  Speaker 1: happy as can be, thrilled, just thrilled to address the

  Speaker 1: country as the President of the United States of America
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and clearly excited that the Democratic Party lost after they
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: excommunicated him.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: From the White House. From the race.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I think he truly believes there's no doubt in his
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: mind that he would have beaten. In his mind, he
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: believes Donald Trump. But when the mafia turned on him,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and that's exactly who the mafia. When I say the mafia,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, I mean it. The Democratic mafia in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the Five Families had turned against him. They turned against
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: him and said we're going to twenty fifth Amendment you
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: or you're gone. Well, now we know the end of
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: that story. They forced him out, They ran Harris, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Harris ended up being a massive failure.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden, Joe Biden, by the.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Way, who hates Kama Harris, had to be happy watching
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the election results come in as vindication for them, going, Yeah,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: they thought they could throw me out of here, and
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: they could win thiseg didn't work. Joe Biden addressing the
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: country in the Rose Garden. Here's part of what he
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: had to say.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good to see you all, particularly good to
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: see my granddaughter sitting in the front row. Here ht Van,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Helloai honey. For over two hundred years, America's carried out
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: of the greatest experiment in self government and history of
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the world. That's not hyperbole. That's a fact. For the people.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: do it peacefully, and we're in a democracy. The will
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: of the people always prevails. Yesterday I spoke with President
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and I
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: assured him I direct my entire administration to work with
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition. That's
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: what the American people deserve. Yesterday I also spoke with
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Vice President Harris. She's been a partner and a public servant.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: She ran an inspiring campaign and everyone got to see
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: something that I learned early on to respect so much
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: her character. She has a backbone like a rammod. She
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: has great character, true character. She gave her whole heart
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: and effort, and she and her entire team should be
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: proud of the campaign they ran. You know, the struggle
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: for the soul of America since our very founding has
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: always been an ongoing debate, still vital today. I know
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: for some people it's a time for victory to state
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the obvious. For others, it's a time of loss. Campaigns
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the contest of competing visions. The country chooses one or
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: the other. We accept the choice the country made. I've
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: said many times, you can't love your country only when
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: you win. You can't love your neighbor only when you
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: agree something. I hope we can do no matter who
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: you voted for, they see each other not as adversaries,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: but as fellow Americans. Bring down the temperature. I also
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: hope we can later rest the question about the integrity
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: of the American electoral system. It is honest, it is fair,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and it is transparent, and it can be trusted, win
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: or lose. I also hope we can restore the respect
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: for all our election workers who busted their next and
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: took risks at the outset. We should thank them, thank
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: them for staffing voting sites, counting the votes, protecting the
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: very integrity of the election. Many of them are volunteers
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: who do it simply out of love for their country
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: and as they did as they did their duty as citizens.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: I will do my duty as president. I'll fulfill my
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: oath and I wanted the constitution. On January twentieth, we'll
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: have a peaceful transfer of power here in America. To
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: all our incredible staff, supporters, captain members, all the people
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: who been hanging out with me for the last four years.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: God love you.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: As my mother would say, thank you so much. You
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: put so much into the past four years. I know
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: it's a difficult time.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: I know it's a difficult time.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: That is as smiley and as joyous as I have
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: ever seen. Joe Biden coming out to a big grin
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden saying that the result of the twenty twenty
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: election twenty twenty four election are what he describes as well.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: We're in a democracy.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: For over two hundred years, America has carried out the
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: greatest experiment in self government and history of the world.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: That's not hyperbole, that's a fact.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: For the people.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: do it peacefully. And we're in a democracy. The will
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of the people always prevails. Yesterday I spoke with President
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Elect Trump to congratulate him on his victory, and I
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: assured him I direct my entire administration to work with
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: A peaceful and orderly transition.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Now there's part of me it's like, all right, this
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: is impressive, right, Like this is really impressive. He is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: genuinely sitting there, genuinely saying, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna be honest with you.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: The smile on his face was, Hey, I'm going to
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: hand over the White House to the guy that you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: guys thought I couldn't beat. Yeah, I'm gonna hand over
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the White House to the guy that you guys thought
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I couldn't beat, and you threw me out of office,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And I'm gonna sit here and say, not my fault.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Much of the work we've done is already being felt
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: by the American people. If the vast majority of it
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: will not be felt, we felt over the next ten years,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: we have legislation we passed. It's just only now just
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: really kicking in. We're going to see over trillion dollars
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: worth of infrastructure work done, changing people's lives and rural
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: communities and communities that are in real difficulty because it
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: takes time to get it done, and so much more.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: It's going to take time, but it's there. The road
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: ahead is clear, assuming we sustain it. There's so much,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: so much we can get done, and we'll get done
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: based the way the legislation will passed. And it's truly historic.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: You know, we're leaving behind the strongest economy in the world.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I know people are still hurting, but things are changing rapidly. Together,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: we've changed America for the better. Now we have seventy
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: four days to finish the term. Our term.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Let's make every day count seventy four days to finish
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the term. As he described it, saying that much of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: what they did won't be realized for decades. That's what
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: you call fictitious legislation, guarantees and promises. By the way,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: no one votes for president nine. It's America for something
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: you're going to do twenty years from now. Joe, and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I understand you're trying to build your legacy, and I
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: get that, I really do. I understand that you're trying
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: to act like you did all these amazing things, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: this is the easiest or the best way to act
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: like you did it right, Like this is the this
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: is the easiest, this is the easiest or the best way.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: It's pretty funny, it's laughable.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: It's hilarious that he's like, I'm gonna I pass legislation
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: that twenty years from now, you're gonna feel it. Right,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: twenty years from now, you're gonna really feel this. It's
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: gonna be amazing we pass legislation. You don't even realize
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it's gonna have an impact on you. Now you're like, wait, what,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Welcome the Democratic Party. That's all I gotta say is
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: welcome the Democratic Party. It's like a Kamala Harris word
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: salad special.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: You know, can't you hear going You won't.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: You won't know what we've done until we've done what
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: we've done, and then you will know what we've done
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: twenty years from now.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: That's what Joe Biden just said.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden saying this, the will of the people always prevails.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know that's always true, but take a listen.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Over two hundred years, America has carried on the greatest
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: experiment in self government and history of the world. That's
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: not hyperbole.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: That's a fact. For the people.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: The people vote and choose their own leaders, and they
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: do it peacefully, and we're in a democracy. The will
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: of the people always prevails.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Yesterday, you guys, by the way, did try to lock
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: up Donald Trump. You did, like greatest house, You did
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: go after him and his family. So let's die down
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the crazy for a little bit here. And I appreciate
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the kumbay ayism now, but I'm also not I'm not
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: dumb enough to not remember. Okay, Like I remember like
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the idea that that you know, you're sitting here and
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, hey, everything's great and we respect everything.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Now, like I'm calling bs.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You guys have tried to overthrow the other people with
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the Russian collusion hoax.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Never forget that you guys.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Knew, you knew, you knew that the Russian collusion the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: studealsa was created by you, the Democratic Party, because y'all
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: paid for it. So Hillary Clinton's campaign and used it
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to try to overthrow the will of the people and
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: impeached Donald Trump back in twenty sixteen, and to undermine
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: his presidency. You guys locked up people around him, put
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: him in jail, try to get people framed like General Flynn,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you abuse your power. Luckily, the American people saw it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: The American people understood what you were doing. The American
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: people were able to overcome all the corruption and everything
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: that you have done. And I think that is the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: part here that's so important for people to understand.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: That is the story here.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Is that the American people, even as you guys tried
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: to screw the America out of electing its own president,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: you guys, the American people fought back and we want
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: that is amazing, It's truly incredible.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Thank goodness, Thank goodness.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: This is now where we are, where we have a victory,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: and we have you know, Joe Biden, who is happy right,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: which makes me laugh because they try to throw them
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: out unceremoniously. And now there is this is this is
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the revenge five three five nine seven three two five
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: three five nine seven three two eight hundred number one,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and four seven four nine seven three two.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Want to get your phone calls in here your reaction
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to all of this.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Some other news this morning, and that is that it
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: looks like peace in the least may be coming very
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: soon between Israel and Hamas Hamas seems to be winding
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: down the war quickly because they're afraid of what's going
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to happen when Donald Trump takes office.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: They are very worried about this. And if you think
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: that's the only thing that's changing, it's not.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Mayor Adams in New York City, knowing changes are coming
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: from the federal government, has announced he's inning food voucher
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: program for illegal immigrants in New York City.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: He is.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: The mayor just announced that the city will no longer
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: issue vouchers to migrants to pay for food, ending a
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: controversial program that had repeatedly come under attack by conservatives
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: and others.
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: This pilot program in New York City, drenched in both
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: humanity and controversy, distributed debit cards to migrant family staying
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: in city funded hotels and allowing them to buy their
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: own Food's reporter Josh honyre following the breaking news for.
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: US, Josh Mobill, It's a program that, as you say,
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: generated plenty of controversy, but now it's absence may raise
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: even more questions. The so called Immediate Response Cards pilot
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: program was designed to help feed migrant families who'd found
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: themselves in New York with no way to afford food.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: The one year contract.
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: Provided what the city described as culturally relevant food to
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: twenty six hundred migrant families, allowing them to basically buy
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: what they wanted. A family of four with under two
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: kids with two kids under five got about three hundred
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: and fifty dollars per week to cover food, in a
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: program the city said would actually save taxpayers millions a year,
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: but also reduced food waste. You may remember, the food
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: the city had been providing in migrant shelters was seen
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: as not culturally sensitive to the needs of some migrant groups,
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: and it ended up just going to waste. More than
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: a year, the city was groaning under the weight of
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: more than two hundred thousand asylum seekers. Official said the
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: migrant population has actually reduced lately. In fact, a massive
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: shelter on Roosevelt Island is in the process of closing.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: In the meantime, Mayor Adams spoke on the phone yesterday
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: with President elect Donald Trump, who had vowed during his
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: campaign to mass deport migrants. Aside from congratulating him on
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: his window, Adams today would not say what they discussed.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Following Trump's victory, New York City mayor announcing he's ending
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: the food voucher for illegals, and its absence may raise
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: even more questions of what else is going to change
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: in New York. They're going to keep giving them billions
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: of dollars in free hotel rooms. That numbers, not exaggeration.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That's what they're spending. Why is this happening, I'll tell
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: exactly why. Because they know a different administration's coming in
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and the rule of laws coming back to the White House.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: That's what this is. Charlemagne the God African American host
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: this morning saying this Trump speaks to people's grievances better
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: than Democrats. I know people are going to talk about
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: misinformation and the dumbing down of society. I understand all
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: of that, but you don't have be intelligent to know
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: you can't pay your bills.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Didn't he say f Trump to Harris?
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I mean in an interview, like, I'm pretty sure he did,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: same guy.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: It's amazing how fast.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And they'll change their tune when she and this is
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a cautionary tale to any Democrat out there, Okay, Like
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: this is a very cautionary tale. If you think they
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: care about you, they don't if you think that they
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: worry about you, they don't. They don't even care about
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Kama Harris. Like when they're done with her, they're done
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: with her, Like they don't care. They just don't care.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Folks. It's all about power. It always has been. It's
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: always been about power.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: How is it possible that Kamala Harris could lose to
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump? Democrats now figured it out. They are now
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: officially blaming Joe Biden, saying that this is somehow Joe
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Biden's fault. Joe Biden getting the blame by Harris' team
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: for the vice president's resounding loss, including okay, and this
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: just makes me laugh in including the popular vote. Remember
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: when they said it was all about the popular vote
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: and the electoral College is evil and it doesn't work
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and it's racists.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Remember that. Yeah, yeah, there you go.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's name wasn't on the ballot, but history will
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: likely remember. The Associated Press is writing this morning, uh,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: but history will likely remember Kamala Harris's resounding defeat as
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: his loss too, they write, as Democrats quote, pick up
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: the pieces this morning.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I do love the obituary. Like the obituary side of.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: This is just oh so fun, because it's just so
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: fun to watch them freak out and to be so angry,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to be so frustrated, picking up the pieces, right, they're frustrated,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and now they're trying to figure out what to do.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Democrats picking up the pieces, ap says falling president like
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's Trump's decisive victory, some of his of the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: vice president's backers are expressing quote real frustration.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: The Biden's decision to seek reelection.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Until this summer, despite long standing concerns about his age
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and unease about post pandemic inflation, as well as the
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: US Mexico border, all but sealed his party's.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Loss of the White House.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: So this is now Joe Biden's fault, not Kama Harris.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: There are also many that are angry this morning and saying, well,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: one of the big problems is we're mad. We're really
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: mad that we get to know Kama Harris, that there
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't enough time for her to introduce herself to the
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: American people. Hold on a second, You've been the vice
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: president for four years and you're telling me the American
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: people didn't have time, as you describe it, to get
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to quote know you are you kidding me. The biggest
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: owners of this loss is on President Biden, said Andrew Yang,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: who ran against Biden in twenty twenty for the Democratic nomination,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: endors Harris unsuccessful run.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: If he had stepped.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Down in January instead of July, we may have been
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: in a very different place. Biden will leave office after
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: leading the US out of the worst pandemic in a century,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the AP rights galvanizing international support for Ukraine in the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: aftermath of Russia's invasion, and passing a one trillion dollar
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: infrastructure bill that will impact communities for years to come.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: That's what they're saying his resume now is. But having
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: run four years ago against Trump to quote, restore the
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: soul of the country, Biden will make way after just
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: one term for his immediate predecessor, whoever came to impeachments,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a felony conviction, and an insurrection launched by his supporters
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the AP Rights. Trump is vowed to radically reshaped the
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: federal government and roll back many of Biden's priorities. Maybe
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: in twenty or thirty years history, the AP Rights will
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: remember Biden for some of these achievements. That's what Tom Riley,
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: co director of the Center for the Independent and Sustainable
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Democracy at Arizona State University said, but in the short term,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know, he escapes the legacy of being the
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: president who beat Trump, only to Usher and another Donald
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Trump administration four years later. The President on Wednesday stayed
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: out of site for the second straight day, making congrat
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: congratulatory calls to Democratic lawmakers who won down ballot races,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: as well as one to Trump, who he invited for
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: a White House meeting that the present elect accepted. Biden
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: is set to deliver Rose Guard address today about the election.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: He issued a statement shortly after Harris delivered her concession
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: speech on Wednesday, praising Harris for running an historic campaign
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: under extraordinary circumstances. Some high ranking Democrats, including three advisors
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: to the Harris campaign, expressed deep frustrations that Biden and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it was his fault for failing to recognize earlier in
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the election cycle that he was not up to the challenge.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: The advisor spoke on condition of eminemity because they were
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: not authorized to quote comment publicly. Biden eighty one ended
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: his re election campaign in July, weeks after a abysmal
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: debate performance sent his party to a spiral and raised
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: questions about whether he still had the mental acuity and
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: stamina to serve as a credible nominee, But polling long
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: before hand showed that many Americans worried about his age.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Some seventy seven percent of Americans said in August of
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three that Biden was too old to be
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: effective for four more years, according to a poll.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Now that was a year ago. This article right here
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: just makes me laugh.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: They don't understand that the real reason why Kamala Harris
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: lost and Joe Biden was going to lose. They don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: understand that the real reason is because they never listened
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: to the American people. They never listened to the American people.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: That's the problem. And if they would have listened to
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the American people, we'd be having a very different conversation
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Thank goodness, they didn't.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Thank goodness, they refused to listen to the American people.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: They're all fighting over a dude's age. That's what they're
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: fighting over. They're all fighting over the age of an
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: individual and fighting over well, she should have been given
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: more time. And if you would have given her more
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: runway and they didn't know her, she didn't get a
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: chance to introduce herself. Are you kidding me? She had
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: one hundred plus days and another three and a half
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: years as the vice president. Everybody knew who she was.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: They rejected what she said she wanted to do. It's
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: that simple. CNN having a meltdown over him inviting Donald
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Trump to the White House as well.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Here is what CNN said when they reported the.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: News Deerson As we mentioned that the top President Biden
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: and President elect Trump also spoke today. We learned that
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: mister Biden will address the nation tomorrow. CNN's Kayle's how
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: she is at the White House for US First, Kayla,
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: what do we expect to hear from the president tomorrow?
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: And what did you hear about the conversation he had
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: not only with Donald Trump, but of course with his
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: vice president.
• 23:00
  Speaker 8: The conversations were very brief, they are a very high level.
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: A White House official said that President Biden congratulated the
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: vice president on what he described as a historic campaign,
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: and as for the conversation with now President elect Donald Trump,
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: President Biden talked about being a president for all people
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: and ushering in a peaceful transition of power, and those
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: are some of the things that we're expecting President Biden
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: to touch on tomorrow when he delivers this address. Despite
• 23:25
  Speaker 8: some of the more piercing rhetoric from the campaign trail
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: in recent weeks. We expect the president to talk about
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: how he was a president for all people and he
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: expects Donald Trump to be the same, how he will
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: uphold democracy, which is of course one of the core
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: pillars of what he ran on protecting back in twenty
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: twenty and frequently revisited throughout the course of the last
• 23:48
  Speaker 8: four years. Now, clearly it is not a bittersweet moment
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: for President Biden. It is expected to be quite bitter
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: as he delivers this address in a race he believed
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: that he could have won. That there's any tinge of
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: that in his remarks, we don't expect there to be.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: We expect him to.
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: Be on script and speaking at a high level, but
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: of course we'll see when he actually delivers them.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Dana, Yeah, I mean you sort of alluded to this.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: This is obviously a fraud dynamic here because President Biden,
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: as you said, still believed that he could have beaten
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump.
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: He was.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Sort of unceremoniously removed, even though he said he did
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: not his own what are you hearing from his advisors
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: about what's going on there behind the scenes. Well, Dana,
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: there are three schools of thought that have sort of
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: emerged in the light of day after the results have
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: come in and not just come in, but shown a
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: landslide and decisive victory of sorts for Biden's predecessor that
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: he really ran campaigned directly against. And those three schools
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: of thoughts are as follows. The first is, perhaps Biden
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: should have just remained the candidate. He had that strong
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: coalition in the blue wall of white working class voters
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: that helped tip the ray to his favor in twenty twenty,
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: and that carried Donald Trump in twenty sixteen. Perhaps he
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: would have been able to carry that out. Then there's
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: the school of thought that perhaps blame should be placed
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: on former President Barack Obama for anointing Hillary Clinton in
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: twenty sixteen, and to Speaker and mere to Nancy Pelosi
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: who effectively pushed Biden out of the race this time around,
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: with aids saying that it was essentially the party's most
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: powerful that told Biden that he needed to step aside.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: They said that any other Democrat could beat Donald Trump,
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: and clearly they say that was not the case. And
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: then there's a final school of thought that is, perhaps
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: they just didn't fully grasp but just how unpopular President
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: Biden was. They believed that the data would eventually play
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: out in voter sentiment that President Biden's approval rating did
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: not accurately reflect how people actually felt on the ground. Batanna.
• 25:49
  Speaker 8: As we know, voters are never wrong. They have this
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: opportunity to speak their mind, to cast their ballots and
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: show where their priorities are. And that is the source
• 25:59
  Speaker 8: of a lot of reckoning for the Biden team in
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: the light of day.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's pretty clear their priority was with inflation
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: and the economy. Cala, thank you so much, Anderson.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: They should don't get it like they're the infighting here
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: is great news for us, because they don't get it.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: They don't get that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: They didn't just they should have just shut up and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: they should have listened to the voters they like, they
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: don't get it, folks, They do not. They refuse to
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: understand what is happening right now in this country.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: And then what this was actually about.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: They lied to the American people, for example, about this
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: last minute di je effort to say that Donald Trump
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: wanted to kill Liz Cheney, and everybody that heard the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: quote knew that it was a lie. They lied and
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: said this was the last election where free speech will
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: take a stand, saying if Donald Trump gets elected, you're
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: electing a hit A guy named Hitler, a Nazi and
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: his supporters are Nazis. That didn't land. Lawrence Odona went
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: out there on TV last night. He was angry blaming
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: white men for Kamla Harris, saying you're racist.
• 27:07
  Speaker 9: Listen, Frederick Douglas would be so proud and admiring of
• 27:12
  Speaker 9: Kamala Harris. He did not just fight for the right
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: to vote for black men when only white men could vote.
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: He also fought for the right to vote for all women.
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: When he was editor of the newspaper The North Star,
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: Frederick Douglas wrote, we hold woman to be justly entitled
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: to all we claim for man. That was a very
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: unpopular opinion among white men in this country at that time,
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: and it remains an unpopular opinion among some white men
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: in this country to this day. It may be that
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: not enough people in this country yet believe in the
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: full equality of women to elect a woman president of
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: the United States.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Wow there.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: It is white men you're to blame for Kamma's crushing
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: defeat because they do not yet believe in full equality
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: of women. No, I just didn't believe in our socialists
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and communist ideas like price controls at grocery stores. Call
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: me old fashioned, locking up, locking up, actual criminals call
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: me old fashion, this idea that somehow it's you know,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: oh if you and this and again, this is where
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: they're not paying attention. This is where they are not
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: paying attention. I can disagree with a candidate and it
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: shouldn't come down to racism, as you point the finger
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: at me afterwards, like that's their line every time if
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: you don't do what they say, Hey, we ran a woman,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: is a is a candidate, and you didn't vote for
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: and so you're white, so therefore you're racist and you
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: hate women.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: We heard it before with Hillary Clinton. We heard it
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: before Barack Obama. If you don't vote for Barack Obama,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: you're an internal.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Racist like that that that is what I mean. I'm sorry,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Like this is now where we are and they don't
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: understand it. Folks, they don't understand it. Make sure you
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: share a podcast wherever you can with your family and
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: your friends, and I'll see you back here tomorrow
