45.180 profiled Joe Biden

01:35:46.520 in the 1988 race

01:35:49.320 and what it takes.

01:35:50.560 It's a great book.

01:35:51.440 I love it.

01:35:51.920 I recommend it to Smug

01:35:52.960 and now he recommends

01:35:53.620 it to everybody else.

01:35:55.900 I just don't think

01:35:57.780 that he could have

01:35:58.900 imagined that Biden's

01:36:00.220 career would end

01:36:01.100 on a Monday night

01:36:02.100 after 1130 p.m.

01:36:03.660 Yeah.

01:36:04.180 Oh, God, that is true.

01:36:05.200 I just I just don't

01:36:06.520 I don't think you could

01:36:07.360 have ever 50 years

01:36:08.280 in politics

01:36:08.880 and that's what he gets.

01:36:10.560 He did it to himself.

01:36:12.020 He really did it to himself.

01:36:12.980 He couldn't even really

01:36:13.160 get the chant going.

01:36:15.060 You can't like,

01:36:15.620 I know we love Joe

01:36:17.460 with the eye roll.

01:36:19.120 It was so telling,

01:36:20.680 although not to the people

01:36:22.060 on MSNBC who

01:36:23.280 took to close the show

01:36:24.840 as we began it

01:36:25.600 with the fakeness

01:36:26.920 of what we witnessed

01:36:27.840 last night,

01:36:29.040 you know,

01:36:29.480 it gavel to gavel.

01:36:31.120 Here's Rachel Maddow.

01:36:33.220 I just feel like

01:36:34.480 in America,

01:36:35.260 in my 51 years

01:36:36.820 of American life,

01:36:37.780 I don't know

01:36:39.460 of another

01:36:40.360 big,

01:36:42.260 civic,

01:36:43.720 earnest,

01:36:45.060 heartfelt,

01:36:45.840 emotional expression

01:36:46.840 of thanks.

01:36:48.200 You know,

01:36:48.880 that we congratulate

01:36:49.780 one another.

01:36:50.580 We have parades

01:36:51.620 for heroes

01:36:52.240 and we celebrate

01:36:53.460 people's victories.

01:36:54.280 But to celebration

01:36:55.420 of thanks

01:36:57.400 and,

01:36:58.640 you know,

01:36:59.220 we appreciate

01:37:00.540 and love you

01:37:01.300 for your civic virtue

01:37:02.540 and for what you've done

01:37:03.600 to our country.

01:37:04.500 I mean,

01:37:04.880 since we've had,

01:37:06.300 since we have had

01:37:07.860 parades welcoming home

01:37:10.300 people who have fought

01:37:11.460 in war

01:37:12.060 and it has been

01:37:13.260 generations

01:37:13.980 since we have done that,

01:37:15.180 I don't know

01:37:15.600 anything else like that.

01:37:17.160 Oh my God,

01:37:18.280 you guys.

01:37:18.780 I don't even know

01:37:19.880 where to be.

01:37:20.060 You know,

01:37:20.340 they still have those parades.

01:37:21.720 You just don't show up.

01:37:22.720 No,

01:37:22.880 she shows up.

01:37:23.500 She's just holding

01:37:24.040 a picket sun.

01:37:24.980 Yeah.

01:37:25.860 Yeah.

01:37:27.220 I mean,

01:37:28.000 it's just not watching it,

01:37:30.500 right?

01:37:30.840 I mean,

01:37:31.140 that's,

01:37:31.620 it's this narrative building

01:37:32.660 that happens

01:37:33.260 in the left,

01:37:34.240 on the left,

01:37:34.960 in their media apparatchik

01:37:36.540 that is a narrative building

01:37:38.520 about what you're seeing

01:37:40.620 that you didn't actually see.

01:37:42.960 Totally.

01:37:43.480 Yeah.

01:37:44.100 Right?

01:37:44.500 And it's even more jarring

01:37:46.620 if you were,

01:37:47.720 you know,

01:37:48.060 one of the few

01:37:48.940 that actually had to sit

01:37:50.040 through the entire 45 minutes

01:37:51.620 to get to the end of that

01:37:52.480 and being like,

01:37:53.500 well,

01:37:53.740 what you've seen here

01:37:54.720 is just an outpouring

01:37:55.820 of love and support,

01:37:57.000 which is not what it was,

01:37:58.260 right?

01:37:58.600 It just,

01:37:59.100 just wasn't.

01:38:00.240 No,

01:38:00.400 it's,

01:38:00.640 it's improv fiction.

01:38:02.280 Most people watch improv comedy.

01:38:04.080 Democrats every single day

01:38:05.620 do improv fiction

01:38:06.640 and some of them

01:38:07.760 do it better than others.

01:38:09.800 It's the opposite

01:38:10.640 of what they normally do,

01:38:11.840 which is when we see a man,

01:38:13.660 they tell us it's a woman 0.81

01:38:14.720 and we should ignore our eyes.

01:38:16.240 And now we have them

01:38:18.120 doing the opposite.

01:38:19.500 We,

01:38:19.780 we see a lack of enthusiasm

01:38:21.040 and they tell us

01:38:21.740 we saw enthusiasm.

01:38:23.580 I've got to end on this one.

01:38:25.300 You speak of Rachel Maddow.

01:38:26.880 She's normally at the protest

01:38:27.900 with a placard.

01:38:28.840 Could be,

01:38:29.460 she shouldn't try that

01:38:30.360 in Chicago

01:38:31.140 because look what happened

01:38:32.520 to this guy.

01:38:33.160 Oh,

01:38:33.920 they're treating Joe Biden

01:38:59.960 like this.

01:39:02.380 This is supposed to be

01:39:03.460 retirement party.

01:39:06.820 This is another

01:39:07.940 well-raising young man

01:39:09.380 out for civic duty.

01:39:11.820 The final indignity.
