  Speaker 1: it is Verdict with Center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: you on this special podcast. Senator, you predicted this ten
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: months ago. It has now become a reality. Your initial reaction.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Well, today is an historic day. We are one hundred
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: and six days out from the presidential election and the
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Democrat nominee for president, the sitting Democrat president, is out.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: He will not be on the ballot, he will not
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: be the candidate. At this point, the Democrat Party is
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: in utter disarray. Chaos is erupting. We're going to break
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: down exactly what is likely to happen next. We're going
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: to walk all through the steps to expect in the

  Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty days between now an election day.
• 0:47

  Speaker 1: tell you about my friends in blackout coffee. I can
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: promise you right now I don't need a cup of

  Speaker 1: coffee with this new news that Biden's out. But on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a normal day when I'm getting on the radio at
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: seven am, it is really important that I'm awake and
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: i I am ready to go. I don't want an
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: average cup of coffee. I want a phenomenal cup of coffee,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: a premium cup of coffee, without the woke agenda of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: so many of the coffee comanies out there. When I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: said that, you probably thought about a couple of brands. Well.

• 1:59
  Speaker 1: All right, So let's start with what's happened over the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: last week. Democrats witnessed an incredible GOP convention. You and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I were there. It's the most I think unity I've
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: ever seen the Republican Party at the convention, doubtedly, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: they were I think, really concerned after the convention of
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a big bump. How do you reset a race you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: get in your new candidate. And I think they clearly
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: saw that. We saw the big five Democratic families and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the media coalesced behind forcing him to get out. I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: think some sort of deal had to happen to make
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: sure that Joe Biden and his family are going to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be taken care of. Kamala Harris was the obvious choice,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: that's now who he's endorsed, and other Democrats seem to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: be jumping on board.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Well, listen, I think this was inevitable, as I said,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: as of the night of the debate, but I think
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: the momentum of it accelerated number one, with the assassination
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: attempt on President Trump. Number two with the very successful
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: presidential convention we just had in Milwaukee. I think Democrats
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: were in absolute panic. They were in panic. Earlier today,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: poll numbers came out of Michigan that had Trump leading
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Biden in Michigan by seven points. You want to talk
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: about something to put put Democrats in cold sweats. If
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: they're losing Michigan by seven points, go ahead and pull
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the curtains down, roll up the rug. It's all over.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: That's why they did this. That would have happened regardless,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: even if the debate had been even if the convention
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: rather had been bumpy, even if Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: had not happened. I believe we'd still have Biden out
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: of the race. But the Democrats, we saw each of
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the major constituencies of the Democrat Party line up against
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden in force amount. He did not want to go.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: He did not go willingly, but one after the other,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: starting with Democrats in Congress, Nancy Pelosi came out against him,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer came out against him, Hakeem Jeffries came out
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: against him. And it was all self interest. All the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Democrats in Congress were looking at their poles saying, holy cow,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: we're about to lose, and they all lined up against him.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: But you also saw you saw Barack Obama quietly coming
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: out against him. He put out a quick tweet in
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: support of him, but he also signed off on George
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Clooney representing Hollywood abandoning him, saying Joe get out. We
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: saw the corporate media uniformly pushing him out, We saw
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the donors pushing him out, and the pressure became too
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: much to bear. One senator after another senator after another
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: senator on the Democrat side, Biden didn't have a choice.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: But I will say it was very savvy of them
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: to wait until after this convention. But let's let's just
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: first go with the news. So today, here's what Joe
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Biden put out this afternoon. This is the letter he
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: put out. He tweeted it out. This This screenshot is
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: from twelve forty six pm. Interestingly enough, it had ninety
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: five point nine million views already. Yeah, I just checked
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: a minute ago, where about two hours later it was
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: up to one hundred and sixty one million views. This
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: is his resignation letter. And rather than you and me
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: read it, which which should be fine, but we'd have
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: to say words that are demonstrably untrue, things claiming that
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Biden had actually done something well, that his record was
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: something other than the train rerecord is rather than you
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: or me read it, I think we're better off engaging
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in a bit of schadenfreud. And so watching Jensaki on MSNBC.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Re Ormer White House Press secretary, Joe Biden's press secretary,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: having to carry the water, and.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I gotta say, look, since I said that there are
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: a number of lies about his record, Jensaki is actually
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: quite accomplished at reading lies. But for those of you
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: watching this as a video pod, so this is one.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: We do this podcast three days a week. All three
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: of them are on audio, typically one a week is
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: on video. This is one of the video and audiopods.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And I will say, if you're listening on audio, I'd
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: encourage you go to YouTube and watch it on video
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: because to watch Jensaki's face, you cannot fully appreciate the
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: agony without watching it. As she's reading these words, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: as we're watching the Democrat Party light itself on fire. Here,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: give a listen, give a watch.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: We have breaking news here. President Biden has announced he
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: will stand down from the race. We're going to read
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: the statement here.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Her expression, which is actually frozen on the screen right now,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: she's about to cry.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she's like, what has just happened to
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: my world? No?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: No, no, it is that's all right, Go ahead, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: keep playing.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: We also have Tim Miller, who's going to be joining
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: us shortly. Over the past, my fellow Americans, over the
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: past three and a half years, we have made great
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: progress as a nation. To today, America has the strongest
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: economy in the world. We've made historic investments in rebuilding
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: our nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: in expanding affordable healthcare to a record number of Americans.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: We've provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to toxic substances. Past the first thank you so much.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to read off the paper here. Past
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the first safety law in thirty years, appointed the first
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: African American woman to the Supreme Court, and passed the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: most significant climate legislation in the history of the world.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, really, that's I mean, she just goes straight
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: into it and is like totally lost, like what just
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: happened to us?
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Well, Joe Biden has suspended as you and I predicted
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: ten months ago, as you and I predicted a month
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: ago on the debate, and he will not be on
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: the ballot. That has never happened before.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: The closest analog is the nineteen sixty eight Democrat Convention,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: which was in.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Chicago as well.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: That is the last time you had an incumbent Democrat president,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: and that case Lyndon B.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Johnson.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not run for reelection. Now, Lyndon B. Johnson, Why
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: did he not run for reelection? A big part of
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: it is he'd lost the support of the American people.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: He'd lost the sport of a Republic of independence and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Democrats and when you lose all of them, there ain't
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: nobody left. It was the middle of the Vietnam War.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Unlike Joe Biden, it was not that he was too old.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: It was just that he was physically worn down and tired,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: and he'd lost the American people, and so LBJ didn't
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: run and had You want to talk about an incredibly
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: contentious election. In that election, there was a guy named
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Robert F. Kennedy who was running. That tragically is the
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: election cycle where Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in the course
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: of the cycle. But he was for a period the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: rising star. You ended up having lbj's vice president, Hubert Humphrey,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: got the nomination, but it was an incredibly close and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: contested race because you had a challenge from the left
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and a challenge from the left over Vietnam a chaotic convention,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and outside you had rabid protesters engaged in violence and rioting.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I think we may literally be seeing history repeating itself.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about and there's two aspects of what I'm
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: about to ask you. Number One, we see early on,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I think the front runner is Kamala Harris. We see
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: people coalescing behind her. But the real question is how
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: did she get that support so quickly from this president?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: What is the deal that's being done behind the scenes?
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Was this White House staffers making sure, Hey, I want
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to stay in and keep my power, I have a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: better chance of keeping it with KMA than going with
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: somebody else. All these people and jobs in around Biden
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: hare so like, Hey, I can keep my power if
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: she's the person or was it hey He's saying, okay,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: I trust you COMA to take care of me, protect
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: my son, possibly give out clemensy or pardons that may
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: be needed down the road. How did the sausage get
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: made on this deal?
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's go back to Biden's resignation letter.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Put that back up there. If you look at the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: resignation letter, that when he put it out earlier today,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: he says, and I'm going to finish reading from where
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: we cut off on Jensaki. It's been the greatest honor
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: of my life to serve as your president. And while
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: it has been my intention to seek reelection, the damned
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Democrats dromat of office. No, you didn't say that, he says.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I believe it isn't the best interest of my party,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: notice his party first, yep, and the country for me
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: as president for the remainder of my term. I will
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: speak to the nation later this week in more detail
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: about my decision. For now, let me express my deepest
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: gratitude to all those who work so hard to see
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: me reelect it. I want to thank Vice President Kamala
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, in this resignation letter, you notice what he
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: doesn't do.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I fully endorse.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: He doesn't mention endorsement at all, he says. I want
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: to thank Kamala Harris, and he's silent. Now he puts
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: that out, and I'm assuming when he puts that out,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: the powers that be in the White House and in
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party freaked the hell out. Yeah, lost their minds,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: lost their minds. And so shortly thereafter, look at the
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: tweet he put out as a follow up, like it
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: says something your resignation letter. It's kind of odd to
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: need a follow up.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: And then a quick follow up at that very quick.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Follow up, but there was enough time. That other one
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: was twelve forty six. This is one thirteen, so you know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: time passed. And then he sends out another tweet. My
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: fellow Democrats, I've decided not to accept the nomination to
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: focus all my energies on my duties as president for
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: the remainder of my term. Notice that was in his letter.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: My very first decision as the party nominee in twenty
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: twenty was to pick Kamala Harris as my vice president.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: And it's the best decision I've made today. I want
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats, it's
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: time to come together and beat Trump.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Let's do this. So delayed reaction.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: So at this point, Kamala is clearly the front runner.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden is explicitly supporting her. In the time that followed,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Bill Clinton came out in support of her, Hillary Clinton
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: came out in support of her. Alex Soros has come
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: out in support of her.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Alex, by the way, maybe one of the most important
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: actual endorsements, because it's follow the money well.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: And look, George Soros has been the most important donor
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: behind not just the Democrat Party, but the radical leftist,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: the cultural Marxist, the anti Semitic protesters on campus. Soros
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: has been funding all of that. According to multiple reports,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: George Soros's mental condition and mental deterioration is at least
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: where Biden's is, if not substantially worse. And it's the
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: son Alex Soros is the one that's now making the decision.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: So understand when Alex Soros tweets out that he's behind
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris, what he's saying is the money is behind
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. You're going to see a lot of that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, there's some other Democrats who are not quick
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: to get on board. So, for example, take a look
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: at what Gavin Newsom tweeted, President Biden has been an
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: extraordinary history making president, a leader who has fought hard
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: for working people and delivered astonishing results for all Americans.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: He will go down in history as one of the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: most impactful and selfless presidents. Thank you, Joe Biden.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's not much of an endorsement.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: There is though, whose name's not there? Yeah, Kamala And
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: interesting enough. Now, look, Gavin is not lacking an ambition.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: That's the very PC way of putting it. I like
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that it He's like, let's go to the convention, let's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: have this thing out.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: It'll be interesting. And by the way, earlier today there
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: were was all sorts of chatter that Hillary Clinton was
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: going to make a play for this. It is interesting
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: that she and Bill came out very quickly and said
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: let's get behind Kamala. Your going to see lots of chatter.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: There are Democrats talking about wanting to have a open convention,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: a sort of mini primary battle, have the delegates decide
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: under DNC rules. Initially, the delegates will vote. It's being
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: speculated that Biden will release his delegates and say vote
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: for whom you want, and there may be a process.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: They may do a process where Kamala RAN's and a
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: handful of other people ron and they have a first
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: ballot under the DNC rules, the so called super delegates.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Those include things like governors, things like senators. They don't
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: vote until the second ballot, So the first ballot is
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the actual elected delegates. And if they were elected to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: support Joe Biden, if they've been released, igar whatever they want.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: They can do whatever they want. I think at the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: end of the day, there's gonna be a little bit
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: of noise, there's gonna be a little bit of squawking.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: But I stand by my prediction from day one that
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: there is one person, in one person only for whom
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: the Democrats will be willing to push Kamala Harris aside,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: and that is Michelle Obama. It doesn't appear right now
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: that Michelle is willing to get in now that could
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: be on August surprise. We've got nearly a month until
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: the Democrat Convention.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Can we just talk horse trading so people understand what
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: this is gonna look like for the next thirty days.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, delegates now have the power to pick
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: who the president could be.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Yep, and by the way. Why is that because the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Democrat Party. Look, they knew that Joe Biden was mentally incompetent.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: They knew a year ago. They ran him anyway. They
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: had the voters, all the Democrat voters come vote for him,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: even though they knew he was mentally incompetent, that he
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: couldn't do the job now. He couldn't do the job then,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: but they wanted power. The only thing that changed is
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: with the debate. It became untenable. The American people realized
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: this guy is not capable of doing the job anymore.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: It was only because they feared they were going to
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: lose that the Democrats have abandoned him. But the consequence
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of that is the Democrats were perfectly fine with Democrat
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: primary voters being completely disenfranchised. You will not get to
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: select the Democrat nominee.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this person will be elected by no one in
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the public. It will all be done with horse trading.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: It can happen on.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: A handful of elite's, a handful of special interest, which
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: actually is pretty typical of who the Democrat Party is
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: actually true, the irony is that they engage in Freudian
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: projection at an historic level where everything they accuse their
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: opponents of is what they're doing. But Democrat primary voters
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: will have no say in who the nominee is. It
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: will be powerbrokers in Chicago.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: So let's just paint behind the scenes so people understand
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the corruption that can come out of this. If you
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: need delegates to get the nomination and you coalesce in
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: smaller groups and then you go forward and say, hey,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I'm so and so I'm representing thirty five people in
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: this state California. You can't win without us. I would
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: like this, and this person would like this, and this
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: person will like this, and this person would like this,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and their kids would like these jobs in the White House.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: If you give us this, you get all of our votes.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: That is exactly what we've seen happen at state level.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: We've seen corruption happen in a way when they're replacing
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: a seat.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Hey, Rody Gooievich went to jail for basically selling a
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Senate seat. This is going to happen now one hundred
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: thousand times over. And by the way, put on top
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: of that, the big labor unions and the big money
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: players and the Democrats party so corrupt, and the Sierra
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Club and the pro abortion groups and all of the difference.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: The Democrat Party today is a coalition of rent seekers,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: of people who make their money suckling off the teet
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: of government. That's who they are, and it is all
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: about power and influence. Many of them. The reason they
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: were willing to back someone who was obviously not mentally
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: competent to be president is because they all stayed in power.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Now suddenly Joe Biden is going to be gone, and
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: so they're all desperately scrambling how do I keep my power?
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: And we're going to see that play out. What I
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: think will happen at the end of the day, I think,
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: number one, the Democrats are too much of racial and
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: gender being counters to push an African American woman aside
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: for a white guy. So anyone looking at Gavin Newsom
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: or anyone else, I just don't think that's gonna happen.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: That's why I think Michelle Obama is the only person
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: who could push her aside, And at least right now,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: it does not see Michelle is trying to do that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: If it's not Michelle, I think we will see Kamala Harrison.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I think the real battle is going to be who
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: the VP is.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you about the VP. But before
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: we get to that, is it fair to say that
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: this might be the most corrupt picking of a presidential
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: candidate in modern political history because of the time that
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: people have to build their power and to basically an essence,
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: sell their vote.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: And it's perhaps now not to be fair. It hasn't
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: happened yet, but it's all going to be behind closed doors.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be the voters. It's not going
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: to be in public. It's one thing if you campaign,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Look at some level, you could say all campaigns are
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: in a way about buying votes. If you campaign and
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: say I'm for Medicare for all, for socialized medicare, you're
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: you're saying the Democrats are big on being the Santa
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Claus Party. We'll give you free stuff if you vote
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: for us.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: That's one thing.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Different level, it's a totally different if you make a
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: public promise in the press that I will support a
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: law that that has broad effect. You know, Joe Biden,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna give away a trillion dollars to people who
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: have student loans.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, vote for me. I'm buying your vote.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: That is very different from you know, Ben, you control
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: a pocket of votes. You ever thought of being Secretary
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: of the Navy?
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: You like votes?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Or I hear there's a great house in this country.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: And the ambassadorship there's really fun.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's we're going to see that happening every
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: day now, mind you, you're gonna get competing people making
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: those promises. And in terms of the vice president, that's
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: going to be part of the negotiation is who Kamala
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: team's up with to try to lock down lock down
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: the power brokers in the Democrat Party. And one question
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: is does she try to quickly buy off whoever she
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: thinks her most formidable adversary is Possibly? Does she try
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: to get all of the potential adversaries to compete wooing
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: for her affection more likely, But it's going to take
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: an entire month playing out for us to see well.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: And can you promise someone the vice presidency so they
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: don't challenge you? That's the question I want to ask
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: you next. But first I want to tell you about
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: my friends over at chalk. If Joe Biden would have
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: just taken some chalk, he might still be in this race.

• 21:54
  Speaker 1: talk about VP. Forget what we just went through. Holy crap.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Somebody who was never on a ballot yep, that no
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: one's ever voted for for vice president is all of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a sudden going to become the vice president the United
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: States of America, possibly certainly will be the nominee for
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. How do they pick? I don't think
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of people understand this. It's confusing enough picking
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the now Kamala Harris or whoever it's going to be.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: But let's say it is Kamla. It's a little bit
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: more orderly. How the hell are we going to get
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the vice president? You'll pick for the Democratic Party? How
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: does that work?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Look, they're going to decide who brings the most to
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: the ticket. Often you look at geographic concerns. Will someone
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: put a state into play? Will someone be beneficial? Sometimes
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: you look to things like, as someone a great fundraiser,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: will they bring a bunch of donors? Will they bring
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: other interest groups on board? Sometimes you look to neutralize
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: someone who's a potential opponent. In this instance, I think
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are one hundred percent about race and gender.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: It's how they think. It's how they're wired. They don't
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: look at individuals. It's DEI, so it is DII. I
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: think think the VP nominee will be a boring white guy.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: That's my prediction.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: And they're there.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: They actually have a number of boring white guys. So
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: so so they have a broad.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: So who picks it? Is it the person who gets
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the nomination, So there's no voting by the delegates. To me,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: you don't understand the process. It will be.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: My guess is Kamala will announce who her VP is
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: going to be before they vote. It could conceivably be afterwards.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: It depends. If there's a real contested.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Battle at the convention, Uh.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Then then maybe she doesn't announce it until after she's
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: the nominee. Typically, the way it happens is the nominee
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: is sewn up before the convention. It's been a long
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: time since we've had a contested convention, and we've there's
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: been uncertainty as to who the nominee is going to be.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: If the if the if the vote is really contentious
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: and it's a drag out knockdown at the convention. You're
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: saying there's a legit possibility that whoever comes away with
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: it will will barely survive that they get the nomination.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: They say, Hey, in a week or two, I'll tell
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: you who my VP is going to be.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, I think it would be at the convention.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: I think it would be immediately thereafter. And if there
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: is a real fight, I mean, one thing that has happened,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: you know, you could go to whoever's number two and say, look,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I'll make you a VP if you drop out and
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: endorse me, and that could be how you lock up
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: the votes. I don't think it'll come to that. I
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: actually think people will coalesce around Kammalin more quickly than that.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Who's the front runner then right now in your mind?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously this could change in a couple weeks.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: But if I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna give you
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: two names and why Josh Shapiro.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, and tell people that don't know Josh who he is.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: He is the governor of Pennsylvania. He is widely perceived
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: as a moderate. He is Jewish. He was attorney general
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania. I think what is compelling is number one.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Shapiro has strong polling numbers in Pennsylvania. If the Democrats
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: can win Pennsylvania, the path to Trump winning becomes much
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: much harder. He's also pursued as a moderate, and I
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: think actually naming a Jewish Democrat would help tamp down
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: some of.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: The anti Semitic that they've been dealing with the last
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: several months.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, and so I think all of that, if you're
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: sitting there around Kamala, that's attractive. A second choice that
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: I think is also very attractive as a VP is
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Mark Kelly. Mark Kelly is Senator from Arizona. Yeah, Mark
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Kelly is a Navy veteran. Mark Kelly is a former astronaut.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: He's been to space.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: He's also got a fame factor to him. Yeah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And Mark Kelly is also affable, and he seems reasonable.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: He doesn't seem crazy when you talk with him. I
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: like Mark Kelly personally. He's someone he's like a Joe Manchin.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: It won't be Joe Manchen, but he's someone who his affect,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: his demeanor is very affable and if you met him
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: on the street, you wouldn't think the guy was a Democrat.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't think that he voted with a looney left
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: on almost everything because he seems like a normal guy.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I think that would be very attractive. And Arizona, it
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: is not as vital as swing state as Pennsylvania doesn't
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: have nearly as many electoral votes, but Arizona is certainly
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: a battleground state, and Mark Kelly on the ballot could help.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I would put those two as the top two.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I got to ask, and where's Gavin Newsom? Is he
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: number three? If you're going for a white guy, the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: argument they would say is someone says he brings California,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: but the reality is California got California anyway exactly.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: So if they go Gavin Newsom, it's a combination of
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: two things. Want one money, okay, and Newsom's got a
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: bunch of donors who love him who'll write checks. And
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: California is the ATM of the Democrat Party. And so
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: now Kamala is a Californian, so she's got a lot
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: of that money behind her also.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: But it neutralizes him too, right, wouldn't that be the
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: perk because then you'd have to worry about him in four.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Years potentially, Although she doesn't worry about him in four
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: years if she's the incumbent president, he's not going to
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: primary her. If she gets this and gets elected, Newsom
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: doesn't get to run.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: For eight years.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: That that's just it, just that's how it's going to
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: knocks that down down the road. Look, Newsome, I think
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: is perceived as too liberal. My guess is they're not
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: going to be that worried about money. And the other
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: reason you would go with Newsom is he's talented.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: I mean he is.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: He is a snake oil salesman par excellence. He's a communicator,
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: he's slick.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: He can be a great campaigner because peop would show
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: up to see him. In the Democratic Party, that's important too, right,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, you you have an event and your VP
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: is popular, that's good for your campaign.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Look, and in many ways he would overshadow Comel. It
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: reminds me back in the nineteen eighty eight election. I
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: remember Saturday Night Live was making fun as we're getting
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: really close to the election, and you had George Bush
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: and dan Quayle and look, people had ridiculed dan Quail enormously.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: And so what what SNL did is the ballots is
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: the party of parties have requested they be printed. And
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: the Republican side had Bush and giant letters and Quail
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: and tiny the letters. And then on the Democrat side
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: you had Michael Dacaccas who rode in a tank with
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: a helmet and looked ridiculous. And then Lloyd Benson, it
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: was the Texas senator who was moderate well received, was
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: going over well. SNL did the Battle of Docacas, tiny
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: little letter and Benson.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that could happen.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Kamala could be worried about is the risk that Gavin
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: would would overshadow her. And that's why I think Shapiro
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: or Kelly are more likely. I'd be surprised. I don't
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: think she thinks she needs the money, and I think
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: the downside she would perceive is greater.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the media, because what we're
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: going to see right now, and this is my biggest concern.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: You and I talked about this in Milwaukee. If Biden
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: dropped out. Now it's Biden has dropped out. It's a
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: complete reset, yes, of this presidential campaign, the polls, and
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I want to be very clear to our audience. This
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: is my opinion. I don't know if you agree with
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: me or not. I want to know your take on
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: it are completely meaningless and worthless right now, correct. The
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: only poll that's going to matter is the first poll
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: after we find out who the Democrats actually pounding.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: That poll's not going to matter. And and listen, this
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: is something you and I talked about in our last podcast.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: We did two podcasts live from the convention. I love
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: the convention. It was a blast. It's the best Republican convention.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen, more unity than I've ever seen. However,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I was very worried at the convention, and I expressed
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: this to you at the time, which is I am
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: afraid people were over confident at the convention that there
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: was an air of celebration. It was we've won, We're
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: on to victory. This is a landslide. Trump's coming back in.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: We've got a huge Republican majority. He heard people talking
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: about it. Fifty five to fifty six Republican senators, huge
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Republican house. Like people were planning. People were talking about,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: all right, who's gonna be Secretary of State, who's gonna
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: be Secretary of Defense? Like they're handing.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Already moved on. Yeah, we wanted now what's next? And
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: that's not the case.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: And my view I'm trying to say this is, Look,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: there's a time for celebration, celebrate after election day, celebrate
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: after we've won. Now is not the time for celebration.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Now's the time for hard work. Now's the time for
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: rolling up your sleeves and going to win. And my
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: assumption is coming out of the convention, Republicans will get
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: a little bounce. You know, historically it's about four points
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: is what you get out of your convention. I think
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: it was a strong convention. So let's assume that happens
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: the Democrats, and I will give them credit for one thing.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: They're timing of releasing it right after the convention. Perfect
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: timing to do this, because it resets the whole race.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: It almost doesn't matter what the bounce was out of
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: the convention. And here's the problem. For the next month,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: all of the news is going to be dominated by
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: who the Democrat is going to be. The Democrats are
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: about to have a month long convention instead of a week.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Why do you get a bounce out of a convention.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: You get a bounce out of convention because you have
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: four days of driving the news. The earn media every
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: night of your people on TV, pitching all of the
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: benefits of your nominee, all the benefits of your record,
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: all the benefits of your agenda. Instead of a four
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: day convention, the Democrats are about to have a month
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: long convention where every news story will be focused on
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: who the nominee is gonna be. And they're also going
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: to be doing a combination of number one, praising Biden.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: You know, it's not graceful to he's on his way out.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: People don't want to criticize him anymore.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: We're going they did this for America.
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: He's historic, He's one of the greatest presidents of the
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: history of the universe. I mean, you're gonna hear all
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: of that effusively, and then they're going to talk about
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: what an historic president Kamala Harris would be and it's
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: going to be a month long We're going to see.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Multi I would argue multi billion dollar in kind contribution.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: And by the way, Republicans, I worry vastly underestimate Kamala
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Harris that they don't think very highly of her. They
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: don't think she's terribly bright. When you or I bring
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: up Kamala Harris's name in Republican circles people. It's immediately
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: a punch line. I think people are underestimating what billions
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: of dollars of free media, of the entire corrupt corporate
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: media complex. Pitching her as a combination of Mother Teresa,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Oprah and Gandhi.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, and save the party.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: It's going to be and young and vibrant, and it's historic.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I mean it is going to be now. I still
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: think Trump wins in November. But this is not a layup.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: It is not given in what's coming in front of us. Look,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: if you're a Democrat, what makes you nervous is chaos,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: and this much chaos one hundred days out is scary.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: But you know what even more scary is going to
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: an election where you're almost certain to lose, which is
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: where Biden was. So from their perspective, chaos and a
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: chance to win or certain loss, they'll take chaos. But
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Republicans need to understand just how dangerous this is.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: It's all perspective in life. And I said this earlier.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: It's like you're on the greatest cruise ship in the world,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: and that cruise ship's going down, and a crappy little
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: fishing boat shows up and it saves your life. You
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: love that crappy fishing boat the rest of your life.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how bad it looks, how ugly it was.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: You just got your life saved. And that's Kamala Harris
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: like not a good.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Game that you do not have a career as a
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Democrat politics ad maker. I can see the ad now,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris the boat to save your life.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: To save your life. But it's perspective. I mean, that's
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: what they're dealing with. I know, right, But she didn't
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: even make it. I mean, I go back to when
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: she was running. She got zero delegates, correct, and she
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: was a terrible kennt. But when you're now in the
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: position of that boat sinking and I'm the only one
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: that's got doesn't have a hole in the boat, I'm
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: pretty I'm pretty appealing to everybody on that boat, and
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: I love you, and I'm willing to swim to you,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm willing to hug you and kiss you and
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: say thank you for saving my life. It's all perspective.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: And that's what the media is going to do to her,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: is say she just saved us from guaranteed to fate defeat.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: She is a savior to the Democratic Party. We love
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: her and they're all going to be energized. That terrifies me.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, energized. And once she's the nominee, unified. You know,
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: one thing to keep in mind. People are focused on, oh, money,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: and Trump has a money advantage. Put yourself in the
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: mindset of a Democrat gazillionaire, of a Democrat activist, of
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: a Democrat union boss, of a Democrat special interest leader.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: A week ago, you were depressed, you were demoralizing, you
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: were contemplating America run by Hitler. And by the way,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: if you're one of those people, you think Donald Trump
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: is Adolf Hitler. Yeah, but look like you were just
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if I want to show up
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: and vote.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: It's terrible.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: It's horrible. And now to go back to the sinking
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: cruise ship, you've been thrown a lifeline. I think we're
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: going to see jubilation on the Democrat side. That's dangerous too,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: you know, jubilation.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: What happens is donors pull out their checks and they
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: write really big checks when they're massive. What happens is
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: activists go and they work harder, they turn more people out,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: and that particularly if the Republicans are over confident, we
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: cannot be over confident. That combination is dangerous. And you
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: know what, it reminds me of, potentially I hope this
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: is not right, but it reminds me of a few
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: years ago the A and M versus Alabama game. I
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: was there at the A and M versus Alabama game.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Alabama at the time was the number one team in
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: the country.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: You have me at sports analogy. I'm all in now,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: A and M.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: A and M had started off as a top twenty
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: five team and had a good team, but it had
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: lost two games in a row. Yep, two opponents that
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: weren't wasn't supposed to lose. I think maybe Mississippi State.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was bad. It was bad.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: And so we came into the game and I was
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: there in college station, and I remember saying to my
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: buddies I was at the game with, I said, you
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: know what, I think A and M has a real
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: chance to win this game because I think Alabama's feeling
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: like we're the number one team in the country and
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: these A and M guys suck. Look at look they're
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: losing to teams that are not not contenders.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: This is easy.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: We're playing a junior high team, and I think the
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Aggies were pissed off or they were at Kyle Field
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: and they were defending their home and they were mad
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: because everyone was dismissing them as a joke and they're like,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: wait a second, We're a top tier football team. And
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: they ended up winning that game. It was awesome. Forty
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: one thirty eight was the final score. Kyle Field erupted.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I don't want to see the Democrats playing the role
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: of A and M in that dynamic, and so my
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: message to Republicans is do not behave like this is
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: in the bag, because that's one of the easiest ways
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: to ensure it's.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Not in the bag. I want to ask you strategy
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: question on if you are the Trump team, what do
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: you do when you just start acting like you're running
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: against Harris. Before you answer that, I want to tell
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you about our friends over at Preborn and the incredible
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: work that they are doing and how you can get involved.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Preborn is an organization that fights for unborn children. How
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: do they do this? Preborn's networks clinics shine the bright
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: light in the darkest corner of our country where abortions
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: take place thousands of times a day. If we can
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: help protect these children, it is so important that we
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: make sure that their heartbeat, their voices are heard. How
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: do they do this? Preborn introduces mothers to their precious
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: preborn babies through ultrasound. Ultrasound is an incredible tool where
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: a mother can hear the heart of their baby. This
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: combination leads to Preborn saving over two one hundred and
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: eighty thousand babies to date. What they do is they
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: pay for those ultrasounds. Your donation of twenty eight dollars
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: sponsors one ultrasound and it's critical for the battle for life.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: So let's join together and save as many lives and
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: heartbeats as possible. Introducing mothers to their child's heartbeat. Please
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: donate and it's easy. Just dial pound two point fifty
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: and say the keyword baby. That's pound two point fifty
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: say the keyword baby. Or go to preborn dot com
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: slash verdict. That's preborn dot com slash verdict and help
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: save a baby today. That's preborn dot com slash verdict
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: sponsored by Preborn Senator. If you are Donald Trump, you
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: now know that Biden is gone. The number one question
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: that the campaign's got to ask is how do you
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: campaign against somebody for the next month that you don't
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: know who it's going to be.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: So look, I'd say forty percent you campaign against Kamala Harris,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: you assume it's Kamala, and sixty percent you campaign against
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: the Democrats record. And I will say I've been concerned
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: in recent weeks and months that we've spent too much
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: time attacking Joe Biden for his mental diminishment and not
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: enough time making the case as you and I often do,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: that the Biden Harris Democrat record has been a train wreck.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: And I say Democrat right record, because it's not just
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden, it's Kamala Harris, and it's every single Democrat
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: in Congress, every Democrat Senator, every Democrat house member. They
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: voted repeatedly in favor of the spending and the debt
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: that is causing inflation. They voted repeatedly in favor of
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Biden's war on oil and gas and energy that is
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: causing energy prices to skyrocket. They voted repeatedly in favor
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: of open borders that's endangering our families across this country.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: They voted repeatedly in favor of letting violent criminals out
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: of jail. That is again endangering our families. They voted
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: repeatedly in favor of appeasing our enemies and undermining our allies.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: And so from the Trump's campaign, I would assume it's Kamala,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: but also make the broader point it is their agenda
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: that has failed the American people. The classic question in
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: any election, are you better off now than you were
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: four years ago? It doesn't matter what fill in the
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: blank democrat they drop into that slot, they're going to
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: be defending the same disastrous, failed record. And so I
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: hope the Trump campaign and I hope Republicans generally make
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: that case substantively.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: On the merits, It's gonna be interesting. We're gonna cover
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: it all. Make sure you share this podcast with your
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: family and friends. Share the video on social media from YouTube.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: It's also up on Facebook. You can share it there
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: as well, so that you can have other people hear
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: what we were saying here today. When this type of
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: news breaks, we do a podcast as fast as we can.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: It's emergency pod.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: Yes, let me make a final statement.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: I like this.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I'm going to place the odds that Joe Biden pardons
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Hunter Biden at one hundred point zero percent. Hunter Biden
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: will get a pardon as a result of this decision today,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: will not happen till after election day.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna ask, when's the happening.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: He's not gonna do it. He's not gonna do it
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: before election day, but he's gonna stick around and after
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: election day. I believe it is now one hundred percent
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: that Joe Biden will pardon Hunter.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling that might be part of our
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: next show. It might be Don't Forget. We do this
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: money as a Friday hit. That subscribe auto download button

  Speaker 1: a couple of days.
