- 0:01Speaker 1: All right, So there's a civil war that we mentioned
- 0:04Speaker 1: yesterday that is broken out within the Democratic Party. It's
- 0:08Speaker 1: still going on and not going away. And now Democrats
- 0:12Speaker 1: are running to their corners of the ring deciding who
- 0:15Speaker 1: they want to back. The squad, by the way, has
- 0:19Speaker 1: come to the rescue of Joe Biden, AOC making it
- 0:22Speaker 1: very clear that Joe Biden is our nominee. Quote, the
- 0:26Speaker 1: matter is closed. He is not leaving this race. The
- 0:30Speaker 1: radical extreme of the Democratic Party, the Communists, the Socialists,
- 0:34Speaker 1: the Marxist they're all backing Joe Biden. That should tell
- 0:37Speaker 1: you something. Elam Omar has also now joined AOC and
- 0:41Speaker 1: backing Joe Biden, the same guy they said was doing
- 0:44Speaker 1: too much to help Israel. Remember, but they knew he
- 0:46Speaker 1: really wasn't helping Israel, and they knew that they were
- 0:49Speaker 1: using that as a talking point. Now they are backing Biden.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Now Democrats are rushing to back Biden as Joe is
- 0:59Speaker 1: fighting off to step aside. That have gotten very, very
- 1:02Speaker 1: very prominent. That is the reason why we're having the
- 1:06Speaker 1: grand debate now in the Democratic Party. And look, there
- 1:10Speaker 1: are others now that are saying he's got to go.
- 1:13Speaker 1: As there many Democrats who are also doubling down on this.
- 1:17Speaker 1: I'll give you an example of that headline from USA Today,
- 1:21Speaker 1: quote I'm pleading, So they're not asking anymore, they're not
- 1:24Speaker 1: suggesting it anymore. The other side of the Democratic Party
- 1:28Speaker 1: is quote pleading with a president to step down. Top
- 1:33Speaker 1: House Democrat Adam Smith has called directly on President Joe
- 1:36Speaker 1: Biden to end his candidacy immediately. The top Democrat on
- 1:41Speaker 1: the House Armed Services Committee on Monday called on President
- 1:45Speaker 1: Joe Biden to end his candidacy after his quote alarming
- 1:48Speaker 1: debate performance. The statement makes Representative Adam Smith, the Democrat
- 1:53Speaker 1: from Washington, one of the most senior Democratic lawmakers, to
- 1:57Speaker 1: demand that Biden leave the race and allow the party
- 2:00Speaker 1: to nominate a new candidate. The strongly worded message adds
- 2:05Speaker 1: to a growing chorus of concern among Democrats about Biden's
- 2:10Speaker 1: fitness for office and the need for a new candidate
- 2:13Speaker 1: capable of beating former President Donald Trump. Because remember, they
- 2:18Speaker 1: don't really give a crap about if Joe Biden is
- 2:21Speaker 1: in cognitive decline. They just care now that enough people
- 2:24Speaker 1: have seen it so that he may actually not win
- 2:27Speaker 1: his reelection.
- 2:28Speaker 2: Bit.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Now, let me also take a moment to tell you
- 2:31Speaker 1: about AMMO Squared. I love when I hear from people
- 2:35Speaker 1: that are listeners of this show and they get excited
- 2:38Speaker 1: and they use one of our incredible sponsors and they
- 2:42Speaker 1: love it. And that's exactly what happens with AMO squared. Now,
- 2:45Speaker 1: over and over again, I get dozens of messages from
- 2:49Speaker 1: people almost every week who are telling me the same thing.
- 2:52Speaker 1: AMMO squared is awesome. Now what is AMO squared Well,
- 2:56Speaker 1: Ammo Squared helps you stay stocked up on ammunition autumn.
- 3:01Speaker 1: It's truly automated, set it, forget it Amo purchasing program.
- 3:05Speaker 1: You pick your calibers, you set your budget, you select
- 3:09Speaker 1: a shipping trigger, and that's it. Your Ammo grows slowly
- 3:12Speaker 1: over time. And the best part for me is this.
- 3:15Speaker 1: It is stored for free as it builds up and
- 3:18Speaker 1: is shipped with a click of a button or automatically
- 3:21Speaker 1: whatever you want to do. It's like an ammunition subscription,
- 3:24Speaker 1: but on steroids because you aren't forced into a set
- 3:28Speaker 1: budget or a shipment every single month. Instead, you decide
- 3:32Speaker 1: your budget and you schedule when you went your Ammo ship. Now,
- 3:35Speaker 1: if you've ever been without Ammo or watched the prices
- 3:38Speaker 1: go through the roof like they did during COVID. You
- 3:40Speaker 1: know that it's frustrating when you want Ammo and you
- 3:43Speaker 1: can't find it, or you're paying four or five or
- 3:45Speaker 1: six x what you normally do. Well at Amo Square,
- 3:48Speaker 1: they offer over sixty different caliber options, and each shipment
- 3:51Speaker 1: contains a carefully curated mix of factory new AMO from
- 3:55Speaker 1: brands that you know and love. And if you ever
- 3:57Speaker 1: change calibers problem and trade one for another. What if
- 4:02Speaker 1: you have a bunch of MO that's stored up over
- 4:03Speaker 1: the next several years and then the price skyrockets, right, Well,
- 4:07Speaker 1: guess what, you can sell it back for big profits.
- 4:10Speaker 1: There's no minimum to buy, no memberships needed, and no
- 4:14Speaker 1: extra fees. Customers can buy ammo on a small budget
- 4:18Speaker 1: and then watch it grow over time like a savings account.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Now I want to get you some free AMO as well. Yeah,
- 4:22Speaker 1: I said free AMO in your account today. Just go
- 4:25Speaker 1: to amosquared dot com slash ben. That's Amo squared dot
- 4:30Speaker 1: com slash benmosquared dot com slash ben to get free
- 4:34Speaker 1: AMO in your account today. Now let me go back
- 4:37Speaker 1: to the point I was making a moment ago about democrats.
- 4:41Speaker 1: They're not angry with Joe Biden. They're just angry that
- 4:44Speaker 1: they might lose because of Joe Biden. And this is
- 4:48Speaker 1: the reason why this top Democrat on the on a
- 4:50Speaker 1: House Armed Services Committee has now public could come out
- 4:53Speaker 1: and call for Joe Biden and his tendidcy, saying quote
- 4:56Speaker 1: that candidate must be able to clearly, articulately and strongly
- 5:01Speaker 1: make his or her case the American people. Smith said
- 5:04Speaker 1: in his statement that he released on Monday, saying, quote,
- 5:06Speaker 1: it is clear the President Biden is no longer able
- 5:11Speaker 1: to meet this burden. I'm pleading with him. Notice they're
- 5:15Speaker 1: not asking, they're not hinting. They're pleading with Joe Biden
- 5:18Speaker 1: to take a step back, is what Smith said in
- 5:20Speaker 1: an interview with CNN. Look at what's best for the party,
- 5:24Speaker 1: look at what's best for the country. Now, this is
- 5:28Speaker 1: where the war is going to continue. I think it's
- 5:30Speaker 1: probably gonna last for probably another week or so.
- 5:34Speaker 2: That's just my gut here.
- 5:36Speaker 1: And the reason why I say another week is because
- 5:38Speaker 1: at some point Democrats are going to have to dial
- 5:40Speaker 1: it back, okay, and they're going to have to realize
- 5:43Speaker 1: that he is their guy and they're stuck with the
- 5:46Speaker 1: guy AOC in front of the House today in Washington.
- 5:50Speaker 2: This is what she said to the press.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Has spoken to the President over the weekend. I have
- 5:56Speaker 3: spoken with him extensively. He made clear then and he
- 6:00Speaker 3: has made clear since that he is in this race.
- 6:03Speaker 3: The matter is closed. He had reiterated that this morning.
- 6:07Speaker 3: He has reiterated that to the public. Joe Biden is
- 6:10Speaker 3: our nominee. He is not leaving this race. He is
- 6:13Speaker 3: in this race and I support him. Now, what I
- 6:15Speaker 3: think is critically important right now is that we focus
- 6:18Speaker 3: on what it takes to win in November, because he
- 6:22Speaker 3: is running against Donald Trump, who is a man with
- 6:25Speaker 3: thirty four felony convictions that has been that has committed
- 6:30Speaker 3: thirty four felony crimes, and not a single Republican has
- 6:34Speaker 3: asked for Donald Trump to not be the nominee. I'm
- 6:37Speaker 3: here to win on this democracy. I'm here to win
- 6:39Speaker 3: in November. And what's critically important is what the president.
- 6:42Speaker 3: I believe that the President needs to do, and I
- 6:44Speaker 3: have communicated this what the President and the White House
- 6:47Speaker 3: should should do in order to make sure that we
- 6:49Speaker 3: win in November, and that is making sure that we
- 6:51Speaker 3: pivot and working and increasingly commit to the issues that
- 6:56Speaker 3: are critically important to working people across this country. How
- 6:59Speaker 3: are we going to expand that care, How are we
- 7:00Speaker 3: going to expand social security? How are we going to
- 7:03Speaker 3: how are we going to provide relief to people's rents
- 7:05Speaker 3: and mortgages. And if we can do that and continue
- 7:08Speaker 3: our work on student loans, secure a ceasefire, and bring
- 7:11Speaker 3: those dollars back into investing in public policy, then that's
- 7:14Speaker 3: how we win in November. That's what I'm committed to,
- 7:17Speaker 3: and that's what I want to make sure.
- 7:18Speaker 2: That we've done.
- 7:19Speaker 3: Right now, see more from the president, Well, that is
- 7:22Speaker 3: that is all up to their own individual you know determination.
- 7:26Speaker 3: I respect everyone's opinion, but I'm here to make sure
- 7:29Speaker 3: that we win in November, and that's my folkus.
- 7:31Speaker 2: And what about young daughters?
- 7:32Speaker 1: What about young And we notice that last question, and
- 7:35Speaker 1: what about young voters? The media asking her a very
- 7:38Speaker 1: important question, right, like, what about young voters? What about
- 7:43Speaker 1: young voters? Because young voters are making it clear they're
- 7:46Speaker 1: not wanting Joe Biden. They're going to say no to
- 7:49Speaker 1: Joe Biden, is what it looks like. No matter how
- 7:51Speaker 1: much AOC stands there and says he is our guy. Now, look,
- 7:56Speaker 1: the President's got to love AOC for doing this, because
- 7:58Speaker 1: AOC is doing every thing that she can.
- 8:02Speaker 2: To save.
- 8:05Speaker 1: And this is important to really, really, really really save
- 8:09Speaker 1: Joe Biden's presidency. Now, she's gonna want something in return
- 8:12Speaker 1: for that, make no mistake about it. Okay, I don't
- 8:16Speaker 1: know what she's gonna want, but she's gonna want something,
- 8:19Speaker 1: and it's.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Gonna be very interesting to see what she gets.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Let me also play for you CNN political director sounding
- 8:25Speaker 1: the alarm as he described it, and it said, this
- 8:28Speaker 1: is a critical week. Right on the bottom of CNN
- 8:31Speaker 1: says it's a critical week. Biden's fate on the line,
- 8:34Speaker 1: Trump's vs. VP decisioneers. I want you to listen to
- 8:37Speaker 1: David Gallion how to say about the White House today?
- 8:41Speaker 1: This again was on CNN right.
- 8:43Speaker 4: Now, what is the shape in the contour of this race?
- 8:46Speaker 5: So this was one of the things that grew out
- 8:47Speaker 5: of the Stephanopolis interview on Friday, which is that Joe
- 8:49Speaker 5: Biden just was not conceding an inch to the reality
- 8:53Speaker 5: of the state of his campaign as it exists now.
- 8:56Speaker 5: So if you look at our poll of polls, this
- 8:58Speaker 5: is an average of national poles pre and post debate.
- 9:02Speaker 5: Pre debate, donald Trump had a two point edge and
- 9:06Speaker 5: a pole of polls and average of national polls forty
- 9:09Speaker 5: seven percent. That's a pretty close race. You see post debate,
- 9:13Speaker 5: Donald Trump has stayed the same. He didn't grow his
- 9:15Speaker 5: support with the debate. But Joe Biden took on some water.
- 9:19Speaker 5: He is down to forty four percent and that's a
- 9:22Speaker 5: five point lead in the polar polls for Donald Trump.
- 9:25Speaker 5: So to say that the debate had no impact, I
- 9:27Speaker 5: don't think is reflected by a totality of the polls. Also,
- 9:31Speaker 5: if you look at the electoral map, guys, and the
- 9:34Speaker 5: road to two seventy, it's only going to get more complicated.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Look here, this is our.
- 9:38Speaker 5: Latest assessment of the races, the yellow or the true battlegrounds.
- 9:43Speaker 2: You some leaning.
- 9:43Speaker 5: Red states that are clearly heavily contested states as well,
- 9:47Speaker 5: like Georgia, North.
- 9:48Speaker 2: Carolina, Nevada, Michigan.
- 9:50Speaker 5: But we are we are now talking about the light
- 9:53Speaker 5: blue states perhaps Minnesota, Virginia, New Mexico, that are leaning democratic.
- 9:58Speaker 5: Now they may be coming online as more competitive in
- 10:02Speaker 5: this moment.
- 10:03Speaker 2: We need to see how true that is.
- 10:04Speaker 5: If that happens, that means more resources that Biden has
- 10:08Speaker 5: to spend in a greater number of states than he's
- 10:10Speaker 5: currently spending. If the map expands against him, that's not
- 10:13Speaker 5: a position of strength heading into this fall campaign.
- 10:17Speaker 2: As we see in the Electoral College.
- 10:18Speaker 6: Adds a dynamic to those polls that isn't fully representative
- 10:22Speaker 6: in those numbers.
- 10:23Speaker 4: I am curious though, we're do independence land.
- 10:27Speaker 1: By the way, let's do this part where do independence land?
- 10:31Speaker 2: So I am.
- 10:32Speaker 5: Fascinated by this because obviously independents are still big, big
- 10:37Speaker 5: factors in the outcome of presidential elections. You remember in
- 10:40Speaker 5: twenty sixteen, Trump bested Clinton with independence by a bit.
- 10:43Speaker 2: He won that election.
- 10:45Speaker 5: Four years ago, Biden won Independence by thirteen percentage points
- 10:49Speaker 5: against Donald Trump. Look at the independent tracker of CNN
- 10:53Speaker 5: polling alone over the last year, so back a year ago,
- 10:56Speaker 5: last August, we actually had Biden in the blue line
- 10:59Speaker 5: there on the left of the screen up against Trump
- 11:02Speaker 5: by like nine points or so among independence. Okay, And
- 11:06Speaker 5: then you saw as we continued to pull this race,
- 11:10Speaker 5: you saw November that crossed.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Trump has led with Independence and never.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Gave up the lead.
- 11:14Speaker 5: And if you look at the April line versus the
- 11:17Speaker 5: now line, this is pre debate versus post debate. Both
- 11:21Speaker 5: of them ticked down a little bit in their support
- 11:23Speaker 5: with independence, but Donald Trump's lead has maintained. He's now
- 11:26Speaker 5: got a ten percentage point lead in our polling among
- 11:30Speaker 5: independents in this race. That's a huge warning sign to
- 11:33Speaker 5: any campaign, which is why Joe Biden is finding himself
- 11:35Speaker 5: in the position he's in right now, which is that
- 11:37Speaker 5: he may be successful at pushing back on this effort
- 11:41Speaker 5: to get him to lead the race. The question becomes,
- 11:44Speaker 5: so where does that leave him and the Democratic Party?
- 11:47Speaker 5: All the data suggests at the moment he's in a
- 11:50Speaker 5: weakened position in this race, maintaining a top of the
- 11:55Speaker 5: ticket than.
- 11:57Speaker 2: He was clearly a year ago.
- 11:58Speaker 5: But even you could argue more recently.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Here's the other point I want to make about this.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Let's just say hypothetically that Joe Biden holds on, and
- 12:08Speaker 1: I think there's a pretty good chance of that. If
- 12:11Speaker 1: that happens, how do you undo and take back what
- 12:15Speaker 1: all you've just said. If you're a Democrat and you've
- 12:19Speaker 1: said this guy's clearly mentally incompetent, that he can't handle
- 12:24Speaker 1: the job, that it's a disaster that he is someone
- 12:30Speaker 1: that obviously shouldn't have the job now, much less down
- 12:33Speaker 1: the road three years from now, two years from now,
- 12:36Speaker 1: a year from now.
- 12:38Speaker 2: What do you do?
- 12:40Speaker 1: Okay, Like, that's a really important question. How do you
- 12:44Speaker 1: undo the damage that you just did? How do you
- 12:48Speaker 1: undo it and say, hey, we were just kidding, or
- 12:53Speaker 1: we had an epiphany, or he got better, it's not
- 12:58Speaker 1: that bad. We think he's actually okay now, Like, I
- 13:02Speaker 1: don't know how you come back from that. And so
- 13:06Speaker 1: all of these democrats that are calling for him to
- 13:09Speaker 1: step out, step away, right, get out of the race,
- 13:14Speaker 1: they also have another problem if he stays, because if
- 13:18Speaker 1: he does stay, then you say to yourself, okay, what's next,
- 13:25Speaker 1: what happens next? How do you then look at people
- 13:29Speaker 1: and say, just kidding, we were kind of joking. I
- 13:33Speaker 1: want to take a moment, and I want to ask
- 13:35Speaker 1: for your help. The we're in Israel started on October
- 13:38Speaker 1: the seventh. We have seen death and destruction in the
- 13:42Speaker 1: Holy Land for more than forty years. The International Fellowship
- 13:46Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews has been on the ground in Israel,
- 13:49Speaker 1: and within hours of the war starting, and every day since,
- 13:52Speaker 1: they've been feeding the hungry and protecting the vulnerable. You
- 13:55Speaker 1: may not realize, but Israel is literally under attack now
- 13:59Speaker 1: on a daily basis, with rockets coming in. Those that
- 14:03Speaker 1: are surrounding Israel are doing everything they can to take
- 14:07Speaker 1: them out. The attacks continue in the North and the South,
- 14:11Speaker 1: but there are resilient survivors who bravely share their stories.
- 14:15Speaker 1: In a series the Fellowship calls Faces of Iron survivors
- 14:20Speaker 1: like Danny. His beloved daughter and her husband were burned
- 14:24Speaker 1: alive on October the seventh by Hamas Terras. Danny is
- 14:28Speaker 1: a commander of the volunteer fire and rescue group in
- 14:31Speaker 1: his community. Despite fire equipment nearby, Danny could do nothing
- 14:35Speaker 1: as his daughter's house burned and his daughter and her
- 14:39Speaker 1: husband lost their lives. Christians like you support Israel through
- 14:43Speaker 1: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's his support
- 14:47Speaker 1: that helps these survivors remain steadfast and strong. To hear
- 14:51Speaker 1: more stories like this one and show your support for Israel.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Please stand with me and visit support IFCJ dot org.
- 15:00Speaker 1: That support IFCJ dot org, support IFCJ dot org. Now
- 15:08Speaker 1: I want to tie this into another big headline, and
- 15:12Speaker 1: that is coming from of all places, ABC News a
- 15:19Speaker 1: Parkinson's expert visited the White House eight times in eight
- 15:25Speaker 1: months and met with Joe Biden's doctor. The White House
- 15:30Speaker 1: said Biden had been evaluated by a neurologist only three times.
- 15:35Speaker 1: So the question is, why did the President of the
- 15:39Speaker 1: United States of America's doctor have a guy visiting eight
- 15:44Speaker 1: different times in eight months. Now? You could also and
- 15:48Speaker 1: again I don't have the exact dates in front of me,
- 15:51Speaker 1: but here's what I could say. You could argue that
- 15:54Speaker 1: this guy, this parkinson expert, was coming to the White
- 15:57Speaker 1: House every month, right, eight times every eight months, So
- 16:00Speaker 1: it's like a monthly checkup.
- 16:01Speaker 2: It could be.
- 16:02Speaker 1: You could certainly make that connection there. Listen to what
- 16:06Speaker 1: ABC News said about this shocking news.
- 16:12Speaker 7: New concerns today actually about President Biden's health. We just
- 16:16Speaker 7: learned that a Parkinson's expert has been visiting the White
- 16:20Speaker 7: House in the past eight months, eight times in the
- 16:24Speaker 7: past eight months. That's according to White House visitor logs.
- 16:28Speaker 7: We don't know why those visits actually happened, but it
- 16:32Speaker 7: is coming as the President is facing growing calls to
- 16:36Speaker 7: throw in the towel on his reelection bid, with concerns
- 16:39Speaker 7: over his health and cognitive ability. Biden says that he's
- 16:42Speaker 7: not going anywhere, though, and that his campaign for a
- 16:45Speaker 7: second term will continue in full force.
- 16:48Speaker 4: A matter of fact, he put out this letter to.
- 16:51Speaker 7: Democrats just this morning, saying I am firmly committed to
- 16:55Speaker 7: staying in this race, to running this race to the end,
- 16:58Speaker 7: and to beating Donald try. Biden is under tremendous pressure
- 17:02Speaker 7: right now since his disastrous debate performance just two weeks ago,
- 17:05Speaker 7: a performance the President just chopped up to being a
- 17:08Speaker 7: bad night. Biden telling Morning Joe though, that he has
- 17:12Speaker 7: defied the conventional wisdom before and he'll do it again.
- 17:16Speaker 4: Take a listen their big name.
- 17:18Speaker 8: But I'm there with those big names too. There wrong
- 17:22Speaker 8: twenty twenty, they're wrong in twenty twenty two, about the
- 17:25Speaker 8: red wave, They're wrong in twenty twenty four. And come
- 17:30Speaker 8: out with me. Watch people react, You make a judgment.
- 17:35Speaker 7: So the latest five thirty eight national pulling average still
- 17:38Speaker 7: showing Biden trailing former President Donald Trump.
- 17:41Speaker 4: By a smidge.
- 17:42Speaker 7: Jennyman now senior White House correspondent Selena Wang, also senior
- 17:45Speaker 7: reporter Catherine Falders. So Selena, let's start with you. What
- 17:48Speaker 7: do we know about this? Parkinson's expert visiting the White
- 17:51Speaker 7: House eight times in eight months.
- 17:54Speaker 9: Yeah, here are still a lot of questions about this.
- 17:57Speaker 9: We know that there were eight visits between the span
- 17:59Speaker 9: of last July and this March. This is according to
- 18:02Speaker 9: public logs that are available online about White House visitors.
- 18:06Speaker 9: But as you say here, we do not know exactly
- 18:08Speaker 9: why he was visiting the White House.
- 18:10Speaker 4: The White House will only.
- 18:12Speaker 9: Say quote, A wide variety of specialists from the Walter
- 18:15Speaker 9: read system visit the White House complex to treat thousands
- 18:18Speaker 9: of military personnel who work on the grounds. So essentially,
- 18:21Speaker 9: this doctor could have been here for a variety of reasons.
- 18:23Speaker 9: We do not know if he was here to advise
- 18:25Speaker 9: on the president's personal care. But we do know, according
- 18:29Speaker 9: to a summary report released in February by the White House,
- 18:32Speaker 9: that the President was seen by a neurologist and had
- 18:35Speaker 9: shown no signs of Parkinson's. But of course there is
- 18:38Speaker 9: so much scrutiny on this given all the questions about
- 18:41Speaker 9: the president's mental fitness. President Biden, for his part, has
- 18:44Speaker 9: said that he doesn't need to take a cognitive test,
- 18:46Speaker 9: that his doctors have told him as well, that he
- 18:48Speaker 9: does not need to take on the president defiance, saying
- 18:51Speaker 9: that he takes a.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Cognitive test every day doing this job.
- 18:55Speaker 9: But of course all of that and not putting to
- 18:56Speaker 9: bed all of the doubts about the president's mental fitness
- 18:59Speaker 9: and acuity after that disastrous presidential.
- 19:02Speaker 7: Debate, you do wonder why he doesn't just take the
- 19:05Speaker 7: test though, Selena Catherine. Word is that House Democrats are
- 19:08Speaker 7: now going to be meeting off the hill at DNC
- 19:11Speaker 7: headquarters tomorrow. Cell phones have been banned. What do you
- 19:15Speaker 7: think this is all about?
- 19:16Speaker 6: Worried about Leek's kira and that meeting usually occurs here
- 19:19Speaker 6: and now it's off campus, so surely this is a
- 19:22Speaker 6: topic that will come up tomorrow. We knew that House
- 19:26Speaker 6: Democrats have been talking about this privately behind the scenes,
- 19:28Speaker 6: like that phone call we reported on over the weekend. Well,
- 19:31Speaker 6: they'll continue those conversations tomorrow behind the scenes. We'll have
- 19:34Speaker 6: to talk to those members after and see if we
- 19:36Speaker 6: can get any information out of it. But the big
- 19:38Speaker 6: question is do the calls from Democrats on Biden to
- 19:41Speaker 6: step aside grow as Congress now comes back to Capitol Hill.
- 19:45Speaker 6: We'll be watching that on the House side, of course,
- 19:47Speaker 6: from the Senate as well. We know that there is
- 19:49Speaker 6: a meeting among Democrats Democratic Caucus tomorrow behind.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Closed doors as well.
- 19:54Speaker 6: That will also likely be a topic that will be discussed,
- 19:57Speaker 6: Biden stepping aside in that meeting.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Also, Kira, you listen to this. This is ABC News.
- 20:04Speaker 1: I played that for you because I wanted you to
- 20:07Speaker 1: hear what they were saying. And what they're saying is shocking.
- 20:12Speaker 2: Now.
- 20:12Speaker 1: An expert on Parkinson's disease visiting the White House eight
- 20:15Speaker 1: times over eight months span between julyas July and March
- 20:18Speaker 1: of this year, including one visit with the President's personal physician,
- 20:21Speaker 1: according to the White House visitor logs, and they will
- 20:24Speaker 1: not tell us if this was about the President's health.
- 20:28Speaker 1: The doctor Kevin Canard is a neurologist and movement disorders specialists. Well,
- 20:35Speaker 1: look at how the president's been walking. Remember when he
- 20:39Speaker 1: was falling a lot and on Air Force One they
- 20:43Speaker 1: had to start using the short stairs and said the
- 20:46Speaker 1: real stairs. And then remember when the President started wearing
- 20:49Speaker 1: these weird shoes. Well, the doctor Kevin Canard is a
- 20:53Speaker 1: neurologist and a movement disorder specialist who works, by the way,
- 20:58Speaker 1: and this is another reason why I think this matter.
- 21:01Speaker 1: At Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which is exactly
- 21:05Speaker 1: where Joe Biden goes for treatment. Now, prior to July
- 21:09Speaker 1: of twenty twenty three, this doctor had visited the White
- 21:13Speaker 1: House only once in November of twenty twenty two. So
- 21:19Speaker 1: to then jump to eight times in eight months or
- 21:23Speaker 1: once a month. Right, you work at Walter Reed Medical Center,
- 21:27Speaker 1: you're a movement disorder specialists, and you're a neurologist. The
- 21:31Speaker 1: president's falling down, having problems, losing his train of thought,
- 21:35Speaker 1: can't remember what he's saying. Seems to make sense you
- 21:39Speaker 1: be coming over once a month. Now, here's the other
- 21:43Speaker 1: part of this cover up that I think is important.
- 21:46Speaker 1: The White House would not confirm if he was advising
- 21:51Speaker 1: on the president's personal care, saying only in a statement quote,
- 21:56Speaker 1: A wide variety of specialists from Walter Reed System visit
- 21:59Speaker 1: the White House complex to treat thousands of military personnel
- 22:04Speaker 1: who work on the grounds. By the way, if you
- 22:06Speaker 1: talk to people in the military, they're going to tell
- 22:08Speaker 1: you that's not exactly how it works. Usually you go
- 22:11Speaker 1: to Walter Read, not the other way around, especially for
- 22:14Speaker 1: the quote thousands of people that are there, And if
- 22:17Speaker 1: you're going for cognitive issues, then more than likely you're
- 22:20Speaker 1: going to need testing that typically would be done at
- 22:23Speaker 1: Walter Read and it wouldn't be done at the White House.
- 22:26Speaker 1: So again, you can decide if you believe the line
- 22:29Speaker 1: from the White House.
- 22:30Speaker 2: I don't at all.
- 22:31Speaker 1: I also know they've lied to us about virtually everything else,
- 22:34Speaker 1: so why would they not keep lying to us about this?
- 22:37Speaker 1: ABC News Chief White House Correspondence correspondent Mary Bruce also
- 22:43Speaker 1: press White House Presbenttery Jean Pierre on reporting about Cannard's
- 22:48Speaker 1: visit with the president's personal physician, doctor Kevin O'Connor. I
- 22:53Speaker 1: want you to listen to what was said. Take a
- 22:55Speaker 1: listen to this.
- 22:58Speaker 4: Direct question.
- 23:00Speaker 10: Wait, hold on, hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait a
- 23:03Speaker 10: second eight times or at least once in regards to
- 23:08Speaker 10: hold on a second point wait no, no, no, no, no,
- 23:11Speaker 10: no wait a minute, come ed, please a little respect here, please.
- 23:19Speaker 10: So every year around the president's physical examination, he sees
- 23:26Speaker 10: a neurologist. That's three times, right, So I am telling
- 23:29Speaker 10: you that he has seen a neurologists three times while
- 23:33Speaker 10: he has been in this presidency. That's what I'm saying.
- 23:36Speaker 10: I am telling you that he has seen them three times.
- 23:39Speaker 10: That is what I'm sharing with you right, So every
- 23:42Speaker 10: time he has a physical he has had to see
- 23:45Speaker 10: a neurologists. So that is answering that question. No, it is.
- 23:49Speaker 10: It is you're asking me. But I also said to you, Ed,
- 23:55Speaker 10: I also said to you, for security reasons, we.
- 23:57Speaker 4: Cannot share names. We cannot share names. We have to
- 24:02Speaker 4: we have to would have met with.
- 24:04Speaker 10: We can't share names in regards to if someone came here,
- 24:07Speaker 10: we cannot share We cannot share names of specialists broadly,
- 24:12Speaker 10: from a dermatologist to a neurologist. We cannot share names.
- 24:16Speaker 10: There are security reasons we have to. We have to predict.
- 24:21Speaker 10: I understand that.
- 24:22Speaker 4: I hear you.
- 24:25Speaker 10: I cannot from here confirm any of that because we
- 24:28Speaker 10: have to keep their privacy.
- 24:30Speaker 4: I think they would appreciate that too. We have to
- 24:33Speaker 4: give them. We have to keep their privacy.
- 24:36Speaker 10: It's public I hear you.
- 24:41Speaker 8: Guys.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Guys, by the way, you noticed the White House, President
- 24:44Speaker 1: Jerry's lost total control because the media is now wanting
- 24:48Speaker 1: to get rid of Joe Biden because they're afraid of
- 24:51Speaker 1: losing the White House. They're afraid of losing power. You
- 24:54Speaker 1: understand that that's the only reason why. And she doesn't
- 24:56Speaker 1: know what to do because she's never in the last
- 24:59Speaker 1: three and a half half years, she's never had.
- 25:02Speaker 2: To deal with this this way.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Okay, Like she's never had a White House press corps
- 25:09Speaker 1: come after her the way that they are coming after
- 25:12Speaker 1: her right now in the in the in this conversation,
- 25:16Speaker 1: and and she's lying. She's never really had to do
- 25:18Speaker 1: her job. She's been able to lie to the press,
- 25:21Speaker 1: and the press has been fine with the lies. They
- 25:23Speaker 1: backed the lies. They've supported the lies. They've been in
- 25:25Speaker 1: on the lies. They were in on the lies of
- 25:27Speaker 1: with Trump, they were in on the lies on Dirussian collusion,
- 25:30Speaker 1: they were in on the lies with with you know,
- 25:32Speaker 1: with classified documents in Morlago, and then all of a sudden,
- 25:35Speaker 1: Joe Biden had a bunch of classified documents. Are like,
- 25:37Speaker 1: oh wait, like the media and the White House prescreteria
- 25:41Speaker 1: basically been one and in the same, they're no longer
- 25:44Speaker 1: one of the same. And so that's why she's like,
- 25:46Speaker 1: have a little respect, guys, know what she's saying. Guys, guys,
- 25:49Speaker 1: the whole crowd, because they're all like, you're full of crap.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Don't lie to us. We know how much you lie
- 25:54Speaker 1: to us, because we've helped you with those lies and
- 25:57Speaker 1: on this one, we're not willing to play ball. That's
- 26:00Speaker 1: what they're telling her. And listen to they're like, it's
- 26:03Speaker 1: public knowledge. You're full of crap woman, and they're having
- 26:07Speaker 1: they're calling her out. By the way, this is what
- 26:08Speaker 1: they should have done the entire time that she was
- 26:10Speaker 1: the White House prescrety, and they did not. They did
- 26:14Speaker 1: not because they were playing ball. Keep listening, right.
- 26:18Speaker 4: Guys, Hold on a second.
- 26:19Speaker 10: There's no reason to get back and go back and
- 26:21Speaker 10: forth with me in this aggressive way. I missed around
- 26:23Speaker 10: here about how information has been shared with.
- 26:25Speaker 4: The press for what do you? What do you missed about?
- 26:28Speaker 10: What are you?
- 26:29Speaker 4: And he just asked about what do you?
- 26:31Speaker 10: And then every time I come back and I answer
- 26:33Speaker 10: the question that you guys asked, have to come back
- 26:35Speaker 10: and clear I never answered the question incorrectly. That is
- 26:38Speaker 10: not true. I was asked about a medical exam. I
- 26:40Speaker 10: was asked about a physical that was in the line
- 26:42Speaker 10: of question that I answered, and I said, no, he
- 26:45Speaker 10: did not have a medical exam. And I still stand
- 26:46Speaker 10: that by that. By in fact, the president still stands
- 26:48Speaker 10: by that he had a verbal check in. That is
- 26:50Speaker 10: something that the president has a couple times a week,
- 26:53Speaker 10: a couple times a week.
- 26:54Speaker 4: Now in regard to doctor Kevin kundnark.
- 26:56Speaker 10: And, I am telling you right now that I am
- 27:00Speaker 10: not sharing confirming names from here.
- 27:03Speaker 4: It is the security reasons. I am not going to
- 27:05Speaker 4: do that.
- 27:06Speaker 6: Ed.
- 27:06Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how hard you push me, it doesn't matter.
- 27:09Speaker 10: How angry you get with me. I'm not going to
- 27:11Speaker 10: confirm a name. It doesn't matter if it's even in
- 27:14Speaker 10: the log I am not going to do that from here.
- 27:17Speaker 10: That is not something I am going to do. What
- 27:20Speaker 10: I can share with you is that the President has
- 27:22Speaker 10: seen a neurologist for his physical three times, three times,
- 27:27Speaker 10: and it is in the reporting that we share, a
- 27:30Speaker 10: comprehensive reporting. Matter of fact, it's more than what the
- 27:33Speaker 10: last guy shared, and it is in line with what
- 27:36Speaker 10: George do, George W. Bush did, It's in line with
- 27:39Speaker 10: what Obama did, and so it is comprehensive.
- 27:42Speaker 4: It is out there. I just read a quote from it.
- 27:46Speaker 10: But I am not I am not going to devolve
- 27:49Speaker 10: somebody's name in or confirm someone. I'm not going to
- 27:52Speaker 10: do that. That is as a privacy for that person.
- 27:56Speaker 10: I'm not going to do that. It doesn't matter how hard,
- 27:58Speaker 10: you push me, It doesn't matter how you get with
- 28:00Speaker 10: me from here. I'm just not going to do that.
- 28:02Speaker 4: It is inappropriate. It is not acceptable.
- 28:07Speaker 1: Oh oh oh oh, hold on, it's inappropriate and it's unacceptable.
- 28:14Speaker 1: You understand that the media is calling her out as
- 28:19Speaker 1: a liar. That's what they're saying here. They're saying, you're
- 28:23Speaker 1: a liar. We know you're a liar. We've watched you
- 28:27Speaker 1: lie to us. We've seen you lie to us. You
- 28:30Speaker 1: lie to us all the time. We've been in on
- 28:32Speaker 1: the lies. This one you're not going to get away with.
- 28:35Speaker 1: And then notice she's like, guys, guys, have a little decency,
- 28:38Speaker 1: Like she's never had to do her job and now
- 28:44Speaker 1: she's actually having to do her job and she doesn't
- 28:47Speaker 1: know what to do because she's not good at it.
- 28:52Speaker 1: It's easy to lie to the press if the press
- 28:55Speaker 1: is helping you sell the lie that you're giving them.
- 28:58Speaker 1: And this time they're not any longer. They're not selling
- 29:02Speaker 1: it for you this time because they want to get
- 29:05Speaker 1: rid of you. They want you gone, and they're ready
- 29:10Speaker 1: to dispose of Joe Biden. Now, let me go back
- 29:13Speaker 1: to what I said at the very beginning. This is
- 29:16Speaker 1: a civil war. It is a civil war that is
- 29:19Speaker 1: broken out. Biden is daring the Democratic leads to challenge
- 29:23Speaker 1: him at the DNC on Morning Joe, he made that
- 29:27Speaker 1: very clear listen.
- 29:29Speaker 8: Over the country. I didn't believe it at all. And
- 29:31Speaker 8: then in twenty twenty three, the key elections, I went
- 29:34Speaker 8: into those races, not every one of them, but a
- 29:36Speaker 8: lot of them. I said, we were going to look,
- 29:38Speaker 8: we want to move So, Joe, it wasn't just as
- 29:41Speaker 8: it didn't happen. I was predicting beforehand it would not
- 29:45Speaker 8: happen because I've got a pretty good political instinct and
- 29:47Speaker 8: I and here's the deal. It's not going to happen
- 29:51Speaker 8: here this time around. The American public is not going
- 29:54Speaker 8: to move away from me as an average voter. And again,
- 29:58Speaker 8: I'm here for two reasons. Pou to rebuild the economy
- 30:02Speaker 8: for hard work and middle class people. Give everybody a shot.
- 30:05Speaker 8: That's a straight shot. Everybody gets a fair chance. Number one,
- 30:09Speaker 8: Number two. Number always talking about how I don't have
- 30:12Speaker 8: the black support. Come on, give me a breaker, come
- 30:15Speaker 8: with me. What why I'm getting so frustrated by the
- 30:19Speaker 8: elas Now I'm not talking about you guys, but about
- 30:22Speaker 8: the elite in the party who they know so much more.
- 30:26Speaker 8: With any of these guys, I don't think I should
- 30:28Speaker 8: love some money.
- 30:29Speaker 2: Get right. By the way, he is one of the elites.
- 30:31Speaker 1: He also is the same guy that's been telling the
- 30:33Speaker 1: economy's doing great and then just said he's going to
- 30:35Speaker 1: rebuild the economy. What happened to Bidenomics? You said you
- 30:38Speaker 1: rebuilt the economy? You just said and lie to the
- 30:41Speaker 1: American people in the media sold it for months that
- 30:44Speaker 1: Bidenomics was amazing, that Bidenomics was working, that Bidenomics was great,
- 30:49Speaker 1: and now you're sitting there You're like, I'm angry. I
- 30:51Speaker 1: believe he's angry, by the way, I really do. Merca,
- 30:55Speaker 1: by the way, is like barely holding it together, about
- 30:58Speaker 1: to lose her mind.
- 30:59Speaker 2: And you can hear the press, isn't there.
- 31:00Speaker 1: You know, these party elites like you are the elite,
- 31:03Speaker 1: and now all of a sudden, you're acting like you're
- 31:05Speaker 1: not the elite. You're acting like you're somehow different and
- 31:10Speaker 1: you're an outsider. You are literally the epitome of a
- 31:13Speaker 1: Democrat elitist.
- 31:14Speaker 8: That's me announced the president challenge man at the convention.
- 31:20Speaker 8: You know, on Europe, the polls are wrong in France.
- 31:23Speaker 4: They're also right.
- 31:24Speaker 8: You know, there's no right way or tide here in
- 31:28Speaker 8: America either. By the way, in case you're wondering whether
- 31:31Speaker 8: it is one, have you ever seen Trump run away
- 31:34Speaker 8: so fast from what he's for? You know he's going
- 31:38Speaker 8: to do it anyway. I mean, he's such a liar,
- 31:42Speaker 8: this guy. Everybody knows what they're planning to do, and
- 31:46Speaker 8: now he's said no, no, no, no. This guy is going
- 31:49Speaker 8: to rip away as a woman's right to choose in
- 31:51Speaker 8: a permanent way. This guy is going to make sure
- 31:54Speaker 8: that he exact revenge. This guy's going to destroy democracy.
- 31:58Speaker 8: This guy's gonna give a blank check to the Supreme
- 32:01Speaker 8: Court and you're going to use its past the twenty
- 32:04Speaker 8: twenty five agenda.
- 32:06Speaker 6: You know.
- 32:06Speaker 4: Extreme.
- 32:07Speaker 8: This guy's extremely dangerous. But you notice he does to
- 32:10Speaker 8: speak up for now what we really is for. He's
- 32:13Speaker 8: all of a sudden realizing, oh my god, nobody's for
- 32:17Speaker 8: what I'm for.
- 32:18Speaker 1: By the way, this again totally full of crap, right,
- 32:21Speaker 1: And if they wanted to call him out, they would have,
- 32:23Speaker 1: But I'm sure they had to agree to certain things
- 32:25Speaker 1: to even get this interview on MSNBC, So they just
- 32:28Speaker 1: have to sit there and let him spew this crap
- 32:31Speaker 1: and they can't call him out for it. And they
- 32:33Speaker 1: got to shut up because they got Joe Biden on
- 32:36Speaker 1: their show Morning Joe, and they got to let him lie.
- 32:40Speaker 1: And then they're like, Okay, thanks Joe for coming on,
- 32:43Speaker 1: even though they're not believing any.
- 32:44Speaker 2: Of this either.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family and
- 32:48Speaker 1: your friends, share it on social media. Run us to
- 32:51Speaker 1: five serve you so we can reach more people, and
