Speaker 1 (00:01):
Leave it to this White House to screw up nine
to eleven. The President of the United States of America
is the leader of this country, and on nine to eleven,
he has a simple job to do, remember what happened
on this anniversary and make sure everyone else remembers and
that we never forget what was done to us on
(00:22):
nine to eleven. Yet Kamala Harris and Joe Biden somehow
figured out a way to screw it up. The White
House now playing defense is somehow they figured out how
to screw it up by using a Pearl Harbor analogy
to defend Joe Biden missing the nine to eleven commemoration
(00:45):
Twenty two years after Pearl Harbor. They said US presidents
were still not going to visit Hawaii. That is the
excuse for the president. Now I'm not joking missing the
nine to eleven commemoration.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Listen to this.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Focus the last couple days has been on President Biden
here in South Asia. And when I asked the White
House official why it is that President Biden was here
and missing the nine to eleven commemorations at the attack sites,
the analogy that I was given is that twenty two
years after Pearl Harbor. US presidents were not still going
to visit Hawaii. That said, the whole point of this
(01:24):
trip appeared to be countering China. Everything that we were
told ahead of it, they were going to come here
to try to counter Chinese influence in the region. But
when we finally heard from President Biden, he told us
the exact opposite.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
It strips about it was less about containing China. I
don't want to contain China. We're not looking to herd
China of Sasui. We're all better off if China does well.
I want to see China succeed economically. I don't want
to see succeed by the rules.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So polite chat about China consumed the very short Q
and A, which went a whole twenty six minutes until
the Press secretary announced off stage the event was over
and music played the president off.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Now I'm going to get to the whole president being
played off stage in a moment, because that was incredibly
embarrassing just to watch the world see a president who
is clearly treated like he is an incompetent, elderly human
being that cannot end a press conference. And the worst
part is this was on the world stage. Now, there
(02:36):
was already rumblings coming out of the summit that he
did not do well at the summit. Whether that's true
or not, I don't really know, because only the people
in the room, But I would assume it's fairly accurate
based on the fact that most people there are pretty
darn liberal and actually like Joe Biden being the President
of the United States of America. But when you use
(02:58):
this White House diminishing the anniversary of nine eleven, saying hey,
it's so big deal that the President didn't come back
for you know, to commemorate nine to eleven, and then saying, well,
it's not like President's twenty two years after Pearl Harbor.
We're still going to visit Hawaii, Like that's their analogy.
That's how little they think of this anniversary of nine
to eleven and what just happened. Rudy Giuliani, by the way,
(03:22):
America's mayor. He responded also to something else that was shocking,
which is the Vice President Harris comparing nine to eleven
to January the sixth. This is how bad she's screwed
it up. So it's not just Biden that's screwed it up.
By missing the whole thing. It's also the fact now
(03:46):
that you have Kamala Harris who's out there as the
Vice president, and she's comparing January the sixth to nine
to eleven, which I guess fits the narrative right that
all those people on January the sixth ran around the Capitol,
they're all jihadi terrorists.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Take a listen to this from Giuliani.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
There is something seriously wrong with her. You know, we
failed to take a good look of what was seriously
wrong with Biden and uncally, God, there's something seriously wrong
with Kambel Harris. Those language soup that she engages in,
which almost is like a five year old speaking, and
that's not normal. To try to compare January sixth to
(04:31):
September eleven. I mean, how do you even seriously do that?
Three thousand people just about died on September eleven could
be another three thousand pretty much pretty soon with the
illnesses thereafterward. I think we're at about two thousand, seven
hundred and thirty four right now. People would die in
(04:54):
every day of related illnesses. It was a direct attack
on the United States of America by a foreign enemy.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So you look at nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You look at this anniversary, and the message coming from
the White House is, how dare you expect the President
of the United States of America to show up on
the anniversary nine eleven? We didn't do it in Hawaii
after Pearl Harbor right twenty one, twenty two years later,
so you know.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Get over it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And then you have the Vice President who is actually
in essence, filling in for the President while he's overseas
because he's not here for this, and she then compares
nine to eleven to January sixth. Now, the White House
understood they screwed up pretty quick because social media was
(05:44):
letting the White House have it for the fact that
the President's like nowhere to be found on nine to eleven, right, like,
where is he?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Why is he doing something? Wise?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
He involved? This is the president United States of America.
What the hell are you doing? And so then they
got the president to try to fix it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
The only problem was Joe Biden didn't fix it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Now I'm going to read for you the transcript because
there's some mumbling here and I want you to understand
what he says before I play it for you. Biden
says this, okay, he's at a meeting, he's overseas, and
he's trying to I guess they were wanting him to
fix this problem. The narrative here that he didn't care.
(06:25):
And this is what Biden said, thank you for your
sentiment and concern for those we lost on nine to eleven.
He's referring to the other world leaders he's sitting with.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I will be.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Going from here to Alaska to speak to several thousand
of our troops in Alaska because I'm not going to
be able to get back to the site where it occurred.
Every year, I'm usually at one of the sites where
that act, where the terrorists act occurred. But you were
(06:55):
generous to think of us. So the President saying, Okay, well,
I'm going to do something. It's going to be in
Alaska because I don't have time to go to the
site where the terrorist actually struck.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
So uh.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But but but we're we're we're going to backfill this
and check a box and we'll be in Alaska in stead.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Concern for.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Lost going from here to Alaska to thousand.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
He's closing his eyes and mumbling, Now, I gave you
the transcript of what the White House says he says,
I don't think he actually said that.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
At the end.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
There was so much mumbling there it was, and he's
closing his eyes. He's clearly confused. So this is the
President United States of America on nine to eleven. Now,
I bring all this up to also say something else,
and that is the issue of our open border and
the problem we have right now with our open border,
especially in light of nine to eleven. I mentioned this
(08:06):
on the morning of nine to eleven and center Ted
Cruz and I also talked about this on our podcast
Verdict with Tech Cruise, and on the anniversary of nine
to eleven, he had a warning for the country about
the reality of the southern border. Listen, and I do
worry that we've lost some of that focus. You look
(08:26):
at the border now, we have a wide open border.
It was something that was talked about after nine to eleven.
You have a border that could allow any terrorists to
come across. Now that's the easiest way to get into
this country would be come across our southern border. And
I worry, and we've caught people on the terrast watch
list coming across our southern border. I worry that we
(08:47):
have forgotten the lessons of nine to eleven and what
security looks like we've done at the airports.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And we've kept that up.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Right, you go to the airport, I think most people
feel very secure when they fly the way that we've
changed the way that we do security.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
We have this wide open southern border.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Well listen listeners a verdict, I think played a real
role recently responding to the Biden Administration's attempt to take
the death penalty off the table for Khalid Sheik Muhammad
and the mastermind planners of nine to eleven. And we
devoted an entire podcast to exposing that, and I think
many people spoke out and we're outraged, and at least
(09:24):
right now it appears the Biden administration is backing away
from that. And so that was something significant that viewer listeners,
that Verdict listeners and viewers a difference that collectively we
made when it comes to the southern border. You're right,
we have a vulnerability on our southern border. Every month
people are coming across who are on the terror watch list.
(09:46):
The numbers dwarf the number of known terrorists who would
come in prior to Joe Biden. Joe Biden's open borders
are many things. They're an invitation for people to die,
and for cartel to brutalize children and to sexually assault women.
And they're an invitation to flood this country with narcotics
(10:07):
and fentanyl that's murdering over one hundred thousand people. And
they're an invitation for Mexican drug lords to become multi
multi billionaires globally. But it's also an invitation a terrorist.
If you are the next planner of nine to eleven,
it's obvious where you go. You go to Mexico and
(10:28):
you come right across, and Joe Biden and the idiots
in his administration will fly you to wherever you want
to go in this country and you can carry out
your terror attack. And sadly, every day that we have
an open border under Joe Biden the Democrats, the odds
of another major attack in this country, major terror attack,
go up systematically. They are exposing us. They are exposing vulnerabilities,
(10:55):
whether it is someone trying to hijack an airplane or
whether it is a SEU side bomber in a mall
or an amusement park or a concert or what have you.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
We are vulnerable to global terrorism because.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
This administration has thrown open the border and will not
protect us Center.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Ted Cruz is not just right because he is in
Texas and understands the border. He's right because the terrorist
watch list says so, the warnings that have come from
the FBI say so. Because we have known terrorists that
we've caught coming across an open southern border, and we're
not catching every single one of them. The question that
(11:40):
we should all be asking ourselves is, in fact, how
many of them are here right now? But let's just
pause on that part of the debacle of this nine
to eleven lack of caring from this White House. And
let's also go to something else. Joe Biden surrendered to
our enemies.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Nine eleven.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You may remember that we left Afghanistan for an artificial victory, right, Oh,
I'm the one that got us out of the longest
war in American history. Who cares who we left behind?
Who cares that we left American citizens behind Afghanistan? Who
cares he lied to the American people about it? Who
cares about all the people that helped the translators and others,
(12:22):
the family members who'd been tortured and raped and beheaded
and killed in the streets because they helped Americans, right,
helped the infidels during the war, when we hired them
and promised to get them out of the country and
keep them safe. If they helped us, they were hoping
you were going to cheer for them for that.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
They're the ones that ended the longest war. And so
twenty two years later, we're sitting here and we see
a president that doesn't make the time to commemorate. It
doesn't care that we gave that country back to our enemies,
doesn't care who we left behind that are going to
be that have and are still being brutally hunted down, murdered, killed, raped,
(13:04):
everything they can do to you. Doesn't care about the
fact that his vice president's comparing January the sixth to
what happened on nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
On the anniversary of nine to eleven.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
It's I mean, some wounds never heal fully, and the
wounds of nine to eleven never will. For so many,
I do remember that unity. I remember what it was
like to have the whole country pulling together, and it
lasted for a while. I mean, the irony to me
is I mean, it's epitomized by the fact that Joe
Biden is not at ground zero today. This was a
moment where it used to be a moment where people
(13:39):
put us out their differences and came together as a country.
And the president who promised to unite us is not there.
I actually don't mind the fact that he's not there
in a way because he and I say this with sadness,
because I think that we should respect the office regardless
of who the occupant is. But Joe Biden is the
president who's surrendered to the enemies who attacked us on
(14:00):
September eleven, two thousand and one, and did so with
dishonor because he left behind, knowingly left behind American citizens
in Afghanistan, after promising that he wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He you know, he.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
Told the Taliban offered to allow us to keep control
of Kabble, and he decided to put the security of
our men and women in uniform in the hands of
the Taliban and that Kani network, which is an aw
Kata link terrorist organization, and that resulted in the death
of thirteen Americans. And then he lied to the American
people repeatedly about it. He told them that no one
was having trouble getting into the airport, that al Kaeda
(14:34):
has gone from Afghanistan, that none of his military commanders
had recommended a residual force, and that it was an
extraordinary success. And so you know, people, you know, people
looked at that and were horrified by it. And so,
you know, I think a lot of the lack of
unity we have today is from the fact that you know,
this has been this is this, this moment is no
(14:55):
longer uniting because we had this great defeat two years
ago that that we had to absorb. And President Biden,
you know, I think he actually made the right decision
to stay away, probably not for the right reasons, but
it's probably better that he's not there now.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
There are legitimate questions now about the President not being
at these things, and maybe is that the White House
protecting him because he's so awkward now and he can't
stay focused, he can't keep his train of thought. A
great example of this is the White House actually turned
off Joe Biden's microphone after multiple gaffs and then he
(15:35):
started rambling during a press conference over in Asia. Listen
carefully to the president, you'll hear them actually turn his
mic off and then in essence play him off the
stage by over riding his mic by telling the people
the press conference is over while the president is still talking.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
We talked about we talked about it at the conference. Overall,
we talked about we talked about making sure that the
third world, the excuse me, third world, the southern hemisphere
had access to change, it had access to It wasn't
confrontational at all.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
Dobody desistoffice thinks everyone, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
And there's your music. People are yelling at him with
every person on that way, and.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Then he yells back at him and his MIC's been
turned off, and then he slowly walks off the stage
to that elevator music. That's your President of the United
States America in Hanois. The President of United States of
America can't even do his own press conference without his
own team shutting it down. Now, this is not a
(16:56):
moment that, by the way, the media is acting like
it didn't happen. Even CNN covered it this weekend. They
were in shock by this when they couldn't believe and
they referred to it as quote an awkward moment.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
For President Biden's trip to the G twenty in India
to meet with global leaders and a visit to Vietnam
to discuss a new strategic partnership. Biden spoke at a
press conference in Vietnam on Sunday, and it ended a
little abruptly.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
It wasn't confrontational at all.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Thank you everybody. This sends account press ofference. Thanks everyone
in thank you.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I love how CNN says it ended a little awkwardly.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
It ended a little abruptly in Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, you think, and look, maybe that's the reason why
the President United States America they just pulled the plug
on everything that deals with nine to eleven because why
would you why would you want to have this guy
there if he can't even handle his own press conference
in Hanoi. It's very clear now that the presence cognitive
(18:01):
decline is going to be a campaign issue.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And how do I know this? I'll tell you that
this is the other reason.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
On a Navarro in the View, they went into full
White House pit bull attack mode on the View defending
Joe Biden. And this is when you know things are
starting to get bad because even the View after she
said this, went into also starting to protect Kamwa Harris
(18:30):
in case she somehow.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Gets the job.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Listen, to on a Navarro though, claiming Joe Biden's age
is a non issue, which is clearly not what the
polls are now saying.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
Like it just felt like they had come together on
messaging and we haven't seen that quite yet.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Well, look, I think this is what Republicans have against
Biden because this administration has really gotten a ton of
very difficult bipartisan legislation through in a divided Congress, with
a very difficult Senate makeup of fifth by partisan Infrastructure Bill,
by partisan Safe Communities Act, first major gun legislation in decades,
(19:07):
US Innovation and Competition Act, bipartisan Climate, Healthcare and Tax Package,
Fiscal Responsibility Act, and the list is long. So what
do they need to focus on. They need to focus
on the undeniable. Joe Biden is old, and that's a
narrative that's been created to cause panic in people.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And then so what's the.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Second part of that narrative? Joe Biden is old and
Kamala Harris is unprepared? Now, when did it go on
with the rest of that, because you know there's another party. Yeah, Okay,
Joe Biden is old, but he ain't dying anytime soon.
I don't know if you guys saw him this weekend.
He was at the g twenty one. Moment I turned
on the TV, he was in India. Then I turned
on the TV. He was in Vietnam. Then I turned
(19:46):
on the TV. He was giving a press conference. And
then at the end of being up for like twenty
four hours, working in a completely.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
Different part of the world.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
He said, you know what, I got to go to bed.
While Republicans were all pounding on the fact that the
man who had been up for thirty I had to
go to bench.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Just watching him on TV.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
You know what I mean, This is amazing out of
our I had to go to bed just watching on TV.
By the way, if you look his actual schedule, it
was not that hard of a trip. They had more
than enough time for him to sleep in the schedule.
And they're sitting there they're like, Wow, you don't understand.
We saw him in different places around the world. I've
slept in between going to different countries. I've done it
quite a few times in my life. That's not an accomplishment.
(20:27):
The fact that they're acting like that is now some
sort of accomplishment tells you everything you need to know
about these idiots every day. There are two different economies
that are growing bigger and bigger. One of them is
powered by everyday Americans who are sick and tired of
all the wo propaganda being jammed into every product that
we're consuming.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Well, big mobile companies are no different.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
For years, they've been dumping millions and millions into leftist causes,
including planned parenthood. And you had to have a cell phone,
and that's the reason why you paid that bill, because
you didn't have an alternative.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Well guess what, Now there's an alternative. Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
They are America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and they
use your money to fight back. They offer you dependable
nationwide coverage on all three major networks, so you get
the best possible service in your area without the woke politics. Now,
when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you are sending a
loud message that you support free speech, religious freedom, the
(21:26):
sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, and our military veterans
and first responder heroes. They have one hundred percent US
based customer service team as well, so they make switching easy.

the offer code ferguson. Ask about their coverage guarantees while

Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or eight seven eight Patriot.
There's also something else that's happening. And it's not just
(22:09):
the fact that Democrats are really concerned now about Biden's
age and they're concerned about his incompetency. They're concerned about
the rambling, but now they're trying to figure out what's next.
There was two things that happen that are very telling. One,
there's an actual article that came out in the Hill
(22:31):
newspaper says the memo five Democratic alternatives of President Biden
exits the twenty twenty four race. Now, this came out
and I'm going to read part of it to you
in a moment, But it also is coming out at
the same time where many in the media are starting
to talk about what does it look like if we
do kick Joe Biden to the curb. Sonny Houston, who
(22:55):
is basically nothing more than a press secretary for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
She said this on the view as well. Listen, I
don't you know.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
What kind of is still strange to me? Why is
Kamala so dangerous?
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's why do you think.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
That's kind of offensive to me? And the other thing
is she's unprepared. Kamala Harris, by the way, was the
first woman elected DA of San Francisco, the first woman
to be Attorney General of California. She's the first female
vice president. She's been on the job doing a damn
good job, and I am so tired of people questioning
(23:34):
her qualifications. The woman is ready to lead if she
needs to lead. But I don't think Joe Biden's going
anywhere because I see him on his bike in Delaware.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I can't bite that much.
Speaker 10 (23:45):
And I mean he's fit. And let's compare the Republican
candidate who eat cheeseburgers and throws spaghetti at the wall.
I mean, is he prepared and died?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And for jurisdictions?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
People, Now, you couldn't see what I was watching when
that happened on TV, but this was clearly a pre
planned segment. It was obvious that this was pre planned
because Sonny kept looking down at her notes. She had
notes that she clearly had prepared to make the argument
for which you just heard. And this was not an
(24:20):
organic conversation. This was not a you know, it's interesting
you brought X Y and Z up and I really
want to talk about this. To be clear, this was
one hundred percent deliberately done on purpose. This was something
they made a conversation about, I'm sure in the back
room before the show and they're like, hey, I want
to go into you know, Joe Biden. We'll defend him,
(24:42):
but then also, let's float this idea about Kamala Harrison.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Let's defend her.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And she's like, all right, staff, get me some talking
points here. I need some good talking points for her.
Because she was looking down the entire time that she
was doing the analogies about her career and the accolades.
She didn't know any of that stuff from heart. This
was all scripted TV. And while this is happening, while
(25:11):
they're floating this idea that Okay, maybe we get rid
of Joe Biden, maybe it's time to say goodbye to
Joe Biden, like maybe this is the end of the
road for him, there was another op ed that also
came out over the weekend. And this is how you
know that the Democratic Party is really starting to float
this real quick to see if they can get their
act together. And could they even have a chance to
(25:34):
replace Joe Biden if they need to?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And would that be with Kamala Harris? Who else would
that be with? Right?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Who else would it be? This is the OpEd that
came out over the weekend. Hunter Biden could hand Donald
Trump the keys to the White House Poor America. It
may soon be easier to list the figures in American
public life who are not under indictment than those who are.
Most famously the article rights. Former President Donald Trump is
(26:02):
under for indictments ranging from hush money payments to election interference.
The most recent indictment from the Fulton County relates to
alleged attempts to overturn the twenty twenty election results in
the state of Georgia. Trump was charged along with eighteen others.
Despite all this and more, the former president remains the
front runner to be the Republican nominee for the twenty
(26:24):
twenty twenty four election that he will have to be
on the campaign trail only when he is not in
the courtroom, is a suboptimal situation for his party, to
say the least. So they're even admitting now in these
articles that this is a straight up election interference. They
have charged the president, former President Trump with crimes because
(26:45):
they know that that will then mean that he cannot
be on the campaign trail. He'll be stuck in a
courtroom defending himself making sure he doesn't go to prison
for the rest of his life over these bogus charges.
They're saying this to you, we're putting it in writing now.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But this week we learn that the grand jury in
Georgia also looked into indicting thirty nine other people, including
former senators and two sitting senators, among them Senior Republican
leader Lindsey Graham. The fact that the grand jury even
thought of this as extraordinary given Graham's only crime was
to question the integrity of mail in ballots, something which
(27:25):
many people did in twenty twenty because the unprecedented number
of these ballots during a COVID election. Besides which Democrats
have often complained about election interference whenever it suited them,
Senator Graham ended up being one of the most important
figures in the Republican Party to stand against Donald Trump's
claims of a stolen election, and after all this, a
(27:46):
grand jury wanted to indict him.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
The article reads.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Whenever anyone notes, as I just have that despite all this,
Trump remains the front runner, they question logically always follows,
how the hell it seems inconceivable to many outside of
America that a candidate could not just be running for
office but leading their party race by the highest possible
margins under such circumstances, What has gone wrong with the place?
(28:13):
Referring to America, the author rights, the answer is that
the indictments are actually helping Trump. When Democrats see the
former president's mugshot, as they recently got to do, perhaps
they equal some delight and their ultimate fantasy that it
might finally be coming true. Trump behind bars. But the
other half of the country reacts differently. Certainly, there are
(28:36):
many Republican voters who believe that the party needs to
move beyond Trump, But Republican voters in general do not
believe that Trump has been treated fairly, and that is correct.
They see Trump as he sees himself, as the victim
of a political witch hunt, as the indictments build up,
the support for Trump among the GOP base has actually
(28:58):
solidified and also gone. Many Americans on both sides of
the aisle simply no longer believe that Lady Justice is blind.
They believe the legal system, like almost every other institutionist country,
is woefully politicized, and that it has become a political
weapon of choice, a weapon currently being used to take
(29:19):
out the former president and prevent him from running in
twenty twenty four. Of all the things that presently persuade
Republican voters is this fact. The sorest point of contention
remains a subject of Hunter Biden, the current President's son.
To many Americans, as well as those outside of America,
the case of Hunter Biden is background noise. This is
(29:39):
perhaps because in twenty twenty, when The New York Post
obtained and then published some of the contents of Hunter
Biden's purported laptop, the country's oldest newspaper had a social
media account throttled. What many, including one former acting director
of the CIA, will view as a concerted campaign of disinformation.
(30:00):
Was then coordinated by now Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln
and more than fifty former intelligence agents, along with Twitter
Facebook and parts of the media and others in America elite.
They contributed to the effective suppression and discrediting of the
Post story. Even today, many intelligence well informed Democratic voters
(30:22):
can remain totally ignorant about the contents of the laptop.
For this reason, some have a vague idea that there
was we're embarrassing photographs on the laptop, But because there
has been such a blackout of the story, few are
as fully versed as Republican voters about why the laptop
is actually so important. The reason is that its contents
(30:44):
allegedly show hunter Biden engaged in multiple influence pedaling operations,
in other words, profiting from his connections to receive vast
payments from among other countries, including China and Ukraine. Now
I read you this so that you understand something's happening
right now. Democrats are concerned that Joe Biden may actually lose.
(31:10):
Democrats are concerned about his cognitive decline. Democrats are concerned
about the embarrassment of him being on stage and then
his own staff shutting his microphone off and playing him
off that stage. They're concerned about his screw ups. Even
on the anniversary of nine to eleven, and they're certainly
concerned about Kamala Harris being the heir apparent to the throne.
(31:31):
They don't like her either, just so you know, So
what does this mean. It means they're now talking and
floating and looking at these other ideas of other candidates.
And that's why you're going to start seeing more and
more of these articles. They are going to be written
and people are going to be throwing more names out
there in the coming days and weeks because Democrats are
(31:53):
now truly afraid they may actually lose to Donald Trump.
Makes you share this podcast with your family and your friends. Ends,
and I will see you back here tomorrow
Leave it to this White House to screw up nine
to eleven. The President of the United States of America
is the leader of this country, and on nine to eleven,
he has a simple job to do, remember what happened
on this anniversary and make sure everyone else remembers and
that we never forget what was done to us on
(00:22):
nine to eleven. Yet Kamala Harris and Joe Biden somehow
figured out a way to screw it up. The White
House now playing defense is somehow they figured out how
to screw it up by using a Pearl Harbor analogy
to defend Joe Biden missing the nine to eleven commemoration
(00:45):
Twenty two years after Pearl Harbor. They said US presidents
were still not going to visit Hawaii. That is the
excuse for the president. Now I'm not joking missing the
nine to eleven commemoration.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Listen to this.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Focus the last couple days has been on President Biden
here in South Asia. And when I asked the White
House official why it is that President Biden was here
and missing the nine to eleven commemorations at the attack sites,
the analogy that I was given is that twenty two
years after Pearl Harbor. US presidents were not still going
to visit Hawaii. That said, the whole point of this
(01:24):
trip appeared to be countering China. Everything that we were
told ahead of it, they were going to come here
to try to counter Chinese influence in the region. But
when we finally heard from President Biden, he told us
the exact opposite.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
It strips about it was less about containing China. I
don't want to contain China. We're not looking to herd
China of Sasui. We're all better off if China does well.
I want to see China succeed economically. I don't want
to see succeed by the rules.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
So polite chat about China consumed the very short Q
and A, which went a whole twenty six minutes until
the Press secretary announced off stage the event was over
and music played the president off.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Now I'm going to get to the whole president being
played off stage in a moment, because that was incredibly
embarrassing just to watch the world see a president who
is clearly treated like he is an incompetent, elderly human
being that cannot end a press conference. And the worst
part is this was on the world stage. Now, there
(02:36):
was already rumblings coming out of the summit that he
did not do well at the summit. Whether that's true
or not, I don't really know, because only the people
in the room, But I would assume it's fairly accurate
based on the fact that most people there are pretty
darn liberal and actually like Joe Biden being the President
of the United States of America. But when you use
(02:58):
this White House diminishing the anniversary of nine eleven, saying hey,
it's so big deal that the President didn't come back
for you know, to commemorate nine to eleven, and then saying, well,
it's not like President's twenty two years after Pearl Harbor.
We're still going to visit Hawaii, Like that's their analogy.
That's how little they think of this anniversary of nine
to eleven and what just happened. Rudy Giuliani, by the way,
(03:22):
America's mayor. He responded also to something else that was shocking,
which is the Vice President Harris comparing nine to eleven
to January the sixth. This is how bad she's screwed
it up. So it's not just Biden that's screwed it up.
By missing the whole thing. It's also the fact now
(03:46):
that you have Kamala Harris who's out there as the
Vice president, and she's comparing January the sixth to nine
to eleven, which I guess fits the narrative right that
all those people on January the sixth ran around the Capitol,
they're all jihadi terrorists.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Take a listen to this from Giuliani.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
There is something seriously wrong with her. You know, we
failed to take a good look of what was seriously
wrong with Biden and uncally, God, there's something seriously wrong
with Kambel Harris. Those language soup that she engages in,
which almost is like a five year old speaking, and
that's not normal. To try to compare January sixth to
(04:31):
September eleven. I mean, how do you even seriously do that?
Three thousand people just about died on September eleven could
be another three thousand pretty much pretty soon with the
illnesses thereafterward. I think we're at about two thousand, seven
hundred and thirty four right now. People would die in
(04:54):
every day of related illnesses. It was a direct attack
on the United States of America by a foreign enemy.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So you look at nine to eleven.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
You look at this anniversary, and the message coming from
the White House is, how dare you expect the President
of the United States of America to show up on
the anniversary nine eleven? We didn't do it in Hawaii
after Pearl Harbor right twenty one, twenty two years later,
so you know.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Get over it.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
And then you have the Vice President who is actually
in essence, filling in for the President while he's overseas
because he's not here for this, and she then compares
nine to eleven to January sixth. Now, the White House
understood they screwed up pretty quick because social media was
(05:44):
letting the White House have it for the fact that
the President's like nowhere to be found on nine to eleven, right, like,
where is he?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Why is he doing something? Wise?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
He involved? This is the president United States of America.
What the hell are you doing? And so then they
got the president to try to fix it.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
The only problem was Joe Biden didn't fix it.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Now I'm going to read for you the transcript because
there's some mumbling here and I want you to understand
what he says before I play it for you. Biden
says this, okay, he's at a meeting, he's overseas, and
he's trying to I guess they were wanting him to
fix this problem. The narrative here that he didn't care.
(06:25):
And this is what Biden said, thank you for your
sentiment and concern for those we lost on nine to eleven.
He's referring to the other world leaders he's sitting with.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I will be.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Going from here to Alaska to speak to several thousand
of our troops in Alaska because I'm not going to
be able to get back to the site where it occurred.
Every year, I'm usually at one of the sites where
that act, where the terrorists act occurred. But you were
(06:55):
generous to think of us. So the President saying, Okay, well,
I'm going to do something. It's going to be in
Alaska because I don't have time to go to the
site where the terrorist actually struck.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
So uh.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But but but we're we're we're going to backfill this
and check a box and we'll be in Alaska in stead.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Concern for.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Lost going from here to Alaska to thousand.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
He's closing his eyes and mumbling, Now, I gave you
the transcript of what the White House says he says,
I don't think he actually said that.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
At the end.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
There was so much mumbling there it was, and he's
closing his eyes. He's clearly confused. So this is the
President United States of America on nine to eleven. Now,
I bring all this up to also say something else,
and that is the issue of our open border and
the problem we have right now with our open border,
especially in light of nine to eleven. I mentioned this
(08:06):
on the morning of nine to eleven and center Ted
Cruz and I also talked about this on our podcast
Verdict with Tech Cruise, and on the anniversary of nine
to eleven, he had a warning for the country about
the reality of the southern border. Listen, and I do
worry that we've lost some of that focus. You look
(08:26):
at the border now, we have a wide open border.
It was something that was talked about after nine to eleven.
You have a border that could allow any terrorists to
come across. Now that's the easiest way to get into
this country would be come across our southern border. And
I worry, and we've caught people on the terrast watch
list coming across our southern border. I worry that we
(08:47):
have forgotten the lessons of nine to eleven and what
security looks like we've done at the airports.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And we've kept that up.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Right, you go to the airport, I think most people
feel very secure when they fly the way that we've
changed the way that we do security.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
We have this wide open southern border.
Speaker 7 (09:02):
Well listen listeners a verdict, I think played a real
role recently responding to the Biden Administration's attempt to take
the death penalty off the table for Khalid Sheik Muhammad
and the mastermind planners of nine to eleven. And we
devoted an entire podcast to exposing that, and I think
many people spoke out and we're outraged, and at least
(09:24):
right now it appears the Biden administration is backing away
from that. And so that was something significant that viewer listeners,
that Verdict listeners and viewers a difference that collectively we
made when it comes to the southern border. You're right,
we have a vulnerability on our southern border. Every month
people are coming across who are on the terror watch list.
(09:46):
The numbers dwarf the number of known terrorists who would
come in prior to Joe Biden. Joe Biden's open borders
are many things. They're an invitation for people to die,
and for cartel to brutalize children and to sexually assault women.
And they're an invitation to flood this country with narcotics
(10:07):
and fentanyl that's murdering over one hundred thousand people. And
they're an invitation for Mexican drug lords to become multi
multi billionaires globally. But it's also an invitation a terrorist.
If you are the next planner of nine to eleven,
it's obvious where you go. You go to Mexico and
(10:28):
you come right across, and Joe Biden and the idiots
in his administration will fly you to wherever you want
to go in this country and you can carry out
your terror attack. And sadly, every day that we have
an open border under Joe Biden the Democrats, the odds
of another major attack in this country, major terror attack,
go up systematically. They are exposing us. They are exposing vulnerabilities,
(10:55):
whether it is someone trying to hijack an airplane or
whether it is a SEU side bomber in a mall
or an amusement park or a concert or what have you.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
We are vulnerable to global terrorism because.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
This administration has thrown open the border and will not
protect us Center.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Ted Cruz is not just right because he is in
Texas and understands the border. He's right because the terrorist
watch list says so, the warnings that have come from
the FBI say so. Because we have known terrorists that
we've caught coming across an open southern border, and we're
not catching every single one of them. The question that
(11:40):
we should all be asking ourselves is, in fact, how
many of them are here right now? But let's just
pause on that part of the debacle of this nine
to eleven lack of caring from this White House. And
let's also go to something else. Joe Biden surrendered to
our enemies.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Nine eleven.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You may remember that we left Afghanistan for an artificial victory, right, Oh,
I'm the one that got us out of the longest
war in American history. Who cares who we left behind?
Who cares that we left American citizens behind Afghanistan? Who
cares he lied to the American people about it? Who
cares about all the people that helped the translators and others,
(12:22):
the family members who'd been tortured and raped and beheaded
and killed in the streets because they helped Americans, right,
helped the infidels during the war, when we hired them
and promised to get them out of the country and
keep them safe. If they helped us, they were hoping
you were going to cheer for them for that.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Right.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
They're the ones that ended the longest war. And so
twenty two years later, we're sitting here and we see
a president that doesn't make the time to commemorate. It
doesn't care that we gave that country back to our enemies,
doesn't care who we left behind that are going to
be that have and are still being brutally hunted down, murdered, killed, raped,
(13:04):
everything they can do to you. Doesn't care about the
fact that his vice president's comparing January the sixth to
what happened on nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
On the anniversary of nine to eleven.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
It's I mean, some wounds never heal fully, and the
wounds of nine to eleven never will. For so many,
I do remember that unity. I remember what it was
like to have the whole country pulling together, and it
lasted for a while. I mean, the irony to me
is I mean, it's epitomized by the fact that Joe
Biden is not at ground zero today. This was a
moment where it used to be a moment where people
(13:39):
put us out their differences and came together as a country.
And the president who promised to unite us is not there.
I actually don't mind the fact that he's not there
in a way because he and I say this with sadness,
because I think that we should respect the office regardless
of who the occupant is. But Joe Biden is the
president who's surrendered to the enemies who attacked us on
(14:00):
September eleven, two thousand and one, and did so with
dishonor because he left behind, knowingly left behind American citizens
in Afghanistan, after promising that he wouldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
He you know, he.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
Told the Taliban offered to allow us to keep control
of Kabble, and he decided to put the security of
our men and women in uniform in the hands of
the Taliban and that Kani network, which is an aw
Kata link terrorist organization, and that resulted in the death
of thirteen Americans. And then he lied to the American
people repeatedly about it. He told them that no one
was having trouble getting into the airport, that al Kaeda
(14:34):
has gone from Afghanistan, that none of his military commanders
had recommended a residual force, and that it was an
extraordinary success. And so you know, people, you know, people
looked at that and were horrified by it. And so,
you know, I think a lot of the lack of
unity we have today is from the fact that you know,
this has been this is this, this moment is no
(14:55):
longer uniting because we had this great defeat two years
ago that that we had to absorb. And President Biden,
you know, I think he actually made the right decision
to stay away, probably not for the right reasons, but
it's probably better that he's not there now.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
There are legitimate questions now about the President not being
at these things, and maybe is that the White House
protecting him because he's so awkward now and he can't
stay focused, he can't keep his train of thought. A
great example of this is the White House actually turned
off Joe Biden's microphone after multiple gaffs and then he
(15:35):
started rambling during a press conference over in Asia. Listen
carefully to the president, you'll hear them actually turn his
mic off and then in essence play him off the
stage by over riding his mic by telling the people
the press conference is over while the president is still talking.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
We talked about we talked about it at the conference. Overall,
we talked about we talked about making sure that the
third world, the excuse me, third world, the southern hemisphere
had access to change, it had access to It wasn't
confrontational at all.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
Dobody desistoffice thinks everyone, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
And there's your music. People are yelling at him with
every person on that way, and.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Then he yells back at him and his MIC's been
turned off, and then he slowly walks off the stage
to that elevator music. That's your President of the United
States America in Hanois. The President of United States of
America can't even do his own press conference without his
own team shutting it down. Now, this is not a
(16:56):
moment that, by the way, the media is acting like
it didn't happen. Even CNN covered it this weekend. They
were in shock by this when they couldn't believe and
they referred to it as quote an awkward moment.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
For President Biden's trip to the G twenty in India
to meet with global leaders and a visit to Vietnam
to discuss a new strategic partnership. Biden spoke at a
press conference in Vietnam on Sunday, and it ended a
little abruptly.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
It wasn't confrontational at all.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Thank you everybody. This sends account press ofference. Thanks everyone
in thank you.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I love how CNN says it ended a little awkwardly.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
It ended a little abruptly in Vietnam.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, you think, and look, maybe that's the reason why
the President United States America they just pulled the plug
on everything that deals with nine to eleven because why
would you why would you want to have this guy
there if he can't even handle his own press conference
in Hanoi. It's very clear now that the presence cognitive
(18:01):
decline is going to be a campaign issue.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
And how do I know this? I'll tell you that
this is the other reason.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
On a Navarro in the View, they went into full
White House pit bull attack mode on the View defending
Joe Biden. And this is when you know things are
starting to get bad because even the View after she
said this, went into also starting to protect Kamwa Harris
(18:30):
in case she somehow.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Gets the job.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Listen, to on a Navarro though, claiming Joe Biden's age
is a non issue, which is clearly not what the
polls are now saying.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
Like it just felt like they had come together on
messaging and we haven't seen that quite yet.
Speaker 9 (18:44):
Well, look, I think this is what Republicans have against
Biden because this administration has really gotten a ton of
very difficult bipartisan legislation through in a divided Congress, with
a very difficult Senate makeup of fifth by partisan Infrastructure Bill,
by partisan Safe Communities Act, first major gun legislation in decades,
(19:07):
US Innovation and Competition Act, bipartisan Climate, Healthcare and Tax Package,
Fiscal Responsibility Act, and the list is long. So what
do they need to focus on. They need to focus
on the undeniable. Joe Biden is old, and that's a
narrative that's been created to cause panic in people.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
And then so what's the.
Speaker 9 (19:24):
Second part of that narrative? Joe Biden is old and
Kamala Harris is unprepared? Now, when did it go on
with the rest of that, because you know there's another party. Yeah, Okay,
Joe Biden is old, but he ain't dying anytime soon.
I don't know if you guys saw him this weekend.
He was at the g twenty one. Moment I turned
on the TV, he was in India. Then I turned
on the TV. He was in Vietnam. Then I turned
(19:46):
on the TV. He was giving a press conference. And
then at the end of being up for like twenty
four hours, working in a completely.
Speaker 10 (19:53):
Different part of the world.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
He said, you know what, I got to go to bed.
While Republicans were all pounding on the fact that the
man who had been up for thirty I had to
go to bench.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Just watching him on TV.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
You know what I mean, This is amazing out of
our I had to go to bed just watching on TV.
By the way, if you look his actual schedule, it
was not that hard of a trip. They had more
than enough time for him to sleep in the schedule.
And they're sitting there they're like, Wow, you don't understand.
We saw him in different places around the world. I've
slept in between going to different countries. I've done it
quite a few times in my life. That's not an accomplishment.
(20:27):
The fact that they're acting like that is now some
sort of accomplishment tells you everything you need to know
about these idiots every day. There are two different economies
that are growing bigger and bigger. One of them is
powered by everyday Americans who are sick and tired of
all the wo propaganda being jammed into every product that
we're consuming.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Well, big mobile companies are no different.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
For years, they've been dumping millions and millions into leftist causes,
including planned parenthood. And you had to have a cell phone,
and that's the reason why you paid that bill, because
you didn't have an alternative.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Well guess what, Now there's an alternative. Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
They are America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and they
use your money to fight back. They offer you dependable
nationwide coverage on all three major networks, so you get
the best possible service in your area without the woke politics. Now,
when you switch to Patriot Mobile, you are sending a
loud message that you support free speech, religious freedom, the
(21:26):
sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, and our military veterans
and first responder heroes. They have one hundred percent US

Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or eight seven eight Patriot.
There's also something else that's happening. And it's not just
(22:09):
the fact that Democrats are really concerned now about Biden's
age and they're concerned about his incompetency. They're concerned about
the rambling, but now they're trying to figure out what's next.
There was two things that happen that are very telling. One,
there's an actual article that came out in the Hill
(22:31):
newspaper says the memo five Democratic alternatives of President Biden
exits the twenty twenty four race. Now, this came out
and I'm going to read part of it to you
in a moment, But it also is coming out at
the same time where many in the media are starting
to talk about what does it look like if we
do kick Joe Biden to the curb. Sonny Houston, who
(22:55):
is basically nothing more than a press secretary for Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
She said this on the view as well. Listen, I
don't you know.
Speaker 10 (23:03):
What kind of is still strange to me? Why is
Kamala so dangerous?
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's why do you think.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
That's kind of offensive to me? And the other thing
is she's unprepared. Kamala Harris, by the way, was the
first woman elected DA of San Francisco, the first woman
to be Attorney General of California. She's the first female
vice president. She's been on the job doing a damn
good job, and I am so tired of people questioning
(23:34):
her qualifications. The woman is ready to lead if she
needs to lead. But I don't think Joe Biden's going
anywhere because I see him on his bike in Delaware.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
I can't bite that much.
Speaker 10 (23:45):
And I mean he's fit. And let's compare the Republican
candidate who eat cheeseburgers and throws spaghetti at the wall.
I mean, is he prepared and died?
Speaker 2 (23:55):
And for jurisdictions?
Speaker 1 (23:57):
People, Now, you couldn't see what I was watching when
that happened on TV, but this was clearly a pre
planned segment. It was obvious that this was pre planned
because Sonny kept looking down at her notes. She had
notes that she clearly had prepared to make the argument
for which you just heard. And this was not an
(24:20):
organic conversation. This was not a you know, it's interesting
you brought X Y and Z up and I really
want to talk about this. To be clear, this was
one hundred percent deliberately done on purpose. This was something
they made a conversation about, I'm sure in the back
room before the show and they're like, hey, I want
to go into you know, Joe Biden. We'll defend him,
(24:42):
but then also, let's float this idea about Kamala Harrison.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Let's defend her.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
And she's like, all right, staff, get me some talking
points here. I need some good talking points for her.
Because she was looking down the entire time that she
was doing the analogies about her career and the accolades.
She didn't know any of that stuff from heart. This
was all scripted TV. And while this is happening, while
(25:11):
they're floating this idea that Okay, maybe we get rid
of Joe Biden, maybe it's time to say goodbye to
Joe Biden, like maybe this is the end of the
road for him, there was another op ed that also
came out over the weekend. And this is how you
know that the Democratic Party is really starting to float
this real quick to see if they can get their
act together. And could they even have a chance to
(25:34):
replace Joe Biden if they need to?
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And would that be with Kamala Harris? Who else would
that be with? Right?
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Who else would it be? This is the OpEd that
came out over the weekend. Hunter Biden could hand Donald
Trump the keys to the White House Poor America. It
may soon be easier to list the figures in American
public life who are not under indictment than those who are.
Most famously the article rights. Former President Donald Trump is
(26:02):
under for indictments ranging from hush money payments to election interference.
The most recent indictment from the Fulton County relates to
alleged attempts to overturn the twenty twenty election results in
the state of Georgia. Trump was charged along with eighteen others.
Despite all this and more, the former president remains the
front runner to be the Republican nominee for the twenty
(26:24):
twenty twenty four election that he will have to be
on the campaign trail only when he is not in
the courtroom, is a suboptimal situation for his party, to
say the least. So they're even admitting now in these
articles that this is a straight up election interference. They
have charged the president, former President Trump with crimes because
(26:45):
they know that that will then mean that he cannot
be on the campaign trail. He'll be stuck in a
courtroom defending himself making sure he doesn't go to prison
for the rest of his life over these bogus charges.
They're saying this to you, we're putting it in writing now.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But this week we learn that the grand jury in
Georgia also looked into indicting thirty nine other people, including
former senators and two sitting senators, among them Senior Republican
leader Lindsey Graham. The fact that the grand jury even
thought of this as extraordinary given Graham's only crime was
to question the integrity of mail in ballots, something which
(27:25):
many people did in twenty twenty because the unprecedented number
of these ballots during a COVID election. Besides which Democrats
have often complained about election interference whenever it suited them,
Senator Graham ended up being one of the most important
figures in the Republican Party to stand against Donald Trump's
claims of a stolen election, and after all this, a
(27:46):
grand jury wanted to indict him.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
The article reads.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Whenever anyone notes, as I just have that despite all this,
Trump remains the front runner, they question logically always follows,
how the hell it seems inconceivable to many outside of
America that a candidate could not just be running for
office but leading their party race by the highest possible
margins under such circumstances, What has gone wrong with the place?
(28:13):
Referring to America, the author rights, the answer is that
the indictments are actually helping Trump. When Democrats see the
former president's mugshot, as they recently got to do, perhaps
they equal some delight and their ultimate fantasy that it
might finally be coming true. Trump behind bars. But the
other half of the country reacts differently. Certainly, there are
(28:36):
many Republican voters who believe that the party needs to
move beyond Trump, But Republican voters in general do not
believe that Trump has been treated fairly, and that is correct.
They see Trump as he sees himself, as the victim
of a political witch hunt, as the indictments build up,
the support for Trump among the GOP base has actually
(28:58):
solidified and also gone. Many Americans on both sides of
the aisle simply no longer believe that Lady Justice is blind.
They believe the legal system, like almost every other institutionist country,
is woefully politicized, and that it has become a political
weapon of choice, a weapon currently being used to take
(29:19):
out the former president and prevent him from running in
twenty twenty four. Of all the things that presently persuade
Republican voters is this fact. The sorest point of contention
remains a subject of Hunter Biden, the current President's son.
To many Americans, as well as those outside of America,
the case of Hunter Biden is background noise. This is
(29:39):
perhaps because in twenty twenty, when The New York Post
obtained and then published some of the contents of Hunter
Biden's purported laptop, the country's oldest newspaper had a social
media account throttled. What many, including one former acting director
of the CIA, will view as a concerted campaign of disinformation.
(30:00):
Was then coordinated by now Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln
and more than fifty former intelligence agents, along with Twitter
Facebook and parts of the media and others in America elite.
They contributed to the effective suppression and discrediting of the
Post story. Even today, many intelligence well informed Democratic voters
(30:22):
can remain totally ignorant about the contents of the laptop.
For this reason, some have a vague idea that there
was we're embarrassing photographs on the laptop, But because there
has been such a blackout of the story, few are
as fully versed as Republican voters about why the laptop
is actually so important. The reason is that its contents
(30:44):
allegedly show hunter Biden engaged in multiple influence pedaling operations,
in other words, profiting from his connections to receive vast
payments from among other countries, including China and Ukraine. Now
I read you this so that you understand something's happening
right now. Democrats are concerned that Joe Biden may actually lose.
(31:10):
Democrats are concerned about his cognitive decline. Democrats are concerned
about the embarrassment of him being on stage and then
his own staff shutting his microphone off and playing him
off that stage. They're concerned about his screw ups. Even
on the anniversary of nine to eleven, and they're certainly
concerned about Kamala Harris being the heir apparent to the throne.
(31:31):
They don't like her either, just so you know, So
what does this mean. It means they're now talking and
floating and looking at these other ideas of other candidates.
And that's why you're going to start seeing more and
more of these articles. They are going to be written
and people are going to be throwing more names out
there in the coming days and weeks because Democrats are
(31:53):
now truly afraid they may actually lose to Donald Trump.
