Speaker 1 (00:01):
What we saw was I think a little bit different
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I think that's okay.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
There have been a lot of people saying Donald Trump
looked different night one as he was standing there with
Make America Great underneath them Byron Donald's sitting to his
left if you're looking at the President, Tucker Carlson as
well sitting to his left.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
To the right jd Vance.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
To the right of him was the speaker Mike Johnson
at the convention. When Donald Trump made his way into
the arena, it was also a little bit different. It
was not as loud as you traditionally hear at a
Trump rally. It was a very somber but I also
(00:48):
think serious moment for Donald Trump. He understands, I think
better than anybody, as we saw his ear, his right
ear bandage, that he is an individual who could easily
have died. He is someone whose life could have been
taken from him because of this would be assassin and
(01:10):
he was shot.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I want to say, if you have.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Ever been in a shooting, you understand what I'm about
to say.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Many of you know I've been in a shooting.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I had to use a gun to save my life
and had two different people pointing a gun at me,
one put to the side of my head, and I
can tell you that you are different after that, no
matter how much you don't want to be different. And
what I mean by that is your perspective changes. There's
anger that comes in afterwards. We saw instantly Donald Trump
(01:43):
be angry when he put his fist up and yelled fight.
There's then this realization that you could have died. There
is then a significant change and shift to concern that
it can happen. And again, I have a massive amount
(02:03):
of compassion for our men and women in uniform that
have dealt with PTSD. I didn't understand it till after
my shooting, and I cannot imagine what men and women
that go through that every single day in Afghanistan, Iraq
or anywhere else around the world where they're serving, what
they dealt with after nine to eleven, for example, when
you're there for a couple of years on multiple tours
(02:25):
of duties and you're being shot at, and you're shooting,
and you're seeing your friends get blown up, and you're
seeing your friends get shot, and you're seeing that life
can end, not at a time in or a moment
of your choosing because of evil. Donald Trump seemed different,
and I don't think that's a bad thing. But I'm
(02:45):
sure Donald Trump is dealing with the fact that and
this is that they call it survivor's guilt for reason,
Why am I still alive? And why did an innocent
man who was just there to support me die? Why
are there others that are fighting and are gonna have
lifelong changes in their recovery in the hospital still who
were shot? You think about that rally, and Donald Trump
(03:09):
is going to be thinking about that rally. It is
going to be on his mind because he knows that
there was a kind, loving father who saved his daughter
and mother's life and it cost him his own as
he was shielding them from the bullets. And I'm sure
there's moments where he's gonna be thinking, did I have
to do that rally? Should we have done it indoors?
Should we have done it differently? Should we have changed
(03:29):
the way we did things? That is what any person
with a soul is going to be thinking in that moment.
And not only is the president having to deal with that,
but then there's that concern of is it going to
happen again?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I think you.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Also realize and this has got to be the hardest
part for President Trump. There is a confidence with the
Secret Service around you. I have been inside the bubble
in my career several times, many times when I was
a saraga on the Bush campaign, and I've been on
(04:06):
stage with the President. It's a different level of Secret
Service protection when you're sitting duck up there. But there
was a feeling of invincibility that made you just focus
on what your job was because you're like, I got
them right, Like they're around us, We're gonna be fine.
I'm not thinking about snipers. I'm not thinking about a
(04:28):
lone wolf. I'm not thinking about a shooter in the crowd.
And you go up on that stage and you do
your job well. I mean, you look at the president
last night at the convention, and I mean this he
is a little bit different, and that's okay. But I
wanted to paint that picture so you understand because while
(04:49):
all of this is going on, and when I was
involved in my shooting, I think the most frustrating part
for me afterwards was the fact that I couldn't control
my heart rate when I would be doing things like
pumping gas and a car would pull up on the
(05:10):
other side of that gas pump, and I couldn't see
that person. And there's that concern, is that person about
to come around the corner and pull a gun on me,
or shoot at me, or try to rob me or
carjack me. And it wasn't because paranoid. It was a
involuntary thing that would happen. And it took months and
months for that to go away until I felt quote
(05:33):
normal again. I the way that Donald Trump is dealing
with this publicly is unbelievable. But I also want to
make it clear we need to make sure we pray
for this man. We need to pray for him and
his recovery. One tenth of an inch that bullet moves,
he doesn't move his head, and those are the things
he's thinking about. To look at that prompter again for
(05:54):
the statistics, and he would not be with us. And
while you're having to deal with all that, and look,
there's also the fallout that comes after this with your family.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Everybody wants to talk about this shooting. That sees you.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Everybody's walking up to you giving you a hug, which
is sincere, and saying we're so glad you're alive. But
you keep hearing that's a different narrative. It's no longer hey,
thank you for fighting for our country. God bless America.
It's now we're so thankful you're alive. That is a
different conversation. He will have with every single person that
he comes in contact with in Milwaukee this week, and
(06:30):
it will be.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
The same thing that has said to him for weeks.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And I would argue through election day that narrative is
not going to change. But that's a different conversation. I'm
glad you're alive. I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're alive.
Continues to go back to it to remind him that
someone tried to kill him. That's a lot to deal
with for any person. If there's anybody that can deal
with it, it's Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He clearly is.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
But then I want you to think about what's happened
since then. The bubble around you and the Secret Service,
the protection that you used to have that made you
feel confident to be able to go up on that stage,
that is gone right now. I don't care what anybody says.
In the back of his day, he's like, they didn't
get the last one. They could screw it up again.
That's gonna change your demeanor a little bit. And then
(07:16):
you got to do everything else you're doing right now,
right Go to a convention, run a convention.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Pick a vice presidential candidate.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Jd Vance, by the way, put out an amazing simple tweet.
It said, just overwhelmed with gratitude. What an honor it
is to run alongside President Donald J.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He delivered peace and prosperity once, and with your help,
will do it again.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Onward to victory. A very very very very very simple.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Okay, A very simple tweet there, A very important tweet.
He also tweeted out on the fourteenth, this dude is
just built different, and posted the true social post by
Donald Trump that said quote, based on yesterday's terrible event,
I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin the
(08:02):
Republican National Convention by two days, but have decided that
I cannot allow a quote shooter or a potential assassin
to force change the scheduling or anything else. Therefore, I
will be leaving for Milwaukee's schedule at three point thirty
pm today.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Thank you, Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
And jd Vance wrote this dude is just built different.
He absolutely is he is built different. I want to
shift for a moment the conversation from what I just
described with Donald Trump personally, and I just still think
it's incredible what this guy's doing right now.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He's built differently.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I want to talk about Day two theme at the
Republican Convention. The Day two theme is make America Safe Again.
That means so many different things, by the way. Right now,
it means that we have to focus on the border crisis.
We got to focus on crime in this country. And
(09:04):
I think there's going to be a lot of praise
for Trump for his resilience after this assassination attempt. Day
two at the Convention has a different meaning than when
they announced last week what the themes of each day
were going to be. No one was thinking that it
was going to revolve or they would have to include
(09:26):
the possibility of an assassination as part of the make
America Safe Again theme. It was going to be about crime,
it was going to be about the border, it was
going to be about now security, and now it's about
the idea that there are people that are trying to
kill Donald Trump. The Republican National Convention is focusing Day
two with a crowded list of events and speakers touching
(09:49):
on a broad range with immigration and crime is going
to be featured in the most prominent way. And Democrats
will not do this that their can. I do think
this is also a moment where you compare and contrast
the two. You look, now, Trump is formerly the GOP nominee.
(10:10):
It's official. That happened day one. You've got his VP candidate.
That's official. JD Vance. He's there shaking hands with Tucker
Carlson Byron Donald's members of his family, Don Junior, who
looked proudly at their father, their friend who nearly lost
his life two days ago.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Like that's big.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
There are other attendees that are there that I'm sure
are like, Okay, we gotta admit it. Now, this guy's
built differently. What do I mean by that? Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell. He was dued when he made his appearance.
I understand why people feel like he's not done enough. McConnell,
by the way, who blamed Trump for January sixth riot
in February twenty twenty one, stating the former president was
(10:54):
practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that
day and you want to know why the guy got
boot McConnell booed at the convention. I am glad that
he got booed at the convention. I think it stands.
I'm glad he got booed because it's proof that people
love Trump and can't stand the bureaucrats that run Washington.
(11:18):
There is a very clear divide in our party right now.
You're either with the Mitch McConnell's of the world that
cow down to the Democrats, don't hold them accountable, allow
them to use law fair to get rid of their
candidates and have gotten us to the point where we
had this assassination attempt. Or you're on the side with
Donald Trump and hardcore conservatives that understand that there is
(11:39):
evil in the world. AP put it this way, hosts
of speakers will applaud the former president's strength and resilience
after the shooting at Israelly in Pennsylvania Day two, and
will remind the country that safety and security are a
major major issue. Nicki Hayley, right, we're being told is
(12:01):
going to be a part of this. I'm fine with that.
Let's go. I don't think she's going to get some
massive welcome. By the way, want to make that very
very clear as well.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
So let's talk about last night's speeches.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Okay, this is incredible for me and jd.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Vance had a speech last night and it was a
speech that a lot of kind of criticized this morning.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Just so you know, they've criticized this speech because they
thought it wasn't a lot of energy. It was one
of those speeches that Minie said, Hey, I think this
is pretty like bland speech.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Giving a speech two days after you've.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Been gotting the phone call that you're the vice presidential
of Canada is intimidating.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And do I think it could have.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Been punched up a little bit more being in the
room last night. Yes, I think you could see that
on Donald Trump's face little bit as well.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I'm also not a cheerleader when I see somebody out
there that I wanted him to kill it. I think
it was a six and a half seven out of ten.
Do I think it's going to hurt the ticket?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Do Am I worried about him picking him now or No?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I also think he's better in debates than he is
at speeches.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So all I care about is the VP debate.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
But there were also some incredible moments in his speech
which I if you miss this, I wanted you to
hear it because I love the story of Jdvans, I
love the history of Jdvans. I love the addiction aspect
of the overcoming with his mom and his grandmother raising him.
But there was one part in the speech last night
(13:43):
that was truly incredible, and that was this moment in.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Our movement, ladies and gentlemen, it's about grandparents all across
this country who are living on Social Security and raising
grandchildren they didn't expect to raise. And while we're on
the top of grandparents, let me tell you another mammal story.
And my mamma died shortly before I left for Iraq
in two thousand and five, and when we went through things,
we found nineteen loaded handguns.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
They were.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Now the thing is, they were stashed all over her house,
under her bed, in her closet, in the silverware drawer,
and we wondered what was going on, and it occurred
to us that towards the end of her life, Mamma
couldn't get around so well.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And so this frail old woman made sure that no
matter where she was, she was with an arm's.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Lame of whatever she needed to protect her.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Family backs who we fight for. That's American scirit.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That for me was the highlight jd Vance's speech last night.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I thought it was an incredible moment.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I thought it was one that made people love him, his.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Family, his story.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It was one of those moments that I think people
will remember. And look, there's some people that may have
heard that in thought to themselves, Hey, that's ridiculous. No,
that's a grandmother who wanted to protect at all costs
her the person that she loved the most, the people
that she loved the most. There was also another really
(15:36):
cool point of last night, and that was JD Vance's
wife coming out on stage. She's not a political person.
She is a mother, first has a wife, and she
stepped up on the stage. This is not her thing
to be a public speaker. And I always feel bad
for people that are expected to do amazing things on
(16:00):
the stage when it's just not what they do.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
They do, they're not trained for it.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Spouses and politics are treated like they are supposed to
be as good as their husband or their wife. And
I don't think that's fair, and there were people last
night that I hoped she didn't screw this up. I
thought that Jade Vance's wife did an amazing job introducing
her husband to the world, because there's a lot of
people that were going to watch JD for the very,
(16:27):
very first time.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I want you to hear her introduction.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Good evening, Good evening. When I was asked to introduce
my husband, Jadie Vance to all of you, I was
at a loss. What could I say that hasn't already
been said before? After all, the man was already the
subject of Ron Howard movie. JD has shared much of
(17:00):
life through his own eloquent words in his book He'll
Billy Elogy. During his Senate campaign and now as a
City United States Senator, it occurred to me that there
was only one thing to do to explain from the
heart why I love and admire JD and stand here
(17:21):
beside him today, and why he will make a great
Vice President of the United States. I met JD in
law school when he was fresh out of Ohio State,
which he attended with the support of the GI Bill.
(17:43):
We were friends first, because I mean, who wouldn't want
to be friends with JD? He was then as now,
the most interesting person I knew, a working class guy
who had overcome childhood traumas that I could barely fathom
to end up at Yale Loss School, A tough marine
who had served in Iraq, but whose idea of a
(18:05):
good time was playing with puppies and watching.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
The movie Babe.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
The most determined person I knew, with one overriding ambition
to become a husband and a father, and to build
the kind of tight knit family that he had longed
for as a child. My background is very different from Jad's.
I grew up in San Diego, in a middle class community,
(18:38):
with two loving parents, both immigrants from India, and a
wonderful sister that Jadie and I could meet at all,
let alone fall in love and Mary is a testament
to this great country. It is also a testament to JD,
(19:03):
and it tells you something about who he is. When
JD met me, he approached our differences with curiosity and enthusiasm.
He wanted to know everything about me, where I came from,
what my life had been like. Although he's a meat
and potatoes kind of guy, he adapted to my vegetarian
(19:25):
diet and learned to cook food from my mother Indian food.
Before I knew it, he had become an integral part
of my family, a person I could not meant could
not imagine living without. The JD I knew then is
the same JD you see.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Today, except for that Beard and.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
His goals in this new role are the same that
he has pursued for our family, to keep people safe,
to create opportunities, to build a better life, and to
solve problems with an open mind. It's safe to say
that neither JD nor I expected.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
To find ourselves in this position.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
But it's hard to imagine a more powerful example of
the American dream. A boy from Middletown, Ohio.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You know, I got to say that I thought that
her explaining who he is and explaining what he stands
for and where he came from was one of the
most powerful moments of the night from someone that's like, look,
I married him, I love him, I want to support him,
(20:51):
and it was very real.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
It came across very.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Authentic, I think in the hall and I think it
translated on TV. It excited me for his family and
the story of where he came from is an important one.
It's going to relate to many different people, and I
got to say that was one of my highlights I
(21:16):
think last night in the convention hall was listening to
her introduce her husband that she's clearly so proud of
and the father of our children so proud of.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
These are the type of stories that I think we
as conservatives need to just enjoy and be excited at
the age of JD.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Van's I mean, he's younger than I am, for goodness sakes, and.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I never get to say that, and I just I'm
rooting for them. I love the fact that he is
this type of individual with small kids.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
It can relate to the family's real issues in.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
America today, whether it's public education, whether it's just paying
for things with kids, what the cost of living. These
are things that he brings the ticket because of his
age and his wife and their family.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
That is incredible.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Let me first start with just talking about how incredible
it was to see Donald Trump on stage and the
reception inside of that arena. I was there for what
I would refer to as a front row seat to history.
I also saw the president in a much smaller setting
(22:30):
right before, about an hour and a half before no
less than that thirty minutes before the convention started and
he went to his seat. And I want to first
start by saying, Donald Trump is a different person right now.
And I want to be clear, I don't mean that
in a bad way. This is something that has happened
(22:54):
because of the shooting and its perspective faith, a demeanor
that is very different. As I watched him speak to
this smaller group in a different tone, in a somber tone,
in a focused tone, I leaned over.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
To Senator Ted Cruz. I said, he's different. This is different.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And if you watched the first twenty five minutes of
the speech that he gave, he was different. And then
he started to get a little bit of his campaign
groove back. There were people that criticize the speech last night,
y it's too long. And I said this when he
gave the speech, or afterwards when I was doing commentary
(23:41):
on Fox, and I said, you know, if you got
shot five days ago and survived an assassination attempt, you'd
have a lot to say too.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I think I didn't mind it all.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
The link of the speech I as it was described
to me by one and I thought was a great analogy.
The first twenty five to thirty minutes. Was like church
on Easter Sunday. It's a sermon that is to the masses.
It is a sermon to people that maybe only come
to church one time a year and it's a packed house.
(24:16):
And then the second part of that speech, the long part,
was Sunday School with all the regular attenders. He gave
a clear message to the American people about what this
administration is going to look like, the Trump administration number one,
and why you should take a look at the agenda
that he has laid out and look at your life
(24:38):
and ask yourself questions about safety in this country, safety abroad,
economic issues.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
These are issues that affect the American people.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Many Americans don't feel safe in their towns anymore and
the cities they live in. They don't feel like their
government has their back on those issues and their prioriti
tizing illegal immigrants and criminals ahead of them because of
radical das and a wide open southern border. You look
at economic issues, it's very clear that many Americans believe
that Bidenomics has truly hurt their family. They's destroyed their
(25:17):
purchasing power, it has destroyed their ability to really focus
on a future that looks brighter, and now it's a
future that just looks like it's survival that has changed.
And so there were so many people, millions of millions,
that were going to tune in, not just because they're
(25:38):
maybe willing to give Donald Trump another chance, but also
because they wanted to hear what he had to say
about the assassination attempt on his life and being shot.
I think Donald Trump did an amazing job because most
people don't watch the entire speech. That's just the reality
of TV viewing habits. A lot of people that tuned
(25:59):
in that may wouldn't have normally tuned in. They watched
ten minutes, fifteen minutes more than they would have watched normally.
They would have gotten the highlights the next day on
social media on TikTok, on Instagram, on Facebook, etc.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
On x they said and listened to.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
A very somber and a very different president of the
United States of America by the name of Donald Trump.
I think many people that watched this speech were watching
out of curiosity to see what he was going to say,
how he was going to act, but also because they
have seen what's been going on with the Biden campaign
(26:40):
day after day now there's a civil war that's broken
out the Democratic Party, and that makes people want to
watch what the other side is saying and doing. It's
human nature. You then start hearing hours before Donald Trump's
going to take the stage that Joe Biden's probably not
going to be the candidate. More people tune in because
(27:02):
now this is like a sporting event. It's like one
team screwing up. What's the other team going to do
in response? You combine all that together, and I think
what Donald Trump said in that first twenty five minutes
of a speech was truly the most important speech that
he had ever made. And then as many of those
(27:25):
people were more than likely tuning out, he started talking
to his base. He started talking to the faithful conservative voter,
evangelical voter. I think the program last night was phenomenal.
I think the convention was unbelievable. It was the best
(27:46):
Republican convention I've ever seen with a party that is unified.
And I think this is going to be another reason
why it's going to be very hard to beat Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
The other big story.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That is going to have massive ramifications on this election
is the reality that apparently Joe Biden is starting to
understand that he is not going to be the nominee,
that they believe that he doesn't have a chance to win,
(28:21):
and they are convincing him of that. Reporting coming out
now is at the big five families of the Democratic mafia,
the Clintons, the Obama's, the Schumer family, the Pelosi family,
and the new Jeffrey's family on the House side leadership
(28:42):
of the Democratic Party have all coalesced with the media
and the donors. So that's seven entities working together to
force him out. I've been told by sources that I
trust that Joe Biden is still holding on because he
wants to make sure that he gets a sweetheart neel,
(29:03):
a golden parachute that if he does come out and say,
I'm not gonna, you know, be the guy. I'm going
to finish out this term, but I'm not going to
be the guy that what actually would happen then is
that whoever gets this job, they're going to agree to
give immunity to my family. Hunter Biden's not going to
(29:26):
go to jail, My brother's not going to go to jail,
and I'm not going to be prosecuted or any other
family member. He wants to guarantee from what I've been told,
and I believe this to be true, that nobody with
the last name Biden is ever going to go to
jail because of the actions of the Biden crime family.
(29:49):
And he has leverage and the Democratic Party is more
than willing to give him that. The question is because
there's going to have to be a trust factor. You
trust Kamala Harris to not screw you, because if Kamala
Harris becomes the president and he decides to step aside
(30:10):
and not take the nomination, he's got to trust that
a woman in his entire career has been basically documented
with screwing the people closest to or no pun intended,
is going to be trustworthy enough to take a hit
in the polls to protect Joe Biden, because it's not
(30:34):
going to help Kamala Harris or any other Democrat that
becomes the president. If they did become the president, hypothetically,
it's not going to raise their approval rating if they
immediately say, oh, and by the way, here's all these
convictions against Hunter or Joe or his brother or anybody else,
(30:54):
and we're giving a blanket immunity, and they're all going
to be all sins of the Biden crime family are forgiven.
That is not good politics. So could you promise that
and not deliver on it? Absolutely? Do I believe that
Kamala Harris could lie to the face of Joe Biden. Yes,
(31:17):
I absolutely do, which is the reason why I think
he hasn't dropped out yet. It's the reason why the
family has isolated him. They have isolated him politically, They've
isolated him in the name of COVID. He has gone
into complete and utter hibernation from all reality and the
Democratic Party they know this, so they've got to sweeten
(31:40):
the pot. They've got to figure out a way to
convince a senile, paranoid, Alzheimer's dementia ridden individual that they
can be trustworthy, trustworthy enough that he can walk away
without having the ability to pardon his son, because there's
(32:02):
nothing to pardon him for yet, because his son, being
an idiot, didn't take, you know, tried to take a
deal that was too good and now is fighting in
these court cases instead of wrapping them up. I understand
how hard it is to deal with someone that has
Alzheimer's or dementia. If you've ever dealt with somebody with
Alzheimer's dementia.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
They dig in.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
They're irrational, they're not willing to usually compromise on things like, hey,
I need to take away your car keys. Hey, you
don't need to go out alone. Right, you're not going
to tell me that I can't go shopping by myself.
You're not gonna tell me I can't drive. They dig in.
So I think you're also dealing with that aspect of
(32:43):
Alzheimer's dementia with this clearly mentally incapacitated individual and that
paranoid individual who believes that now his entire party with
good reason. By the way, I don't think it's paranoid.
I think it's reality has turned on him and thrown
him to the wolves. I've never seen anything like this
(33:03):
in the Democratic Party, where these mafia style families, the
Biden you know, the the Bidens, used to be one
of the Big five. They're not anymore. They're on the outs.
Democratic Party have no need, no use for the Biden family.
In fact, you could argue that if the Biden family
went down for all of their corruption, right, all of
(33:28):
their corruption, that the Democratic Party would actually benefit from
crucifying them. Acting like that's not a part of the
Democratic machine. Nancy Pelosi wants to act like she's separate
from this corruption. The Clintons and the Obamas won't act
like they're separate of the Biden corruption. The Democratic Party
(33:50):
in general wants to act like they're separate from the
Biden corruption. The members of the House and the Senate
and the Democratic Party don't want to be tied to
a man who is this corrupt. If it's all coming out,
so now you understand why the machine has turned against
Joe Biden is in essence, kicking him out of the
(34:13):
White House and out of the Democratic monarchy is probably
the best way I can describe it. A guy that's
been there for forty plus years is now being fed
to the political wolves.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
The media, by the way, they're all on board with this.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Every single member of the media in the Democratic you
know media, however you want to describe them, every single
one of them, every single one of them is throwing
Joe Biden under the bus. They want to get rid
of him. Even his own cabinet is throwing Joe Biden out.
(34:54):
They're leaking everywhere his staffers within the White House, and
and they're almost trying to manifest destiny. This I think
they think if they say it loud enough, say it
often enough, leak it enough times where the fever pitch
continues to grow that Joe Biden's going to drop out,
Joe Biden's going to drop out, they can somehow turn
(35:15):
that leak into a reality, which which is a moment
of caution as well.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Joe Biden could just say screw all, y'all.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
None of you are loyal, You're all scum, and if
I'm going down, you're all going down with me. In
other words, all of you in the party are gonna
you know, I'm gonna hurt all of you while you're
hurting me. This is going to be the biggest political
story going into the Democratic Convention, and the fact that
(35:44):
it's August and we still may not know who Donald
Trump's running against is completely and utterly insane. Make sure
you share this podcast with your family and friends, please,
because a lot of what I just played for you're
not gonna hear on the news.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
And I'll see you're back here tomorrow.
What we saw was I think a little bit different
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
I think that's okay.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
There have been a lot of people saying Donald Trump
looked different night one as he was standing there with
Make America Great underneath them Byron Donald's sitting to his
left if you're looking at the President, Tucker Carlson as
well sitting to his left.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
To the right jd Vance.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
To the right of him was the speaker Mike Johnson
at the convention. When Donald Trump made his way into
the arena, it was also a little bit different. It
was not as loud as you traditionally hear at a
Trump rally. It was a very somber but I also
(00:48):
think serious moment for Donald Trump. He understands, I think
better than anybody, as we saw his ear, his right
ear bandage, that he is an individual who could easily
have died. He is someone whose life could have been
taken from him because of this would be assassin and
(01:10):
he was shot.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I want to say, if you have.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Ever been in a shooting, you understand what I'm about
to say.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Many of you know I've been in a shooting.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
I had to use a gun to save my life
and had two different people pointing a gun at me,
one put to the side of my head, and I
can tell you that you are different after that, no
matter how much you don't want to be different. And
what I mean by that is your perspective changes. There's
anger that comes in afterwards. We saw instantly Donald Trump
(01:43):
be angry when he put his fist up and yelled fight.
There's then this realization that you could have died. There
is then a significant change and shift to concern that
it can happen. And again, I have a massive amount
(02:03):
of compassion for our men and women in uniform that
have dealt with PTSD. I didn't understand it till after
my shooting, and I cannot imagine what men and women
that go through that every single day in Afghanistan, Iraq
or anywhere else around the world where they're serving, what
they dealt with after nine to eleven, for example, when
you're there for a couple of years on multiple tours
(02:25):
of duties and you're being shot at, and you're shooting,
and you're seeing your friends get blown up, and you're
seeing your friends get shot, and you're seeing that life
can end, not at a time in or a moment
of your choosing because of evil. Donald Trump seemed different,
and I don't think that's a bad thing. But I'm
(02:45):
sure Donald Trump is dealing with the fact that and
this is that they call it survivor's guilt for reason,
Why am I still alive? And why did an innocent
man who was just there to support me die? Why
are there others that are fighting and are gonna have
lifelong changes in their recovery in the hospital still who
were shot? You think about that rally, and Donald Trump
(03:09):
is going to be thinking about that rally. It is
going to be on his mind because he knows that
there was a kind, loving father who saved his daughter
and mother's life and it cost him his own as
he was shielding them from the bullets. And I'm sure
there's moments where he's gonna be thinking, did I have
to do that rally? Should we have done it indoors?
Should we have done it differently? Should we have changed
(03:29):
the way we did things? That is what any person
with a soul is going to be thinking in that moment.
And not only is the president having to deal with that,
but then there's that concern of is it going to
happen again?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
I think you.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Also realize and this has got to be the hardest
part for President Trump. There is a confidence with the
Secret Service around you. I have been inside the bubble
in my career several times, many times when I was
a saraga on the Bush campaign, and I've been on
(04:06):
stage with the President. It's a different level of Secret
Service protection when you're sitting duck up there. But there
was a feeling of invincibility that made you just focus
on what your job was because you're like, I got
them right, Like they're around us, We're gonna be fine.
I'm not thinking about snipers. I'm not thinking about a
(04:28):
lone wolf. I'm not thinking about a shooter in the crowd.
And you go up on that stage and you do
your job well. I mean, you look at the president
last night at the convention, and I mean this he
is a little bit different, and that's okay. But I
wanted to paint that picture so you understand because while
(04:49):
all of this is going on, and when I was
involved in my shooting, I think the most frustrating part
for me afterwards was the fact that I couldn't control
my heart rate when I would be doing things like
pumping gas and a car would pull up on the
(05:10):
other side of that gas pump, and I couldn't see
that person. And there's that concern, is that person about
to come around the corner and pull a gun on me,
or shoot at me, or try to rob me or
carjack me. And it wasn't because paranoid. It was a
involuntary thing that would happen. And it took months and
months for that to go away until I felt quote
(05:33):
normal again. I the way that Donald Trump is dealing
with this publicly is unbelievable. But I also want to
make it clear we need to make sure we pray
for this man. We need to pray for him and
his recovery. One tenth of an inch that bullet moves,
he doesn't move his head, and those are the things
he's thinking about. To look at that prompter again for
(05:54):
the statistics, and he would not be with us. And
while you're having to deal with all that, and look,
there's also the fallout that comes after this with your family.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Everybody wants to talk about this shooting. That sees you.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Everybody's walking up to you giving you a hug, which
is sincere, and saying we're so glad you're alive. But
you keep hearing that's a different narrative. It's no longer hey,
thank you for fighting for our country. God bless America.
It's now we're so thankful you're alive. That is a
different conversation. He will have with every single person that
he comes in contact with in Milwaukee this week, and
(06:30):
it will be.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
The same thing that has said to him for weeks.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
And I would argue through election day that narrative is
not going to change. But that's a different conversation. I'm
glad you're alive. I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're alive.
Continues to go back to it to remind him that
someone tried to kill him. That's a lot to deal
with for any person. If there's anybody that can deal
with it, it's Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
He clearly is.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
But then I want you to think about what's happened
since then. The bubble around you and the Secret Service,
the protection that you used to have that made you
feel confident to be able to go up on that stage,
that is gone right now. I don't care what anybody says.
In the back of his day, he's like, they didn't
get the last one. They could screw it up again.
That's gonna change your demeanor a little bit. And then
(07:16):
you got to do everything else you're doing right now,
right Go to a convention, run a convention.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Pick a vice presidential candidate.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Jd Vance, by the way, put out an amazing simple tweet.
It said, just overwhelmed with gratitude. What an honor it
is to run alongside President Donald J.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Trump.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
He delivered peace and prosperity once, and with your help,
will do it again.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Onward to victory. A very very very very very simple.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Okay, A very simple tweet there, A very important tweet.
He also tweeted out on the fourteenth, this dude is
just built different, and posted the true social post by
Donald Trump that said quote, based on yesterday's terrible event,
I was going to delay my trip to Wisconsin the
(08:02):
Republican National Convention by two days, but have decided that
I cannot allow a quote shooter or a potential assassin
to force change the scheduling or anything else. Therefore, I
will be leaving for Milwaukee's schedule at three point thirty
pm today.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Thank you, Donald J. Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
And jd Vance wrote this dude is just built different.
He absolutely is he is built different. I want to
shift for a moment the conversation from what I just
described with Donald Trump personally, and I just still think
it's incredible what this guy's doing right now.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
He's built differently.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
I want to talk about Day two theme at the
Republican Convention. The Day two theme is make America Safe Again.
That means so many different things, by the way. Right now,
it means that we have to focus on the border crisis.
We got to focus on crime in this country. And
(09:04):
I think there's going to be a lot of praise
for Trump for his resilience after this assassination attempt. Day
two at the Convention has a different meaning than when
they announced last week what the themes of each day
were going to be. No one was thinking that it
was going to revolve or they would have to include
(09:26):
the possibility of an assassination as part of the make
America Safe Again theme. It was going to be about crime,
it was going to be about the border, it was
going to be about now security, and now it's about
the idea that there are people that are trying to
kill Donald Trump. The Republican National Convention is focusing Day
two with a crowded list of events and speakers touching
(09:49):
on a broad range with immigration and crime is going
to be featured in the most prominent way. And Democrats
will not do this that their can. I do think
this is also a moment where you compare and contrast
the two. You look, now, Trump is formerly the GOP nominee.
(10:10):
It's official. That happened day one. You've got his VP candidate.
That's official. JD Vance. He's there shaking hands with Tucker
Carlson Byron Donald's members of his family, Don Junior, who
looked proudly at their father, their friend who nearly lost
his life two days ago.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Like that's big.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
There are other attendees that are there that I'm sure
are like, Okay, we gotta admit it. Now, this guy's
built differently. What do I mean by that? Senate Minority
Leader Mitch McConnell. He was dued when he made his appearance.
I understand why people feel like he's not done enough. McConnell,
by the way, who blamed Trump for January sixth riot
in February twenty twenty one, stating the former president was
(10:54):
practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that
day and you want to know why the guy got
boot McConnell booed at the convention. I am glad that
he got booed at the convention. I think it stands.
I'm glad he got booed because it's proof that people
love Trump and can't stand the bureaucrats that run Washington.
(11:18):
There is a very clear divide in our party right now.
You're either with the Mitch McConnell's of the world that
cow down to the Democrats, don't hold them accountable, allow
them to use law fair to get rid of their
candidates and have gotten us to the point where we
had this assassination attempt. Or you're on the side with
Donald Trump and hardcore conservatives that understand that there is
(11:39):
evil in the world. AP put it this way, hosts
of speakers will applaud the former president's strength and resilience
after the shooting at Israelly in Pennsylvania Day two, and
will remind the country that safety and security are a
major major issue. Nicki Hayley, right, we're being told is
(12:01):
going to be a part of this. I'm fine with that.
Let's go. I don't think she's going to get some
massive welcome. By the way, want to make that very
very clear as well.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
So let's talk about last night's speeches.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Okay, this is incredible for me and jd.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Vance had a speech last night and it was a
speech that a lot of kind of criticized this morning.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Just so you know, they've criticized this speech because they
thought it wasn't a lot of energy. It was one
of those speeches that Minie said, Hey, I think this
is pretty like bland speech.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Giving a speech two days after you've.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Been gotting the phone call that you're the vice presidential
of Canada is intimidating.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
And do I think it could have.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Been punched up a little bit more being in the
room last night. Yes, I think you could see that
on Donald Trump's face little bit as well.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I'm not gonna lie to you guys.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I'm also not a cheerleader when I see somebody out
there that I wanted him to kill it. I think
it was a six and a half seven out of ten.
Do I think it's going to hurt the ticket?
Speaker 3 (13:12):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Do Am I worried about him picking him now or No?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I also think he's better in debates than he is
at speeches.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
So all I care about is the VP debate.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
But there were also some incredible moments in his speech
which I if you miss this, I wanted you to
hear it because I love the story of Jdvans, I
love the history of Jdvans. I love the addiction aspect
of the overcoming with his mom and his grandmother raising him.
But there was one part in the speech last night
(13:43):
that was truly incredible, and that was this moment in.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Our movement, ladies and gentlemen, it's about grandparents all across
this country who are living on Social Security and raising
grandchildren they didn't expect to raise. And while we're on
the top of grandparents, let me tell you another mammal story.
And my mamma died shortly before I left for Iraq
in two thousand and five, and when we went through things,
we found nineteen loaded handguns.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
They were.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
Now the thing is, they were stashed all over her house,
under her bed, in her closet, in the silverware drawer,
and we wondered what was going on, and it occurred
to us that towards the end of her life, Mamma
couldn't get around so well.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And so this frail old woman made sure that no
matter where she was, she was with an arm's.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Lame of whatever she needed to protect her.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Family backs who we fight for. That's American scirit.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That for me was the highlight jd Vance's speech last night.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
I thought it was an incredible moment.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I thought it was one that made people love him, his.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Family, his story.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It was one of those moments that I think people
will remember. And look, there's some people that may have
heard that in thought to themselves, Hey, that's ridiculous. No,
that's a grandmother who wanted to protect at all costs
her the person that she loved the most, the people
that she loved the most. There was also another really
(15:36):
cool point of last night, and that was JD Vance's
wife coming out on stage. She's not a political person.
She is a mother, first has a wife, and she
stepped up on the stage. This is not her thing
to be a public speaker. And I always feel bad
for people that are expected to do amazing things on
(16:00):
the stage when it's just not what they do.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
They do, they're not trained for it.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Spouses and politics are treated like they are supposed to
be as good as their husband or their wife. And
I don't think that's fair, and there were people last
night that I hoped she didn't screw this up. I
thought that Jade Vance's wife did an amazing job introducing
her husband to the world, because there's a lot of
people that were going to watch JD for the very,
(16:27):
very first time.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I want you to hear her introduction.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Good evening, Good evening. When I was asked to introduce
my husband, Jadie Vance to all of you, I was
at a loss. What could I say that hasn't already
been said before? After all, the man was already the
subject of Ron Howard movie. JD has shared much of
(17:00):
life through his own eloquent words in his book He'll
Billy Elogy. During his Senate campaign and now as a
City United States Senator, it occurred to me that there
was only one thing to do to explain from the
heart why I love and admire JD and stand here
(17:21):
beside him today, and why he will make a great
Vice President of the United States. I met JD in
law school when he was fresh out of Ohio State,
which he attended with the support of the GI Bill.
(17:43):
We were friends first, because I mean, who wouldn't want
to be friends with JD? He was then as now,
the most interesting person I knew, a working class guy
who had overcome childhood traumas that I could barely fathom
to end up at Yale Loss School, A tough marine
who had served in Iraq, but whose idea of a
(18:05):
good time was playing with puppies and watching.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
The movie Babe.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
The most determined person I knew, with one overriding ambition
to become a husband and a father, and to build
the kind of tight knit family that he had longed
for as a child. My background is very different from Jad's.
I grew up in San Diego, in a middle class community,
(18:38):
with two loving parents, both immigrants from India, and a
wonderful sister that Jadie and I could meet at all,
let alone fall in love and Mary is a testament
to this great country. It is also a testament to JD,
(19:03):
and it tells you something about who he is. When
JD met me, he approached our differences with curiosity and enthusiasm.
He wanted to know everything about me, where I came from,
what my life had been like. Although he's a meat
and potatoes kind of guy, he adapted to my vegetarian
(19:25):
diet and learned to cook food from my mother Indian food.
Before I knew it, he had become an integral part
of my family, a person I could not meant could
not imagine living without. The JD I knew then is
the same JD you see.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Today, except for that Beard and.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
His goals in this new role are the same that
he has pursued for our family, to keep people safe,
to create opportunities, to build a better life, and to
solve problems with an open mind. It's safe to say
that neither JD nor I expected.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
To find ourselves in this position.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
But it's hard to imagine a more powerful example of
the American dream. A boy from Middletown, Ohio.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
You know, I got to say that I thought that
her explaining who he is and explaining what he stands
for and where he came from was one of the
most powerful moments of the night from someone that's like, look,
I married him, I love him, I want to support him,
(20:51):
and it was very real.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
It came across very.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Authentic, I think in the hall and I think it
translated on TV. It excited me for his family and
the story of where he came from is an important one.
It's going to relate to many different people, and I
got to say that was one of my highlights I
(21:16):
think last night in the convention hall was listening to
her introduce her husband that she's clearly so proud of
and the father of our children so proud of.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
These are the type of stories that I think we
as conservatives need to just enjoy and be excited at
the age of JD.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Van's I mean, he's younger than I am, for goodness sakes, and.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I never get to say that, and I just I'm
rooting for them. I love the fact that he is
this type of individual with small kids.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
It can relate to the family's real issues in.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
America today, whether it's public education, whether it's just paying
for things with kids, what the cost of living. These
are things that he brings the ticket because of his
age and his wife and their family.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
That is incredible.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Let me first start with just talking about how incredible
it was to see Donald Trump on stage and the
reception inside of that arena. I was there for what
I would refer to as a front row seat to history.
I also saw the president in a much smaller setting
(22:30):
right before, about an hour and a half before no
less than that thirty minutes before the convention started and
he went to his seat. And I want to first
start by saying, Donald Trump is a different person right now.
And I want to be clear, I don't mean that
in a bad way. This is something that has happened
(22:54):
because of the shooting and its perspective faith, a demeanor
that is very different. As I watched him speak to
this smaller group in a different tone, in a somber tone,
in a focused tone, I leaned over.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
To Senator Ted Cruz. I said, he's different. This is different.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
And if you watched the first twenty five minutes of
the speech that he gave, he was different. And then
he started to get a little bit of his campaign
groove back. There were people that criticize the speech last night,
y it's too long. And I said this when he
gave the speech, or afterwards when I was doing commentary
(23:41):
on Fox, and I said, you know, if you got
shot five days ago and survived an assassination attempt, you'd
have a lot to say too.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
I think I didn't mind it all.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
The link of the speech I as it was described
to me by one and I thought was a great analogy.
The first twenty five to thirty minutes. Was like church
on Easter Sunday. It's a sermon that is to the masses.
It is a sermon to people that maybe only come
to church one time a year and it's a packed house.
(24:16):
And then the second part of that speech, the long part,
was Sunday School with all the regular attenders. He gave
a clear message to the American people about what this
administration is going to look like, the Trump administration number one,
and why you should take a look at the agenda
that he has laid out and look at your life
(24:38):
and ask yourself questions about safety in this country, safety abroad,
economic issues.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
These are issues that affect the American people.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Many Americans don't feel safe in their towns anymore and
the cities they live in. They don't feel like their
government has their back on those issues and their prioriti
tizing illegal immigrants and criminals ahead of them because of
radical das and a wide open southern border. You look
at economic issues, it's very clear that many Americans believe
that Bidenomics has truly hurt their family. They's destroyed their
(25:17):
purchasing power, it has destroyed their ability to really focus
on a future that looks brighter, and now it's a
future that just looks like it's survival that has changed.
And so there were so many people, millions of millions,
that were going to tune in, not just because they're
(25:38):
maybe willing to give Donald Trump another chance, but also
because they wanted to hear what he had to say
about the assassination attempt on his life and being shot.
I think Donald Trump did an amazing job because most
people don't watch the entire speech. That's just the reality
of TV viewing habits. A lot of people that tuned
(25:59):
in that may wouldn't have normally tuned in. They watched
ten minutes, fifteen minutes more than they would have watched normally.
They would have gotten the highlights the next day on
social media on TikTok, on Instagram, on Facebook, etc.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
On x they said and listened to.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
A very somber and a very different president of the
United States of America by the name of Donald Trump.
I think many people that watched this speech were watching
out of curiosity to see what he was going to say,
how he was going to act, but also because they
have seen what's been going on with the Biden campaign
(26:40):
day after day now there's a civil war that's broken
out the Democratic Party, and that makes people want to
watch what the other side is saying and doing. It's
human nature. You then start hearing hours before Donald Trump's
going to take the stage that Joe Biden's probably not
going to be the candidate. More people tune in because
(27:02):
now this is like a sporting event. It's like one
team screwing up. What's the other team going to do
in response? You combine all that together, and I think
what Donald Trump said in that first twenty five minutes
of a speech was truly the most important speech that
he had ever made. And then as many of those
(27:25):
people were more than likely tuning out, he started talking
to his base. He started talking to the faithful conservative voter,
evangelical voter. I think the program last night was phenomenal.
I think the convention was unbelievable. It was the best
(27:46):
Republican convention I've ever seen with a party that is unified.
And I think this is going to be another reason
why it's going to be very hard to beat Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
The other big story.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
That is going to have massive ramifications on this election
is the reality that apparently Joe Biden is starting to
understand that he is not going to be the nominee,
that they believe that he doesn't have a chance to win,
(28:21):
and they are convincing him of that. Reporting coming out
now is at the big five families of the Democratic mafia,
the Clintons, the Obama's, the Schumer family, the Pelosi family,
and the new Jeffrey's family on the House side leadership
(28:42):
of the Democratic Party have all coalesced with the media
and the donors. So that's seven entities working together to
force him out. I've been told by sources that I
trust that Joe Biden is still holding on because he
wants to make sure that he gets a sweetheart neel,
(29:03):
a golden parachute that if he does come out and say,
I'm not gonna, you know, be the guy. I'm going
to finish out this term, but I'm not going to
be the guy that what actually would happen then is
that whoever gets this job, they're going to agree to
give immunity to my family. Hunter Biden's not going to
(29:26):
go to jail, My brother's not going to go to jail,
and I'm not going to be prosecuted or any other
family member. He wants to guarantee from what I've been told,
and I believe this to be true, that nobody with
the last name Biden is ever going to go to
jail because of the actions of the Biden crime family.
(29:49):
And he has leverage and the Democratic Party is more
than willing to give him that. The question is because
there's going to have to be a trust factor. You
trust Kamala Harris to not screw you, because if Kamala
Harris becomes the president and he decides to step aside
(30:10):
and not take the nomination, he's got to trust that
a woman in his entire career has been basically documented
with screwing the people closest to or no pun intended,
is going to be trustworthy enough to take a hit
in the polls to protect Joe Biden, because it's not
(30:34):
going to help Kamala Harris or any other Democrat that
becomes the president. If they did become the president, hypothetically,
it's not going to raise their approval rating if they
immediately say, oh, and by the way, here's all these
convictions against Hunter or Joe or his brother or anybody else,
(30:54):
and we're giving a blanket immunity, and they're all going
to be all sins of the Biden crime family are forgiven.
That is not good politics. So could you promise that
and not deliver on it? Absolutely? Do I believe that
Kamala Harris could lie to the face of Joe Biden. Yes,
(31:17):
I absolutely do, which is the reason why I think
he hasn't dropped out yet. It's the reason why the
family has isolated him. They have isolated him politically, They've
isolated him in the name of COVID. He has gone
into complete and utter hibernation from all reality and the
Democratic Party they know this, so they've got to sweeten
(31:40):
the pot. They've got to figure out a way to
convince a senile, paranoid, Alzheimer's dementia ridden individual that they
can be trustworthy, trustworthy enough that he can walk away
without having the ability to pardon his son, because there's
(32:02):
nothing to pardon him for yet, because his son, being
an idiot, didn't take, you know, tried to take a
deal that was too good and now is fighting in
these court cases instead of wrapping them up. I understand
how hard it is to deal with someone that has
Alzheimer's or dementia. If you've ever dealt with somebody with
Alzheimer's dementia.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
They dig in.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
They're irrational, they're not willing to usually compromise on things like, hey,
I need to take away your car keys. Hey, you
don't need to go out alone. Right, you're not going
to tell me that I can't go shopping by myself.
You're not gonna tell me I can't drive. They dig in.
So I think you're also dealing with that aspect of
(32:43):
Alzheimer's dementia with this clearly mentally incapacitated individual and that
paranoid individual who believes that now his entire party with
good reason. By the way, I don't think it's paranoid.
I think it's reality has turned on him and thrown
him to the wolves. I've never seen anything like this
(33:03):
in the Democratic Party, where these mafia style families, the
Biden you know, the the Bidens, used to be one
of the Big five. They're not anymore. They're on the outs.
Democratic Party have no need, no use for the Biden family.
In fact, you could argue that if the Biden family
went down for all of their corruption, right, all of
(33:28):
their corruption, that the Democratic Party would actually benefit from
crucifying them. Acting like that's not a part of the
Democratic machine. Nancy Pelosi wants to act like she's separate
from this corruption. The Clintons and the Obamas won't act
like they're separate of the Biden corruption. The Democratic Party
(33:50):
in general wants to act like they're separate from the
Biden corruption. The members of the House and the Senate
and the Democratic Party don't want to be tied to
a man who is this corrupt. If it's all coming out,
so now you understand why the machine has turned against
Joe Biden is in essence, kicking him out of the
(34:13):
White House and out of the Democratic monarchy is probably
the best way I can describe it. A guy that's
been there for forty plus years is now being fed
to the political wolves.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
The media, by the way, they're all on board with this.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Every single member of the media in the Democratic you
know media, however you want to describe them, every single
one of them, every single one of them is throwing
Joe Biden under the bus. They want to get rid
of him. Even his own cabinet is throwing Joe Biden out.
(34:54):
They're leaking everywhere his staffers within the White House, and
and they're almost trying to manifest destiny. This I think
they think if they say it loud enough, say it
often enough, leak it enough times where the fever pitch
continues to grow that Joe Biden's going to drop out,
Joe Biden's going to drop out, they can somehow turn
(35:15):
that leak into a reality, which which is a moment
of caution as well.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
Joe Biden could just say screw all, y'all.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
None of you are loyal, You're all scum, and if
I'm going down, you're all going down with me. In
other words, all of you in the party are gonna
you know, I'm gonna hurt all of you while you're
hurting me. This is going to be the biggest political
story going into the Democratic Convention, and the fact that
(35:44):
it's August and we still may not know who Donald
Trump's running against is completely and utterly insane. Make sure
you share this podcast with your family and friends, please,
because a lot of what I just played for you're
not gonna hear on the news.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
And I'll see you're back here tomorrow.
