Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: It looks like in the last several hours, the Democrats
- 0:05Speaker 1: have kind of started to decide they're not going to
- 0:08Speaker 1: be able to get rid of Joe Biden. Now, Joe
- 0:10Speaker 1: Biden sent strongly worded letters slash notes to top Democrats
- 0:16Speaker 1: saying it's time to stop all the nonsense that I'm
- 0:20Speaker 1: not going to be the nominee. Democrats now seem to
- 0:24Speaker 1: be heading towards that, And if you want to know
- 0:27Speaker 1: what Vegas thinks, the betting markets are now going to
- 0:30Speaker 1: Joe Biden will in fact be the nominee, and he
- 0:34Speaker 1: will be the guy that is going to be up
- 0:36Speaker 1: against Donald Trump on election Day. Also to add to
- 0:41Speaker 1: this background, Democrats, as they're trying to figure out what
- 0:45Speaker 1: the hell they're doing, well, those that are vulnerable are
- 0:49Speaker 1: saying they just need to plan and we don't need
- 0:52Speaker 1: to undermine Joe Biden. If Joe Biden's going to be
- 0:54Speaker 1: the guy, we just need this to be the guy,
- 0:56Speaker 1: and let's just stop all the nonsense. So the couitt
- 1:00Speaker 1: emptied essence to replace Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee
- 1:04Speaker 1: appears to be sputtering because these prominent Democrats are publicly
- 1:09Speaker 1: lining up behind Joe Biden despite deep quote private concerns
- 1:14Speaker 1: documented within the party. Now vulnerable Democratic senators are trying
- 1:18Speaker 1: to win reelection in red and purple states. They are
- 1:22Speaker 1: there and they're saying, we just need the order. Okay,
- 1:25Speaker 1: we don't need all this insanity, we just need some order.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Then you have the squad members who are from deep
- 1:32Speaker 1: blue states, and I talked about this on the show yesterday.
- 1:35Speaker 1: They've now called us behind Joe Biden. What are they
- 1:37Speaker 1: getting in return? We don't know. And then adding to that,
- 1:42Speaker 1: the chairs of the congressional Black and Hispanic caucuses the
- 1:47Speaker 1: have now called us behind Joe Biden as well. So
- 1:51Speaker 1: what does this mean? If you look at it, the
- 1:54Speaker 1: overall party in general seems to be rallying behind an
- 1:59Speaker 1: extremely vulnerable Joe Biden to be at the top of
- 2:02Speaker 1: the tick of this fall because I think they realize
- 2:05Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is not going to step down on
- 2:08Speaker 1: his own. What would that leave us with the twenty
- 2:10Speaker 1: fifth Amendment? And I don't believe the twenty fifth is
- 2:14Speaker 1: going to be used against Joe Biden. And I'm going
- 2:16Speaker 1: to explain that and why I believe that in a moment.
- 2:19Speaker 1: But first let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. For
- 2:22Speaker 1: ten years. Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative
- 2:28Speaker 1: wireless provider. And when I say only, I mean it.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile was started because of what Big Mobile does
- 2:35Speaker 1: with your money after you pay your bill. You may
- 2:38Speaker 1: not know that when you pay your bill to Big Mobile,
- 2:40Speaker 1: you're giving a big donation to the Democratic Party at
- 2:43Speaker 1: the local, state, and national level. You may not realize
- 2:47Speaker 1: when you pay your bill the Big Mobile, you're actually
- 2:50Speaker 1: funding Planned Parenthood and other extremists democratic organizations and causes.
- 2:57Speaker 1: That is why I use Patriot Mobile, and I do,
- 3:00Speaker 1: and I travel all the time, and I can tell
- 3:02Speaker 1: you my coverage is perfect because in twenty twenty four,
- 3:06Speaker 1: every company uses now the same cell towers. It's not
- 3:10Speaker 1: like it used to be, where one's much better than
- 3:12Speaker 1: the other. You can switch to Patriot Mobile and get
- 3:16Speaker 1: the same exact coverage you're accustomed to without funding the Left. Now,
- 3:21Speaker 1: when I pay my bill to Patriot Mobile, here's the
- 3:24Speaker 1: best part for me. They take about five percent of
- 3:26Speaker 1: my bill at no extra cost to me, and they
- 3:29Speaker 1: give it back to conservative causes that support free speech,
- 3:32Speaker 1: that support religious freedom, that support the sanctity of life.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Our Second Amendment and they also stand proudly behind our military,
- 3:41Speaker 1: our veterans, our first responder heroes, and our wounded warriors.
- 3:45Speaker 1: Now is switching easy? Yeah, in twenty twenty four. With technology,
- 3:49Speaker 1: it is so easy. You can do it right now
- 3:51Speaker 1: over the phone. You can keep your same number you
- 3:53Speaker 1: have now keep your same phone, or upgrade to a
- 3:56Speaker 1: new one. Call Patriot Mobile, whether it's for you, your fan
- 4:00Speaker 1: or a business nine seven to two Patriot. That's nine
- 4:05Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot, nine seven to two Patriot, or
- 4:08Speaker 1: online it Patriotmobile dot com slash Ben. Use my name Ben,
- 4:12Speaker 1: You'll get free activation as well. Patriotmobile dot com slash
- 4:16Speaker 1: Ben or nine seven to two Patriot. Now, let me
- 4:20Speaker 1: talk about the twenty fifth for a second and why
- 4:22Speaker 1: I believe Democrats at the end of the day, this
- 4:25Speaker 1: is what it came down to. There was a real
- 4:27Speaker 1: conversation that I'm sure happened behind the scenes. Kamala Harris,
- 4:31Speaker 1: I'm sure was asked about it. Cabinet members were asked
- 4:35Speaker 1: about it. Are we gonna overthrow the will of the people,
- 4:39Speaker 1: and are we going to replace Joe Biden using the
- 4:43Speaker 1: twenty fifth? I think they decided against that, and that
- 4:47Speaker 1: is exactly why getting rid of Joe Biden? All that
- 4:51Speaker 1: speculation seems to have really disappeared over the last twenty
- 4:54Speaker 1: four hours. Look, Democrats could have gone nuclear. They decided
- 4:59Speaker 1: not to, and I'm sure many of them had those
- 5:01Speaker 1: conversations behind closed doors. Are we or are we not
- 5:04Speaker 1: going to be a part of this? Are we going
- 5:06Speaker 1: to do this? Are we willing to do this? And
- 5:08Speaker 1: if we did get rid of Joe Biden this way,
- 5:11Speaker 1: would there be enough angry Joe Biden supporters that would
- 5:14Speaker 1: then say, no matter who you choose the Democratic Party,
- 5:17Speaker 1: we're not going to show up and we're not going
- 5:18Speaker 1: to vote for them. I think ultimately that's actually what
- 5:22Speaker 1: it came down to. They understood that if they did
- 5:25Speaker 1: go that way, that there was going to be no
- 5:29Speaker 1: way to undo the damage that would be done to
- 5:34Speaker 1: Biden's supporters. They would lose them, meaning they lose the
- 5:37Speaker 1: election even if they were able to replace Joe Biden. Now,
- 5:42Speaker 1: I also think the second part of this is Joe
- 5:43Speaker 1: Biden has made it very clear I'm not going anywhere
- 5:46Speaker 1: they've said and stuck to their story. Right, I'm having
- 5:49Speaker 1: a bad night. It was a bad night. I didn't
- 5:52Speaker 1: get enough sleep. It was my fault. I over prepared, right,
- 5:55Speaker 1: He said this over and over again. But at the
- 5:57Speaker 1: end of the day, if he's not going to leave,
- 5:59Speaker 1: he's not going to leave. And let me just talk
- 6:01Speaker 1: about some of the proof of how the White House
- 6:04Speaker 1: is dug in. I want you to listen to Peter Doucy.
- 6:07Speaker 1: I've got three clips I'm going to play for you.
- 6:09Speaker 1: This is clip one of him at the White House
- 6:11Speaker 1: Press briefing. Listen to what question he asks.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Another family member. President Biden has told me before he
- 6:18Speaker 2: and his son don't have any business dealings together. So
- 6:22Speaker 2: what is Hunter Biden doing in White House meetings?
- 6:25Speaker 3: Are you talking about the meeting where they came together
- 6:29Speaker 3: from Camp David and the two of them walked to
- 6:33Speaker 3: the President's meeting and he was there.
- 6:35Speaker 2: There's a report that days were struck by his presence
- 6:38Speaker 2: during their discussions.
- 6:40Speaker 3: Look, I can't I'm certainly not going to get into
- 6:43Speaker 3: private conversations that occur. What I can say is, and
- 6:46Speaker 3: I talked to this, I spoke to this before. Is
- 6:49Speaker 3: that when they came back from Camp David, the President
- 6:52Speaker 3: spent a couple of days at Camp David with his family.
- 6:57Speaker 4: He is very close to his family.
- 6:58Speaker 3: As you know, it was the week the fourth of July,
- 7:00Speaker 3: which is why his family members were here last week.
- 7:04Speaker 3: They walked together, and they walked together into the meeting.
- 7:08Speaker 2: Can you see if Hunter Biden has access to classified information?
- 7:11Speaker 5: No, So you go back to this core issue, right.
- 7:15Speaker 1: President Biden has told me before that he and his
- 7:17Speaker 1: son don't have any business dealings. We now know that's
- 7:19Speaker 1: a lie. All of a sudden, Hunter Biden's and these
- 7:21Speaker 1: White House meetings. White House Press Secretary going back to
- 7:24Speaker 1: what she says, as she's always said, I I'm certainly
- 7:27Speaker 1: not going to get involved in those private conversations. Now
- 7:30Speaker 1: we should know why the president son is in those meetings.
- 7:32Speaker 1: I don't think that's crazy to ask those questions. But
- 7:35Speaker 1: notice after Peter Deucy asked that question, something changed with
- 7:38Speaker 1: the media. From what we've been hearing over the last week,
- 7:41Speaker 1: week and a half, there wasn't any follow ups from
- 7:44Speaker 1: the rest of the media. You notice how fast the
- 7:47Speaker 1: media is kind of getting back in line. How all
- 7:49Speaker 1: of a sudden the pounding of the White House Press
- 7:53Speaker 1: Secretary just like stopped right then and there, and then
- 7:57Speaker 1: Peter Deucy asked another question.
- 7:59Speaker 5: It's an important question.
- 8:01Speaker 1: This is the question he asked dealing a little bit
- 8:03Speaker 1: with a different issue.
- 8:04Speaker 5: Listen carefully, this is not you're saying.
- 8:07Speaker 2: This is not a situation where you would rather just
- 8:10Speaker 2: not know there is. What I will tell you is
- 8:13Speaker 2: if he does get a bad result, it is all
- 8:16Speaker 2: over right away.
- 8:18Speaker 6: He can't run for reelection.
- 8:19Speaker 3: First of all, it's a hypothetical, right that you're giving
- 8:22Speaker 3: me a hypothetical. But I will also say, just to
- 8:24Speaker 3: clear this up, the White House Medical Unit, his doctor.
- 8:31Speaker 3: They don't believe that he needs anything more than what
- 8:35Speaker 3: we have been able to provide a full, full, detailed,
- 8:41Speaker 3: very comprehensive physical that he had four months ago. That
- 8:46Speaker 3: is their decision to make. It's not yours, it's not mine,
- 8:48Speaker 3: it's the White White House Medical Unit.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Notice White House Press again not losing their minds, kind
- 8:55Speaker 1: of getting back in line. And that's an important question, right,
- 8:58Speaker 1: like why won't you guys do this task is dignive
- 9:00Speaker 1: tests and make it public for the public because they
- 9:03Speaker 1: know that it's going to show the guy clearly is
- 9:05Speaker 1: either has Alzheimer's dementia, whatever the hell's wrong. There is
- 9:09Speaker 1: a real cognitive issue here, and that is the reason
- 9:12Speaker 1: why she answered the question the way that she did.
- 9:16Speaker 5: No, the President's not going to do this.
- 9:18Speaker 1: We don't feel we need this needs to happen, and
- 9:20Speaker 1: we're just going to keep lying to you because it's
- 9:22Speaker 1: better than the truth. Now, let me also play for
- 9:26Speaker 1: you another clip from the White House Press briefing. A
- 9:28Speaker 1: White House reporter asked Corarine if she would comment on
- 9:34Speaker 1: something that happened back in September, and she instantly cut
- 9:38Speaker 1: that reporter off. Listen to this, and we certainly understand.
- 9:43Speaker 7: You know, you speak on behalf of the president, and
- 9:45Speaker 7: you defend him, his actions, his positions, his policy positions included.
- 9:51Speaker 7: Can I just ask you about one example just going
- 9:53Speaker 7: back that comes to.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Mind September in the past, were's are about the last
- 9:58Speaker 3: twelve days?
- 10:00Speaker 4: Talking about you just went, well, you.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Just said recently it's been you know, we've been going
- 10:05Speaker 3: back and forth and so in the last you know,
- 10:08Speaker 3: twelve days or so.
- 10:09Speaker 4: That was how I believe that's how you asked me
- 10:11Speaker 4: the question. I was talking.
- 10:12Speaker 7: Generally, But if I could just ask you about.
- 10:14Speaker 3: One example, I mean, look, if you're going to ask
- 10:17Speaker 3: me about something from months ago, it probably would be
- 10:19Speaker 3: fair for me to I probably won't be able to
- 10:22Speaker 3: answer that right away.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Whatever it is that you're you're going to say to me,
- 10:25Speaker 4: come back to us, and yeah, I'm happy.
- 10:27Speaker 6: To do that.
- 10:27Speaker 3: But it's also to say, hey, from September of whenever year, right,
- 10:33Speaker 3: that is that is something that I probably should give
- 10:36Speaker 3: a little space to kind of see exactly what you're
- 10:38Speaker 3: speaking of. Okay, and that's fine, and you know, I
- 10:42Speaker 3: just want to make sure that we kind of give
- 10:44Speaker 3: some contacts here.
- 10:45Speaker 4: Yeah, and you'll.
- 10:47Speaker 7: Remember this, this was an event where the President called
- 10:51Speaker 7: out Congressman and Jackie Lauriski looked for her in the room,
- 10:55Speaker 7: even though she had recently died. You told multiple reporters
- 10:59Speaker 7: at the time, and this was awesome.
- 11:02Speaker 4: She was top right, Yea, it.
- 11:04Speaker 7: Was because she was top of my Another president, I mean,
- 11:06Speaker 7: would you on that example, would you offer a different.
- 11:09Speaker 3: Expility, because honestly, I spoke to the President right before
- 11:13Speaker 3: coming out that day, and that is what the President
- 11:16Speaker 3: told me. It's not something that came from me. That
- 11:19Speaker 3: is something that came from the president. So he was saying,
- 11:22Speaker 3: even as he was.
- 11:23Speaker 4: For her in the moment, it wasn't as she was
- 11:26Speaker 4: top of mine.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Okay, that is coming as you just said in your question,
- 11:30Speaker 3: I speak for the president, I speak on behalf of
- 11:33Speaker 3: him that was coming from him, and I was delivering
- 11:36Speaker 3: directly from the President what he was thinking at the time.
- 11:39Speaker 5: I mean, this is incredible.
- 11:40Speaker 1: If you're talking about months ago, I probably won't be
- 11:43Speaker 1: able to answer that right away. So now the White
- 11:45Speaker 1: House is saying, if you have a question that doesn't
- 11:47Speaker 1: deal with today, if you have a question that deals
- 11:50Speaker 1: with something from I don't know, September or any other
- 11:52Speaker 1: time and his time in office, I'm gonna have to
- 11:55Speaker 1: get it amnesia and google it and then I'll get
- 11:59Speaker 1: back to you and the White House let them get
- 12:02Speaker 1: away with that. Here's something else that I want to
- 12:06Speaker 1: play for you, because again this shows how quickly the
- 12:10Speaker 1: media will get back in line, excluding people like Peter Doocy.
- 12:13Speaker 1: Peter Doucy asked a question about like who's in charge?
- 12:16Speaker 1: We keep hearing about the President being asleep early, the
- 12:19Speaker 1: president sleeping in, having a short schedule. So what do
- 12:23Speaker 1: you have to say about, like who's answering the phone,
- 12:26Speaker 1: who's calling the shots? Is it the first lady that's
- 12:29Speaker 1: running the country. Listen, he's sharpest before eight pm, So
- 12:34Speaker 1: say that the.
- 12:35Speaker 2: Pentagon at some point picks up an incoming new It's
- 12:38Speaker 2: eleven PM.
- 12:40Speaker 6: Who do you call the first lady?
- 12:42Speaker 3: He has a team that lets him know of any
- 12:45Speaker 3: of any news that is.
- 12:47Speaker 4: Pertinent and important to the American people.
- 12:49Speaker 3: He has someone or that is decided obviously with his
- 12:53Speaker 3: National Security Council, and who gets to tell him that news.
- 12:57Speaker 1: I just have to go back to the reality now
- 13:00Speaker 1: of the situation. We have a White House that is
- 13:05Speaker 1: on record and a president who says I can handle
- 13:11Speaker 1: the job before eight o'clock. Now, what Peter Deucy asks there,
- 13:17Speaker 1: I don't think is an unfair question. Okay, I think
- 13:21Speaker 1: that the what Peter Deucy asked, like, who do they
- 13:25Speaker 1: call the first lady? She's still up after eight? She
- 13:28Speaker 1: can still make decisions after eight? Like, how does this work?
- 13:34Speaker 1: How does this work?
- 13:37Speaker 2: Now?
- 13:37Speaker 1: The President was at a rally today and one of
- 13:41Speaker 1: the things that he keeps talking about is when I
- 13:44Speaker 1: get knocked down, I get up again.
- 13:46Speaker 3: Right.
- 13:46Speaker 5: Might sound like a song lyric, it is actually one.
- 13:50Speaker 1: But this is there the real like obsession with this
- 13:53Speaker 1: White House, which is, Hey, no matter how bad it gets,
- 13:57Speaker 1: this President keeps getting up. He's getting off the floor.
- 14:01Speaker 1: He falls down a lot, but by gull he stands
- 14:03Speaker 1: back up. He may not be able to make decisions
- 14:05Speaker 1: before or after you know, noon and before or after
- 14:10Speaker 1: eight o'clock at night, but when he is making those decisions,
- 14:13Speaker 1: he's going to do his best. So that's now, like,
- 14:16Speaker 1: really where we are. That's the sales pitch. Okay, that's
- 14:20Speaker 1: the whole thing. That is the sales pitch. So fast
- 14:24Speaker 1: forward to the White House, to the White House Press secretary, like, hey,
- 14:28Speaker 1: you guys are admitting the guys that got problems. You're
- 14:31Speaker 1: admitting there's a major cognitive issue here. You're admitting that
- 14:35Speaker 1: he can't do the job well at certain hours of
- 14:38Speaker 1: the day. We don't know who's running the country. Why
- 14:41Speaker 1: doesn't anybody in the presence family urge him to go,
- 14:43Speaker 1: I don't know, get checked out, especially after we found
- 14:46Speaker 1: out that this specialist from Walter Reed that deals with like,
- 14:49Speaker 1: you know, people falling and cognitive issues is showing up
- 14:53Speaker 1: eight times in eight months.
- 14:55Speaker 5: Right, we talked about that yesterday. Listen to White House.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Why doesn't anybody in the president's be virgin just to
- 15:01Speaker 2: go to get checked out, to say the coast is cleared.
- 15:04Speaker 3: Okay, so just to step back just a little bit,
- 15:06Speaker 3: because I think you were in the briefing room last week.
- 15:09Speaker 3: I don't want to go backwards, but just to share
- 15:11Speaker 3: a little bit about that night. The President said it
- 15:13Speaker 3: was a bad night. He talked about it, he had
- 15:17Speaker 3: a cold, right, he talked about his schedule right being abroad.
- 15:22Speaker 3: And so we've spoke about what that night was like
- 15:25Speaker 3: for him, and we understand what the American people saw,
- 15:29Speaker 3: what you all saw.
- 15:30Speaker 4: We've spoken to that.
- 15:32Speaker 3: And I also would say, and I think you know this, Peter,
- 15:35Speaker 3: You've covered a couple of administration at this point, administrations
- 15:38Speaker 3: at this point that the president, every president has a
- 15:42Speaker 3: White House medical unit that is with him twenty four
- 15:45Speaker 3: to seven, that is available to him twenty four to seven.
- 15:48Speaker 4: That is unlike any other American right, that is not
- 15:51Speaker 4: the norm. That is uncommon.
- 15:53Speaker 3: Just down on the other side of the colonnade is
- 15:56Speaker 3: where the medical unit is. And I did share in
- 16:00Speaker 3: that the president checks in while he's exercising with his
- 16:03Speaker 3: doctor a couple of times a week, and so he
- 16:07Speaker 3: has he has something that most majority of Americans, all Americans,
- 16:12Speaker 3: I would probably argue, don't have, which is a full
- 16:16Speaker 3: medical unit that is with him at all times, and
- 16:19Speaker 3: he gets a full, full, full physical, annual physical that
- 16:24Speaker 3: we share with all of you. And that is very different,
- 16:28Speaker 3: very different than an everyday American who sometimes they lucky
- 16:32Speaker 3: if they can go get a physical, they have to
- 16:34Speaker 3: get into a car, they have to take public transportation.
- 16:37Speaker 3: The president has again a medical unit that's with him
- 16:39Speaker 3: here at the White House and travels.
- 16:41Speaker 2: So I guess the question is just this is not
- 16:44Speaker 2: you're saying, this is not a situation where he would
- 16:47Speaker 2: rather just not know if there is. What I will
- 16:50Speaker 2: tell you is if he does get a bad result, it.
- 16:53Speaker 6: Is all over.
- 16:54Speaker 2: He has some office right away, can't run for reelection.
- 16:56Speaker 3: First of all, it's a hypothetical, right that that you're
- 16:59Speaker 3: giving me a hypothetical. But I will also say, just
- 17:02Speaker 3: to clear this up, the White House Medical Unit, his doctor.
- 17:08Speaker 3: They don't believe that he needs anything more than what
- 17:12Speaker 3: we have been able to provide, a full, full, detailed,
- 17:18Speaker 3: very comprehensive physical that he had four months ago. It
- 17:23Speaker 3: is their decision to make. It's not yours, it's not mine,
- 17:25Speaker 3: it's the White White House medical unit.
- 17:28Speaker 1: So the family, if you think they're going to give
- 17:30Speaker 1: you anything, yeah, they're not. Which brings me back to
- 17:35Speaker 1: what I said at the very beginning. I think he's
- 17:38Speaker 1: probably just gonna be the guy. I think he's probably
- 17:43Speaker 1: just gonna be there and they're not going to be
- 17:47Speaker 1: able to get rid of him. I think it's pretty
- 17:50Speaker 1: obvious that this administration has zero intentions of being transparent
- 18:01Speaker 1: or getting a cognitive test done that the public can see.
- 18:06Speaker 1: I believe they know what the problem is with the
- 18:07Speaker 1: present behind the scenes. I think that's why you've seen
- 18:10Speaker 1: all the cover ups that we've just witnessed. But they're
- 18:14Speaker 1: not doing this, folks like they're just not. Like I'm
- 18:16Speaker 1: telling you right now, they're not going to budge on this.
- 18:20Speaker 1: They're never going to move as long as they can
- 18:23Speaker 1: keep power. And I think this goes back to the
- 18:26Speaker 1: simplistic reason that I said earlier. I don't think Joe
- 18:30Speaker 1: Biden is necessarily like power drunk anymore. I think he
- 18:34Speaker 1: just knows he's got to protect his son, and that
- 18:36Speaker 1: he doesn't want his son to go to jail. I
- 18:38Speaker 1: also think that he knows that the party could turn
- 18:41Speaker 1: on him and the Biden crime family very quickly if
- 18:44Speaker 1: he's out of office, so he needs to protect his
- 18:46Speaker 1: wife and his brother as well from all of the
- 18:49Speaker 1: corruption issues around them, and the best way to do
- 18:52Speaker 1: that is to stay in office. Let me also say
- 18:57Speaker 1: this about Democrats. Want to be clear, not all of
- 19:01Speaker 1: them are falling in line.
- 19:04Speaker 5: Okay.
- 19:05Speaker 1: House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar was asked at their
- 19:10Speaker 1: briefing on Capitol Hill today about supporting Joe Biden.
- 19:16Speaker 5: Listen to what he said?
- 19:18Speaker 4: Doesn't asked with eight Democrats.
- 19:21Speaker 3: Jump and the racers said, colleagues too, you are trouble
- 19:26Speaker 3: in the election and the scores I can hear into
- 19:29Speaker 3: ordering the service a conversation.
- 19:30Speaker 1: With the Democratics.
- 19:31Speaker 3: Publis privately extremely concerned.
- 19:35Speaker 4: Is he doing enough to persuasion concerns among the copestpossibility
- 19:39Speaker 4: to win against November?
- 19:41Speaker 8: You know, I think this is the President has said
- 19:44Speaker 8: himself that he's he's going to be out there, right.
- 19:46Speaker 8: This is about campaigning and and and hustling. My answer is,
- 19:51Speaker 8: you know, we'll see, like let's let's see, let's see
- 19:55Speaker 8: the press conference, Let's see, uh, the the campaign stops.
- 19:59Speaker 8: Let's see all of this, because all of it is
- 20:02Speaker 8: going to be necessary. The President knows that he did
- 20:05Speaker 8: not have a good debate performance. He knows that he
- 20:07Speaker 8: has to be out there in people's districts, out in
- 20:10Speaker 8: the communities, out in these tough states. He knows that,
- 20:14Speaker 8: and that's that's what we'll see in the days. And
- 20:18Speaker 8: we said, thank you so much.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Now you notice we'll see means we don't believe he
- 20:22Speaker 1: can do it. So you guys watch it and then
- 20:26Speaker 1: tell us if we're right now. There's others in the
- 20:28Speaker 1: media that have already gone one eighty on this.
- 20:30Speaker 5: Okay. The View had a.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Disgusting monologue where Whoopi Goldberg is already back in line, like, hey,
- 20:40Speaker 1: we're back in line. Nothing to see here, Joe Biden's amazing.
- 20:45Speaker 1: We love Joe Biden. Here's Whoopy Goldberg in her defense
- 20:50Speaker 1: of Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
- 20:53Speaker 9: I don't care if he's pooped his pants. I don't
- 20:58Speaker 9: care if he can put a sentence together. Show me
- 21:03Speaker 9: he can't do the job, and then I'll say, Okay,
- 21:06Speaker 9: maybe it's time to go now. He had a bad
- 21:09Speaker 9: night the first time that he went out and debated
- 21:13Speaker 9: with Kamila Harris, and everybody wanted him to quit that
- 21:16Speaker 9: and say you.
- 21:17Speaker 6: Can't talk to women like this.
- 21:18Speaker 9: So you're doing this right, not wrong. He came back said,
- 21:21Speaker 9: you know what, I got it and gave four years. So, yeah,
- 21:26Speaker 9: I have poopy days all the time. I step in
- 21:30Speaker 9: so much pool you can't even imagine. Now, I'm not
- 21:35Speaker 9: running the world, but I don't know anybody who doesn't
- 21:40Speaker 9: step in stuff at some point. So I'm just simply saying,
- 21:45Speaker 9: there are two debates, and if he can't do what
- 21:48Speaker 9: he needs to do for the second debate, I'll join
- 21:50Speaker 9: any crew that says get rid of him, but loyalty
- 21:53Speaker 9: to me. If you are doing the job. I might
- 21:56Speaker 9: not like everything you're doing. I don't like it all,
- 22:00Speaker 9: but I'm gonna.
- 22:00Speaker 5: Stand behind you.
- 22:01Speaker 9: Let those guys stand behind the guy who should have
- 22:04Speaker 9: been the person people we're talking about saying, yeah, Biden
- 22:07Speaker 9: had a bad day, but this guy couldn't tell the
- 22:09Speaker 9: truth if.
- 22:09Speaker 6: It's split his lip.
- 22:11Speaker 1: So your new defense from the media is we don't
- 22:15Speaker 1: care if he poops his pants as long as he's
- 22:19Speaker 1: running the country. It's better than the other guy.
- 22:23Speaker 5: That's it. Better than the other guy.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Also, the Parkinson's doctors, they're now making their visits on NBC.
- 22:33Speaker 1: NBC News actually had the park A doctor, Tom Pitts,
- 22:37Speaker 1: a board certified neurologists, and they're now bringing them on
- 22:41Speaker 1: TV to pontificate about Joe Biden. So not everybody again
- 22:46Speaker 1: is in line. There's still a war going on.
- 22:48Speaker 10: Listen to talk more about those eight White House visits
- 22:52Speaker 10: by the Parkinson's expert. I'm joined tonight by doctor Tom Pitts.
- 22:55Speaker 10: He's a quadruple board certified neurologist. He sees patients with
- 22:59Speaker 10: Parkinson's all the time, he diagnoses it. I want to
- 23:02Speaker 10: be completely transparent here. You've never examined President Biden. From
- 23:05Speaker 10: my knowledge, you've never even spoke.
- 23:07Speaker 6: Have you spoken yet? That's a President Biden been in
- 23:09Speaker 6: the Yeah.
- 23:10Speaker 10: And we're just going to use what we have so far,
- 23:12Speaker 10: which is what we've seen, the President's interviews and the
- 23:15Speaker 10: information coming out of the White House. So my first
- 23:17Speaker 10: question to you is, as somebody who's a neurologist, what
- 23:20Speaker 10: you've seen from the president over the last two years,
- 23:22Speaker 10: what you saw at the debate, the last few interviews,
- 23:25Speaker 10: the way he speaks, the way maybe he walks. Have
- 23:28Speaker 10: you noticed anything that gives you a red flag?
- 23:31Speaker 6: As a doctor? Oh?
- 23:32Speaker 11: Yeah, I see him twenty times a day in clinic.
- 23:34Speaker 11: I mean it's ironic because he has just classic features
- 23:37Speaker 11: of NERD degeneration. I mean word finding difficulties, and that's
- 23:40Speaker 11: not oh I couldn't find the word. That's from degeneration
- 23:42Speaker 11: of the word retrieval area.
- 23:44Speaker 10: He's also overcome stuttering though, could that be part of
- 23:47Speaker 10: that too.
- 23:47Speaker 11: No, this is not a palattle issue or a speech discrepancy,
- 23:50Speaker 11: which is very different from a lemon nod dysfunction actual
- 23:53Speaker 11: word retrieval where you pick a similar question or talk
- 23:56Speaker 11: around the issue. Plus the rigidity monotone voice, Wait, go
- 24:00Speaker 11: back to that. The rigidity, what do you mean, loss
- 24:02Speaker 11: of arms swings standing up lord Dotically, you notice when
- 24:05Speaker 11: he turns, it's kind of nd block turning.
- 24:07Speaker 6: It's not a quick turn.
- 24:09Speaker 11: So that's one of the hallmarks of Parkinson's is rigidity
- 24:13Speaker 11: and brady Kinesia's slow movement.
- 24:16Speaker 5: By the way, I'm playing this for you.
- 24:18Speaker 1: And if Fox News Channel would have done this segment,
- 24:22Speaker 1: every news outlet a couple months ago would have said,
- 24:24Speaker 1: you know, this is disgusting and vile and Fox News
- 24:28Speaker 1: should be taken off of cable and the Internet and
- 24:31Speaker 1: it should be banned and how sick.
- 24:33Speaker 5: Are these people?
- 24:34Speaker 1: But now NBC News is having a Parkinson's doctor come
- 24:40Speaker 1: to NBC and then telling NBC that Biden has classic
- 24:46Speaker 1: features of Parkinson's disease. And the doctor said, I could
- 24:50Speaker 1: have diagnosed him from across the mall. I see him
- 24:54Speaker 1: twenty times a day in clinic, meaning he sees the
- 24:57Speaker 1: same features in clinic from patients every day.
- 25:01Speaker 5: Keep listening. It gets better.
- 25:03Speaker 11: And he has that hallmark, especially with the low voices
- 25:05Speaker 11: said as a cold hypophonia.
- 25:08Speaker 6: A small monotone.
- 25:10Speaker 11: Voice like this over time is a hallmark of Parkinsonism.
- 25:13Speaker 11: I could have diagnosed him from across the mall.
- 25:15Speaker 10: Here here are some of the symptoms from Parkinson's.
- 25:18Speaker 6: We just had him up there on the screen. We
- 25:19Speaker 6: can put him back. What about the movement.
- 25:22Speaker 10: Some people have pointed out the way he walks sometimes
- 25:24Speaker 10: it's not very fast, small steps. Is that something that
- 25:27Speaker 10: that is common in people were battling a disease like
- 25:30Speaker 10: Parkinson Yah.
- 25:31Speaker 6: It's a hallmark shuffling gait.
- 25:32Speaker 11: We call that so little steps, loss of arms swing
- 25:35Speaker 11: from the rigidity when we walk.
- 25:37Speaker 6: We have a nice cadence.
- 25:38Speaker 11: He you knows, he doesn't really swing his arms and
- 25:40Speaker 11: ND block turning, meaning he kind of pivots around his
- 25:43Speaker 11: foot if you said, hey, President Biden, he wouldn't go
- 25:46Speaker 11: like this.
- 25:47Speaker 6: Yeah, but I also know I.
- 25:48Speaker 10: Also don't tell me if I'm wrong here. It's very
- 25:50Speaker 10: hard to diagnose Parkinson's, isn't it. It's not simple. I
- 25:53Speaker 10: mean I've heard that.
- 25:54Speaker 6: It can be.
- 25:54Speaker 11: I heard the one of the easier movement disorders to diagnose, actually, right,
- 25:58Speaker 11: but it's so clinic there.
- 25:59Speaker 6: There's very little other thing. And I'm a you know,
- 26:01Speaker 6: I'm a Democrat. I always say, yeah, at this right,
- 26:03Speaker 6: It's just like, this guy is not a hard case.
- 26:05Speaker 6: But I've had I've had relatives.
- 26:07Speaker 10: Who have gone through issues, neurological issues, and I've heard
- 26:09Speaker 10: that sometimes Parkinson's is not very easy to nail it.
- 26:12Speaker 6: You have to take a lot of tests.
- 26:13Speaker 11: There's like, I mean, early on, if you're just presented
- 26:16Speaker 11: with like hallucinations, I could be a variety of things,
- 26:18Speaker 11: or just the cognitive problems that could be Alzheimer's versus
- 26:22Speaker 11: parkinson Ism, and that becomes a little nebulous.
- 26:24Speaker 6: But once you start.
- 26:25Speaker 11: Manifesting the hallmark motor symptoms, right, slow movement, rigidity, mass faces, hypophonia.
- 26:31Speaker 11: I mean, if a med student did not pick Parkinson's
- 26:34Speaker 11: on the test, they mediated.
- 26:36Speaker 6: Let me ask you if you had if you hadn't.
- 26:39Speaker 5: I'm stealing shocked that this is on NBC News. This
- 26:45Speaker 5: is on NBC News.
- 26:48Speaker 1: This Parkinson's doctor slash expert telling NBC Biden has classic
- 26:53Speaker 1: features of disease. I could have diagnosed him from across
- 26:56Speaker 1: the mall and saying if a med student couldn't do
- 26:59Speaker 1: it what I'm saying, then they wouldn't be a doctor.
- 27:04Speaker 1: And you can hear ou NBC News like, Hey, we're
- 27:06Speaker 1: gonna set you up, bro like, and he says, I'm
- 27:08Speaker 1: a Democrat, but I'm telling you the dudes got Parkinson's.
- 27:11Speaker 5: They're not done, you know.
- 27:12Speaker 10: And I know you can't. You have no idea what
- 27:14Speaker 10: happened in the White House. But a neurologist coming eight
- 27:17Speaker 10: times in eight months? Does that tell you anything?
- 27:19Speaker 3: Is that?
- 27:20Speaker 5: Is that?
- 27:20Speaker 10: I mean, I know you're just you're just sort of
- 27:22Speaker 10: speculating here, But does that tell you anything?
- 27:24Speaker 2: Or no?
- 27:24Speaker 11: Well, I mean I don't know if they're like the
- 27:26Speaker 11: best of friends or something, but that's a very specific
- 27:28Speaker 11: you know, he's a movement disorder, that's a subspecialist and
- 27:31Speaker 11: exactly what he has. And there's very few young people
- 27:33Speaker 11: like a marine guard. Most people would be med boarded
- 27:36Speaker 11: out for any type of movement disorder at a young age,
- 27:38Speaker 11: like if you had Huntington's Korea early on set Parkinson's dystonia,
- 27:43Speaker 11: that essential tremor, you're usually med boarded out.
- 27:46Speaker 6: So I highly doubt there's what does that mean med boarded?
- 27:48Speaker 6: I mean the military.
- 27:49Speaker 11: Would not let you if you have seizures, for example,
- 27:51Speaker 11: you cannot usually be in the military.
- 27:53Speaker 6: That is you are saying.
- 27:55Speaker 10: You're seeing you don't necessarily believe and they're not saying this,
- 27:58Speaker 10: but right they said, there's stout of military members that
- 28:01Speaker 10: go to the White House that treated.
- 28:02Speaker 6: There for health reasons.
- 28:04Speaker 10: Yeah, you're not buying that that's a random military person.
- 28:07Speaker 11: No, that would be very odd to just see a
- 28:09Speaker 11: random movement disorder case at the White House, you know,
- 28:12Speaker 11: especially a young guard. There aren't many young people that
- 28:14Speaker 11: have movement disorders that could be in the military.
- 28:17Speaker 10: And then you know, a lot of people have called
- 28:19Speaker 10: for a cognitive test. What exactly would that entail? What
- 28:22Speaker 10: does that mean?
- 28:23Speaker 11: Now that's the key, because we're finding retrieval doesn't necessarily
- 28:26Speaker 11: mean you don't know what you want to say? What
- 28:28Speaker 11: I cannot comment on is his ability to make good decisions.
- 28:32Speaker 11: His motor symptoms are degenerating. He has parkinsonisms. That is
- 28:35Speaker 11: a fact. You know he has the generation of the brain.
- 28:38Speaker 11: Show me the MRI. Show me he doesn't. You know,
- 28:40Speaker 11: you put your money where your mouth is. He definitely
- 28:41Speaker 11: has it. But the problem is when you look at
- 28:43Speaker 11: his situation, you can't say, oh, I know for a
- 28:47Speaker 11: fact that because he didn't retrieve the word, he didn't
- 28:49Speaker 11: know what he wanted to say. And that's why both
- 28:51Speaker 11: him and Trump should take the four hour neuropsychological testing,
- 28:55Speaker 11: which is the hallmark test for cognitive performance.
- 28:58Speaker 6: What do you do in this test? A lot of things.
- 29:00Speaker 11: So for example, they may have you say, like, say
- 29:03Speaker 11: as many words you can in a minute that start
- 29:04Speaker 11: with F blockbuilding, retrieval, I may I may say cup
- 29:08Speaker 11: and have you recall it three minutes later, trail drawing.
- 29:11Speaker 11: These are done with a profession of PhD in neuros
- 29:14Speaker 11: Psychology has nothing to do with psychiatry.
- 29:16Speaker 6: And we can tell if you have that four hours long.
- 29:19Speaker 11: Four hour it's a full day. We tell people bring
- 29:21Speaker 11: a snack, it is a full day. And that so
- 29:23Speaker 11: not the mocha which was a bedside test that President
- 29:26Speaker 11: Trump took. You know, these are tests that are screening tests.
- 29:29Speaker 11: They don't rule in you know, if you do great.
- 29:32Speaker 10: No, there's no way to sort of lide in this
- 29:34Speaker 10: test to sort of aceit.
- 29:36Speaker 6: Even though you're saying, oh.
- 29:37Speaker 11: Way, this one will will it will come out in
- 29:40Speaker 11: the wash. For example, if I do the bedside exam
- 29:42Speaker 11: to an accountant and I asked the once one hundred
- 29:44Speaker 11: ninetus seven, even the worst NERD degenerated patient, if they
- 29:47Speaker 11: worked at a high education level or something like that.
- 29:50Speaker 6: Is going to get that right.
- 29:51Speaker 11: But in the four hour test it will come out.
- 29:53Speaker 10: Finally, I mean, you said you're a democrat, you're a doctor.
- 29:55Speaker 10: You sound like you're frustrated with what the White House
- 29:58Speaker 10: is saying.
- 29:59Speaker 5: Why carefully this final thing.
- 30:02Speaker 1: This is a doctor who sounds, as they described, frustrated.
- 30:05Speaker 1: He's a Democrat, and he says, why listen, well.
- 30:08Speaker 11: Because you know, I'm an American before everything, and I
- 30:11Speaker 11: look at it and say, when I used to see Russia,
- 30:13Speaker 11: Soviet Union, North Korea when they just make out rageous things,
- 30:16Speaker 11: you know, like when North Korea can't keep the lights
- 30:18Speaker 11: on and they say, oh, you know, it was some
- 30:20Speaker 11: faulty power thing, I kind of hate that kind of stuff.
- 30:23Speaker 6: They had four years.
- 30:24Speaker 11: My own party had four years to find you know,
- 30:26Speaker 11: this was a reconslow motion, and they had four years
- 30:29Speaker 11: to find out of three hundred and fifty Americans, one
- 30:33Speaker 11: person that could take the place. And here we are
- 30:35Speaker 11: the day before school, trying to do the homework and
- 30:37Speaker 11: replace a guy who's got a neurodegenerative.
- 30:39Speaker 1: Disease, doctor Pitts, with who's got a neuro degenerative disease.
- 30:43Speaker 1: This is a Democrat who was just given six minutes
- 30:48Speaker 1: to own the President of the United States on this issue.
- 30:53Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say, but they're still trying.
- 30:59Speaker 1: There are some that are still saying, no, we can't
- 31:02Speaker 1: go with him. But at the end of the day,
- 31:04Speaker 1: if they get back in line, and it seems like
- 31:06Speaker 1: the media is starting to do it, Joe Biden's going
- 31:08Speaker 1: to be your guy. Make sure you share this podcast
- 31:12Speaker 1: wherever you can on social media. Please rise a five
- 31:16Speaker 1: star review and I'll see you back here tomorrow.
