00:01:19.760And most importantly, he let Joe Biden talk and hang himself because the greatest damage that was done was when Biden was talking and his brain was short-circuiting, and the entire world saw that on Thursday night.
00:01:34.560We're going to break down the fallout and what's coming next.
00:01:37.280We're also going to talk about the landmark Supreme Court decision that came down last week overruling what's called the Chevron Doctrine.
00:01:45.440This is a big victory for the Constitution.
00:01:59.220I got a lot of questions on the Trump call, so we're going to do that in a second.
00:02:01.880But let me tell you about my friends at Blackout Coffee.
00:02:03.820I literally now get dozens of messages from you guys almost every week that have now tried Blackout Coffee, and the same thing is said virtually every time.
00:02:26.640I've got to be alert, and I'm not going to have an average cup of coffee anymore.
00:02:30.680I did that for literally decades, no longer.
00:02:33.860Blackout Coffee is premium coffee made by an incredible group of people that actually stand for conservative values.
00:02:42.440They started the Blackout Coffee for that reason.
00:02:44.980You know there's a bunch of liberal coffee companies out there.
00:02:48.060You probably thought of a couple names instantly when I said that, and that's when they said no more.
00:02:53.280We're not giving our money to these woke corporations.
00:02:56.140We're going to start our own, and they did it.
00:02:57.900Blackout Coffee is 100% committed to conservative values, from the sourcing of the beans to the roasting process, customer support, and shipping.
00:03:05.680They embody true American values, and they accept no compromise on taste or quality.
00:04:10.940Look, I mean, President Trump and I have been through a lot of battles together, initially on opposite sides, and then for a lot of years side by side.
00:04:20.240When he was president, I was by far his strongest ally in the U.S. Senate all four years of his presidency.
00:04:58.040But what needed to happen is for people to see just how diminished Joe Biden was.
00:05:03.460And the only way to do that is to keep your mouth shut and force Biden to talk.
00:05:07.680Ironically, the thing that really hammered Biden was the thing he and his team insisted upon, which is the microphones being shut off when the other person was talking.
00:05:18.460That meant that neither candidate had an incentive or temptation to interrupt because their mic was off.
00:05:27.060And so it wouldn't be heard if they did try to interrupt.
00:05:29.120That ended up leaving Joe Biden alone on a sinking ship because the only thing that could rescue him was his own words.
00:05:38.460And we saw multiple times where he just got completely confused and lost and didn't know what he was saying.
00:05:44.780And you could see it on the expression of the moderators of Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.
00:05:50.360They both looked with complete horror at just how much Joe Biden was crashing and burning.
00:05:56.900What was President Trump's disreaction to Biden?
00:06:01.880Did he even think it would go this well for him or really this bad for Joe Biden?
00:06:06.220Was he as much shock as I think everyone else that was watching?
00:06:09.160Well, look, I don't want to share what he said just because conversations I have with President Trump.
00:06:15.820I'll share what I said, though, which is that I'm concerned that the debate went so well that they're going to yank Biden from the ballot.
00:06:24.460And I repeated to him what I said on the podcast, which is that this will be the most consequential debate in American history if it ends up changing the names on the ballot.
00:06:39.600If it ends up forcing the Democrat Party to pull the plug on Biden and replace him.
00:06:44.880And as I've said multiple times, going back to nine months ago, I predicted they would pull pull Biden out and replace him with Michelle Obama.
00:06:52.260I think that will happen in the next three weeks.
00:06:54.300I think we have a short fuse on that happening.
00:06:58.200So I've got a million questions on that, and I've been getting them on social.
00:07:02.200You may have been seeing some of the same questions.
00:07:04.860Democrats say that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, that the Republican Party is a threat to democracy, that they're the people that care about democracy.
00:07:12.280How would they justify pulling Biden, replacing him with a candidate that no one voted for in an election cycle and then said, here it is.
00:07:29.620I think a lot of Americans are asking right now.
00:07:31.700Well, listen, at the end of the day, under their rules, each party selects their nominee and they have provisions if a nominee is incapacitated.
00:07:43.120Look, if if either Donald Trump or Joe Biden fell over dead tomorrow, it's not like the Republican or Democrat Party would say, OK, well, I guess we don't have a presidential nominee.
00:07:56.780It is not happened with presidential candidates, but it happens sometimes with congressional candidates, sometimes with Senate candidates or House candidates where people have either they they die or they have health issues that prevent them from running.
00:08:12.240And so the natural way for the Democrats to do this would be with Joe Biden's cooperation, that he comes forward and says, you know, my my health is deteriorated such that I'm no longer able to be a candidate.
00:09:25.340I don't think people will believe that it was a cold that caused him to have a terrible night.
00:09:30.640It's insulting, I think, to many voters.
00:09:32.640I actually think that can make it even worse.
00:09:34.980Well, and the White House spin was, well, he's usually lucid between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
00:09:42.340And so we've just learned to do any White House meetings during those hours because that's when his brain operates.
00:09:49.380And you think about that as their explanation and you're going, oh, OK, that's good.
00:09:56.600Maybe Putin and Xi, but before launching a military attack, maybe a terrorist before murdering Americans will be sure to do it between 10 a.m.
00:10:06.760and 4 p.m. because, you know, if you do it after after Luby's is closed, after after the jello at the cafeteria,
00:10:13.720I'm afraid the commander in chief is just not there and not able to handle it like like that is a terrifying statement.
00:11:26.960But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself.
00:11:33.180Between someone who tells the truth, who knows right and wrong and will give it to the American people straight and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit.
00:12:25.240But what is striking, so you've got a couple of folks there saying stick with Biden, but you've also got the New York Times.
00:12:36.140And the New York Times put out a blistering editorial, a blistering editorial calling on Biden to drop out, saying his candidacy is a reckless gamble.
00:12:49.960The Chicago Tribune also called on Biden to drop out.
00:12:54.040The Washington Post editorial board strongly suggested that Biden quit the race.
00:12:59.740And so if you look at the powers that be in the Democrat Party, the corporate media is intertwined and is, in fact, the left wing of the Democrat Party.
00:13:12.700And seeing the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and the Washington Post all coming out against Biden, we've never seen anything like that in his entire presidency.
00:13:24.620I want to get your reaction from NBC News.
00:13:26.760It said that President Joe Biden is having a family kumbaya meeting Sunday to talk about his reelection campaign with family following a nationally televised debate that left many fellow Democrats worried about his ability to beat former President Donald Trump.
00:13:42.540So they're not really worried about his cognitive decline.
00:13:44.200They're just worried about the fact that he may lose.
00:13:45.880And in that article, it said, quote, Biden was described by one person familiar with his mood as humiliated, devoid of confidence and painfully aware that the physical images of him at the debate, eyes staring into the distance, mouth agape, will live beyond his presidency.
00:14:04.920Now, that's what NBC News reported about his general, I guess, mood.
00:14:13.620And then there was other things that were said in there, basically, that, look, this is a guy who is smashing the glass in the glass in case of emergency phase of his presidency is how they described it.
00:14:29.380And let me say the point you made just there is really important.
00:14:32.100The Democrats who are panicking, who are freaking out, the editorial boards who are panicking and freaking out, they don't care that the president of the United States is not mentally competent.
00:14:43.560They don't care that the president of the United States is, in the words of the Biden Department of Justice, not mentally fit to stand trial, not competent to stand trial.
00:16:26.060And by the way, the 25th Amendment is the amendment to the Constitution that provides for removing a president from office, a sitting president, when he is no longer competent to do the job.
00:16:38.400And that, look, that's the punchline of a joke, but it's not much of a joke.
00:17:22.680Men's testosterone levels are off a cliff historically at an all-time low.
00:17:26.780And thankfully, the patriots at Chalk, C-H-O-Q, are here helping men just like you take back your right to proudly maximize your masculinity by boosting testosterone levels up to 20% over 90 days.

00:17:52.180That is how I have been able to lose so much weight.
00:17:54.880So if you're ready to get off the couch, you're ready to feel like you're a little bit younger, you're ready to get that energy back, try Chalk.
00:19:11.300Whenever the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments, that means the cabinet members, or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,
00:19:33.980the vice president shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting president.
00:19:39.880And thereafter, when the president transmits to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists,
00:19:51.620he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or as such other body as Congress may by law provide,
00:20:03.100transmit, transmit within four days to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.
00:20:14.440Thereupon, Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within 48 hours for that purpose, if not in session.
00:20:22.640If the Congress, within 21 days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or if Congress is not in session within 21 days after Congress is required to assemble,
00:20:36.440determines by two-thirds vote of both houses that the president is unable to discharge the power and duties of his office,
00:20:44.040the vice president shall continue to discharge the same as acting president.
00:20:47.940Otherwise, the president shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
00:20:53.460So this could happen in theory if they decided to do it, but it would take Kamala Harris and the cabinet going against the president very quickly.
00:24:33.660Paul, I don't know, and that is the great unanswered question.
00:24:39.520Look, the people in the White House not only know his capabilities, they deal with him day in and day out.
00:24:46.560They never should have agreed to this debate.
00:24:48.940It was completely unnecessary, and they had to know about his limitations.
00:24:54.360And bluntly, a week out, 10 days out, if they sensed this, there was ample opportunity for an international crisis or crises to lead to a cancellation.
00:25:05.080Every decision the White House staff made, including the briefing for Thursday night, failed.
00:25:11.420But the fundamental judgment on this debate and participation was the wrong one.
00:25:17.140That's a former advisor to the Clinton White House who's saying that.
00:25:22.460How on earth would you even move forward if he stays?
00:27:18.260And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:27:28.040So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:27:31.280Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:27:36.900By the way, it's interesting that a lot of the people in the Democratic Party are saying he's got to go.
00:27:41.520All these editorials are saying he's got to go that you mentioned.
00:27:43.940But there's two old people in Washington, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
00:27:50.120They're acting like the debate the other night didn't even happen.
00:27:53.460Here is Nancy Pelosi when she was asked a question about it.
00:27:56.660What do you make of Democrats calling for?
00:36:23.760It was a doctrine that said the courts will defer to federal agencies on rules and regulations so long as that rule and regulation is, quote, reasonable.
00:36:38.480What it did is it gave enormous powers to unelected bureaucrats.
00:36:44.900And Chevron, you can trace in a very direct line the rise of the administrative state, the rise of unelected bureaucrats issuing rules that are incredibly costly to the American people, incredibly harmful to the American people.
00:36:59.800You can trace that rise to the Chevron doctrine because when an agency of unelected bureaucrats issued a brand new rule, the courts would enforce that rule and say, well, it's the expert agency.
00:37:12.280And so we're going to give force to what they say, even if Congress never passed this into law.
00:37:19.160And so the court last week overruled Chevron.
00:37:23.400What that means now is that it is Congress.
00:37:26.700It's the elected members of Congress that have to make policy decisions that impact the American people, not the armies of bureaucrats who have no democratic accountability.
00:37:37.960What type of precedent that will this have moving forward and what does this say to corporations as well?
00:37:45.040Well, what it will do is weaken federal regulators.
00:37:48.140And let's take, for example, the facts here.
00:37:49.860So the facts here concerned a family fishing company and and the federal government issued a regulation that required the family fishing company, number one, to allow a fishing monitor, a person on board their ship.
00:38:07.780But but also forced the family fishing company to pay the salary of the federal fishing monitor, even though the law passed by Congress had no such requirement.
00:38:18.960So, in other words, this regulator said, OK, you, the fisherman, you got to allow a federal bureaucrat on your ship and you got to pay a salary.
00:38:28.540Why? Because we said so, because we want you to pay a salary.
00:38:31.660And the court said, well, wait a second.
00:38:34.120When Congress passed the law, it didn't say that.
00:39:04.000Quote, the court should unequivocally abandon the contemporary Chevron deference doctrine because it contradicts articles one, two and three of the Constitution.
00:39:15.740Decades of application of Chevron deference have facilitated the exercise of functions by the executive branch
00:39:22.400that more properly belong to the legislative and judicial branches.
00:39:28.040Agencies exploit general or broad terms and statutes to engage in policymaking functions of questionable legality
00:39:37.720with the assumption that the courts will grant deference and not independently evaluate the lawfulness of those agency interpretations.
00:39:47.360And then I quote from from a dissent of Justice Thomas's, quote,
00:39:53.880The founders expected that the federal government's powers would remain separated and the people's liberty secure only if the branches could check each other.
00:40:06.920Therefore, the Constitution imposes structural constraints on all three branches
00:40:13.400and the exercise of power free of those accompanying restraints subverts the design of the Constitution's ratifiers.
00:40:22.400The court agreed with the amicus brief that I filed for 17 senators.
00:40:27.820It agreed with the amicus brief Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, filed for a number of House members.
00:40:33.560And the result today is there is more power in the elected members of Congress.
00:40:40.480And the reason that matters is you where power resides, you want it to reside where there's accountability.
00:40:47.940If Congress votes for an idiotic law that hurts the American people, you know what the voters can do?
00:40:56.540If an unelected bureaucrat issues a rule that says, I don't know, fisherman, you got to let a bureaucrat on your boat and you got to pay a salary.
00:41:05.300Well, you know what? You can't fire that bureaucrat.
00:41:07.580That bureaucrat doesn't run for office.
00:41:09.140That bureaucrat doesn't do town halls.
00:41:11.060That bureaucrat never sees the people he's hurting.
00:41:14.880And so this was a victory for democracy and a victory for the Constitution,
00:41:20.320which, of course, means Democrats and the media are horrified.
00:41:24.480You know, this reminds me so much of the parallels and what you're describing with what we saw with Dr. Fauci,
00:41:31.600a guy elected by no one, making more money than anybody else in the United States government.
00:41:36.460Literally, that's not a joke, making more than the president makes and being able to basically make up and put laws on all of us
00:41:44.280and certain lockdowns, et cetera, on all of us and change the entire way we did our life.
00:41:50.160And there was, in essence, no check or balance for him.
00:41:52.820This seems like where the country is moving now, paying attention more to these type of situations.
00:41:58.880Well, and look, we see a whole series of decisions from the Supreme Court
00:42:03.040that are all about enforcing the Constitution and enhancing democracy.
00:42:08.980You take the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe versus Wade.
