1:30

we get into the nuts and bolts of the show

1:32

today and why it looks and sounds this way if

1:34

you're watching on YouTube or Blaze TV I want to

1:37

just say this to man I

1:39

have an immense amount of respect for and

1:41

truly one of the best public servants

1:44

of this era. Our

1:46

condolences to Congressman Thomas Massey

1:49

of Kentucky who announced

1:51

this morning that

1:53

his wife passed away. It

1:55

appears to be sudden. We don't really know any

1:57

other details yet. But just

2:00

It's an awful story, and

2:03

we just wanted to pass along our prayers and

2:05

sympathies to truly one of the great

2:08

public servants we have in America right

2:10

now, Congressman Thomas Massing. Great

2:15

public servants in most

2:17

eras of human history are rare,

2:21

but when you're in the kind

2:23

of era that we are in

2:25

right now, late stage republic nonsense,

2:27

Romans 1 judgment, a

2:31

godless era of everyone does what is wise

2:33

in their own eyes, they're even more rare.

2:38

And we were given a

2:40

very stark reminder of this last night,

2:42

and that's first and foremost

2:44

why the show looks like this

2:46

today. I wasn't actually

2:49

supposed to be home tonight. I've got a

2:51

family event. The Blaze asked me

2:53

to make an exception with that event to

2:55

get down here for the debate. I

2:57

of course honored that request, but that threw

2:59

my schedule off. We weren't even sure we

3:01

were going to have any show at all.

3:03

We made the decision, given

3:06

the urgency of the moment, to come in

3:08

here a little bit early. So you should

3:10

know I'm actually taping this earlier

3:13

than it will air live earlier in the morning.

3:16

I'm in a nice hotel, but it's one of those

3:18

modern industrial looks, so you don't have the greatest lighting

3:20

and background. So forgive that, and I forgot my microphone,

3:22

so forgive me. But we

3:24

just thought, given the urgency of the

3:27

moment and the

3:29

history that is unfolding right now as

3:31

we speak, that we needed

3:33

to come in here a little bit early this

3:35

morning before I had to head back home and

3:37

catch a plane. So I'm there for my family

3:40

later that we had to

3:42

address this. So I'm here in

3:44

kind of a makeshift environment in my hotel room. Why

3:46

did I not just go over to the Blaze 10

3:48

minutes away? There's no studio available

3:50

for me this time of the morning. So

3:53

I'm doing it here for my hotel room. Todd and

3:55

Erin are back there. And then they're going to take

3:57

over the second hour and as live. and

4:00

take over the commentary from there. But

4:05

I just wanted to make sure that I

4:07

had an opportunity here to empty the tank before

4:09

I jumped on a plane. Because

4:12

a lot is going to change, I think, between here now

4:14

and Monday. And a lot is

4:16

unfolding and happening as we speak. For

4:19

example, about an hour before

4:21

we started to tape, we

4:23

saw the extraordinary step, a good

4:26

friend of mine, but a member of

4:28

the United States Congress, Chip

4:30

Roy of Texas, announced

4:32

he's going to call for a resolution on the House

4:34

floor, demanding the

4:38

Vice President and the Cabinet invoke the 25th

4:40

Amendment due to the incapacitation of the President.

4:45

And the kinds of things that we have

4:47

been discussing on shows like this, as

4:51

possibilities are now realities. And

4:57

there's an old Chinese proverb, and you live

4:59

in interesting times. We have lived through some

5:02

very interesting times here, these

5:05

last four years. And

5:08

you ain't seen nothing yet, it appears. So

5:12

I don't want to spend too much time

5:14

breaking down what occurred last night. We all,

5:16

I assume, watched it, you watched it, millions

5:18

and millions did, the world watched it. I

5:22

did that for how many

5:24

hours on the blaze last night. What's

5:27

unfolding now is what we told you

5:29

ahead of time would unfold if Biden's

5:31

dementia at any point shine through. Now,

5:34

what I did not anticipate, even though

5:36

I anticipated the reaction we are

5:39

now seeing, if the dementia

5:41

flashed itself, but

5:43

what I did not anticipate is that

5:45

it would not just flash itself, it would be

5:47

omnipresent. At

5:49

no point was there a competent individual on

5:51

that stage last evening, at no point. At

5:54

no point was there anybody that could win any form of

5:56

a competency hearing in any court. Not

14:00

happening. I

14:03

told you 24 hours ago what scares me about this election

14:05

is I don't know what the margin of cheating is. I

14:07

don't need to know what it is. They will have no

14:09

polling narrative. They will have nothing. And they

14:11

know this. They don't have a narrative to run on.

14:13

They cannot run on their record. And so

14:15

their fallback, Obama didn't have a great record in 2012 either.

14:19

But they have created a fail

14:21

safe mechanism for winning elections, their record

14:23

they banned. And it's called racial and

14:25

identity idolatry. They

14:28

don't have that right now. That

14:31

doesn't mean Trump's going to win the black vote. But if the

14:33

election were today, I bet you'd win 25% of it. And

14:36

that's coming from the mocking the brothers be flipping guy. That

14:39

doesn't mean we're going to, you know, the Hispanics are going to

14:41

completely move over to Republicans. But I'll bet you if the election

14:43

today, Trump would win 40 to 45% of them minimum. And

14:50

the thing that you went into if you're the Democrats is

14:54

they know that on things like marriage amendments,

14:57

black and brown people tend to vote our way. They

15:00

know that on cultural issues, black and brown people

15:02

are actually much more aligned with us than Pete

15:04

Buttigieg. They know this. That's why I kept

15:06

telling you Pete Buttigieg was never going to be the nominee. Because

15:10

black and brown people are like, nope.

15:14

Nope. Not going with the charge of the light and

15:16

loafers brigade. That ain't happening. Nope. That's why

15:18

he's secretary of transportation instead. They

15:22

know this. The

15:25

problem is their record

15:27

is bad. Minority communities

15:29

and cities are being devastated. But

15:31

they have the fallback of the racial

15:33

identity idolatry. But now you're going

15:36

to tell those people that are suffering that we

15:38

now need you to vote for an openly senile

15:40

white guy with a black

15:42

woman waiting in the wings. But

15:44

we need you to vote for the senile white

15:46

guy who can't do the job and you all

15:49

just saw is incapacitated. You know, what

15:52

happens when you do that is you risk

15:54

a permanent fracture in your coalition. The

15:58

hardest thing to do is for

16:01

someone to violate an idolatry the

16:03

first time, to

16:05

go against the subculture the first time, to be

16:07

the first one. It gets easier after

16:09

that. And if you suffer

16:11

a fracture of your, of their racial identity

16:15

idolatry, you risk a

16:17

significant segment of those people never coming

16:19

back. Oh, maybe the Republicans

16:21

aren't our racist. And

16:23

I kind of like not paying, you know, top marginal tax

16:25

rates. Kind of cool. Not

16:27

having my kid murdered. I like that. Just

16:30

stick with that, I guess. They

16:33

can't risk that. And they know that. And

16:35

that's why you're seeing them act out now.

16:37

That's why MSNBC, Nicole Wallace had Joe Biden

16:39

dead. No one carries more

16:41

water for him, for him than in the

16:43

corporate media than she does. She pronounced last

16:45

rights five minutes after this debate last time.

16:47

You're just watching this all play out. They're

16:49

not like us. They do not let silly

16:51

things like laws, constitutions,

16:55

traditions, conventional wisdom,

16:57

mechanisms, devices. They

17:00

don't do that. They don't care

17:02

how their enemies will react. See,

17:05

on the Republican side, what happens is it is

17:09

what, what result

17:13

will the process let us achieve? It

17:16

starts with the process. What's achievable and then we'll

17:19

go for the result. On the

17:21

Democratic side, it's what is the

17:23

result and then we will just work the

17:25

process to get us the result that we

17:27

want. It's a completely different habitat. They

17:30

just operate differently. And

17:35

that's why he's gone. If

17:37

he's not gone, they

17:40

will suffer a 1932 type of loss. What

17:43

do I mean by that? That's the

17:45

Hoover election. Where

17:49

you're essentially asking your entire party

17:51

to gaslight the American people. No,

17:53

you're not seeing sandstorms wipe out rural

17:55

America. No, you're not seeing soup lines.

17:58

No, you didn't watch the stars. market crash.

18:01

No, you're not seeing 25% unemployment.

18:04

It took 20 years for

18:07

the Republican Party to dig out of that. And

18:09

it only dug out of that pit because

18:11

they found a way to nominate

18:13

America's greatest war hero since George

18:15

Washington, Dwight Eisenhower. Same

18:19

thing happened to the Democratic Party with Jimmy Carter. It

18:22

took them almost 20 years to come out of that pit. They

18:24

didn't win another national election until 1992. And

18:28

they had to

18:30

completely rebrand themselves.

18:33

And frankly, the Bill Clinton of 1992,

18:35

in some respects, had

18:37

more right of center messaging than Donald

18:39

Trump is running on right now. They

18:41

had to totally reinvent themselves. Go watch

18:44

the messaging of 1988. Dude, 1988,

18:46

Michael DeCaucus said it in a debate.

18:49

Well, if someone kidnaps my wife

18:51

and rapes her to death, I wouldn't want the death penalty

18:53

for him. 1992, Bill Clinton, three strikes

18:56

and you're out, we're executing everybody. And sister

18:58

soldier get off the stage. They had to

19:00

totally reinvent themselves after what happened with Jimmy

19:02

Carter. And

19:04

that will happen to the Democratic Party right here if they let

19:06

him on the ballot, which is why they're not going to do

19:08

it. 1932, 1976 kind of loss. We

19:16

also have to understand that we are not in

19:18

control of this process. And we never have been

19:21

this entire time. I've got my phone and you

19:23

can't even imagine. I didn't sleep till almost 2

19:25

a.m. last night. Blows

19:28

up 630 this morning. I've been, you know,

19:31

on everything all morning long, especially since

19:33

chip invoked the 25th Amendment. We

19:37

have not been in control of this process from the beginning,

19:39

going back to the primary. I

19:43

mean, they effectively used lawfare to end

19:45

the primary to make sure we nominated

19:47

someone that still most Americans don't want

19:49

to have to vote for. There are

19:51

two driving impulses in this election as

19:53

of right now. And

19:57

they were going back and forth between which was going to be

19:59

the main driver. Most Americans

20:01

don't want to have to vote for Donald Trump

20:03

again. Most Americans don't think

20:05

Joe Biden can do the job again.

20:08

These have been the two driving impulses

20:12

of this environment electorally. And

20:15

they've gone back and forth. Well,

20:17

now one is way out in front. We

20:21

saw a senile president on the stage.

20:24

That's way out in front now. And

20:27

the Trump narrative has taken a definitive backseat. That

20:30

doesn't mean it's gone, though. But

20:33

they've been in control of this process since they

20:35

put forth a lawfare process that effectively

20:37

ended the nomination. Go back and look

20:39

at the real clear politics polling average

20:42

on March 30th of last year between

20:44

DeSantis and Trump. And then go

20:47

and look at it on April 30th, and you're like,

20:49

what in the world happened? Well, March 31st, Albin

20:51

Bragg and Dydon Donald Trump ended the primary. We know that

20:53

now. Probably looking back

20:55

on it, should have known it then. Probably

20:57

in my case allowed my adoration for what

21:00

DeSantis has done as governor to blind me

21:02

to that fact. And I was maybe smoking

21:04

too much opium. But

21:07

we definitely, whether that's true or not, we definitely

21:09

know for sure it's a fact now after we

21:11

played out that way. And

21:13

they're in control of the process now. They're going to lay Biden

21:15

to rest. If

21:18

they invoke the 25th Amendment, Kamala will be

21:20

president. She'll have to be there now. Which

21:24

is why, by the way, if you're a Republican and you're pissed at what Chip

21:26

did, he did you a favor. Because

21:29

she would be the weakest possible

21:31

successor candidate that they

21:33

could nominate. Now,

21:37

she is a much stronger candidate right now

21:39

than Joe Biden, because she can

21:41

at least talk. Not well,

21:43

but understandable. It

21:45

wouldn't have taken Kamala Harris 45 minutes to call Donald

21:47

Trump a convicted felon, as it did Joe Biden last

21:49

night. And we think that he did that at 45

21:52

minutes into the debate, but we're not sure, because

21:54

we don't know what we're not sure about what

21:56

the hell he said the entire debate. If they

21:58

nominate Kamala Harris, they're going to be the best.

22:01

Kamala Harris, which you will see them do, is

22:03

run their most racially. It'll make Obama's era look

22:05

like a

22:07

class reunion. They will run

22:09

the most racially divisive campaign of all time.

22:13

Because even if they still lose to Trump, and

22:15

they might, they could very well. At

22:17

least she gives them the best chance to keep their

22:20

racial identity idolatry coalition intact.

22:23

The first black woman. They

22:25

will use the convention, up

22:28

until the debate on September 29th, they

22:30

will Michelle Obama her in branding.

22:33

Now, once that debate begins, she's on her own. And

22:36

she may collapse in front of the

22:38

American people. But that won't impose on

22:41

their racial identity idolatry coalition. Because

22:44

now there's a black woman to vote for. Those

22:46

18% of black men that voted for Donald Trump in

22:48

2020, he's not getting that this time.

22:51

Because their black women are gonna say, no you ain't.

22:54

She keeps that coalition intact. Now, white

22:57

suburbanites might be like, come

23:00

on now. Really? But

23:03

you know what, that's a singularity loss. You can put up

23:05

with that. You lost swing voters,

23:07

which are white suburbanites. Okay,

23:10

it doesn't permanently damage your coalition the

23:12

way keeping Joe Biden does. It

23:16

risks that. So

23:18

what then should we do? Well,

23:21

we're not in control of this process at all. But

23:25

that doesn't mean we don't have control over anything. I

23:28

think what needs to happen right now is there's a

23:30

leadership void in the country. And

23:33

I think Donald Trump needs to take advantage of this window

23:35

that he has right now and

23:37

behave as he did last night for

23:41

the most part. I mean, there was

23:43

that moment where they argued back and forth like

23:45

two guys at a nursing home about their golf

23:47

handicaps. But for the most part, Trump was very

23:50

reserved, restrained. There were a couple of moments frankly,

23:52

of artistic or of rhetorical flourish from Trump. That

23:56

were not trolls, but really effective political

23:58

messaging. Like the January 6th, question.

24:01

And Trump said on January 6th the

24:03

border wasn't wide open. On January 6th

24:06

inflation wasn't 20%. I mean, I thought

24:08

that was freaking phenomenal. There

24:11

was another moment when they asked him about

24:13

retribution. He said, my retribution will be the

24:15

success of the country. Another great, that's the

24:17

stuff we didn't see from Trump before, the

24:19

ability to flip a premise and turn it

24:21

around ideologically and intellectually. You know, before he

24:23

just got out of things with trolls. Pardon

24:26

me again here. It's a little early in the morning. You

24:33

saw that on January 6th,

24:35

the answer as well. You saw that

24:37

on the January 6th answer. You know,

24:39

this again, I'm trying to say this

24:41

prescriptively or descriptively, not prescriptively. Say

24:43

what you want. You know, we were still dealing

24:45

with the fallout of COVID and what have you.

24:47

But he flipped the script on the J6 question.

24:49

You know, on J6, this, this, this and this

24:51

were true, regardless of whether they actually were. But

24:53

this, this, this and this were true. They aren't

24:55

now. And there's only one guy to blame for

24:57

that. Yeah. I mean, there

24:59

were moments where, you know, he was able

25:02

to actually flip things the way a president

25:04

should and not just troll his way out

25:06

of it. Public needs to see

25:08

more of that. I would

25:10

not do a bunch of rallies where you riff. I

25:13

would go and do presidential events. I'd

25:15

be touring coal plants in

25:17

Pennsylvania. I'd

25:20

be touring manufacturing companies

25:22

in Michigan. I would

25:24

step into the void. I would act as if I'm

25:26

president. I'd go meet with foreign leaders that were friendly

25:28

to me. You know, even if it's Victor Orban in

25:31

Hungary, get that photo op act and

25:33

behave as a president right now in

25:36

every way other than setting policy, go meet

25:39

with Benjamin Netanyahu right now, go over

25:41

to Israel, meet with Netanyahu, step

25:44

into the void, act as your president, as the president

25:46

right now. Who knows how long this void,

25:48

I mean, I think, do I think it's, you know, 20, 50%? I

25:50

don't know what it

25:52

is, but I do think there's a better than 1%

25:54

chance by the time I land in Des Moines later

25:56

this afternoon, Joe Biden won't be president. It's at least

25:59

1%. So

26:01

I don't know how long this is going to last.

26:03

Take full advantage of it right now. There's a window

26:05

where he can be President Trump and act as a

26:07

president. He needs to raise his favorables. They're still way

26:10

too low. And his

26:12

polls, as I've analyzed for you before,

26:14

was largely, if not exclusively, because of

26:17

Biden's weakness. He needs to improve his

26:19

individual one-on-one relationship with the American people.

26:21

And the window is there. He was

26:24

good last night. He performed well. He

26:27

was an adult. He handled the questions.

26:29

He avoided getting into a douche pit

26:31

with the moderators. He was phenomenal. Ride

26:34

that momentum right now. Step into the void.

26:37

Act as president. And if

26:39

you don't pad your lead right now, when the moment

26:41

is there, I fear we're going to regret

26:43

it. This morning, as we're all

26:45

sitting around, slapping each

26:47

other's backs and

26:49

acting like our feces doesn't stink, convinced we

26:51

won this thing, that we're

26:53

going to look back on it now in 19 weeks and

26:55

say this was actually the moment we lost. We didn't take advantage

26:57

of it. And

27:00

they got to move him out and put somebody

27:02

else in, because I promise you this, whoever's next,

27:04

even if it's Kamala, you're going to see the

27:06

mother of all honeymoons. If

27:08

it's Kamala, whoever it is, before the next debate in September,

27:10

they're going to be at every pop culture function. They're going

27:12

to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live. They're going to be on

27:14

ESPN. They're going to be everywhere. Everywhere

27:17

to be branded as the next

27:19

big hope. Everywhere.

27:21

It just won't be a straight white

27:24

male. So we need Trump to build a big enough

27:26

lead right now to withstand the

27:28

rally that I promise you is absolutely

27:30

coming later. Build

27:32

up enough lead now. So they

27:34

had a 20 point lead in a basketball game. You know,

27:36

yeah, you get outscored by 10, 16 points, but

27:39

you still pulled it out in the end. Because all that

27:41

matters is, it doesn't matter about covering the spread, nothing that

27:43

matters. You just need to get to 270. Just

27:46

win baby, as Al Davis once said, that's it. But

27:49

you need to build that lead right now. Take

27:51

advantage of the moment now. The moment you helped

27:54

create, by the way, they

27:56

put all the rules against you. They did everything you could. You

27:58

had to take the deal. It was probably going to be your

28:00

own. only shot and you went in there and frickin crushed it.

28:03

Great, now ride that momentum right now,

28:05

become president of the United States in

28:07

every way, shape or form, other than

28:09

the making of policy. Step

28:11

into that leadership void and

28:14

get people comfortable with President Trump again.

28:16

Remind them that before the virus arrived,

28:18

as Erin just pointed out, America

28:20

was a pretty good place to live in from 2017 to 2019, especially

28:25

compared to what it is now. And

28:28

I fear if we do not take advantage of that moment, if

28:31

we come out of halftime leading by eight, when we ought to be leading

28:33

by 16, I'm

28:37

concerned about that. Because

28:39

the comeback's coming, that narrative is coming. The

28:42

honeymoon is coming. It's just a

28:44

matter of who they're gonna be celebrating it with

28:47

and trying to get us to celebrate with them. It's

28:51

coming. Okay,

28:54

so I wanted to make sure that I had a chance to

28:59

empty the tank there. And

29:04

there's a few more things I've got thoughts about,

29:06

but let's do this, let's take a break. And

29:09

when we come back, Todd, Erin,

29:12

the three of us will compare notes, all right? We'll

29:15

do that here in just a moment. All

29:23

right, back here on The Steve Day Show.

29:38

We'll get to Todd and Erin here in a second

29:40

here on Blaze TV Radio and Podcast. And I

29:43

mean the uncertainty right now, when

29:46

you stop and think about the fact that

29:48

last week they were telling us, you're

29:51

not seeing what you're seeing, these are cheap fakes. And this

29:53

week it's like, everybody now wants to

29:55

admit the president is senile because they know it'll

29:57

cost them an election. Now,

30:01

And this is another reason why it was good for Chip

30:03

to invoke the 25th Amendment. House

30:05

Republicans need to put House Democrats on the record

30:08

with this vote and

30:10

say, you know, how

30:12

long have you guys known about this? Why

30:15

re-align to the American people all this time? Who's really running

30:17

the country right now? And who's been running it for the

30:19

last few years? Because it sure

30:21

as hell isn't Kamala Harris. So who's really running the show?

30:24

This ain't Dick Cheney, George W. Bush. I

30:28

mean, the amount of uncertainty right now. I

30:31

mean, I

30:33

am at, you know, almost

30:38

the evening of 9-11 level of angst from

30:40

my country at the moment. And

30:43

I'm probably not alone. And

30:46

you're seeing that reflected in the uncertain state of the economy.

30:48

And that's again why you want to talk about talk to

30:50

our friends over at Burj Gold. I

30:53

mean, you guys were spending more on interest on

30:55

the debt right now than everything other than Social

30:57

Security. Did you know that? We're spending

30:59

more on interest on the debt than Medicare, on

31:01

our military, certainly

31:04

on you and me. That's

31:06

why you want to look at maybe protecting

31:08

your investments with an IRA and gold. Burj

31:10

Gold can help you make that switch and

31:13

have it cost you nothing out of pocket

31:15

like they've helped thousands of other Americans as

31:18

well. If you want to learn more about

31:20

how to convert an IRA or 401K into

31:22

an IRA and physical gold, which

31:24

is to the test of time up

31:26

against uncertain, unprecedented times

31:28

like this. Text

31:45

31:49

right, gentlemen, you guys are going to have your

31:51

own individual thoughts coming up here in the next

31:54

hour, along with the audience. But I

31:56

wanted to give you guys a chance for iron to sharpen

31:58

iron where I am concerned. And

32:00

either feedback or pushback on what you just heard

32:02

me lay out. Who wants to go first? Yeah,

32:04

I'll go. Uh, I

32:07

agree with the lion chair. I

32:09

push back on two fronts and it's

32:11

a degree of certitude thing. Not that

32:13

it's, I don't think

32:16

they are possible outcomes, but I

32:18

have nowhere near the degree of certitude that

32:20

Biden running, um, is

32:23

puts the party in a position akin to 32 or 76

32:25

because remember the people are the problem. We

32:30

have no idea yet if

32:33

the people, what the degree

32:35

they know about, how many watched if they even

32:37

care, we don't have

32:39

citizens anymore, largely. We have comfort

32:41

addicted consumers. And while

32:44

you're absolutely right, Steve, about the degree of concern

32:46

you have, a lot of people

32:48

resent that they have to think about this stuff

32:50

at all. And when you tell them who's running

32:52

the country. That doesn't actually,

32:54

they're like, people take care of this stuff. That's

32:56

how they think about it all the time, which

32:58

is how we got to this point with this

33:00

presidency. They did, they didn't want to

33:03

look. They didn't want

33:05

to look at COVID. They don't want to

33:07

look at their kids being trans. So in

33:09

no way do I believe that, uh, Biden

33:11

running again is that level of, uh, destiny,

33:13

uh, for their party, because we

33:16

don't know how much the people

33:18

actually care about what happened at

33:21

all. And I mean it. They resent the fact

33:23

that they have to think about it. They think,

33:25

of course, this is what the federal government is

33:27

for bureaucracy. That there's

33:30

people who are supposed to make the decisions.

33:32

They want to push this off.

33:34

So we don't know that yet. And secondly, uh, on

33:37

the Kamala thing, um, if

33:39

she became president, she would have to

33:41

run, I disagree, not

33:43

that I think, don't think that it's possible

33:46

that would happen, but I disagree that there's

33:48

like inevitability to that because of this entire

33:50

thing, the necromancing of Biden. We don't, we

33:53

can't, we can't, this

33:55

evil does not sleep. And I

33:57

know Steve agrees with me on. that

34:00

they will throw out whoever they

34:03

have to again

34:05

and it has to do with what

34:07

I just said about the people. They know they can get

34:09

over on the people like that. They

34:12

know there's no sudden line that they

34:14

can't cross. I want to be

34:16

wrong about that, but I have to

34:18

be proven wrong. So

34:21

let me respond first to your second point.

34:25

I think your pushback on your second point to

34:27

me is very valid. I

34:34

would amend my position that I just

34:37

articulated about the certainty that

34:39

they'd be stuck with Kamala as a

34:41

nominee if she has to become president

34:44

based on what you said because you

34:46

forced me to consider that it actually goes against

34:48

my own will to power. Like if I really

34:50

believe they have will to power, they're not going

34:52

to have any restraints on it where she is

34:54

concerned. So I agree with that. I

34:56

still think it is. Let me so let me amend

34:59

my statement based on your effective pushback on. It

35:01

is likely I will say now that

35:04

if she becomes president, they are stuck with her

35:06

as a nominee or they

35:08

will allow her to be the nominee.

35:10

It is likely. I won't

35:12

say it as a certain as maybe I articulated the first

35:14

time, but that's also

35:16

why I will disagree with your first piece of pushback.

35:20

It is because they have effectively done this to

35:22

the people. And now

35:25

the cover has been blown in broad daylight

35:27

last night that they are reacting this way.

35:29

They are reacting this way because they

35:31

are making people care who don't want to have

35:33

to care. They are making people

35:35

come to grips and confront this in ways they

35:38

don't want to have to come to grips and confront

35:40

this. And that's why that's

35:42

why they are reacting the way they are because

35:45

their fear is that they have organically

35:47

done something the Republican Party is either

35:49

unwilling or incapable of doing. And

35:51

that's waking up large swaths of normies

35:53

to the reality of the

35:56

of the joke filled weekend at

35:58

Bernie's. But frankly, when it were We're

36:00

laughing to mask the pain reality

36:03

of other people are running the country, and

36:06

it's certainly not this guy. And

36:08

that's why they're reacting the way that they are

36:10

now, is because of what you just said. It's

36:13

because they understand that that fear is now

36:15

real, that people are suddenly going to have

36:17

to care about things they don't want to

36:19

have to care about when they'd rather, as

36:21

you would like to say, set their feet.

36:24

And so they need to move on from

36:26

this to go back to anesthetizing the people

36:28

with bread and circuses. So it's because of

36:31

that, actually, that I'm not going to end

36:33

my belief on the first point at all.

36:36

But you certainly got me to reconsider my

36:38

second point. You're

36:40

right if they awaken. We're

36:43

used to people not awakening. That's my

36:45

point. Like, we don't know that yet. I

36:48

mean, it is very true. Listen,

36:50

you've got another hour. You're going to get the last

36:52

word. Okay. So let me say this. Yeah.

36:55

I'm going to trust that they know their people better than me. I'm

36:59

going to trust that they know what what what

37:01

awakes it, what reaches normies and what does not,

37:03

because the people I work with and roll with

37:05

don't have a damn clue. That's been demonstrated on

37:07

the right. Okay. Outside

37:10

of like Iowa, Georgia, half the time in Florida, we don't

37:12

have a damn clue. So I'm going to trust

37:14

that they know. And they're

37:16

hitting the panic button right now. Do you get

37:18

we had Jen Psaki going on MSNBC last night

37:20

saying, well, Biden didn't want to do this, but

37:22

the campaign convinced him it was a good and

37:25

smart thing to do. She's basically

37:27

telling you. They rolled

37:29

this old man into this so they could roll

37:31

him out. Okay. So the

37:34

way they're reacting, I'm going to listen

37:36

to them. Like let me put it in

37:38

a sports parlance. If

37:42

my opponent changes their game plan

37:44

against what I know they're good

37:46

at, there's a reason for that.

37:49

I'm going to trust they know they're somebody's hurt. I don't

37:51

know. Something's

37:54

happened within their team. I'm not aware of. Okay.

37:56

I may not be in their

37:59

talks, but within their. ecosystem, something's

38:01

changed and it's caused them to

38:03

proactively react to the situation before

38:06

I can even impose on them.

38:09

I mean, I just got a text from Chip 10 minutes

38:11

ago telling me, can you believe most of my colleagues

38:13

don't even want to go through with the 25th amendment? They're

38:15

clueless. We're not the ones driving this.

38:18

We're not in charge of this. We're not doing anything with it. And

38:22

I'm going to trust that they know their people better than

38:24

we do because they certainly have proven

38:27

to be more effective at both getting

38:30

the people to slumber and awaken on their chew

38:32

whenever they want the last few years. We haven't

38:34

done it one singular time. Aaron,

38:36

what about you? So

38:39

I think an important question to ask

38:41

at this juncture is we know and

38:44

you articulated this that the Democrats over

38:46

there, their highest ideal is will to

38:48

power. We are all in agreement on

38:51

this, correct? They're communists. Their

38:53

highest ideal will to power. That

38:56

is the air that they breathe. That is

38:58

their pursuit of life. That is their meaning

39:00

in life is attaining and wielding power. I

39:03

think it's important to ask at this moment as

39:05

it pertains to what they view

39:07

as the way forward.

39:11

What is their most precious instrument in

39:13

achieving that power and what has it

39:15

been for the better part,

39:17

especially of the last decade and a

39:20

half? That

39:22

is intersectionality. I would

39:24

say racial politics. We

39:27

have to ask ourselves here how big of

39:29

a deal. Yes, yes,

39:31

they they are necromancers. They did that back in

39:34

the Democrat primary of 2020. OK,

39:37

they they have just last week, you

39:39

know, Biden fumbling, mumbling, stumbling around. Those

39:41

are cheap fakes. OK, all of this

39:44

is in the pursuit of power. The

39:47

question then becomes if

39:50

Kamala Harris is kind

39:52

of their backup plan and they don't want

39:54

that, how precious

39:56

of an instrument of power is

39:59

intersectionality? because they would

40:01

risk betraying that instrument by

40:04

overlooking her. But at the same time,

40:06

she's a liability. How

40:09

big of an instrument? I don't know this. Do

40:11

you have any clue whether they would actually

40:15

pass over Kamala Harris in the pursuit

40:18

of a better candidate? Because I don't

40:21

think it's her capabilities or lack thereof. I

40:23

don't think it's the Kamala-Lob-Lity-Gook. I don't think

40:25

they care about any of that whatsoever. The

40:27

only thing they care about when it comes

40:29

to Kamala is the intersectionality part. And I

40:31

can't see them just overlooking that out

40:33

of hand. 100% agree with that. Whoever

40:37

replaces Biden on the ballot will not be a straight

40:39

white male for all the reasons you just articulated. Not

40:42

to mention, can you imagine the first Trump shows up on

40:46

stage, opens the debate with Gavin Newsom, and

40:48

says, hey, Junior, I sent my JV

40:51

quarterback after you a few months ago, and he kicked

40:53

your ass. And I beat his ass by 30 points.

40:55

What are you doing here? Election's over right there. So

40:59

Newsom is a damaged goods nationally, but

41:02

he's also a straight white male. So

41:05

yes, this would also

41:07

risk blowing up a rift in their

41:09

base to bypass a black woman for

41:11

a straight white male who also got

41:13

embarrassed on his one when he rolled

41:16

himself out to do an

41:18

audition last fall. He got absolutely embarrassed with

41:20

it. So can you imagine the memes would

41:22

just write themselves, hey, you guys went from

41:24

a candidate who pooped his pants to one

41:27

who had a poop map in his state.

41:30

You guys are full of poop. I mean, they're not going

41:32

to do that either. It's going to be the

41:34

intersectionality. It's going to be a non-white

41:36

male. Gretchen Whitmer might be

41:38

a redux to what happened to Hillary

41:41

and Elizabeth Warren. McKean

41:43

Jeffries. Time

41:46

Magazine ran a column over the weekend

41:48

talking about, I wish the

41:50

Democrats had a more moderate voice to

41:52

replace Joe Biden with. And the two names that

41:55

were in there were Gretchen Whitmer and Hakeem Jeffries.

41:57

OK, so as long as you're in the right

41:59

place, As long as it's not a white male,

42:01

a straight white male, they

42:03

can put in there, they could bypass Kamala with

42:05

somebody, with anybody who's not a straight white male.

42:08

Yeah, but it can't be a straight white male. I

42:13

don't think anybody, it's

42:19

simple, but it's not easy analyzing the way

42:22

forward. It's

42:24

simple in that we understand their pursuit of

42:26

power, will to power is the thing that

42:28

drives them. That's absolutely true.

42:31

How that manifests itself is, we're

42:35

looking at the mouth of madness, the mouth of hell,

42:37

and the language of hell is chaos. So you're gonna

42:39

be looking at a lot of chaos in the coming

42:42

days, I think. You're basically looking

42:44

at a games of throne episode is coming

42:46

to life, not house of cards, games of

42:48

thrones. All right, let me

42:51

talk about real estate agents I trust, and then I want us

42:53

to close out with getting your thoughts on what I said I

42:55

think Trump and the Republicans should do, all right? Well,

42:59

in these unprecedented times, bing, bing,

43:01

bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.

43:04

Goodness gracious. All right, since

43:06

we don't know who will be president in

43:09

10 minutes, all right, it's like when Reagan

43:11

said why he didn't have a summit with

43:13

43:53

right, we've got three minutes left. Let's talk about the

43:55

Trump side of this and

43:57

what I suggested there. What I would do if I

43:59

were advised. them your thoughts. Absolutely

44:02

nailed that part. Go out

44:04

there and be president. And

44:06

like last night where for the

44:08

most part he was

44:10

still Trumpian and if

44:13

you're Trumpian you're definitely coloring outside

44:15

the lines that's unavoidable but you're

44:18

not just like spastic vomiting rainbows

44:20

all over the place. And

44:23

so go out there and be

44:26

specific. Visit all the places

44:29

but start talking to the

44:31

extent that you can. Like I don't

44:33

know who wants to attach that's the

44:35

problem. Who wants to attach their wagon to

44:37

him yet? We don't know that's a huge

44:39

problem for Trump. But if you can get

44:41

people to say if he can put names

44:43

out there that are

44:45

willing to step into the breach

44:48

on various policy issues possible cabinet

44:50

people continue to show

44:53

people rallying around Trump

44:55

and not just it's nice to see

44:57

the crowds but we know how that works now

44:59

and they manipulated actual substance actual

45:01

experts on health care the people we know

45:03

the names that we'd like to see around

45:06

them they need to start getting around them

45:08

and show how they would do things differently

45:10

that it's it's not going to be the

45:12

clown show that it was last time. So

45:15

yes starting now go out there and be

45:17

president of the United States Steve you nailed

45:19

it. Yep you've got a

45:21

leg up right now there's that

45:24

there's no doubt about that and we don't know

45:27

as we're taping this this morning we'll have more when Todd and

45:29

I are live here in a few minutes about

45:31

what the Supreme Court will do on his immunity this this

45:34

could be a very very pivotal few days

45:37

for you but only if you choose to

45:39

make it so okay no

45:41

stupid no stupid memes being

45:44

tweeted out from your official account

45:46

just presidential an actual

45:48

adult in the room type of message

45:50

I think is what's going to be crucial. And

45:55

I think he's capable of it based on what I saw

45:57

last night guys he really didn't take this

46:01

I thought your description Todd was perfect. He was Trumpian,

46:03

but he was presidential I

46:08

Was starting to oh at the end when he's starting to do my golf

46:11

games better than your golf game I mean dear God He's

46:14

so good himself. You see that Joe were acting like children.

46:16

Let's let this yeah Instead of

46:18

demanding he gets the last word and go and go

46:20

and go and go he self edited again You

46:24

know, so I thought again. I loved your

46:26

description there. He was Trumpian his persona His

46:28

persona is gonna come and I would never

46:31

tell him if I were you know, his

46:33

right hand man I would never try to

46:35

take the coloring outside the lines angle away.

46:37

That's what sets your that's your brand That's

46:39

what sets you apart. Okay, but there's coloring

46:41

outside the lines man, you know, then there's

46:43

color on yourself, bro Okay, well

46:46

then don't know that it's an arms and

46:48

face Well, then to whatever instincts he

46:50

went in with last night knowing. Okay, I gotta

46:53

do this the same with Start

46:56

Grown-ups and say listen man. I

46:58

need I need your help Yeah,

47:01

all the people that he needs in his cabinet You

47:05

get the last word you get another hour time to finish that

47:07

point guys. I can get on a plane. All right We'll see

47:09

you on Monday What

47:35

a 24 hours it has been Just

47:38

taking a step back and looking at all that's

47:40

transpired since we got off the air yesterday The

47:43

entire nation got to

47:45

witness their faith in the White

47:47

House necromancers Absolutely shots on live

47:49

TV last night Whoever

47:52

was cooking the meth over at Camp David last

47:54

week for the last week Heisenberg

47:57

Walter white they were not and

47:59

then this morning at the Supreme Court

48:01

something conservative legal beagles have been clamoring

48:03

for, pining for my entire life, literally

48:06

my entire life. I've seen a few

48:08

takes this morning saying this is up

48:10

there with the Dobbs decision, Roe v.

48:12

Wade being overturned in terms of things

48:14

we didn't expect to see in our

48:16

lifetimes. Chevron deference, basically the deep state

48:18

can decide how much power it has.

48:20

That's shot. Hundreds

48:23

of J6ers perhaps this morning

48:25

breathing a sigh of relief. But

48:28

the real question everyone is asking

48:30

in terms of Joe Biden, what

48:32

happens next? The UK Daily

48:35

Mail just a few weeks ago came

48:37

out with the piece and quoted a

48:39

top democrat operative saying he believes there

48:41

are four individuals with the power to

48:43

determine the fate of Joe Biden. I

48:45

think at this point it's

48:47

pretty obvious there's just one person

48:49

with that power. And

48:51

what do you think? What do you think

48:53

happens now? What do you think the future

48:55

immediate and long term has to bear? We're

48:58

going to be talking about all that next

49:00

on a special Friday edition hour two of

49:02

the Steve Day show. Well

49:05

folks there's at least one university left in

49:07

the country that is not totally given over

49:09

to the spirit of the age and it's

49:11

our friends at Hillsdale. They are

49:13

less concerned with indoctrination than they are

49:16

critical thinking. They're still following their founding

49:18

mission going all the way back to

49:20

1844 to preserve the blessings of civil

49:22

and religious liberty with the kind of

49:24

education that will do exactly that. And

49:26

they remain on that mission to this

49:28

very day. You can

49:31

learn more at

49:33

days4for hillsdale.com. That's

49:35

days4hillsdale.com. There you're

49:37

going to find a short video

49:39

just over a minute long showing

49:41

how Hillsdale's work not only on

49:43

its Michigan and Washington DC campuses

49:46

but across the nation is effective

49:48

in defending American liberty. So take

49:50

some time to watch it today

49:52

days4hillsdale.com. That's days4hillsdale.com. I'm

49:54

Aaron McIntyre. He is Todd Urzon. We are

49:56

steering the ship hour two of this kind

49:59

of special Friday edition of the Steve Day

50:01

Show. We were talking about a

50:03

couple of weeks ago when we knew that Steve was going to

50:05

be down in Dallas for post-debate and

50:07

pre-debate coverage, discussing what to do about

50:09

the Friday edition of this show. And

50:12

we just decided, we've got to be here live,

50:14

at least for one hour, with all of the

50:16

Supreme Court. This was supposed to be the last

50:19

day of the Supreme Court's term. I

50:21

believe I saw on Twitter this morning,

50:23

or on X this morning, Todd, they've

50:26

actually added another day to their term,

50:28

Monday. So we're still waiting on the

50:30

big decision about Trump and presidential immunity.

50:32

I anticipate that's probably going to be

50:34

dropping on Monday. But we did have

50:37

two pretty major decisions this morning that

50:39

we'll talk about briefly in passing coming

50:42

up in just a few moments. Todd, any

50:44

dangling participles from specifically last

50:46

night at the debate? You

50:48

know, getting on social media

50:50

today, it's really interesting. I've

50:52

seen a divide in the

50:54

commentary about last night. When

50:57

it comes to actual brokers, power brokers

50:59

and the Democrat Party, I'm

51:01

seeing a lot of panic. I don't know if

51:03

you've seen this. I've seen a lot of panic,

51:05

a lot of legitimate panic. Here's Hakeem Jeffries. You

51:08

heard Steve quote him or talk about him, invoke

51:10

his name just a few minutes

51:12

ago at the bottom of last hour. Hakeem

51:14

Jeffries told the AP this morning, quote,

51:17

President Biden is scheduled to speak today

51:19

around noon. That was like

51:21

an hour ago. I still haven't seen him speaking yet.

51:23

Maybe he is. In North Carolina,

51:26

I'm looking forward to hearing from

51:28

President Biden. And until he articulates

51:30

a way forward in terms of

51:32

his vision for America at

51:34

this moment, I'm going to reserve comment about

51:36

anything relative to where we are at this

51:38

moment. Other than to say, I stand behind

51:40

the ticket. That's Hakeem Jeffries. Nancy

51:42

Pelosi talked to MSNBC. She says she

51:45

hasn't spoken to the president, says the party doesn't

51:47

need a new nominee, said that

51:49

speech today in North Carolina will

51:54

admit that he gave, from a

51:56

performance standpoint, not a great showing

51:58

last night. And

52:00

then. Then in terms of the

52:02

commentary, in terms of the sycophants,

52:05

typical sycophantic behavior. I saw Mark Cuban this

52:07

morning talking about, well, if the choice is

52:09

between feeble and ethical

52:11

versus jovial or whatever

52:15

descriptor he gave for Trump and unethical,

52:17

I'm going feeble and ethical.

52:20

There's a divide on the left right

52:22

now in terms of the sycophantic class

52:24

who really doesn't have much power brokering,

52:27

I should say, and the actual power

52:29

brokers and the Democrat Party. I'm seeing

52:31

that divide crystal clear this morning. Any

52:34

final comments, because we talked ad nauseam kind

52:36

of about last night and Steve's overall feelings

52:40

and outlook on where we're going from

52:42

here. Any final thoughts

52:44

on last night specifically, Todd? Well,

52:47

it's clear that we

52:50

all thought last night was a trap for

52:52

Donald Trump, and it was. He

52:56

ended up coming out clean on the other

52:58

side, but that's largely because it was also

53:00

a trap for Joe Biden, as we clearly

53:02

understand now. Joe

53:05

couldn't, I mean, it was

53:09

simply destiny, apparently, based

53:11

on his apothecary's inability

53:14

to keep up that he was going to

53:16

fall into that. That being

53:18

said, many of the disparate

53:21

reactions that you're talking about, I mean, Joe's

53:25

not a fait accompli. It's

53:27

not done. And here's why. Even

53:31

though Joe was necromanced out of

53:33

nowhere, and that can be done again

53:35

with a different candidate, revived

53:37

in 2020, handed this thing,

53:40

sold his soul, is wicked

53:42

along with his wife. No

53:45

one should shed any tears about being exited,

53:48

staged left. Here's

53:51

the thing, once you're in and once

53:53

you do that, it's not simply reversing

53:55

the process and kicking him back out.

53:57

The replacement part is easier. be

54:00

able to find a lot of Democrats willing to sell their

54:02

soul. The

54:04

frustrating part is they won't be dimension-ridden for the

54:06

deep state. But you'll

54:08

be able to find them. Here's the thing, though. Getting

54:10

rid of Biden, Biden and his wife. We're

54:12

going to be talking about that. Don't step on that quite

54:14

yet. Oh, don't step on it? Yeah, don't step on that

54:17

quite yet. Well, we're going to be getting to that. I

54:19

just wanted final thoughts last night, specifically, before we move on,

54:21

because we do need to talk about a couple of things

54:23

that broke this morning as we were actually taping that first

54:25

hour of the show. And we will get

54:27

back to the way forward in just a moment and

54:29

that's going to be what we'll spend the majority of

54:32

our time on today. The

54:34

Chevron deference basically is the deep

54:36

state equivalent of the quip. The

54:39

brain has decided that the brain is

54:41

the most important organ in the body.

54:43

That's my understanding of Chevron deference. It

54:45

basically says that administrative agencies, alphabet agencies,

54:47

correct me if I'm getting anything wrong

54:49

here, Todd, alphabet agencies get to decide

54:51

how much power they actually have. Conservative

54:53

legal beagles my entire life. This stemmed

54:55

from a 1980s case, I want to

54:57

say, where

55:00

the Supreme Court said, yeah, alphabet agencies basically

55:02

get to make their own rules and laws

55:04

and follow them. It's a lot

55:06

more complicated than that. I'm trying

55:09

to not dumb it down, but to

55:11

make it as briefly understandable as possible.

55:14

Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision today

55:16

basically said, nope, no more Chevron deference.

55:19

No more of that. We're getting rid of

55:21

that 6-3 on ideological lines. Something I saw

55:24

a couple of people this morning, including Michael

55:26

Knowles, who's a very smart man over at

55:28

The Daily Wire. In his mind, this

55:31

is up there with Dobbs in terms

55:33

of something he never thought he would

55:36

see actually nixed within his lifetime, Dobbs

55:38

being, of course, Roe v. Wade. So

55:40

that is some good news, we think,

55:43

in terms of Chevron deference being overturned.

55:45

I have a very specific question about

55:47

the other major ruling this morning as

55:49

well, which is SCOTUS decided on obstruction

55:52

charges relating to January 6.

55:55

They decided in a 6-3 opinion that

55:58

the Justice Department overstepped. by

56:00

charging hundreds of people who

56:02

rioted or were involved in

56:04

whatever happened at January 6th

56:07

at the Capitol. They decided

56:09

the Justice Department overstepped with obstruction charges

56:11

for hundreds, I think 350 people. It

56:13

also pertains

56:15

to Trump as well. He was charged with

56:17

obstruction in kind of an unrelated matter too.

56:20

Six to three decision. This is good

56:22

news for hundreds of J6 defendants. What's

56:26

interesting about this decision though, you may have seen

56:28

this already, Amy Coney

56:30

Barrett sided with the

56:32

liberals, while

56:35

Contagio Brown Jackson sided

56:37

with the conservatives in this

56:39

ruling. You can't make this stuff up. At

56:43

this point, I talked about this briefly earlier this

56:45

week, Todd, when it comes to Amy Coney Barrett.

56:49

Her devolution has kind of been the end

56:51

of the end of whatever youthful glimmer I

56:53

had in my mind, optimism about the political

56:55

process, the machinery of politics.

56:57

We had just come through COVID that

57:00

year at the end of 2020, I believe, when

57:02

she was confirmed to the

57:04

Supreme Court. And I

57:07

saw the picture that she had just

57:09

amazing family, a big family that had

57:11

had grown through adoption, a multiracial family.

57:13

And I thought just that alone is

57:16

indicative of some fruit on a tree that

57:18

was rooted in something transcendent, good, true and

57:20

beautiful. And I, every, she had

57:22

clerked for Antonin Scalia. I was so optimistic

57:25

and watching her devolution

57:27

as a Supreme Court justice

57:29

has crushed whatever optimism I've

57:31

had, at least for the machinery of

57:34

politics. We're getting

57:36

into the territory now with Amy Coney Barrett,

57:38

siding with the liberals and the Supreme Court

57:40

in this ruling this morning against

57:42

the J6ers. I have a question. Does

57:46

somebody have something on Amy Coney Barrett? And

57:48

I'm not saying that tongue in cheek. I

57:51

just can't make sense of somebody who comes

57:53

from the background that she does clerked

57:57

for Antonin Scalia like she did.

58:00

I don't understand what

58:02

is going on with her. Todd, do you think

58:05

this is an actual sober

58:07

question to ask? Well,

58:09

I haven't read

58:11

the particulars of the dissent

58:14

yet, other

58:16

than knowing that her name is

58:18

on it. But yet, I

58:22

ask that question all the time about a lot of

58:24

different people, but

58:26

the person that may just have something on her

58:29

is a demon, just like so many others. I

58:31

mean, that's what you, you act,

58:33

you start acting like this

58:35

when you let forces

58:37

in far

58:39

beyond your understanding, and you can do that for

58:41

a lot of different ways. I just say, this,

58:45

and Michael Knowles commenting on the

58:47

other decision, you know, these are good

58:49

decisions, but when they're also

58:51

kind of like inexplicable,

58:54

we just got done, I mean, how many

58:56

days ago was Steve just

58:59

two days ago, right, on the speech

59:01

issue? There's

59:03

still dots that don't connect. I know.

59:06

And that level of chaos, it

59:09

feels like a life raft today. The

59:11

debate kind of

59:14

does a little bit, but

59:16

there's, folks, I

59:18

mean, there's just too, there's too many people,

59:20

as I've said, that aren't invested in being

59:22

citizens, and in a nation of we

59:25

the people, yes, Chevron, Dox,

59:27

and Dox, and exit stage left,

59:29

who fills that power vacuum? If

59:32

it's not we the people, guess

59:34

what? It's probably something bad again.

59:37

So I have lots of

59:39

questions, and you're right to ask that one about

59:42

Amy Comey Barrett, and a lot of other people

59:44

as well. So those are

59:46

kind of the breaking news items from this

59:48

morning, the big decisions at the Supreme Court.

59:50

We're still waiting on presidential immunity, but I

59:52

believe I saw on Twitter this morning, on

59:54

the X this morning, keep calling it Twitter,

59:56

just like Amy Coney Barrett did in the,

1:00:00

in the mixing of the First Amendment decision that she made

1:00:02

the other day. I

1:00:04

saw they added another day to their term.

1:00:06

So we're going to be on pins and

1:00:08

needles, I guess, through the weekend. It kind

1:00:10

of does help because it lets the debate

1:00:13

last night permeate over the weekend

1:00:15

without having another immunity

1:00:17

or another major ruling involving

1:00:20

Donald Trump's legal woes or

1:00:22

persecution filling that

1:00:24

airtime. So with

1:00:26

that being said, with the breaking

1:00:28

news being covered, the

1:00:31

big question everyone is asking, rightfully so

1:00:34

this morning. I asked this last night

1:00:36

on Ex-Soliciting, just what

1:00:39

you think out in listener lands.

1:00:42

You hear with us what you think will

1:00:44

happen next when it comes to Joe Biden.

1:00:46

And there is a kaleidoscope

1:00:49

of answers out there, ranging from

1:00:51

nothing's going to happen, ranging to

1:00:54

the weirdest possible outcomes.

1:00:56

And we'll get to those a little bit later. But

1:01:00

I don't know if you saw this, Todd. A

1:01:02

couple of weeks ago, the Daily Mail, the UK

1:01:04

Daily Mail, came out with a piece called something

1:01:06

akin to the Democrats' secret

1:01:08

plan to replace Joe Biden.

1:01:12

And it detailed how power brokers

1:01:14

within the Democratic establishment are weary,

1:01:16

are starting to get a little

1:01:18

bit leery, I

1:01:21

should say, of Joe Biden's mental acuity

1:01:23

or lack thereof. As we're

1:01:25

speaking, he finally is on stage in North

1:01:27

Carolina for his event. And

1:01:30

he doesn't look much different so far from the

1:01:32

videos and clips that I've seen. Doesn't look much

1:01:34

different than he did last night. Well,

1:01:37

in the story at the Daily Mail, it

1:01:40

quoted an anonymous Democrat, top

1:01:42

Democrat operative. And this

1:01:44

Democrat operative had this to say about

1:01:46

really who has the power to

1:01:49

ensure that Joe Biden steps down.

1:01:51

Quote, now dailymail.com has

1:01:53

learned that if Joe stumbles in that

1:01:55

first face-off with Trump or if his

1:01:57

polling numbers keep falling, it'll take a

1:01:59

united- front of the liberal grandees to

1:02:01

make Joe throw in the towel. Quote,

1:02:05

the only people who could force him

1:02:07

out would be Barack Obama, Bill Clinton,

1:02:10

Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck

1:02:12

Schumer. It's a

1:02:14

Democratic strategist, a top Democratic

1:02:17

operative. Four people. Bill

1:02:20

Clinton, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer,

1:02:22

Nancy Pelosi. I

1:02:25

don't buy that. Because

1:02:28

at this point, it's become

1:02:30

increasingly obvious in my mind.

1:02:33

And it's been months and months ago when

1:02:35

I first pointed this out when we started

1:02:37

having these conversations about what if they need

1:02:39

to replace Joe Biden. I

1:02:41

pointed this out many moons ago,

1:02:44

that there's only one person I think who

1:02:46

will decide that fate. And

1:02:49

that is Dr. Jill Biden.

1:02:55

I think she is the most

1:02:57

powerful woman, maybe

1:02:59

the most powerful being right

1:03:01

now in this country.

1:03:06

Todd, you worked in a

1:03:08

newsroom before. Yeah. So you

1:03:10

know a thing or two about being

1:03:13

around people who believe

1:03:15

deep down in their souls that

1:03:18

they are much more important, much

1:03:20

more necessary than they

1:03:22

actually are. Yes. They have

1:03:24

an outsized view of what their worth

1:03:27

is in terms of economic ability, things of

1:03:29

that nature. journalism is magical and not at

1:03:32

all broken. Yes. You have a good idea

1:03:34

of what it's like to work with people

1:03:36

who if they had a doctorate, they would

1:03:38

insist on being called a doctor, even if

1:03:41

they weren't a medical doctor. Correct.

1:03:44

This is the type of person that we're talking

1:03:47

about. And just look at

1:03:49

this photo from last night post debate.

1:03:53

If you're listening on Blaze Radio or

1:03:56

the podcast later on, this

1:03:58

is a photo of the post-debate

1:04:01

speech event that the

1:04:03

Biden campaign held. In

1:04:07

standing there are Joe and Jill

1:04:09

Biden. Joe has that same just

1:04:11

dazed, mouth agape, unblinking

1:04:14

look on his face, not

1:04:17

moving, while a,

1:04:19

let's call it very animated, Dr.

1:04:21

Jill Biden screams into

1:04:23

the microphone. It

1:04:28

seems to me, Todd, somebody who insists

1:04:30

on being called Dr. Jill Biden, even

1:04:32

though they're not a real medical doctor,

1:04:36

probably has, let's just

1:04:38

say, an outsized view

1:04:40

of themselves, probably. I

1:04:46

think this is a type of person, this

1:04:48

is the type of person we're dealing with

1:04:50

when we're talking about Jill Biden. It

1:04:53

seems to me that the most powerful being

1:04:55

right now is her, she

1:04:57

is going to be the one who

1:05:00

decides the fate of her husband, Joe

1:05:02

Biden. Because

1:05:04

at the end of the day, yes, we

1:05:06

just talked about the will to power, she

1:05:08

understands this as well. The

1:05:10

end of the day, it's going to be

1:05:12

the Bidens who decide whether or not the

1:05:15

Bidens step aside. And when

1:05:17

we're talking about the Bidens, as

1:05:19

was made obviously and painfully, and

1:05:22

just terrifyingly clear last night, we're

1:05:24

talking about the Biden, and that is Dr.

1:05:26

Jill Biden. She will decide,

1:05:28

she will be the one to decide whether

1:05:31

or not Joe goes. That

1:05:33

is not withstanding a medical event that

1:05:35

leaves her no choice whatsoever. But

1:05:38

ultimately, if we're talking about going through

1:05:41

this process and willfully removing

1:05:43

Joe Biden, they have to

1:05:46

consent to it one way or another. And

1:05:48

as long as she can convince the

1:05:50

necromancers to get him off of his

1:05:52

keister every single day for the next

1:05:55

several weeks before the election, few

1:05:58

months. I

1:06:00

don't think Joe Biden is going anywhere.

1:06:02

I don't think there's a dollar number.

1:06:06

I don't think there's a dollar number that could buy off Joe

1:06:08

Biden. She has an outsized

1:06:10

view of herself, an outsized

1:06:12

view of what she brings to the table. And

1:06:15

I think she's actually going to be the one

1:06:17

to decide the fate here. Todd,

1:06:20

what do you think about my

1:06:23

postulation? It's something you've brought up in

1:06:25

passing, and I know you are chomping

1:06:28

at the bit to get in on

1:06:30

this conversation. That's what I was setting

1:06:32

up earlier, but it's more than just

1:06:34

about that level of ego. That level

1:06:36

of ego is necessary to jump into

1:06:38

this game of chicken, but

1:06:41

it's about knowing where the bodies are buried. This

1:06:44

is the thing. Once you're dragged into this

1:06:46

game, and

1:06:49

yes, I'll sell my soul, I'll do whatever, but then,

1:06:51

I mean, you're the commander in

1:06:53

chief. They know all kinds of things about all kinds

1:06:55

of people. How about

1:06:57

when I talk about the reverse Wakanda

1:06:59

in Ukraine? How

1:07:02

deep that goes with the

1:07:05

Bidens, but on behalf of

1:07:07

this much larger cabal of God

1:07:09

only knows who? This

1:07:12

ain't just the Joe and Hunter show. They

1:07:14

know a lot about a lot of stuff, and

1:07:17

that's the thing. Those six people or five

1:07:19

people, I remember you mentioned the ex-presidents. That's

1:07:23

the game of chicken I'm talking about. If they would have to come in

1:07:25

there, it wouldn't just

1:07:27

be like, Joe, I think it's your time. Oh

1:07:29

no, it would be like. Does that woman look

1:07:31

like she's about to consent to having her husband

1:07:33

stripped from the most powerful title on the face

1:07:35

of the planet? No, she would say, here are

1:07:38

the things I'm going to leak

1:07:40

about you, or just flat out

1:07:42

say about you, if you try to throw us out,

1:07:45

and they in turn would say, oh yeah, we're

1:07:49

gonna spill all this

1:07:51

further garbage about you. It

1:07:54

would be nasty. And that's why you get

1:07:57

how Keem Jeffries, like that guy's

1:07:59

not a fan. afraid of

1:08:02

putting out a scathing hot take

1:08:04

about something. And he's like, really,

1:08:06

you know, are

1:08:09

my eyes dotted? Are my T's crossed? Let's

1:08:11

wait and see because nobody has any clue. Everybody

1:08:15

knows that these Bidens, the same

1:08:17

soullessness and shamelessness that had them

1:08:19

willing to take this seat on

1:08:21

when they were going nowhere. But

1:08:24

once you're in, you know stuff.

1:08:27

Just, hey, I don't care how dementia

1:08:29

written. Now, as long as this is

1:08:31

my point about the people, if

1:08:34

the people were actual citizens, it'd be

1:08:36

entirely different ballgame. The

1:08:38

left one in want, the left would like, we have

1:08:40

to be better than this. They don't

1:08:42

want to be better than this. They aren't. The

1:08:44

right is dysfunctional,

1:08:47

worried about mean tweets, things like

1:08:49

that. We

1:08:51

don't have citizens in this country. So

1:08:54

this is going to be very, very

1:08:56

interesting. And I'm just simply not convinced

1:08:59

that the American people are now suddenly

1:09:01

aware in a new way of, wow,

1:09:04

yeah, this Joe Biden thing, we're tearing on

1:09:06

the edge. People are laughing at us. Most

1:09:09

people don't care. So

1:09:12

how do you square that though, with what you've agreed

1:09:15

with earlier this hour, that

1:09:19

it does seem like the power brokers

1:09:21

are indeed scared? Why, how do you

1:09:24

explain that? If the American people aren't

1:09:26

scared and that quote that you

1:09:28

had last hour was cash money, I

1:09:31

kept thinking about it over and over again.

1:09:33

It's been bouncing around in my head. Basically,

1:09:35

the people resent having to think. Yes. That

1:09:39

explains a lot. So how do you

1:09:41

square what's obvious panic from the power

1:09:43

brokers with your, I think probably at

1:09:45

least 80% correct assertion that

1:09:47

the American people don't care

1:09:50

and there's no new revelation.

1:09:52

I'm not sure that's totally true. I mean,

1:09:54

Steve just texted us right before

1:09:57

the start of this hour, sports handicapper who

1:09:59

he's following. followed his entire life on

1:10:02

his deathbed right now, has never

1:10:04

said or mentioned or talked about anything remotely

1:10:06

political, tweeted out last night for the first

1:10:08

time, Joe's got to go. He's

1:10:10

got to go. I mean, I think we had

1:10:13

Kirk Herbstreat, another sports figure, last night. He doesn't

1:10:15

really tweet much politically either. He was just like,

1:10:18

oh my goodness, this is ridiculous. I think

1:10:20

this penetr- I do agree this penetrated. I

1:10:22

don't know how much. I

1:10:24

took the under when Steve said 60 million

1:10:27

people would tune into the debate. I took the under.

1:10:29

I'm not so sure about that. Anecdotally,

1:10:32

anecdotally, I saw a lot of people on my

1:10:34

timeline who I don't follow for politics. They were

1:10:36

tweeting about watching the debate. So I'm

1:10:38

not sure. I do think this has

1:10:40

penetrated a little bit. I do agree

1:10:42

with your overall mood of the people,

1:10:44

that they resent having to think about

1:10:47

anything serious. But how do you

1:10:49

square the obvious panic with the American people's mood? I

1:10:52

think both things can be true at the

1:10:54

same time. I mean, everybody is quote unquote

1:10:57

human to some extent. You go from

1:11:01

a population that can totally

1:11:03

give up trying

1:11:06

on COVID in

1:11:09

many ways, doesn't give

1:11:11

a damn about whether their kids are transing or

1:11:13

not. I want to be

1:11:15

comfortable. But suddenly, when

1:11:17

a debate's on, even if

1:11:19

you were right, Aaron, that's

1:11:22

60 million people, that's

1:11:24

still what? 55 more

1:11:26

million people than are normally paying attention

1:11:28

on any given day. And you feel

1:11:31

like you can't quite control the narrative

1:11:33

within this news cycle. But

1:11:35

here's what even they forget.

1:11:37

And we all do, to some extent,

1:11:40

within this news cycle. Hey, guys, it's not even July

1:11:42

1 yet. The election's

1:11:44

in November. That's a political

1:11:46

eternity. Like you said, we don't know what's going

1:11:48

to happen. Can you imagine if this is whatever

1:11:51

this ruling is on Monday is the worst case

1:11:53

scenario for Trump? And

1:11:55

then instantly, we're toggling

1:11:57

in a totally different direction about what this

1:11:59

means. whether they try to actually put him

1:12:02

in jail or not. There's so

1:12:05

many things that could happen between

1:12:08

now and the

1:12:10

election day. So I think they are being

1:12:13

wise as serpents. They're

1:12:15

seeing that they need to keep their options open.

1:12:19

And they're not wrong about that. They

1:12:22

absolutely do need to

1:12:24

have a workable plan in

1:12:27

place for exiting Joe stage

1:12:30

left. But I think, you know,

1:12:32

work, I don't, tell

1:12:35

me if I'm wrong. You are, and I

1:12:38

usually over, I mean, all three of us

1:12:40

overlap on this to some extent. But

1:12:43

I think you and I are the closest.

1:12:46

Isn't the value bet that

1:12:49

once we get into the July

1:12:51

4th weekend, you

1:12:53

like people,

1:12:57

and the top five things on people's mind, is it

1:12:59

going to be for your average American, is it going

1:13:02

to be Joe

1:13:04

Biden's leadership

1:13:06

of this country? I just don't believe

1:13:08

that. If politics is brought up, I

1:13:11

believe his performance will be talked about. If

1:13:13

it's brought up at independent state gatherings, his

1:13:16

performance is brought up. I just don't know

1:13:18

how much politics is brought up across

1:13:21

the board. There is one aspect

1:13:23

here that I always manage to forget

1:13:25

about in terms of timing. You

1:13:27

know, we say the Democrats have a couple of

1:13:29

months here before their convention. That's true. And

1:13:32

Steve's position was this entire time that

1:13:34

this very, very early debate was done

1:13:36

on purpose to give the Democrats time

1:13:39

to find a replacement. However,

1:13:41

now this might just be forget

1:13:43

about it, will to power, don't even worry

1:13:45

about something like this. This is a jot

1:13:47

and tittle detail. But

1:13:49

is it worth considering? And this is something

1:13:52

I forget about quite often. When

1:13:55

are ballots actually printed? There

1:13:58

are a few states coming up here. Really,

1:14:00

I think in about a month that will

1:14:02

begin early voting, once you

1:14:04

print ballots, you can't unprint them. What

1:14:08

I'm saying here is there may be

1:14:10

less time than we actually considered to

1:14:12

begin this to actually successfully get Joe

1:14:15

Biden off of the ballots. Is that

1:14:17

something we need to worry about or

1:14:19

consider into our calculations here? Or

1:14:21

is this just a will to power? Don't worry

1:14:23

about it. They'll figure something out. That's

1:14:26

funny in particular because the

1:14:29

Democrats set up this absurd

1:14:32

scenario where you can start voting

1:14:34

this early. This is boomeranging back

1:14:36

on them. That

1:14:38

one I'm laughing about. You're

1:14:42

stuck with that, Democrats. I

1:14:45

think you're right to realize it as

1:14:47

a reality. We don't have a ... Republicans

1:14:50

haven't really addressed this one way or the

1:14:52

other. That's a moot point

1:14:55

to us. At

1:14:58

Camp David last week

1:15:00

during the debate prep, debate

1:15:03

prep, what do you think that actually entailed now

1:15:05

that were past the debate? I don't know. But

1:15:08

at the debate prep, rumor has it there

1:15:10

were a lot of these running, particularly in

1:15:15

the bedroom of the most powerful human

1:15:18

being in this country. A lot of these.

1:15:21

Here's Steve with a word from our next sponsor.

1:15:24

Ladies and gentlemen, you know I keep

1:15:26

telling you how popular the Eden Pure

1:15:28

Thunderstorm air purifier is with this audience

1:15:31

because it's a purifier. It's not a

1:15:33

fresher. It eliminates the components that are

1:15:36

causing the bad smells in your home.

1:15:38

It does it with its oxy technology

1:15:40

that won't require any filter replacements out

1:15:42

of pocket or out of time forever.

1:15:44

Just turn it on and forget about

1:15:47

it. It'll quietly work in the background

1:15:49

cleaning. And then as

1:15:51

a result of the purifying freshening

1:15:53

the air in your home. Alright, so

1:15:55

place a thunderstorm in your bedroom, family room,

1:15:57

kitchen or basement. They even make great gifts.

1:16:00

get the free pack for whole home protection and

1:16:02

get $200 off. When

1:16:04

you visit edenpuredeals.com and use discount

1:16:06

code Steve3, that's

1:16:09

edenpuredeals.com discount code Steve3. Yeah,

1:16:13

if the White House apothecary doesn't have a

1:16:15

truckload of those ready to go for any

1:16:17

moment, particularly around Joe

1:16:19

Biden, they need them. So

1:16:22

coming up next, we want to know what

1:16:24

you think. What do you

1:16:27

think the future holds? Both

1:16:29

near term and long term as

1:16:31

it pertains to Joe Biden, and what is

1:16:33

done about him, to him, for him, around

1:16:35

him. I asked you

1:16:37

that question last night on X. I have

1:16:39

selected several actual

1:16:42

submissions I found interesting, compelling, unique.

1:16:45

Todd and I will react to your reactions

1:16:47

coming up next on a special hour

1:16:50

two of the Friday Steve Days

1:16:52

show. Donald

1:17:06

Trump says he thinks Robert B. Wade was a

1:17:08

beautiful thing. That

1:17:16

is Joe Biden just moments ago in

1:17:18

North Carolina doing

1:17:21

a wonderful job assuaging Democrats

1:17:25

despair this morning. Yes, Todd, doing

1:17:29

a great job. Oh,

1:17:34

man, that quote from Hakeem

1:17:37

Jeffries that I read towards the top of

1:17:39

this hour, basically

1:17:41

saying, I'm not going to say anything

1:17:43

on the record right now. I

1:17:46

want to hear from Joe Biden. Well,

1:17:48

you're hearing from Joe Biden so far this

1:17:50

morning. We are still awaiting the

1:17:53

ratings. How many people watched

1:17:55

last night's debate? What did Steve say? It's around

1:17:57

80 to 100 million people. typical

1:18:00

debates over the last 20 years or so, it'll

1:18:03

be interesting to see. Because as I said,

1:18:05

there were a lot, a lot of people

1:18:08

last night that I follow on X,

1:18:10

not for politics or anything, that were

1:18:12

actually tuning in and paying attention to

1:18:14

this. Again, that's just anecdotal. I understand

1:18:16

that, but it will

1:18:19

be very telling, I think. It could

1:18:21

inform, depending on how many

1:18:23

people actually watched that debate, it actually

1:18:25

could inform what, if anything, the Democrats

1:18:27

will do going forward. Which is

1:18:30

what I asked you last night on X, what

1:18:32

is the way forward? What will happen next

1:18:34

when it comes to Joe Biden? We'll

1:18:37

get to your reactions to that

1:18:40

debate and what's going to happen next in

1:18:42

just a few moments before Steve tells you

1:18:44

about another one of our fine partners. Check

1:18:47

out the new book, Full-Time, Work and the Meaning of

1:18:49

Life by David Bonson. You know, we were created for

1:18:51

work and our work provides

1:18:54

unique meaning and purpose in our lives. It's

1:18:56

one of the great ways and primary ways

1:18:58

that we glorify our creator. And yet today

1:19:00

there's almost a stigma to it. And

1:19:02

we've gone so far the other way. When I was growing up

1:19:05

in the 80s, we were off

1:19:07

track one way. Greed is good.

1:19:09

No, it's not, right? Materialism for

1:19:11

materialism's sake, success for success's sake,

1:19:14

prosperity for prosperity's sake is not

1:19:16

good. That's greed, okay? But now

1:19:18

we've gone the other way, work is bad,

1:19:20

okay? There needs to be balance there. And

1:19:23

it's the balance provided by a biblical worldview,

1:19:25

the word of God, his revelation. You're gonna

1:19:27

find that in this new book by David

1:19:29

Bonson, Full-Time, Work and the Meaning of Life.

1:19:33

If it's to glorify our creator, success is

1:19:35

good. If it's the result

1:19:37

of glorifying our creator, prosperity is good.

1:19:40

If it's the result of glorifying our

1:19:42

creator, significance is good, because we're using

1:19:44

the gifts he gave us and working

1:19:46

their full potential to accomplish our

1:19:48

number one purpose in life, the glorifying

1:19:51

of God, all right? So check this

1:19:53

book out right now. It's available for

1:19:55

purchase at Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

1:19:57

You can visit fulltimebook.com for more information.

1:20:00

That's fulltimebook.com. Once

1:20:02

again, it's called fulltimebook.com. Well,

1:20:04

speaking of the devil, I was just talking about

1:20:06

wanting to know what the ratings were last night.

1:20:08

This is from The Hollywood Reporter, the 90-minute debate

1:20:10

produced by CNN, aired on a lot

1:20:13

of other networks as well, averaged 47.9 million viewers.

1:20:17

However, there were a lot of other

1:20:19

networks, including Blaze TV, if you watched

1:20:21

our coverage last night of the

1:20:24

debate. Steve actually just posted this. So he must

1:20:26

have information that we are not privy to. So

1:20:29

again, that was just on CNN, 47.9 million people. I

1:20:33

guess when you factor in all the other

1:20:35

networks streaming options, Steve says it

1:20:37

looks like 80 million watched

1:20:40

a president gone senile on

1:20:43

TV and digital last night. Todd,

1:20:46

is that still fewer people than you were

1:20:48

expecting? Well, I

1:20:50

narrowly took the over, which

1:20:53

was 70. And

1:20:56

this should have a lot of

1:20:59

people. If

1:21:02

they were really paying attention and

1:21:06

there's real doubt out there, no matter who

1:21:08

you are, like the right,

1:21:11

left, and center, this is untenable. We've

1:21:15

got to do something about this.

1:21:17

Well, then, Donald Trump and moving

1:21:20

forward, let's not snatch defeat from

1:21:22

the jaws of victory by giving

1:21:25

people reason to think we

1:21:27

don't have our act together. We

1:21:30

don't know how to coalesce. We're

1:21:32

not a real alternative

1:21:34

option. I mean, if people

1:21:37

are really, really

1:21:39

awake now, then,

1:21:43

I mean, honestly, if you really have

1:21:46

a surprise candidate for VP, make that

1:21:48

Ron DeSantis. Yeah. Honestly,

1:21:50

forget there's nobody else you're good. There's

1:21:52

so many of these other names that

1:21:55

are going to have people questioning your

1:21:57

sanity and this civil war going on

1:21:59

within the world. Republican Party one side

1:22:01

will say, man, this just makes

1:22:03

me want to vote even less. coalesce

1:22:07

the Republicans so that when the Normies

1:22:09

look at what's going on on both

1:22:11

sides, they aren't seeing chaos on both

1:22:13

sides. They're clearly seeing a side where

1:22:16

they're getting their act together. Donald Trump

1:22:18

is actually showing a little maturity. If

1:22:22

they do that and fill

1:22:24

this vacuum, I

1:22:26

think real things are possible. But again,

1:22:28

it isn't even July 1st yet. And

1:22:30

there are plenty of opportunities to do

1:22:32

what Donald Trump and Republicans always do

1:22:35

and is somehow not take the

1:22:37

easy win. So

1:22:40

with that in mind, let's get to your

1:22:43

reactions. What do you think will happen next

1:22:45

as it pertains to Biden and the Democrats?

1:22:47

I asked you last night on X and

1:22:49

I chose a few of your responses and

1:22:51

we'll just go through these in no particular

1:22:54

order. Todd and I will react. Ronda Swanson

1:22:56

is up first. Conspiracy

1:22:58

hypothesis. The Democrats all

1:23:00

knew Biden was in this bad shape and

1:23:02

they all wanted to replace him, but Jill

1:23:04

wouldn't let him step down. They pushed for

1:23:06

the early debate and messed up his cocktail

1:23:09

so he'd crash and burn and have to

1:23:11

step aside. I've seen some variation

1:23:13

of this a few times

1:23:15

concentrating on one certain part there.

1:23:18

Do you think that this debate was actually

1:23:21

the trap for Biden and not Trump? It

1:23:23

was a trap for both of them. We

1:23:26

didn't know to the degree it was going to be for

1:23:29

Biden. Well, I'll speak for myself. I

1:23:32

didn't think. But

1:23:35

not because everybody per

1:23:37

the language of that. Yeah,

1:23:39

Democrats absolutely all knew, but they haven't been

1:23:41

wanting them out. This

1:23:45

has been, Jordan Shaqdale said

1:23:47

it has been fantastic for

1:23:49

Democrats to have the most

1:23:51

powerful office in

1:23:54

the entire world being

1:23:57

filled out by a dementia patient.

1:23:59

Because the whole deep state that

1:24:02

we just got done talking about the Chevron Doctrine, they

1:24:04

get to do whatever they want to. So

1:24:06

now here at the end, trust me, if

1:24:09

they could figure out a way. I

1:24:13

don't know what the value bet is, Aaron, what the odds

1:24:15

they would need to. This is so

1:24:17

good. We're going to take a chance on

1:24:19

it falling apart to go with it because they love this. It's

1:24:22

not a bad thing. It's a very, very good

1:24:24

thing. So no, I don't believe that they didn't

1:24:28

try to give them the strongest cocktail

1:24:30

or anything like that. They

1:24:33

would take Biden back in a second. Joe

1:24:37

Biden's still speaking in North Carolina. Quote, I don't

1:24:39

walk as easy as I used to. I don't

1:24:41

speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't

1:24:43

debate as well as I used to. Maybe

1:24:47

some self-awareness there. Moving on to cheap.

1:24:49

Well, you know, people are, I

1:24:51

don't know, Aaron. My

1:24:53

instinct, it's not

1:24:55

a bad tack with the

1:24:57

modern American people to just try to make people

1:25:00

feel sorry for you, honestly. And

1:25:02

then they'll go, oh, but he's such a nice guy.

1:25:04

And Trump's a jerk. So

1:25:06

yeah, there's people there.

1:25:10

There's the administrative state. They'll

1:25:12

help him. They'll think like that. I hate

1:25:14

that that's true, but they will. Next,

1:25:18

we go to cheap deep fake, who says,

1:25:20

I think they're going to keep him and

1:25:22

rely on the short memory of the American

1:25:24

voter, combined with time healing all wounds. However,

1:25:26

if they do that, they have to cancel

1:25:29

the second debate. They can't try this again.

1:25:31

That was an unmitigated disaster for Biden. This

1:25:33

is a very good take. Yes, but that's

1:25:35

mostly true. And there's, you know, he

1:25:37

may be, yes, he may be gone tomorrow. He

1:25:39

may be gone. That's not,

1:25:41

I'm not saying that's a sliver in an

1:25:44

option or anything like that. But

1:25:46

yeah, this is a very good take. Conified

1:25:48

likeness utility says, here's a question people

1:25:50

need to think about. What happens if

1:25:52

they don't drop him at the convention

1:25:54

and he is the nominee? I

1:25:58

do. Because it's becoming. We've

1:26:00

gone from in like 24 hours, we've gone

1:26:02

from that's really far fetched. They'll never replace

1:26:04

him to, wait a minute. Is

1:26:07

he actually going to stay on the ticket? That that's how

1:26:09

far things have gone and just like 24 hours. Here's

1:26:12

my point about the short memory. Do

1:26:15

you remember an election

1:26:18

that Joe Biden was actually in called

1:26:20

the presidential race of 2020, where

1:26:23

during COVID they basically kept him

1:26:25

in the basement and he didn't

1:26:27

appear. This happened before. And

1:26:29

it worked. It's

1:26:35

about if the

1:26:37

American people do not show an appetite for

1:26:39

waking up, that's what we, that's what we

1:26:42

need to pay attention to. That's

1:26:44

the variable here. And

1:26:47

that's what the Democrats are worried for. And

1:26:49

that's why Hakeem Jeffries is waiting to see

1:26:51

what to do. But if the American people,

1:26:53

oh, by the way, what

1:26:55

consumes many Americans

1:26:57

attention starting in August and right

1:26:59

through the season. Oh yeah. The

1:27:02

biggest idol in the country football

1:27:06

guys. Come on. Let

1:27:09

be wise the serpents. Okay. Okay.

1:27:12

Just think

1:27:16

he got to be president

1:27:18

when he had absolutely no

1:27:21

shot of being president because

1:27:23

some power brokers decided it.

1:27:26

And now those same power growers may decide

1:27:29

that they need to do in another direction,

1:27:31

but it's a different thing now that he's

1:27:33

on the inside and he's got Jill Biden,

1:27:37

who is the woman

1:27:39

that Aaron said she is it. The

1:27:41

dynamics in that front aren't completely the

1:27:43

same, but he's hidden the basement before

1:27:45

and one and the American people bought

1:27:48

it. We'll have to see. It

1:27:52

could be though that the very

1:27:54

apathy, the very lack of appetite for

1:27:56

waking up that. you

1:28:00

have correctly deduced about the American electorate.

1:28:03

And that there is a

1:28:05

universe here in which that's actually helpful to

1:28:07

Donald Trump. Nobody and I

1:28:09

mean nobody and if there is somebody I'd like

1:28:11

to meet them falls into this

1:28:14

demographic. I watched Joe Biden's dementia

1:28:17

shoved down my throat last night. I

1:28:19

was going to vote for him. Therefore,

1:28:21

I can't do that anymore. I'm

1:28:24

voting for Donald Trump. That doesn't

1:28:26

exist in my mind. Okay. I

1:28:29

don't think that exists. Likely

1:28:31

no. I

1:28:34

think it does exist that I can't vote for that.

1:28:37

I'm just not going to vote. I

1:28:39

think that exists. That's an off

1:28:41

an offshoot of what you were just

1:28:43

talking about, Todd, which is apathy, which is a

1:28:47

lack of willingness to wake up. But

1:28:50

I think that actually helps Donald Trump. I

1:28:52

think the apathetic apathetic part actually does help

1:28:54

him. It can and we don't

1:28:57

know how that part is balanced out by the

1:28:59

I'm not saying that's a good thing either, but

1:29:01

no, but by the margin of cheating. Sure.

1:29:04

Tiny Johnny says the Democrats are stuck.

1:29:06

They have no likable candidate to turn

1:29:08

to in their party. They are seeing

1:29:10

the fruits of going to left. They

1:29:13

may have an actual moderate to turn

1:29:15

to but no leftist wants that candidate

1:29:18

anyways. Nope, nope. Yeah. Nope.

1:29:20

They don't care about going too far left. They

1:29:22

don't even see things in terms of left or right. There's just

1:29:25

power and those too afraid

1:29:27

to wield it. Basically, they're basically Voldemort.

1:29:29

So they don't they. There's

1:29:32

no check in balance. Oh, no. Goodness

1:29:35

gracious, we've gone too far left. We've not

1:29:38

trained. We've trans too many kids. We've we've

1:29:40

killed too many late term

1:29:42

babies, pre born babies. No,

1:29:46

they're not worried about going too far left. The

1:29:48

only worry they have right now if it is

1:29:51

if there is a worry at all, it

1:29:53

may be unfounded as Todd has drilled

1:29:55

home in this hour. It's

1:29:58

that they're afraid of losing power. That's the the only thing

1:30:00

that they're afraid of. Yeah,

1:30:04

I don't. I

1:30:08

don't. I get

1:30:10

out, and I get the chance to be

1:30:12

around a fairly wide swath of the American

1:30:15

people. So I think maybe that's why

1:30:18

my perceptions are different.

1:30:22

Most people are so

1:30:25

drugged with comfort

1:30:27

and false compassion and things like that.

1:30:29

They don't see the left as

1:30:31

going too far. They

1:30:37

really don't. They may

1:30:39

not be. They're

1:30:41

on the same ski hill. They're

1:30:46

on a slope that's not going down quite

1:30:48

as hard as fast. But they see the

1:30:50

future. A lot of them within the church. Look

1:30:53

at the church. Many

1:30:55

people within the church still

1:30:57

have views

1:30:59

of compassion about

1:31:02

acceptance, things like

1:31:04

that, that dovetail

1:31:08

with the goals of the left. So

1:31:10

again, I want to be wrong about

1:31:12

this, but I'm going to need

1:31:14

to be shown proof. All right,

1:31:16

here's a finer point on the television

1:31:19

ratings from last night. This is from

1:31:21

former CNN employee Brian Stelter reading a,

1:31:23

or quoting, a statement from CNN, a

1:31:26

combined, combined 47.9 million total viewers

1:31:31

watched the CNN presidential debate on television

1:31:33

last night. That's across all the networks

1:31:35

in which it appeared. So I was

1:31:37

actually right to take the under. 47.9

1:31:40

million people. That's

1:31:43

all that watched that last night. See,

1:31:47

OK. Basically just validated every

1:31:49

message that you've given over the past

1:31:51

hour. What

1:31:57

you repeated because it resonated.

1:32:00

What line did I just say about

1:32:02

the American people and their level of involvement in

1:32:04

politics? They resent having to think. Yes,

1:32:07

they don't like it. They

1:32:09

think they're above it. But they're

1:32:12

the ones that cause all this by

1:32:14

not realizing, I'm an American so I

1:32:16

have to be a citizen by definition.

1:32:19

Oh, icky. None of those things they say

1:32:21

about politicians, they're all liars and so they

1:32:25

get what they deserve. I mean,

1:32:27

honestly, just from a

1:32:29

rubbernecking, there's a crash on

1:32:31

the road. You'd think this

1:32:33

American people addicted to the

1:32:35

titillation of the internet would

1:32:38

have tuned into this thing. Nope.

1:32:41

They got a guy on the other line with a

1:32:43

set of white walls. They just... We

1:32:47

are addicted to comfort

1:32:49

that has nothing to do with

1:32:51

governing ourselves, people. I

1:32:53

don't know how many ways I need to tell

1:32:55

you this. I don't do

1:32:57

it because I don't

1:33:00

think it's true. Wow.

1:33:04

I mean, I'm the guy... And I narrow... Aaron,

1:33:07

you were right on it. I narrowly took the

1:33:09

over. Just

1:33:11

because of the rubbernecking. You couldn't even

1:33:13

watch because you wanted

1:33:15

to see the plane crash. You watch... Look at all

1:33:17

the other crap you watch on the internet. Look at

1:33:19

them, all my balls. But

1:33:23

this? Nope. It's still politics.

1:33:26

So I'm tapping out. So

1:33:29

we're going to get what we deserve. Let's

1:33:33

read a few more reactions before we

1:33:35

close out here very quickly. Bo

1:33:38

says Kamala's POTUS by July 15th

1:33:40

selects Whitmer's VP make abortion great

1:33:42

again. The Forrester says the

1:33:44

chances of Trump being sentenced

1:33:46

behind bars just skyrocketed. Matt's collection

1:33:49

says the ticket will be Big

1:33:51

Mike, Obama and Buttigieg. Wouldn't

1:33:53

that be something? And

1:33:56

Casey AMO says Biden won't go.

1:33:58

The donors are too split. to

1:34:00

oust him. It

1:34:04

seems like if this number is correct,

1:34:06

because Steve seems to think that there

1:34:08

was about 80 million people across all

1:34:11

of the platforms in which it aired, the

1:34:13

statement from CNN is making it sound, we'll

1:34:15

clarify this on Monday. The

1:34:18

statement from CNN is making it sound like it's

1:34:20

less fewer than 50 million people tuned

1:34:23

in. It's kind of cast a

1:34:25

pall over this hour in

1:34:27

my mind. And there's no way

1:34:29

all the other platforms, those clicks are

1:34:32

sitting down for an hour and a half watching

1:34:34

the whole thing. That's not how those metrics are

1:34:36

measured. So this this is a low number. We

1:34:40

will be back at it again on Monday. We'll

1:34:43

probably have some news then about presidential immunity,

1:34:45

maybe some more news from the world

1:34:47

of Joe Biden. Until then, Romans eight

1:34:49

twenty eight. This is
