On this episode of The Stone Zone, Roger Stone and Troy Smith discuss the impact of the Democratic Debates Debates, including the first primary debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and how it changed the trajectory of the 2020 presidential race. They also discuss how the Democratic Party elite and their handmaidens in the mainstream media are coordinating their attacks on Trump, and why they need to replace Joe Biden as their next nominee.

00:09:34.320That noise is construction in the building or near the studio, something we cannot do much about.
00:09:39.160So I ask our listeners to just bear with us.
00:09:42.560Well, and Roger, there was a moment in last night's debate that I wanted to ask you on,
00:09:47.300because we've talked about this on the show over and over again.
00:09:50.740If the Democrats had their way, this election would be about abortion.
00:09:54.420And in a lot of the key swing states, the Democrats have put abortion on the ballot,
00:09:58.600I think, in an all-in attempt to try to win this election.
00:10:01.740They know if they make it about abortion, if they lie to people and they tell them,
00:10:06.540as Joe Biden did last night repeatedly, that Roe v. Wade somehow, the end of Roe v. Wade means the illegalization of abortion across the country.
00:10:16.740I mean, abortion is as legal as it's ever been in states like New York, in states like Virginia, in states like California.
00:10:23.420All over the country, abortion is more readily accessible in blue states than it's ever been in its history.
00:10:29.860And yet Joe Biden and the Democrats want to force, basically, and lie to their voters into thinking that if they do not go to the ballot box and vote for Democrats,
00:10:38.300that their right to an abortion will be somehow taken away.
00:10:41.140So I saw last night a general hysteria on the left, to the point where a woman who attacked you, Lauren Windsor, was tweeting about it.
00:10:51.600Mainstream media figures were tweeting about it.
00:10:53.820CNN had an entire segment on it afterwards.
00:10:56.660And that is successfully combating the issue of abortion, which I thought President Trump did for the first time in years last night.
00:11:05.940We've seen for years, Roger, abortion be really a Democrat offensive issue.
00:11:11.140They attack Republicans over abortion.
00:11:13.360And last night, President Trump was able to turn the tables on President Joe Biden and the Democrats as it pertains to abortion and to call them the radicals.
00:11:23.020And to specifically talk about post-birth abortion that's been legalized through these radical bills pushed by Democrats in Virginia and New York.
00:11:32.420And I wanted to get your thoughts on that, because that was the first time I've seen Republicans successfully counter the Democrat abortion argument in some time.
00:13:58.960Joe Biden said Donald Trump wants to cut your Social Security, wants to extend the age before you can receive your Social Security benefits, that he wants to cut your Social Security based on means testing.
00:14:13.360He didn't use those words, but he said it just because—and then he pointed, as I said he would, to this small group of House Republicans who put forward those reforms.
00:14:23.300Trump, throughout his career and throughout this campaign, has made it absolutely clear again and again that he will never sign any cuts in either the Social Security program or in Medicare.
00:14:37.660But again, the scare tactics used by the Biden campaign.
00:14:42.300Trump campaign actually has a great Social Security spot on this.
00:14:49.060Well, and Roger, there was, you know, the debate itself, you know, that was, I think, in all—every sense of the word, you know, a beatdown.
00:14:57.200President Trump really beat him down, but he did—he did it tactfully.
00:15:01.520I didn't see one time him go really on the full offensive against Biden's health.
00:15:06.740And I heard him talk today in Virginia, and we're going to talk a little bit about what's happened after the debate.
00:15:12.300He's talked in Virginia today about not attacking President Biden for his decline, because obviously it's a sad thing, but to attack the effect of that decline.
00:15:22.640And the effect of that decline is the decline of our nation and people being taxed more, people being less safe, people having worse lives because our president is having this problem.
00:15:34.200And I don't think anything exemplified this better, Roger, than when Jill Biden rushed to the stage.
00:15:42.380And I did notice, by the way, after CNN ended the debate, it was a very abrupt ending that seemed to not really honor the stakes or the moment that we were in.
00:17:21.360And the facial expressions that he was making during the time that Trump was speaking or when he was just kind of waiting for the next question were almost comic.
00:17:33.820You can see why the Democrats, particularly those who have been in close quarters with him, those who have seen him up close, really think that he can't get through a general election, something I agree with.
00:17:46.200Well, and Roger, if you, you know, I don't know if you saw him before, but I think there was a mistake made by the Biden campaign.
00:17:56.360He kind of went to this random street and there were some people there cheering him on and he took pictures with them.
00:18:02.640And I remember watching that earlier in the day and saying, oh, this is a big mistake because being somebody who has watched literally every event that President Joe Biden has done since he got into the Oval Office, because it's my job.
00:18:14.800I know he does a speech, he rarely, I mean, we're talking maybe once every year, we'll do two speeches in one day.
00:18:23.080He basically never does two events in one day.
00:18:25.680And if you see him in a concentrated spot, the times where he is most intelligible is when he's gone for a day, speaks for maybe 15 minutes, then wanders off again and usually disappears for another couple days.
00:18:38.300He looked exhausted last night, and I think that was a result of them taking him around during the day.
00:18:45.660I mean, he's obviously got a battery life on himself that's very short and he runs out of energy really quick.
00:18:52.220Not only that, Roger, but you're right about his voice.
00:18:55.160And I talked to some physicians who said, you know, that sounds like he had some kind of tubing in his throat.
00:19:01.420You know, there is a common thing that happens when people undergo serious surgery, where they actually take the anesthesia tube out of your throat and it will clip your vocal cords and it will leave your voice sounding like that.
00:19:14.740So I think that, you know, there's legitimate concern.
00:19:16.800We didn't see this guy for a week before the debate.
00:19:32.760And you could see last night, he looked like he'd gained at least 10, 15 pounds since we've seen him last time.
00:19:38.600So my question is, what was going on at Camp David?
00:19:42.220We need to figure out what's going on there.
00:19:44.660And as far as, you know, the fallout from this debate, Roger, there's another clip I want to get your thoughts on because this is just, this one's making the rounds today and it's unbelievable.
00:19:52.360After this debate, Joe Biden took Joe by the hand to a watch party where she kind of talked to him like a toddler afterwards and said, you did such a good job, Joe, and all this.
00:20:04.480I want to play you this clip and get your thoughts on this.
00:20:07.020Is Joe Biden the worst wife in America?
00:20:43.600And by the way, Joe is standing there grinning like an idiot.
00:20:47.380I mean, racial expression is there's no one home.
00:20:51.640Like I said yesterday, I originally feared that given Jake Tapper's past, given Dana Bash's past, and of course Biden, that it would be three on one.
00:21:02.340But then I revised that and said, well, no, actually it would be two and a half on one because, well, Joe Biden was not really there.
00:21:08.940There's a lot of implications here, Troy, and then I think that's something we ought to talk about.
00:21:15.240There is obviously now when Politico puts up a headline that says Biden is toast, that's a direct quote.
00:21:23.920When the New York Times has four or five articles saying that Biden must be replaced, then the establishment media has spoken.
00:21:32.480Now, as I've said on this show, I expect Biden and Jill Biden, President Biden and Jill Biden to resist.
00:21:43.420Joe certainly doesn't want to lose the legal authority to pardon his son, his brother, other members of the Biden crime family, perhaps even himself.
00:21:54.120So I think there's great internecine warfare going on inside the Democratic Party.
00:22:01.740But the lockstep with which all of these left of center organs immediately said Joe must go tells you there's more afoot.
00:22:10.860Now, this won't be as easy as some might think.
00:22:14.220I have predicted for over three years that Biden would be replaced by Michelle Obama.
00:22:24.920I see a lot of people have adapted it.
00:22:27.020It's funny, when I said it in the beginning, people told me that I was crazy or that it was just clickbait or Roger Stone.
00:22:35.200And now I see Ted Cruz was tweeting it last night, just to give you an example.
00:22:41.020But it's too late to get Joe Biden's name off the ballot in Wisconsin.
00:22:46.060It's too late to get his name off the ballot in Nevada, both swing states.
00:22:51.060Very, very soon it will be too late to get his name off of Georgia, the ballot in Georgia.
00:22:57.500Seventy four days before the election, it will be too late to get his name off the ballot in Texas, a place where the Democrats think they are competitive.
00:23:42.180But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself.
00:23:50.460Between someone who tells the truth, who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight, and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit.
00:23:59.060Last night didn't change that, and it's why so much is at stake in November.
00:24:03.520And then he posts the link to JoeBiden.com.
00:24:05.600Roger, your thoughts on that statement from Barack Obama?
00:24:10.120I think it's Biden, pardon me, Obama providing cover for what I suspect he's trying to do backstage, which is get Joe Biden to throw in the towel and announce that he won't run again, and then work out a ticket.
00:24:31.680I still believe that she will believe that if they're not nominating Joe, they should certainly be nominating her.
00:24:37.740Then you have Hilda Beast, Hillary Clinton.
00:24:41.100She's got a new book with a heavily airbrushed Photoshop photo on the cover.
00:24:47.720Look, she doesn't look at anything even remotely like that.
00:24:50.380That was Hillary Clinton minus 30 pounds.
00:24:54.060And, you know, she's clearly trying to get back into the act.
00:24:57.800Actually, I've just gotten word that Tyler Nixon, who is a longtime friend of mine, who served me as one of my personal attorneys, but a political activist and a shrewd political analyst in his own right, is going to join us right here in the zone.
00:25:21.100If you hail from Delaware, you are very familiar with the Biden crime family.
00:25:25.920You have tracked their exploits longer than anyone I know.
00:25:30.160I know you were disappointed that Joe didn't threaten to take Donald Trump out behind the studio and give him a thrashing, as he's done in every state he's ever been in.
00:26:06.860And I find it absolutely beyond rich for Barack Obama, Barack Hussein Obama, and Joe Biden to even call anyone a liar.
00:26:16.060I mean, Barack Obama is one of the biggest BS artists ever to disgrace the national stage.
00:26:22.780And Joe Biden has been a liar his entire life from the moment.
00:26:27.160I mean, everything, his whole life has been a lie.
00:26:30.240I mean, he basically plagiarized his way through law school.
00:26:34.580He plagiarized his life story, giving speeches using not just, you know, the words of Neil Kinnick, but Neil Kinnick, the British Party labor leader's life story and adopting it his own.
00:26:46.040And how his ancestors came up from the coal mines of Pennsylvania and played football, you know, and, I mean, and, you know, stole Robert Kennedy's words without attribution, drove him out of the race.
00:26:57.180Biden has always been the biggest BS artist everybody knows back in Delaware that he will tell whatever audience, whatever they need to hear, whatever he thinks they need to hear in order to accommodate them for him to call Donald Trump a liar.
00:27:09.700And then as he is at the same time, I mean, the lie that I'm just surprised that President Trump, I guess nobody thought to play him back his words in the wake of Charlottesville when he actually said, except for the neo-Nazis and the racists who should be condemned.
00:27:26.620And, I mean, specifically, and it wasn't a matter of that he was alluding to, you know, they're good on both sides.
00:27:33.000No, he specifically excluded the very people that Joe Biden then launched his campaign accusing Donald Trump of saying are fine people.
00:27:40.120And I don't remember seeing any swastikas, you know, coming out of the woods of Charlottesville.
00:27:44.680I mean, Biden's campaign, as he launched it based on this Charlottesville story, it's based on a monstrous lie, just like his entire life.
00:27:57.560I have no sympathy whatsoever for his mental breakdown, his mental degeneration, because, you know, frankly, he deserves it.
00:28:06.020I mean, he, if anybody deserves to become a blithering mess on the national stage and have their presidency fall apart, it is Joe Biden.
00:28:13.860He did not have a legitimate, I don't believe he was legitimately elected.
00:28:17.620And I think he has been a monstrous demagogue, even in his dementia the whole time.
00:28:22.420He has empowered some of the worst sorts of people in this country, the most radical, abusive, the lawfare.
00:28:29.320I mean, for Donald Trump to stand there and be called a convicted felon by this criminal, and thank God he did call Joe a criminal, and I'm so glad he got that in.
00:28:40.000But, you know, he accused him of, what, having sex with a porn star while his wife, you know, was pregnant.
00:28:46.500I mean, Joe really went low, and Donald Trump took it with aplomb.
00:28:52.760And I have to say, his discipline was beyond remarkable, and he is truly, has nerves of steel.
00:29:00.040He is the leader for this country, and, you know, I'm just, I'm proud to know you, Roger, for being the first man in that gave us President Trump and, God willing, will give us President Trump again this November.
00:29:13.680Yeah, that, I thought that was the low point of the debate, when he said, well, you know, you had, you had an affair with a porn star.
00:29:22.000Joe, you had an affair with a babysitter, and everyone in Delaware knows it.
00:29:26.900I mean, it's, this guy, he really, he leads with his chin all the time.
00:29:32.860The reason that he ran had nothing to do with Charlottesville.
00:29:35.500He ran for financial reasons, so he and his family could continue to grift.
00:29:40.260Let's go through the numbers, if we may.
00:29:41.820These are confirmed bank records, folks.
00:29:46.500The Biden Inc. took 3.9 million from Ukraine, 7.2 million from China, 3.5 million from Russia, 1.4 million from Romania, 1.4 million from Panama, 1.1 million from Kazakhstan, Mexico, and Syria.
00:30:03.900But Joe told us in the last debate, he looked right into the camera and he said, nobody in my family has taken a penny from any foreign country.
00:30:14.120Obviously, you can tell their messaging, the polling must show that continuing to call Trump a liar must work for moving Democrats or holding Democrats because it is the common thing today.
00:30:27.900So, as I said before he came on, Joe may be delusional, Joe may be unable to walk, Joe may think he's on another planet, but at least he tells the truth.
00:30:39.240At the same time, he told lie after lie after lie last night.
00:30:46.220And, you know, the fact is that in the last debate, he told – he said, you know, you're not the one – my family has earned nothing from China.
00:30:54.760You're the one making money from China.
00:30:56.120He accused, you know, President Trump of taking money from China on the basis of no evidence whatsoever when it was demonstrably true that, you know, Joe Biden was influenced peddling through Hunter with the communist Chinese and taking probably the biggest payoffs from them with, you know, concerning – with the energy company.
00:31:14.200And, you know, it's astonishing to me that – I mean, it's the brazenness of it, I guess, for Barack Obama especially, who is, like I said, the biggest BS artist, flim-flam artist, bamboozler, probably to disgrace the national stage since Bill Clinton.
00:31:31.180And for him to call Donald Trump a liar, if they think they're going to get away with this, and if they think people – I mean, people see President Trump.
00:31:39.660He's been a public figure for over 40 years.
00:31:42.560I mean, he was a national – I mean, you – I was watching Lethal Weapon 2, which is a, you know, a 1989 movie, and at the finale scene, they have a big – they're inside a connex, one of these, you know, shipping containers filled with cash.
00:31:58.460And Danny Glover says, this is Donald Trump lottery stuff.
00:32:01.980So, I mean, this man was an international celebrity when Joe Biden was just a, you know, a second, third-rate senator from what's, you know, become a corrupt backwater, and Barack Obama was, you know, mucking around who knows where with the Kenan communists.
00:32:17.180And, you know, people know who Donald Trump is.
00:32:20.920He's a magnanimous and a generous man.
00:32:23.540And his – and frankly, his record speaks for itself.
00:32:26.040And they can throw anything at him at this.
00:32:28.460He has taken – I mean, what he's endured in the lawfare is almost – I mean, he should be canonized for it because he has just stood up and he's done it, as he said.
00:32:40.800The greatest point he made was, I'm doing this because I wish Joe was a good president.
00:32:45.560I'm doing this for the American people, for our country.
00:32:47.720And I think that is as earnest – you know, there's no lying in that.
00:33:00.220Like you said, to stay one step out of prison, frankly, to cover up for his son and all the grifting.
00:33:06.000I think when Hillary sort of pushed Joe aside as the sitting vice president and decided she was going to run, it was her turn.
00:33:13.720He figured that was the end of it for him and decided that he was going to – you know, he was going to go off and just – they started grabbing as much as they could and raking in all the cash they could.
00:33:23.520I mean, they went on a real – a literal crime spree when Bo died around May of 2015 in the last year of Biden's vice presidency.
00:33:34.720And, of course, you know, when Trump won, you know, shockwaves threw everywhere, and Biden saw that he had an opportunity, and, of course, he couldn't resist.
00:33:42.660So he went and got two years' worth of plastic surgery, and even though his brain was degenerating at the time, he had just ended up being the – you know, the – like the whore in the old building that eventually becomes respectable in the Democrat Party, which was full of pygmy clowns nipping at each other.
00:33:59.640And he was just sort of the oldest and most distinguished of the clowns and ended up – obviously, they were going to steal it for whoever was in that position, and here he is.
00:34:09.500And, you know, his presidency has been a total disaster, and I think this country – Donald Trump is – they – I think we will have a landslide, a large enough landslide, a wave that they cannot – it's too big for them to cheat, too big for them to steal.
00:34:25.860And, God willing, we will see Biden fade into the dustbin of history where he belongs.
00:34:33.260Troy, do you have a question for Tyler Nixon, our in-house Biden expert?
00:34:39.500Absolutely. And I want you to grab this one, too, afterwards, you know, Roger, because, you know, you both have seen President Trump for such a long time grow from this person that was considering running – and, Roger, you particularly in the 80s – to what he's become now.
00:34:54.940And my question is, you know, what do you think about the evolution of Trump?
00:34:58.860I mean, that really – Tyler, we'll go to you first – that really was a different man than we saw in the first, say, 2016 presidential debate.
00:35:07.380I felt he was much more appealing not just to Republicans but to all Americans.
00:35:13.500I mean, he really set aside politics last night and really cemented himself, I think, as the American leader.
00:35:20.960No question. I mean, he is the great American leader of this century, and he demonstrated that last night.
00:35:29.260And I thought to myself, you know, this man's steel has been tempered through fire.
00:35:33.460Joe Biden has never been challenged on anything in his life, frankly.
00:35:36.860You know, and when he was, he was just – he would always get, oh, my Irish temper.
00:35:41.700He would make petty juvenile remarks about taking the guy – someone out back, you know, and beating them up.
00:35:47.480I mean, literally threatening physical violence against the person.
00:35:51.420President Trump is a class act through and through, and he literally in this debate – they thought they were going to hamstring him in.
00:36:00.000They thought they were going to have him – Joe Biden called him a whiner numerous times, and they thought that would get under his skin.
00:36:06.540And he just grinned and didn't say a word in response.
00:36:10.960And President Trump, I mean, he rose – he literally – we watched the ascension to historic history as a leader, as a candidate, as a president.
00:36:25.140And I think – and I believe that when he gets reelected in November, his term will be one of the golden periods of American politics, and we will see great progress, and we will see really serious reforms and rolling back of this criminal, deep state combine, this sprawling network of, you know, lawfare apparatchiks and that ilk.
00:36:51.160And we will see that finally – finally, I think we'll make progress on it, because President Trump means business this time.
00:36:57.380I think he was a little naive about it coming in the first term, not this time.
00:37:02.520You know, Tyler, one thing I always find kind of entertaining, and that's this zealot-like quality, which if Joe Biden is speaking to a group of folks, let's say the Puerto Ricans, suddenly he will tell you that he grew up as a Puerto Rican.
00:37:17.780Or he's speaking to a group of Jews, he will tell you, I grew up in the synagogues of Wilmington.
00:37:23.740There's no evidence of him ever visiting a synagogue in Wilmington.
00:37:28.120He's speaking to a group of truck drivers.
00:37:51.600That must also test well in their polling, because it's so false on the face of it.
00:37:58.240What this guy's gone through, I mean, he's lost billions of dollars of his personal wealth.
00:38:03.260He's had to sit in a drafty courtroom facing totally fabricated charges against him.
00:38:09.600He's had to spend millions of dollars for lawyers.
00:38:12.340The death threats, what we don't hear about, have to be extraordinary, given that's churned up against him.
00:38:24.100I mean, it's really amazing that they stick to those phony talking points.
00:38:29.480They keep coming back to those phony talking points.
00:38:32.640Troy, do we have another video here that we need to look at?
00:38:35.460Yes, I wanted to ask you, Roger, particularly about this Kamala Harris interview.
00:38:40.500This was brought up by Jen Psaki, who said something that I thought was pretty interesting.
00:38:44.840She was questioning the Kamala Harris interview because Kamala Harris did give an interview on CNN directly after this debate.
00:38:52.200And she pointed out, she said, well, you wouldn't have done this if you won the debate.
00:38:56.140And to me, this looked like another instance of her, maybe Kamala Harris in this instance, scrambling as we see Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and others scrambling to try to seize this opportunity that Biden, his really absence, is leaving.
00:39:12.820So let's roll this clip from the interview where she kind of throws Biden directly under the bus and get Roger's thoughts.
00:39:19.100Was this a sneak attack by Kamala Harris to try to seize this opportunity?
00:40:39.100But this was a debate that your campaign wanted.
00:40:42.460You pushed for this debate at this moment.
00:40:45.500Obviously, I mean, you can't honestly say, I mean, can you say that you are not concerned at all having watched the president's performance tonight?
00:41:20.160We have seen the videos of police officers ushering people into the Capitol.
00:41:24.940We have seen Trump specifically say that those who are neo-Nazis and fascists and extremists were to be condemned.
00:41:35.300This is the woman who, by the way, made jokes about listening to Biggie and Tupac while she was smoking dope in college when Biggie and Tupac weren't even making records.
00:41:47.060They hadn't even been heard of nationally when she was in college.
00:41:52.200I mean, talk about somebody who has a more than casual relationship with the truth.
00:41:59.560All right, we're going to have to go to a quick commercial break here, and we'll be right back with Troy Smith and Tyler Nixon to continue to talk about this history-making debate.
00:42:15.360I mean, pandemic relief is now over, and with them in the IRS hiring thousands of new agents and opening new field offices, the IRS has really kicked off 2024 by sending over $5 million pay-up letters to those who have unfulfilled tax returns or balances owed.
00:42:35.920So don't waive your rights and speak with them on your own.

00:43:33.120If you have tax issues, I think they can be enormously helpful to you.
00:43:37.520All right, let's go back to our regularly scheduled program.
00:43:40.520I'm here with Troy Smith, editor-in-chief of Slingshot.news, and my longtime personal attorney and political activist and shrewd political analyst, particularly when it comes to the Delaware and the Biden family, my old friend Tyler Nixon.
00:43:58.300Tyler, we're glad to have you in the space.
00:44:01.460Now, Tyler, you were very active in Ronald Reagan's campaign.
00:44:04.480I think that's when I met you, 1984, when he was running for re-election.
00:44:08.700And that debate was a seminal point in a major turn in American politics.
00:44:15.500Remember, they were saying, well, Reagan, he's a right-wing cowboy movie actor.
00:44:36.720Well, you know, if you remember, in 1984, Reagan famously just blew away the age issue, which Fritz Mondale was trying to bring up when he said, you know, he sort of alluded to Reagan's age.
00:45:18.240And, you know, I think Joe Biden did the opposite of what Reagan did in 84 and proved that age is – it's not even age, his mental state is completely just – I mean, it was disturbing to watch this man who has his finger on the nuclear button.
00:45:33.860And you realize the barrage, the torrent, the tsunami of lies and defamation that has been thrown at Donald Trump.
00:45:42.000Just when he stands next to Joe Biden, you realize what a lying piece of crap Joe Biden is, frankly, and all of the people around him, what complete BS artists.
00:45:51.980I mean, and, you know, it makes sense.
00:45:53.520I mean, he was the third-term puppet, sort of the demented puppet of Barack Obama.
00:45:58.940Like I said, he was the biggest snake oil peddler in American politics probably in a century.
00:46:04.580I mean, he really gives Bill Clinton a run for his money.
00:46:07.220I don't put him on the same level of evil as the Clintons.
00:46:11.020Hillary Clinton, boy, she is – I mean, you know, Donald Trump should have statues built to him and, frankly, should be remembered in history for eternity just for having defeated that hag and stopping her from her empire of evil that she had planned.
00:46:26.320I mean, and he really paid the price for it.
00:46:28.700I mean, boy, did they – I mean, you want to talk about tying up his presidency and beleaguering him for four years, but, you know, he has learned.
00:46:38.460I mean, and if anything, I think the four-year gap in his presidency, you know, with what I believe will be his two terms, has given him the ability to sort of gather strength and take stock in a way that a consecutive two-term president would not have, which I think will make his second term very, very potent.
00:46:59.040And it probably, like I said, one of the great golden ages of reform and change and returning government to the people in American history.
00:47:10.780Troy, what else do you have for us here on the video front?
00:47:14.420Well, Roger, real quickly, you know, I found it interesting, the response today, and I want to get your thoughts specifically on this.
00:47:22.840Your thoughts on the idea – so President Biden and Jill Biden traveled to North Carolina today, where Republicans typically do pretty well.
00:47:31.360I found that kind of shocking, and we have a video real quick that I'll play of Biden's appearance in North Carolina.
00:47:38.640Important to note, it wasn't Biden that came out and opened the speech.
00:47:41.760It was Jill Biden, and Jill Biden was wearing a dress that I think – I can't wait to get Roger's comments on this and Tyler Nixon as well.
00:47:49.140So let's roll that clip of Jill Biden in the strange dress in North Carolina and get Roger's thoughts on that.
00:47:54.160I saw in him then the same character that I see in him today.
00:48:00.060And even though he has faced unimaginable tragedies, his optimism is undaunted.
00:48:42.500I don't know whether she makes her dresses out of kitchen curtains or old tablecloths, but, man, some of these outfits she comes up with.
00:48:51.420And I think you're going to see her taking an increasingly active role because Joe, I don't think, can speak any more coherently, more than a few sentences.
00:48:59.440So my guess is that Kamala and Jill are working together to keep Joe in place because that's in their best interest in the short term.
00:50:24.360He was sharp in terms of, I mean, he could brief himself up and BS with the best of them.
00:50:29.560And, I mean, it is like this man has aged, he hasn't aged 15 or 20 years.
00:50:34.180He's aged like 150 years since becoming vice president.
00:50:38.660And I almost feel like it's like the evil that he's been part of and the unleashing of his just most corroded, degenerate character traits have literally, you know, just as like the work of, the works of evil that age you and it shows it's written on your face.
00:50:56.160And he just looks so horrible that I really, I really think it's like karma.
00:51:00.300You know, it's like you can't mask on the outer shell the really, the degeneracy of his soul, if he even has one at this point.
00:51:10.240Well, and Tyler, I wanted to get your thoughts and Roger's thoughts, too, on one more thing that's coming up here news-wise.
00:51:17.160And that is particularly the fact that, and Roger, interesting, I want to hear your thoughts on this particularly.
00:51:23.320President Trump went right to Virginia.
00:51:25.460We talked about President Biden heading to North Carolina.
00:51:28.160I think that's kind of an inverse of how people would see it.
00:51:30.560They would see, oh, well, Joe Biden will do better in Virginia.
00:51:33.300President Trump would do better in North Carolina.
00:51:35.140Now, President Trump, what do you think are the odds of him carrying Virginia?
00:51:46.500Now, it's kind of interesting because Virginia was, at one point, before it was part of the solid South in a heavily Democratic state, dominated by the bird machine.
00:51:58.020It became, through the 70s and 80s, it leaned Republican.
00:52:02.280Republicans carried it in presidential contests fairly easily.
00:52:06.740What's happened, however, is two phenomena.
00:52:10.420The suburbs of Richmond, specifically Chesterfield and Henrico County, which were once Republican strongholds, have gradually moved left.
00:52:21.600And then the northern Virginia suburbs, where many federal government workers live, where we used to basically split the vote, or the Democrats would win narrowly.
00:52:36.860And we would win in what they used to call the Fighting Ninth, the most mountainous part, you know, over by the Shenandoah Valley and beyond.
00:52:47.560These population changes in the northern Virginia suburbs and in the suburbs of Richmond have actually made the state a more reliably Democratic state.
00:52:59.260Now, or I should say Democrat state, they elected a Republican governor.
00:53:05.600Right now, it appears that Virginia is within grasp.
00:53:09.540One thing Trump has been able to do is to expand the map.
00:53:14.220So I think Minnesota is going to be competitive.
00:53:16.960I think New Jersey may be competitive.
00:53:19.380I know Maine is now looking competitive.
00:53:22.500I think Virginia is going to be competitive.
00:53:24.640These are states that the Trump campaign was forced to essentially write off in the last election.
00:53:32.220I think none of them are going to be written off.
00:53:34.980And then you have these Trump forays into the inner cities, usually successful rally in the Bronx, usually successful rally in the city of Philadelphia.
00:53:45.940So I think that there is a realignment happening here.
00:53:50.800It is as profound as the realignment that we saw in 1968 and 72, consolidated in 1972 by Richard Nixon.
00:54:00.260It is as profound as the realignment caused by the New Deal and Franklin Roosevelt, which is the beginning of moving African-American voters from the Republican Party, the party of Lincoln, the party that ended slavery, to be the party of Democrats.
00:54:16.200So under the New Deal and then cemented into place by the Great Society, you now see Republicans making incredible historic inroads among black voters in the country.
00:54:28.720So there's something much, much bigger afoot here.
00:54:46.200Well, I was going to quick just second what you were saying, and particularly in Virginia, Roger, I don't know if you've obviously been aware of the polling that African-Americans over the age, I believe, of 55, 60, are overwhelmingly Democrats still and sort of hanging with Biden, whereas I believe it's under 45, maybe something like that.
00:55:07.300It's almost double or triple the amount of support for Trump.
00:55:10.480Now, in a state, a commonwealth like Virginia, you have Richmond, you have a heavy African-American population in areas like this where if it's close, I mean, any movement, any significant movement in the African-American vote towards Donald Trump could swing that state or just even coming out, people coming out who hadn't voted before, young voters, black voters who want to vote for Trump.
00:55:33.580That could really make the difference and deliver Virginia to Trump.
00:55:42.020This feels like this feels like a momentous election that we're leading towards here.
00:55:46.300And, you know, obviously, we all fear what what do the what are the deep state scum going to pull this time to try to steal another election?
00:55:55.740I mean, I think they'd be wise, you know, for their own skins, frankly, at this point, not to try any any any maneuvers like this and just let Trump have the term and deal with the consequences of it.
00:56:08.100But honestly, I think so many of them are so deranged and they've been engaged in such criminality like the Andrew Weissman's of the world who have put their entire identities into lawfare and persecuting innocent people and being able to weaponize government.
00:56:23.300And mainly at the center of that is Donald Trump that I just I, you know, I think they can't help themselves.
00:56:29.320But let's just hope let's just hope they don't have the ground forces like they did to to, you know, stuff the ballot box, the rubies and the shades of the last election.
00:56:37.860And I think I think Lara Trump has done a great job, as I understand it, in preparing the forces with the attorneys and the poll workers that we're not going to get caught flat footed on a wears again this time.
00:56:48.560And they're going to have to really work to steal it, which, you know, God forbid they would go further than that.
00:56:53.720And I hope President Trump, you know, I mean, I don't know what action he's going to have to take, but he I hope he you know, I think his Secret Service contingents really solid.
00:57:03.800I guess, you know, we'll see what Judge Mershon does.
00:57:07.200I would hope the Supreme Court of the United States steps in with a broad immunity decision, even though they sold us down the river on the censorship stuff and sweeps away these cases.
00:57:17.280So Trump has a clear path to victory in November and this country has a clear path to returning from what what are the ashes at this point.
00:57:27.400All right. I'm afraid we have to leave it there.
00:57:30.200I want to thank my guest, Tyler Nixon, attorney at law, shrewd political observer and analyst.
