  Speaker 3: It follows last.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Night's theme, which was make America Safe Again, with a
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: heavy emphasis on migrant crime.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Right, Let's go to the other side. Now, Joe Biden's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in Nevada.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Yes he is. He's speaking trying to court Latino voters today.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And let's start with a new pole that's come out
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: in just the last couple of hours showing how much
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: trouble Joe Biden is in with his own party. The
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Associated Press poll found that nearly two thirds of Democrats
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: say Joe Biden should withdraw from the presidential race and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: let his party nominate a different candidate. It also found
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: only three and ten Democrats now are extremely or very
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: confident he has the mental capacity to serve as president.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: So that's about thirty percent. Not good for Joe Biden.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And we've also found out in the last hour Adam Schiff,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: a prominent Democrat from California, has written a letter asking
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: for Joe Biden to step down. So while that assassination news,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: our attended assassination news, may have taken the spotlight of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden, it seems the issue of Democrats wanting to
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: step down is not going anywhere.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Biden was hoping that that would take
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the focus the spotlight off it and he could just
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: sneak on in there, but that may be wishful thinking. Mitch.
• 2:10
