but better late than never. Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Two three starting your morning off right, A.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
New way of talk, a new way of understanding, because
we're in this to get.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Joiner tomorrow
on the broadcast tennse Gavant.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
How would the Book for the Love of Country leave
the Democrat Party behind? Is Simon and Schusta No, Telsey
Gabber will be joining us tomorrow six oh five Central,
seven oh five Eastern. Can't wait to meet her by phone.
Can't wait to share that visit with her. The change
and the shift of the Democrat Party and the portion
(00:59):
of a it's taken with it, and certainly the death
of journalism along with it, is central to writing this course.
I got this meme. We were talking earlier about how
memes are incredible and say it all. This meme said
as a woman on the phone, looking kind of urgent.
It says, can't today. I'm busy watching the season finale
of the United States. So we do have this sense
(01:24):
of panic. You know, I'm sensing it in emails and
on social media. Are you kidding me? Kamala Harris is
winning in the polls. Kamala Harris, this buffoon's gonna be
I'll take Hillary over Kamala Harris. America can't be this
and it starts feeling like a twilight zone. You're about to.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound,
but of mind, a journey into the wondrous lend of imagination.
And next up, Kamala Land.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Do you know, okay, a bit of a history lesson.
Do you know that women were not the women's teams
were not allowed to have brackets until twenty twenty two?
Think about that and what that talk about progress, you know,
better late than ever, but progress and what that has
done because of course, when you know I had a bracket,
(02:16):
it's not broken completely.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
But I won't talk about my bracket.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
But you know what, just how we love we love
march madness and even just now allowing the women to
have brackets and what that does to encourage people to
talk more about the women's teams, to watch them. Now
they're being covered, you know, And this is the reality.
People used to say, oh women's sports, who's interested?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well, if you as.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Part of our culture, yes, we wear those notorious big
T shirts with a lot of pride. But since she passed,
there are parents reminding their children that sometimes people will
open the door for you.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I got to cut that one off because she says
a bad word. I mean, all right, look, I think
it's a wave of narrative. I think it has a
shelf life. In fact, I'll go so far as to
say it all feels so fast, so choreographed, so suspicious.
(03:18):
It almost makes me wonder do they wanted a rise
real fast so that you can fall before the convention?
Or careful what you ask for. If she's it, you
got it. They got their candidate. Do the Republicans have there?
It's Chris Walker is a Republican consultant analyst, joining us
as he has on several occasions. Due to the convention
(03:38):
and then the breaking news on Monday, do you really
let me ask? Let me start with last week's question,
do you really still think, Kamala Harris.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
Is it good morning, Michael.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I think it seems to be pushing that way, but
your point is valid. I have thought it myself. I
think there's just enough of an escape bealve for that
them to pull a convention that they can They can
do that if they need to, and they've been obviously
shown that they're willing to.
Speaker 5 (04:06):
So you know this, this is this is a test
run for her.
Speaker 6 (04:09):
I mean, yes, the delegates are there, but the delegates
aren't bound, so they could switch and change as they
see fit on the convention floor.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
If people are not with them, but if people are
reacting to this narrative, this wave of narrative, all of
a sudden, she's the jolly good fellow. Everybody loves her.
What happened to She's the only thing the tests worse
than Joe Biden.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
She didn't.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
She's the only that does worse against Donald Trump than
Joe Biden. Now, all of a sudden, all of their
politicians are united behind her, all the money's transferred to her,
all the delegates are and only Black Lives Matter speaking
up saying are you kidding me this? We need to
create a process that allows the public participation in this
(04:51):
nomination process, not a nomination by party delegates, by party officials.
This is all a game being played by Podesta. So
you had the shadow campaign to save the Democracy to
steal things from Donald Trump. Now you have the shadow
campaign to save the Democrat Party from Democrat voters and
give you Kamala Harris. If Black Lives Matter gets at
this early, I think a lot of other voters are
(05:12):
going to get it very soon.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I think that's right. I mean, she's going to have
a you know.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
The thing that's interesting is is that she has a
short shelf life, but she also has a short window
to the election. So he only has to last one
hundred days and it's possible. But you know, all of
these all of the GOP apparatus going out there, reminding
everyone of her radical left positions and why she was
the first Penance to have dropped out of the primary
(05:38):
in twenty twenty before even the Iowa caucuses, is a
good reminder at her lack of political talented skill.
Speaker 5 (05:46):
You know. But let's not forget. I mean, they would
be riding with Joe Biden.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
If the numbers were not so evident that he was
going to lose and if Kamala Harris continues on that
tra trajectory of you know, again guaranteed laws. You know,
we've seen the Democrats being willing to pull the ripcord again.
If they have to, they'll do it again. They have
time before convention to do it. And if she fails
(06:10):
in this task, which she very likely will, I certainly
see it potential for another candidate coming up at convention.
Obamas have not endorsed her, well, a lot of the
machine has not endorsed her. And so you know, there's
there's still yes, yes, delegates just yes, stay party stuff.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
But they can be moved. We've seen that over the
last week.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
So let's not just assume that this is a done deal.
I wouldn't, but I mean, I think it seems to
be set up that way, but I would not be
surprised if something changes.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
The same that moved Joe out of the way, Well,
the same that hid Joe and then moved Joe out
of the way and then moved Kamala in can take
it away as well and move another rid. In twenty twenty,
it was hide Joe in a basement, control the narratives,
weaponized COVID change election laws, and you know they get it,
(06:57):
but the marriage that was created is relevant to today.
They put Joe from the Obama apparatus with Kamala who
was the first one out in the primary, and she's
the Clinton candidate. That's the only thing more unlikable than
Hillary Clinton. But that was to appease the two two
term presidencies and machines. Well, as soon as you push
(07:20):
Joe aside and bring in Kamala, immediately, the Clinton's come
out because that's their girl and endorse it. The Obamas
did not. In fact, Black Lives Matter in their statement
uses almost the exact same words as Barack Obama, that
this must be a process, not a nomination by party officials,
(07:42):
but a process with the voters. Something tells me they're
on the same page and probably coordinated. This could get
ugly in a hurry.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
As for her, you don't have much to run on.
In fact, if the two biggest issues are still the
economy and the border, that's trouble. She was the borders
are She's okay if she stays on teleprompter, But off teleprompter,
she's as bad as Joe. And man, I don't have
to tell you that this could get ugly really fast.
(08:11):
And I suspect just as they put Joe in the
forefront to fall, they're going to give her a lot
of forefront and if she doesn't fall, they'll go with her.
But if she falls, they'll make the switch before the
convention and they avoid the whole bypassing her a woman
and race. I mean, to me, it looks obvious, but
I'm kind of used to following their shenanigans exactly.
Speaker 6 (08:33):
I mean, all of this is way too fast in
a sense of the you know, you and I talked
about this for a couple of weeks that if they
did pull the switch arooo, like the onslaught of the
media trying to tell us, you know, that she's the
best thing since sly spread, it would come.
Speaker 5 (08:51):
I didn't think it would be this.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
Effuse of this quickly, but you know, they have to.
They have to try to build her up as quickly
as possible to try to try to put forward a
candidate because their primary focus.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Is to beat Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
And so they're that this is the marching orders and
the talking points that they've received from on high.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
They're going to go out of march out and do it.
You know, well, we'll see.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
I think she's a candidate. I think she is a flawed,
you know, party head. She's obviously not a leader, and
you know, I think that will kind of bear itself
out when you compare her to Donald Trump. You know,
here's here's someone who's who protects strength and and you know,
resolve versus you know, vacillation and you know, following orders.
(09:38):
So you know, the choice is clear and the contracts
are clear on that front.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
But you know they're going to do everything.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
They can over the next two weeks to try to
kind of force feed to the American public that Kamala
is worthy of being president. She is not, And I
don't think people are to buy it. And there needs
to be a skepticism because again, this is the same
machine and media complex that has been lying to the
American people for four years about Joe Biden and decades
before that about so many other things that just the
(10:05):
veneerest come off. That people need to realize that and
what they're seeing isn't real.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I will acknowledge this. If you're Kamala Harris and you
were the first one out, the first loser of the
primary process in twenty twenty isn't this nice. You didn't
do anything, and you didn't have to run a primary,
you didn't even have to win a vote, and you're
coronated and you're in. Well, that's good for her, I
get that, But only narratives really truly moved this fast.
It's not a real momentum swing yet. So everybody hold
(10:31):
tight and don't be disheartened and lose heart. We're visiting
with them. Chris Walker, Republican consultant and analyst. All Right,
if assuming it's Kamala and they got their person, I
think it's safe to say that Donald Trump and Republicans
wanted Joe Biden in his present state. Is Kamala the
next best?
Speaker 5 (10:48):
Oh? Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 6 (10:49):
I mean you've seen they're obviously there's polling before the
coronation of you know that she was their weakest general
action Canada, And I do think there are a lot
of these Canadas who you know, are stronger than her.
Are their purpose of sitting it out because I think
they still see the fundamentals of this race leaning towards Trump,
(11:11):
And you know, let the poison Chalice go.
Speaker 5 (11:13):
To Kamala and we'll hand we'll we'll.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
Kind of look to twenty eight, when the when the
politicals will be a lot more favorable to them, you know,
because let's let's be honest, like she's part of the
Biden administration. She cannot credibly distance herself from all of
the failures who've seen in the last four years, which
were Joe Biden's failures.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
They are the same.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
What does that?
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Let me let me interrupt it ask probably to remind
people of that.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Let's dout it this way. Let me interrupt and ask
you this question. What does Kamala Harris bring to the
electoral college map?
Speaker 5 (11:45):
The map? Nothing?
Speaker 6 (11:46):
I mean, the only thing she brings is a more
capable physical presidence and what everyone knew that Joe Biden
just couldn't do the job.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Right, So there's your answer, right, The map is the problem,
all right, and she brings nothing, So you have to
make it make sense. The VP running mate is almost
more important than her. You can't go Gretchen Miller, which
would bring you Michigan. Then you got two women. I
don't think they going to roll those dice. You want
to get Pennsylvania because there's no path without Pennsylvania. But
Joshapiro is Jewish, and I if Coma can't preside over
(12:17):
bb net Ya, who's joint Session of Congress. She can't
get that close and put somebody Jewish on the ticket.
Gavin Newsom is two from California and a failed state.
Mark Kelly, you run the risk of losing a key
Senate seat, and I think they would rather have control
of the Senate than the White House. And then Governor
Wes Moore is your next Barack Obama and your future star.
Do you really risk him on a losing ticket. I mean,
(12:39):
if this is a game of poker, they're going to
show their hand with this VEEP selection.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
I think Mark Kelly seems to be the most logical
choice because Arizona is a swing state and it's something
that brings to play. But I mean on a state
level too, I mean, I think what it does, what
she does bring, and let's you know, I do think
there's a map equation for Kamal in the sense that
the states that are really really blue, like Minnesota and
you know, New Hampshire and Colorado and New Mexico, which
(13:06):
were being considered to speak purple under Biden, are going
to be back in the blue columns. So like the
map isn't expanding as much as the Trump team thought
it might with Biden at the top ticket. So there
is an electoral benefit there. But you know from the
actual swing states that we're all used to over the
last ten years, you know, the Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia,
(13:27):
you know kind of fight. You know, she does not
bring anything to that. Kelly probably brings Arizona and Nevada
back in the players right now. I mean Trump's winning
Arizona by it I think seven or eight, and so
if you can kind of bring that back into a
more you know, fifty to fifty area, that that becomes
a net benefit for them as well.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yeah, I think some Poles at it as high as ten.
Michigan is at seven. All right, So the squad AOC
was early, even though they've later endorsed, was early to
say not so fast. There is not a unanimous coronation
going on here. We see Black lives matter, and we
know the Obamas are the big holdout and the big problem.
You have a growing number of people that feel cheated.
We voted for somebody. You erased our votes. You had
(14:07):
no right We gave money, you stole the money and
gave it to someone else you had no right. As
that grows, so does the support I believe for RFK,
not necessarily Donald Trump, and on the swing state map,
that's the deciding blows. So I know a lot of
people are waking up feeling a little disheartened and a
little afraid. It's just a wave of narrative, not reality,
(14:29):
and this will sort itself out. I don't. I just
want to go down on record as this as the
guy who told you Biden Biden would be gone before
I talk to you again on Monday, and he was,
as the guy who told you Cheetah would be gone
by the time I talked to you, and she was.
I still, this is suspiciously too choreographed and too fast.
(14:49):
I think they're rising her to have her fall before
the convention. I don't even think she's the top of
the ticket when it's all said and done. And if
she is, I think she's still very beatable.
Speaker 6 (14:58):
That's entirely possible to mention to echo your RFK point.
You know who also agrees with you, RFK.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
I see his.
Speaker 6 (15:06):
Advertising online go tremendously up over the last week. He
sees an opportunity here to really kind of become any
smart to do so, like this is a complete big
game changer, and he's up to his presence tremendously on
social media ads over the last you know, seventy two hours.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
So I hope your clients of the puzzle.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I hope your your clients are paying you well, because
we're not paying you nearly enough. After a convention week
and then twice this week, I would say, Chris Walker,
Republican Consultant Analysts, we'll talk to you next Wednesday or
sooner if conditions warrant. But I suspect conditions might warrant,
so don't go too far away. Thanks for joining us.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
This is your Morning Show with Michael del Chuna, the
President of the United States.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
He is alive, he apparently isn't whare he's not running
for president any longer, and he's ready to address the
nation in prime time from the youful office. What we
can expect to hear will visit John Decker about that
US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheadle is out, not fired, resigned.
It took members of Congress in a committee to unite
and put partisanship aside and demand answers that they didn't
(16:12):
get that forced her route, But now the same guy
that appointed her is going to appoint the replacement. Ultimately.
Not know that I feel it. I don't think I'm
feeling much safer well. Bb net Yahoo address a joint
Session of Congress today, but Kamala Harris will not preside
as Vice president over the joint Session of Congress. She
has another engagement in Indianapolis. Or is she distancing herself.
(16:34):
Donald Trump will visit with the Israeli Prime Minister at
his mar Lago estate. Tesla's reporting weaker than expected second
quarter sales and all these poor sales of electric vehicles,
the cylinder of the Biden administration is leading to at
least a more affordable way for you to go electric
and getting off a lot maintenance. You're on your own.
And Snoop Dogg maybe one of the last to be
(16:55):
one of the final bearers of the Olympic torch, well
he started to feel in his day. But I don't
know if you think you're living in a Kamala Harris
twilight zone. How about Snoop Dogg, What's he got to
do with me? Hi Am Michael I'd love to have
you listen to your morning show live. Every day. We're
heard on great stations like News Talk five point fifty
k FYI and Phoenix News Radio eleven ninety k EX
(17:17):
in Portland and ten ninety The Patriot in Seattle. Make
us a part of your morning routine. We'd love to
have you listen live, but in the meantime, enjoy the podcast.
Thanks for waking up with your morning show on the
Aaron streaming live on your iHeartRadio app. I am Michael
del Chorno. Everybody, take a deep breath. We've got some
alone time here at America's kitchen table well number one.
(17:38):
I'm seeing from a lot of people you're overreacting to narratives,
losing hope, suddenly disheartened. I got several emails that's it.
If Kamala Harris is the next president, I'm done with
politics or that's it. I can't take it anymore. I can't
listen anymore. This is getting too weird. You're riding a
narrative wave, not a reality Take a deep breath. Friday,
(18:08):
I told you Joe Biden will not be running for
president by the time I talked to you again. On Monday,
others than Joe Biden's got to be the candidate. No,
he's gone, and he'll be gone before we meet again.
And I was right yesterday, I said the Secret Service
director Kimberly Cheatle, She'll be gone like a beatle scampering
(18:30):
under a floorboard of a garage. Actually, do we have
a clip of that? I don't want to brag. No, No,
I think I got but to set up where I'm headed.
You ready, This is how it was twenty four hours ago.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Thank oh boy.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
It shall be as the beetle disappears under the floorboard
in the barrage.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
This is.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
What are you proud of me? Yeah? That's the Great
Noster Dell Journal being overtaken by the spirit opening the
quad train and telling you the future before it happens again.
So now I got like four or five emails of
people say, all right, you're out of roll. What's next?
What's next? Is this is all happening too fast, way
(19:20):
too choreographed. This strikes me as a meteoric rise. So
you could have a quick fall long before the convention.
Now let me get to my top three stories of
the day. Here's an interesting story in of all places,
the Washington Post. You want to really know what's going on,
(19:43):
keep an eye on axios in the Washington Post, they
sing like canaries. What did I say from moment one? Oh,
everybody came on board endorsing Kamala Harris, and the Clintons
led the way they were first. And I said, did
you notice Barack Obama hasn't? Did you notice today Black
Lives Matter has come out and they haven't. The left
(20:05):
wing organization Black Lives Matter is resisting the installation installation.
Look at the words installation of Vice President Kamala Harris
is the presumptive Democratic nominee, and calling on the DNC
to create a process that allows for public participation in
the nomination process, not a nomination by party leaders or delegates.
(20:30):
That's almost a word for word what Barack Obama said
on Sunday. In a statement on Tuesday, the group which
rose to prominence in twenty twenty, you know, committing all
the good trouble said a twenty four hour process of
talking to party bosses is not democratic, nor is it
a process Democrats should be proud of. Well, democrats shouldn't
(20:54):
have been proud of the shadow campaign that saved the
democracy from Donald Trump either, But this time it's a
shadow campaign to protect the Democrats from Democratic voters. Let
me get back to the Washington Post, an avalanche of
Democrats expressing concerns about Biden's ability to defeat former President
(21:18):
Donald Trump, not the fact that he was running the country,
and that still hasn't been addressed, just like you can
get rid of Chetah, but you still haven't addressed what
the hell happened that afternoon. Oliver Stone did a movie
on far less. You better get to the bottom of
that too, only because he couldn't beat They were convinced
(21:39):
he couldn't beat Donald Trump. Is he's shown the door.
He's no longer useful hiding in a basement. The push
began after his stumbling debate performance on June twenty seventh,
amid a series of continued uneven public appearances and ultimately
the polls that show Biden losing the key swing states.
By the way, here's my biggest reason why I'm not
(22:00):
buying the Kamala Harris. She brings nothing to that problematic map.
Oh the wait, the Washington Post gets that too. Watch
as for where we go from here, says the Washington Post.
Believers that democracy dies in darkness. By far, the most
likely outcome is the next in line, the vice president,
(22:22):
Kamala Harris. Democrats, including Biden, Bill and Hillary Clinton Congressional
Black Caucus quickly sought to close ranks around her as
the party nominee, but Barack Obama, for one, didn't. Interesting
The Washington Post is where I'm at. You mean, I've
(22:44):
had to agree with AOC, Black Lives Matter, now the
Washington Post, all in one week. This is a twilight zone. No,
it's a gas light zone. And the Washington Post is
showing you where they're headed. They're the paper of record.
(23:05):
Oh sure, everybody's behind Kamala except the Obamas. But watch
the next paragraph. Beyond that, Democrats will need to slot
in at least one additional candidate on the ticket, even
if it's just for vice president. Did you catch that
(23:28):
wording from the Washington Post? Wait a minute, I thought,
Kamala is it. She's got the money, she's got the delegates,
she's leading in the polls. Oh my gosh, what happened?
You know, all the stuff you're freaking out over that
isn't real. Look at the wording in the Washington Post.
(23:48):
They still got one worse slot to phil even if
it's just for vice president, meaning they may still need
to address the top of the ticket. Many names will
probably circulate for both spots. They make it crystal clear,
ending the paragraph, Remember me telling you this seems too choreographed.
(24:10):
This seems suspiciously way too fast. This is a just
like they kept putting Joe out there. They knew when
they put him on that debate stage that was the
end of Joe Biden. And they knew after the debate
when they put him on with Stephanopoulis, when they put
him on with Lester Holt, they were putting him out
there in public so he would fail. They're doing the
(24:34):
same with Kamala Harris. It's too fast. They want her
to run and be gone and then grant their people
in the name of democracy what they want, which is
pick a card, any card, the card we wanted all along.
Watch the next paragraph. Let's run through the options to
be clear. Democrats will turn to many of these names
(24:56):
only if the party decides Harris isn't up for the tesk.
Do you think if this was done and a foregone
conclusion the voice of the Democrat Operatives, the Washington Post
would be saying something like, even if the party decides,
Harris isn't up to it. See the Washington Post gets
(25:18):
what I get. Kamala Harris brings nothing to the electoral
college map, and the electoral college map is their clear
and present danger. And when you go to do it
with Kamala A, if she gets off the teleprompter, that's
a disaster. B. She's attached to the failed policies, which
(25:40):
are the priorities of independent voters, even some Democrats and
all Republicans. So that doesn't help you. But she brings
nothing to the electoral college map. Nothing. So who are
the names they want you to look at at the
Washington Post, Well, what about Gretchen Whitmer. We know if
Michigan goes Trump like sixteen, the election will go Trump.
(26:04):
What about Josh Shapiro, Well that's a problem at the
top or the bottom. Yes, he's a rising star. I
believe he's Obama's guy. Is what makes him alive. But
that's a problem for the Democrats because if you want
to appease Obama like you did with Biden, and appease
(26:24):
to Clintons like you did with Kamala, that puts a
Jewish governor on the ticket when they're divided over Israel,
so divided the Vice President won't be there for the
Joint Session of Congress with that Yahoo today and all
those protesters in Washington today, they're gonna be in Chicago.
I keep saying, not so fast. I'm mere Pete. They
(26:46):
love this guy. He fills out the diversity of the
ticket too. He may still be the top of the ticket.
They're much better off of Gavin Newsom from California than
Kamala Harris from Californi. You the other names that kick around,
Andy Bursheer, JP Pritzker, Mark Kelly doesn't have the name recognition.
(27:13):
Joe Mansion. Bottom line, because a lot of time you're
reacting to a narrative. If it's not real, and it's
suspiciously fast and choreographed, and the Washington Post is showing
you the playbook. She doesn't bring anything to the electoral
(27:36):
college map, and you can't match up the key players
you really want with her. She's got to go and
take with it all of the attachments of the failed
policies that will continue but be hidden under a new name.
They're even giving you some of the names they're most
interested in. The one they left off, conveniently is the
(27:58):
one they want most Wes Moore, Governor of Maryland. He
is the rising star. He is the next Barack Obama
with no birth suspicions, and service to his country. Don't overreact.
(28:19):
In fact, don't even waste your time reacting. This crazy
year has only begun to be crazy. There's a lot
more crazy twilight and gaslight on the way. I am
actress Lee Savarga, and my morning show is Your Morning
Show with Michael del Jimordo. Tomorrow on the show, Telsey
gabbered out with the book for the Love of Country,
(28:41):
Lead the Democrat Party behind. We'll talk to her about
that and the latest developments as we're all trying to
figure out if we're living in the twilight zone or
the gaslight zone. Normally we give the final story to Rory.
Rory's off coming in out of the bulbed is quite
the attorney, a bar attorney, Supreme Court bar attorney, and
a White House correspondent for decades. Everybody knows him and
(29:02):
loves him. John Decker, All right, John, one thing's for sure.
The President is alive. He's aware he's leaving the race,
and he will address the nation in primetime.
Speaker 7 (29:10):
What will he say, Well, this will be an historic speech, Michael.
Think about it this way. We have not seen a
speech like the one that President Biden will deliver tonight
in decades, since the spring of nineteen sixty eight, that's
when Lyndon Johnson announced that he would not seek another term.
President Biden has already delivered a statement tonight. We're going
(29:31):
to hear him talk about the reason why he decided
not to run for the presidency, dropped out of the race,
and the reason being not his health, he will say,
but because of good of the party, good of the country.
It's a political decision. And I'll also talk about what
he hopes to accomplish during his final six months in
(29:54):
the White House, his final day in office, Michael, January
the twentieth, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
All right, So the first question is why didn't it
begin this way? Why the rush to do it Sunday
through X and then minutes later an endorsement through X
and not talk to the American people until tonight LBJ
did it. That's how America found out he did it first.
It was also early spring, not late summer. The key
(30:19):
here is it can't be about you.
Speaker 7 (30:21):
Just answer that question. Okay, just answer that question. Remember
he's at COVID. I mean, that's the reason why he
did a statement. He couldn't make a statement. He was
just you know, he was not doing well health wise.
Now he's fully recovered, no longer has any symptoms. So
I think that's the primary reason why he made put
out a statement as opposed to doing the kind of
(30:42):
speech that we're going to see this evening.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Yeah, I understand that story. The reality is, though America
questions his health well beyond his third bout with COVID
and being vaccinated. So he's got to be careful today.
If this is about he's got to make the case
it's because I couldn't win. But he's not going tomit
that because his pride. He can't bring up his health
and condition because that'll make a suspicious he shouldn't be
(31:05):
president for the remainder of his days. Is ain't an
easy speech, is what I'm getting at. I'm not playing
partisan politics, and I'm just saying this is a tough
speech to give.
Speaker 7 (31:14):
Well, it is a tough speech to give. Absolutely. That's
the reason why every broadcast network is going to run
this speech every cable outlet as well, eight o'clock Eastern time,
seven o'clock Central. And you know, it's also a great
opportunity because he's going to have all of those eyeballs
on this speech for him to promote the person who
(31:34):
now is the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Harris. That's
the kind of thing that doesn't happen all that often.
I think that's the reason why the Trump campaign Donald
Trump has asked for equal time, but he's not going
to get it. He's the president of the United States
who's not a candidate for president in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Yeah, by that role. John Decker, Whitehouse correspondent joining us. Also,
I'm just saying this out loud only because sometimes when
you're the only one that I talked to that I
forget we're on the air. I would talk to you
this way off the air. Watch him have his best performance,
and that wouldn't be good either, right if he looks presidential.
Remember Richard Nixon's best moment you ready for it? His
(32:18):
goodbye speech was his best moment. He finally wasn't a politician,
The pressure was finally off. He was finding himself. You
don't want him to do too well tonight, either, do you.
Speaker 7 (32:28):
Well, that's a good point. You know. It's often said
sometimes the concession speeches by candidates. To think about John
McCain in two thousand and eight and others who've lost
the presidency, it's often said of them, why didn't I
see that candidate during the course of all campaign for
the presidency always say that, And so maybe we'll say
(32:49):
that about Joe Biden tonight. I don't think so.
Speaker 5 (32:51):
I mean, look, you.
Speaker 7 (32:53):
Can do all the things and say all the things
that you need to say, but the fact of the
matter is you could never get past the fact Michael
he is eighty one years old, and people did have
concerns if he was re elected whether he could continue
on with the job for four more years. So, you know,
for him, he's got six more months and he's got
(33:17):
very little time in terms of getting things done as
far as legislation is concerned. If that happens, it's a
big if. But if indeed there's anything accomplished, it likely
will happen during the lame duck session of Congress, as
opposed to between now and the November fifth election.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
This is a president that just days ago was telling you,
and he'll do that tonight too. He's going to give
you the laundry list of things he believes he's accomplished.
You will thank everybody that supported him. But at the
end of the day, this is a guy that days
ago was telling you, I'm not going anywhere, and now
I am. And he can't use health and he's too
prideful to admit that he couldn't win. It'll be interesting
(33:55):
to see this bed. But here's the one thing we'll
all agree on. This is history. Not since LBJ, a
sitting president is going to bow out of the race. Now,
there's a lot of money that's flowing from him to
someone else, a lot of delegates that's flowing from him
to someone else. Obama's not on board. Black Lives Matter
is not on board. Let's see if they can mend
some of those fences tonight. Appreciate you, have a great day.
We'll talk again very soon, all right. That is White
(34:18):
House correspondent John Decker, one of my favorites. All right.
So here's the bottom line. If he goes too much
into his accomplishments, no one's buying it. That's why he
can't win if he doesn't go into his health. They
still question his health, and there's a lot of people
still question if you're not fit enough to run, you're
not fit enough to be president and want to see
a twenty fifth Amendment evoked. So that much is on
(34:40):
the line for his performance tonight. And meanwhile, a joint
session of Congress with B. B. Netanya who and the
Vice president presumptive nominee won't be there, protest or busy
engagement at a sorority house in Indianapolis.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
We're all in this together. This is your Morning Show
