Democrats in Despair Over Biden's 2024 Election Hopes · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Democrats are in despair.
0:04
Speaker 2: That is the new report out about Biden's twenty twenty
0:06
Speaker 2: four hopes, and they say that this is going to
0:10
Speaker 2: be a problem up and down the ticket because of
0:12
Speaker 2: his peril due to age and also inflation and the economy.
0:17
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
0:18
Speaker 2: What I've been predicting on this show now for months
0:22
Speaker 2: that Democrats are going to try to offload Joe Biden
0:25
Speaker 2: at the last second. That is their way they believe
0:28
Speaker 2: they can win, probably the only way that they believe
0:31
Speaker 2: they can win. Now, Democrats are reportedly in total despair.
0:35
Speaker 2: The President Biden's hopes of winning reelection are periled due
0:37
Speaker 2: to his age and the soaring costs of living for taxpayers.
0:41
Speaker 2: The new data is being reported by the mainstream media,
0:45
Speaker 2: So the mainstream media is now turning on Joe Biden
0:48
Speaker 2: with the headline I just read for you and again,
0:50
Speaker 2: this is a perfect example of knowing now exactly what's happening.
0:54
Speaker 2: The report signals in fighting among Democrats and the establishment
0:58
Speaker 2: media's quest to help the world White House resolve the
1:01
Speaker 2: conflict or move on altogether to another candidate. Dozens of
1:07
Speaker 2: Democrats and never Trump Republicans told Politico's Jonathan Martin that
1:12
Speaker 2: Biden must change his strategy to remain in the White House.
1:15
Speaker 2: Biden focused his reelection hopes on so called Bidenomics, which
1:19
Speaker 2: some Democrats believe should be well shoved into a dumpster
1:24
Speaker 2: because it's just such a bad as they describe it.
1:27
Speaker 2: Talking point his aids quote are under no illusion about
1:31
Speaker 2: their challenge, Martin rode, highlighting their level of despair with
1:35
Speaker 2: striking because Biden is indeed in peril, Martin wrote, Democrats
1:40
Speaker 2: worry that Biden's age being eighty will hinder his quote
1:43
Speaker 2: capacity to govern. In translation, they know that it is
1:47
Speaker 2: already hindered his capacity to govern.
1:51
Speaker 1: Now the communist rites that quote.
1:53
Speaker 2: That's in part for reasons Biden refuses to accept his
1:58
Speaker 2: capacity to do the job. The oldest president of history
2:01
Speaker 2: when he first took the oath, Biden will not be
2:05
Speaker 2: able to govern a campaign in the manner of previous incumbents.
2:09
Speaker 2: He simply does not have the capacity to do it,
2:12
Speaker 2: and his staff doesn't trust him to even try, as
2:15
Speaker 2: they make clear by blocking him from the press. Biden's
2:21
Speaker 2: bid will give new meaning to a rose Garden campaign,
2:25
Speaker 2: and it requires accommodation to that unavoidable fact of life.
2:29
Speaker 1: That he is now over eighty.
2:31
Speaker 2: Now, Martin provide a solution to Biden's position, such as
2:34
Speaker 2: asking the Clintons to work for him, along with demanding
2:38
Speaker 2: current administration officials become more front facing. Martin denied that
2:42
Speaker 2: former President Barack Obama and formal advisor will pop over
2:46
Speaker 2: from Martha's Vineyard to Nantucket for this Thanksgiving to talk
2:50
Speaker 2: to Joe out of the race saying hey, don't do this,
2:54
Speaker 2: and to bring in Michelle Obama led restoration and a coalition,
2:59
Speaker 2: which is exactly what I've told you I think is
3:01
Speaker 2: going to happen. The governors, the centers, the cabinet secretaries,
3:05
Speaker 2: and the infrastructures are should be the faces of Biden's campaign.
3:10
Speaker 2: The author goes on to say, along with the president
3:14
Speaker 2: and the vice president. So they're putting the president and
3:16
Speaker 2: vice president the very bottom of the campaign. If that's
3:20
Speaker 2: not jacked up, I don't know what is. The message
3:23
Speaker 2: is clear, the Democrats remaining in power. It's not just
3:27
Speaker 2: an eighty two year old at the helm, but also
3:30
Speaker 2: this group team normal when compared to Trump and his
3:34
Speaker 2: star wars bar term two, as.
3:37
Speaker 1: They describe it in the article, now.
3:40
Speaker 2: Confirming Democrats' fears and the reason why we're having this conversation,
3:44
Speaker 2: why these articles are now being written. His recent polling
3:48
Speaker 2: is showing that Biden is sagging. Why because of Bidenomics,
3:51
Speaker 2: because of his sagging economy. That is the number one
3:55
Speaker 2: issue now for voters. It also shows Biden's age is
3:59
Speaker 2: a significant worry, even for Democratic voters who clearly can
4:03
Speaker 2: witness and watch his cognitive decline on a weekly basis.
4:06
Speaker 2: It seems now he can't find his way off a
4:08
Speaker 2: damn stage.
4:10
Speaker 1: Now.
4:10
Speaker 2: Voters also have said this a trust former President Donald
4:15
Speaker 2: Trump over Biden to restore the economy fifty to thirty
4:19
Speaker 2: four percent.
4:20
Speaker 1: That is massive.
4:21
Speaker 2: Forty nine percent of Democrats and Democrat leaning independents are
4:25
Speaker 2: concerned about Biden's age. Almost one in two and fifty
4:30
Speaker 2: one percent of voters said they there was no chance
4:34
Speaker 2: that they would vote for Joe Biden for a second term.
4:37
Speaker 2: That would be the majority of the country. You put
4:40
Speaker 2: all this together, and that spells a massive disaster for
4:46
Speaker 2: the President of the United States.
4:47
Speaker 1: Now, does he understand this? I don't think he actually does.
4:50
Speaker 2: In fact, I think that he has no clue what's
4:53
Speaker 2: actually happening right now and has no idea that this
4:56
Speaker 2: is how bad it is for him to be honest
4:58
Speaker 2: with you. And that's partly because of what was just
5:01
Speaker 2: described there in that story, that his team is doing
5:05
Speaker 2: everything they can to protect the president from this bad news.
5:10
Speaker 2: Now we also are being told this that the people
5:13
Speaker 2: working for the president seem to be pouring out the
5:16
Speaker 2: White House and a level that we haven't seen since
5:20
Speaker 2: Hunter Biden was doing it when his dad was the
5:22
Speaker 2: vice president. They're were talking about the return of TPP.
5:29
Speaker 2: Biden administration officials are now looking at this deal over
5:33
Speaker 2: this Asia trade deal. As he Peeing is visiting the
5:37
Speaker 2: US and going to San Francisco, the Biden administration is
5:41
Speaker 2: quote trying to piece together a trade deal so that
5:44
Speaker 2: it will be good news for his presidency. They want
5:48
Speaker 2: to they called the Indo Pacific Economic Framework for Prosperity
5:52
Speaker 2: or IPEF that might give the US economy a boost
5:56
Speaker 2: before election day without looking like capitulation to China or
6:00
Speaker 2: alienating the labor unions that they desperately need. Now, the
6:04
Speaker 2: process of stitching this deal over the past year has
6:07
Speaker 2: reportedly been awkward and disorganized, so the injur result is
6:12
Speaker 2: unlikely to be a work of beauty, as insiders have
6:15
Speaker 2: described it. The Washington Post put it this way in
6:18
Speaker 2: the Sunday paper, saying the goal is to bind the
6:22
Speaker 2: United States more closely to allies in the region. Is
6:25
Speaker 2: a way to counter the growing influence of China with
6:28
Speaker 2: a trade partnership that could be rolled out at the
6:31
Speaker 2: Asian Pacific Economic Corporation the APEC summit in San Francisco
6:36
Speaker 2: this week, which Zgping will be there for now. The
6:40
Speaker 2: Chinese dictator is going to attend this summit and reportedly
6:43
Speaker 2: plans to meet with President Joe Biden in San Francisco
6:47
Speaker 2: on Wednesday.
6:48
Speaker 1: A red carpet has been.
6:49
Speaker 2: Rolled out for g by the California Governor Gavin Newsom,
6:54
Speaker 2: who just visited g in China. He seems to increasingly
6:59
Speaker 2: view the Chinese tyrant as a mentor and senior partner,
7:03
Speaker 2: positioning himself as even more China friendly than the President
7:07
Speaker 2: is Joe Biden. And after years of insisting nothing could
7:10
Speaker 2: be done about the chronic vagrancy problem, San Francisco made
7:15
Speaker 2: its home with population disappear overnight so the city would
7:20
Speaker 2: look presentable for Ji's arrival. That is something else that
7:24
Speaker 2: is pretty disgusting when you look at it. According to
7:27
Speaker 2: Washington Post sources, the administration's goal, they say, is to
7:30
Speaker 2: put together a trade pack that can hold as a
7:34
Speaker 2: victory against China's growing economic clout and diffuse anticipated campaign
7:39
Speaker 2: attacks from Republicans in the twenty twenty four race, especially
7:43
Speaker 2: former President Trump, who ran effectively against the Transpecific Partnership
7:48
Speaker 2: known as TPP in twenty sixteen and will probably hammer
7:52
Speaker 2: Joe Biden as being way too soft on China, in
7:56
Speaker 2: essence bowing to China if.
7:58
Speaker 1: You really look at the data.
8:00
Speaker 2: Now, the Biden administration, now the president also has a
8:04
Speaker 2: major problem, and that problem is the unions. The Biden
8:08
Speaker 2: administration thought had solved its labor problems by negotiating a
8:12
Speaker 2: new deal that did not include the features that unions
8:17
Speaker 2: found so objectable in twenty sixteen, But in the last
8:21
Speaker 2: few weeks, Biden's team discovered there was still a massive
8:24
Speaker 2: and seemingly in well an in traceable obstacle, namely the
8:29
Speaker 2: push to make developing nations meat American workplace and environmental standards.
8:35
Speaker 2: That's never going to happen in China when you have
8:38
Speaker 2: child labor and forced labor and slave labor over there.
8:42
Speaker 2: Exacerbated Administration officials told The Washington Post it is difficult, difficult,
8:47
Speaker 2: quote to convince poor Asian countries agreed to the kind
8:51
Speaker 2: of worker standards sought by the US labor movement, and
8:54
Speaker 2: that Biden has prided himself on.
8:56
Speaker 1: Championing those standards.
8:59
Speaker 2: According to source, says the administration was warned months ago
9:02
Speaker 2: that many of the nations it is courting for this
9:05
Speaker 2: IPEF are not on board with the extremely expensive labor
9:09
Speaker 2: and environmental standards in vision for the agreement, but decided
9:13
Speaker 2: to move ahead anyway. And again, that's how desperate they
9:17
Speaker 2: are for a win. Let's also talk about these scumbag
9:22
Speaker 2: Chinese Communist Party and their dictator Xi, who's coming to America.
9:27
Speaker 2: You heard me mention a moment ago that the Gavin
9:29
Speaker 2: Newsom is basically being mentored by Gigi Ping, and that's
9:33
Speaker 2: a problem. He is bowed down to him, gone to
9:37
Speaker 2: China and basically said, I'll do whatever you need for me,
9:40
Speaker 2: almost like he's a mini Communists. He's now rolling out
9:43
Speaker 2: the red carpet for g when he comes in for
9:46
Speaker 2: these meetings into San Francisco. Now, San Francisco has a
9:51
Speaker 2: disaster on their hands with homeless population. The city's homeless
9:55
Speaker 2: populations completely out of control, from defecating on the street
10:00
Speaker 2: to needles on the street. It's everything you can imagine,
10:03
Speaker 2: drugs and death, it's everywhere. The governor of California, Governor Newsom,
10:09
Speaker 2: has said there's nothing they can do, but guess what happened.
10:12
Speaker 1: In a matter of days, they cleaned it all up.
10:15
Speaker 1: That's right.
10:15
Speaker 2: San Francisco has instantly displaced their homeless population. Is cleaned
10:21
Speaker 2: up its homelessness in preparation for the visit from the
10:24
Speaker 2: Chinese President Jing that's scheduled this week. The clean up
10:28
Speaker 2: of the city comes after Gavin Newsom visited China last month.
10:31
Speaker 2: The cleanup included a power washing and scrubbing of the
10:34
Speaker 2: city streets and the removal of most of the city's
10:37
Speaker 2: homeless camps altogether. So, in other words, these people that
10:41
Speaker 2: you said, you know, there's nothing we do about, you've
10:43
Speaker 2: all of a sudden done something about them and displaced them.
10:46
Speaker 1: Quote.
10:46
Speaker 2: I know folks are saying, oh, they're just cleaning up
10:49
Speaker 2: this place because of all these fancy leaders are coming
10:51
Speaker 2: to town. Newsom said on Friday. That's true, because it's true,
10:56
Speaker 2: but it's also true for months and months and months
10:58
Speaker 2: before the APEC. We've been having conversations. Give me a break,
11:03
Speaker 2: he said the APC, referring to the Asia Pacific Economic
11:07
Speaker 2: Corporation Summit, which will host and expected twenty thousand CEOs
11:12
Speaker 2: and heads of state in the city this week. The
11:14
Speaker 2: San Francisco Mayor Lenon Breed has argued that the conference
11:18
Speaker 2: will bring in almost fifty three million, which could revitalize
11:22
Speaker 2: the city's economy, they claim in.
11:24
Speaker 1: Just a week, which is also stupid. Quote.
11:26
Speaker 2: Tourism is our business here in San Francisco, and we
11:28
Speaker 2: need to focus on making sure that the tourist dollars
11:32
Speaker 2: still come back. Jeez visits to California comes amid rumblings
11:37
Speaker 2: the Newsom could launch a last minute entry into the
11:39
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four presidential race, as some Democrats have expressed
11:44
Speaker 2: concern the President Joe Biden could not win reelection. Recent
11:48
Speaker 2: poll numbers show that former President Donald Trump would beat
11:51
Speaker 2: Biden in a hypothetical rematch today, though some have speculated
11:56
Speaker 2: that Newsom is running a shadow campaign for twenty twenty four,
12:00
Speaker 2: The California governor has denied his eyes on the White
12:02
Speaker 2: House this year, stating it's time to move on from
12:05
Speaker 2: the speculation of someone besides Biden being the Democratic nominee.
12:09
Speaker 2: And that's exactly what I would say if I was
12:11
Speaker 2: planning to all of a sudden comment the last minute
12:14
Speaker 2: and run against him. Now, this idea that they are
12:17
Speaker 2: now cleaning up San Francisco, not for the people of
12:20
Speaker 2: San Francisco, but for dictators and tyrants who are coming
12:22
Speaker 2: to town or that are coming to town, is honestly
12:25
Speaker 2: incredibly disgusting. But this tells you about Democrats. It's also
12:30
Speaker 2: incredibly inhumane. If these homeless people you've now decided to
12:34
Speaker 2: just uproot them, rip up their tents and take their belongings,
12:38
Speaker 2: throw them in the trash, powerwash the sidewalks, and then say, see,
12:43
Speaker 2: get the hell out.
12:43
Speaker 1: Of here now.
12:44
Speaker 2: How many of them will return after this instead it
12:47
Speaker 2: all up over again, up all over again. I don't know,
12:50
Speaker 2: but it shows you where their hearts are, and it's
12:53
Speaker 2: not with homeless people. I want to tell you about
12:56
Speaker 2: a company that I really want you to check out.
12:59
Speaker 2: For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian
13:02
Speaker 2: conservative wireless provider. And when I say the only one,
13:05
Speaker 2: I mean it. They're the only one. They make a
13:08
Speaker 2: huge difference every time that you pay your bill, because
13:10
Speaker 2: they actually get back to conservative causes and organizations to
13:15
Speaker 2: help you stand up for what you believe in. While
13:18
Speaker 2: you're paying a bill you're going to have anyways. This
13:21
Speaker 2: is the part that I love about Patriot Mobile. They're
13:24
Speaker 2: making a difference. Every time you pay your bill, every
13:27
Speaker 2: time you make a phone call, every time that you
13:31
Speaker 2: send a text message, Patriot Mobile actually gives money back
13:35
Speaker 2: to protect First and Second Amendment rights, to protect the
13:39
Speaker 2: lives of unborn children. And that's what they're doing right
13:42
Speaker 2: now is they celebrate their tenth anniversary. If you switch
13:46
Speaker 2: right now to Patriot Mobile, they are going to give
13:48
Speaker 2: a donation to help protect life and to help mothers
13:53
Speaker 2: choose life to an organization that does everything they can
13:57
Speaker 2: to protect the lives of unborn children. Then every month
14:01
Speaker 2: when you pay your bill, they're going to continue to
14:03
Speaker 2: support the causes that I just mentioned. And this is
14:06
Speaker 2: exactly why you need to make the switch. If you're
14:10
Speaker 2: tired of woke companies, switch your cell phone to Patriot Mobile.
14:15
Speaker 2: Whether you are a business, a small business, or just
14:18
Speaker 2: a family, you can switch and they make switching easy.
14:22
Speaker 2: They have a one hundred percent US based call center
14:24
Speaker 2: making switching extremely easy. You're going to get nationwide coverage,
14:28
Speaker 2: unlimited talking texts, and usually save real money on your bill.
14:32
Speaker 2: Nine seven to two Patriot. It's nine seven to two Patriot,
14:36
Speaker 2: nine seven to two Patriot. Or go online to Patriot
14:40
Speaker 2: Mobile dot com slash ben that's Patriot Mobile dot com
14:44
Speaker 2: slash ben or nine seven to two Patriot. There's also
14:48
Speaker 2: another problem that's happening right now, and the White House
14:53
Speaker 2: is now having to answer questions about this because now
14:56
Speaker 2: this is the Democratic Party in general. Take a listen
14:59
Speaker 2: to what said at the White House by Jake Sullivan.
15:02
Speaker 1: I forget you since said of the clean up this.
15:05
Speaker 3: I know folks are saying, oh, they're just cleaning up
15:07
Speaker 3: this place because all those fancy.
15:09
Speaker 1: Leaders are coming to town. That's true. As President Biden agree,
15:12
Speaker 1: it's more important to.
15:13
Speaker 3: Impress the leader of China than the American people that
15:17
Speaker 3: live in San Francisco and pay taxes every day.
15:19
Speaker 4: First, I completely reject the premise to your question. But secondly,
15:22
Speaker 4: I don't know what the context of what Governor Newsom said,
15:25
Speaker 4: so I won't respond to it.
15:28
Speaker 2: I won't respond to it. First, I completely reject the
15:31
Speaker 2: premise of your question. How can you reject the premise
15:34
Speaker 2: of that question when that's literally what the governor stated
15:37
Speaker 2: and what the governor said, How.
15:39
Speaker 1: Can you say that, oh, I reject the question.
15:41
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? This is your White House? This
15:44
Speaker 2: is how transparent they are? Or maybe I should say
15:47
Speaker 2: how transparent they are aren't when when it comes to
15:51
Speaker 2: issues like this. Now, there's also another problem at the
15:55
Speaker 2: White House, and it deals with the hostage situation that's
15:59
Speaker 2: taking place in God's at the hands of the hamas Terras.
16:04
Speaker 2: The White House was asked about the Americans that are
16:07
Speaker 2: still being held and asked basic questions like are they
16:11
Speaker 2: still alive? I want you to imagine being a family
16:14
Speaker 2: member of an American that's missing, and I want you
16:16
Speaker 2: to imagine that this is all the White House is
16:18
Speaker 2: now giving you.
16:19
Speaker 3: Do you have any proof of life on hostages, especially
16:22
Speaker 3: the Americans in the negotiations that have been going on,
16:25
Speaker 3: Has there been anything that could reassure the negotiators. The
16:29
Speaker 3: President knew that hostages remain alive and potentially could be.
16:34
Speaker 4: Rescued, So we have been very transparent about the fact
16:37
Speaker 4: that we have limited visibility into both the whereabouts of
16:42
Speaker 4: the hostages within Gaza and their condition. And I said
16:45
Speaker 4: as recently as yesterday that we have nine missing Americans,
16:48
Speaker 4: one missing Green card holder, and I cannot look in
16:51
Speaker 4: the eye and tell you how many of those hostages
16:53
Speaker 4: are still alive.
16:55
Speaker 1: Isn't that encouraging?
16:57
Speaker 2: I love how they want an accolade like we've been
16:59
Speaker 2: very transparent about the fact that we have limited visibility.
17:02
Speaker 1: So we're the most powerful country in the world.
17:04
Speaker 2: And what you're basically saying is you're flying by and
17:06
Speaker 2: you have no idea what's going on with these hostages.
17:09
Speaker 2: You're telling me that you can't give more information than
17:12
Speaker 2: that you don't know if they're alive, you don't know
17:13
Speaker 2: if they're dead, you don't know if there's even proof
17:16
Speaker 2: of life. And then you want us to give you
17:19
Speaker 2: credit for you being quote transparent about it. Are you
17:22
Speaker 2: kidding me? That's the White House and their message. Now,
17:28
Speaker 2: let's also talk about Scott Kirby at the White House.
17:33
Speaker 2: US airstrikes kill a uranium backed fighters in Syria. That's
17:39
Speaker 2: great news. But there is the other part of this
17:43
Speaker 2: conversation that also deals with the hostages.
17:48
Speaker 5: Listen, So I think the nation to some degree is
17:50
Speaker 5: wondering what is President Biden waiting for is he waiting
17:53
Speaker 5: for Americans to be killed before he takes substance of
17:56
Speaker 5: action that will actually gave Iran pause bet telling its
18:00
Speaker 5: proxies to keep harassing us.
18:02
Speaker 6: All right, waiting for anything, John, as you just all
18:05
Speaker 6: over the weekend. We're certainly willing and able to take
18:07
Speaker 6: your child tory strikes to protect our troops and our facilities,
18:10
Speaker 6: and we'll continue to do that. These groups and the
18:13
Speaker 6: IRGC is Supreme leader, they have a choice to make.
18:16
Speaker 6: We're not looking to escalate, but if they continue to
18:18
Speaker 6: attack our troops, if they continue to put their lives
18:20
Speaker 6: in danger, we'll continue to take action and do what
18:22
Speaker 6: we have to do to protect that. Nobody's looking for
18:25
Speaker 6: a conflict here. Nobody's looking for a war with Iran.
18:29
Speaker 6: But we absolutely have a viable mission in Iraq and
18:31
Speaker 6: Syria to go after ISIS, which is still a viable
18:34
Speaker 6: breat and we got to make sure that we have
18:36
Speaker 6: the troops and the capabilities to do that, which means
18:39
Speaker 6: they need to know that we're going to do what
18:40
Speaker 6: we have to do to protect them.
18:42
Speaker 2: That's your White House again, and that's on Americans that
18:46
Speaker 2: are in uniform. The way the question was asked, which
18:49
Speaker 2: is absolutely right. So what are we doing here? Do
18:52
Speaker 2: they have to kill an American before we respond with
18:55
Speaker 2: the full wrath of the US government?
18:58
Speaker 1: Is that now how this works? How we do things like.
19:01
Speaker 2: Hey, we don't kill anybody until you kill one of us, right,
19:05
Speaker 2: I know you've tried forty plus times, you've injured a
19:08
Speaker 2: lot of us, But no, no, we're gonna make it where
19:09
Speaker 2: you got to kill him first. Really like, like, that's
19:12
Speaker 2: now where we are. If that's what we are doing
19:16
Speaker 2: to protect American men and women in uniform, then imagine
19:20
Speaker 2: being a hostage. Imagine you're a family member of a
19:25
Speaker 2: hostage and you're saying that they're hell, they're not even
19:29
Speaker 2: protecting their soldiers. And then their response is this canned
19:34
Speaker 2: BS response that you just heard there. Well, you know
19:38
Speaker 2: it's it's it's it's kind of you know, well, it's
19:41
Speaker 2: you know, Biden's doing what he can here. The question
19:45
Speaker 2: that came from John Roberts, is Biden waiting for Americans
19:48
Speaker 2: to be killed before he takes up to some action
19:50
Speaker 2: that will actually give a rano pause because they're not
19:53
Speaker 2: stopping the attacks. I want you to understand that on
19:56
Speaker 2: Americans are in and around the Middle East, like when
19:59
Speaker 2: they're attacking our bases or attacking American soldiers, they're trying
20:02
Speaker 2: to kill them. We've just been really good so far
20:05
Speaker 2: of not dying, right, We've been really good at surviving
20:09
Speaker 2: these attacks.
20:09
Speaker 1: At some point that will change.
20:12
Speaker 2: And when it does change, is that then when the
20:14
Speaker 2: President says, Okay, now I'm really mad, Like you've been
20:17
Speaker 2: trying to kill us for months, but you did it finally,
20:20
Speaker 2: you were successful.
20:21
Speaker 1: Now I'm really angry.
20:23
Speaker 2: There's also something else that's really interesting, and that is
20:27
Speaker 2: when you have a lack of leadership on these types
20:31
Speaker 2: of issues, when you're dealing, for example, with the attack
20:33
Speaker 2: of American soldiers in the Middle East, and you not
20:36
Speaker 2: responding in the way that you should, heavy handed, waiting
20:39
Speaker 2: in essence for an American to die, then you hit
20:41
Speaker 2: ran hard right until then, we're not doing anything close
20:45
Speaker 2: to that.
20:46
Speaker 1: That's just one example.
20:48
Speaker 2: But the lack of leadership has the DC establishment terrified
20:52
Speaker 2: that RFK could come in and actually win with Democratic voters.
20:58
Speaker 2: That's something that they're very, very concerned about. CNN, for example,
21:03
Speaker 2: had a article that they had written over the weekend
21:06
Speaker 2: said how RFK Junior could change the outcome of the
21:08
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four election. Now one of the reasons why
21:13
Speaker 2: Democrats like him and many undecideds are middle of the
21:16
Speaker 2: road or you know, not necessarily Republican or Democratic voters
21:20
Speaker 2: like RFK juniors.
21:21
Speaker 1: Because of the.
21:22
Speaker 2: Video that went viral that he put out with his
21:26
Speaker 2: message about sending American troops around the world with Veterans Day,
21:30
Speaker 2: I want you to hear what he had to say.
21:32
Speaker 2: And this is certainly a populous mentality, but listen to
21:36
Speaker 2: how he describes what he believes should be our foreign policy.
21:41
Speaker 2: And you compare it to Joe Biden's right now with Israel,
21:45
Speaker 2: with Amas, with a Ran, with what's happening in China,
21:48
Speaker 2: with what's happing in Russian and Ukraine.
21:50
Speaker 1: It's one to eighty from him, everyone.
21:52
Speaker 7: I'd like to take a few moments on this Veterans Day.
21:55
Speaker 7: I'll offer some words to America's veterans, and I want
21:58
Speaker 7: to go beyond merely thanking you for your service to
22:02
Speaker 7: our country and tell you how I will actually honor
22:05
Speaker 7: your service and draw from your knowledge and experience in
22:09
Speaker 7: my administration. After Vietnam, the nature of our military changed
22:14
Speaker 7: dramatically and it became an all volunteer force. Most of
22:18
Speaker 7: you volunteered out of patriotism and idealism, and three quarters
22:22
Speaker 7: of you deployed more than once. You may not have
22:25
Speaker 7: agreed with all the policies that launched those wars that
22:28
Speaker 7: you served in, or maybe your views changed in the
22:31
Speaker 7: course of your service, but that impulsive sacrifice and selflessness
22:37
Speaker 7: and dedication is what we need to draw on today
22:40
Speaker 7: to turn our country around to fulfill its highest ideals.
22:45
Speaker 7: One of those ideals is of America the peaceful. More
22:48
Speaker 7: than two hundred years ago, John Quincy Adams, in America
22:51
Speaker 7: goes not abroad in search of monsters to destroy. But
22:55
Speaker 7: unfortunately that is no longer true. I know that you
22:58
Speaker 7: did not join the armed forces the visit violence in
23:01
Speaker 7: Mayhem around the world, but our nations foreign policy establishment
23:05
Speaker 7: of the military industrial complex has waged many questionable wars
23:10
Speaker 7: and has created global empire that generates endless crops of
23:15
Speaker 7: new enemies. Sometimes your patriotism and bravery have been exploited
23:21
Speaker 7: to serve goals contrary to our country's family principle and
23:25
Speaker 7: your own values. When I'm in the White House, I'm
23:29
Speaker 7: going to return our military to its true function, which
23:32
Speaker 7: is to defend the American homeland. I won't send you
23:35
Speaker 7: abroad for regime change wars or oil wars. I will
23:39
Speaker 7: unwind the sprawling military empire that has deployed so many
23:43
Speaker 7: of you needless and gradually shutter most of the eight
23:48
Speaker 7: hundred American bases around the world. To do that, I
23:52
Speaker 7: need your help, and that is why I'm going to
23:55
Speaker 7: convene a permanent Veterans Advisory councilor with a seat on
23:59
Speaker 7: the nationals in use already jaunts, so that veterans have
24:02
Speaker 7: a say in future decisions about war and peace. You
24:07
Speaker 7: have sacrificed the most are among the best qualified to
24:11
Speaker 7: guide us, and I will also draw on your experience
24:14
Speaker 7: to help you root out corruption defense industry and to
24:18
Speaker 7: make our military into a lean, efficient fighting force. Also,
24:23
Speaker 7: the Veterans Advisory Council will help me deliver the veterans'
24:27
Speaker 7: benefits that you deserve, to look out for your interest
24:31
Speaker 7: and to prioritize the healing the physical and psychological means
24:37
Speaker 7: that many of you received and still suffer. With your
24:42
Speaker 7: help on be a peace president. You know better than
24:45
Speaker 7: anyone else the toll of war on both winners and losers,
24:49
Speaker 7: and I promise you I'm going to do everything in
24:51
Speaker 7: my power as president to keep us out of war
24:54
Speaker 7: except as a last resort and only in defense for
24:59
Speaker 7: name on our national security interest. Thank you very much.
25:04
Speaker 7: I have a very very happy and blessed Veterans Day,
25:08
Speaker 7: and God bless all.
25:10
Speaker 2: Now those are the videos and the audio that's being
25:14
Speaker 2: put out by Kennedy that has so many Democrats concerned
25:18
Speaker 2: that he could destroy their chances of winning re election
25:22
Speaker 2: if he pulls enough of votes from them. Republicans, by
25:26
Speaker 2: the way, should also be as concerned, because there's a
25:30
Speaker 2: very good chance that he could pull the other way
25:32
Speaker 2: as well. Now, I want to go back to the
25:35
Speaker 2: CNN article because I want you to know what the
25:37
Speaker 2: enemy's writing. They said, quote, there are a few things
25:39
Speaker 2: that can be more certain in life than a Democrat
25:41
Speaker 2: or Republican winning a US president election. We don't usually
25:45
Speaker 2: do third parties or independence in this country. Chances are
25:49
Speaker 2: Democrat Joe Biden or Republican Donald Trump will be elected
25:54
Speaker 2: a year from now. But it would be foolish to
25:57
Speaker 2: diminish this current poll. What the current polls are telling us,
26:02
Speaker 2: independent RFK Junior is pulling higher than any independent third
26:06
Speaker 2: party tendant in a generation, he, along with other non
26:09
Speaker 2: major party tendants, has a real chance to affect the
26:13
Speaker 2: outcome keyword effect the outcome of the twenty twenty four election.
26:18
Speaker 2: Take a look at a recent Quinnipiac University poll, Kenny
26:21
Speaker 2: hit twenty two percent among registered voters. Now the author
26:26
Speaker 2: said that struck him as being very high. He then says,
26:29
Speaker 2: so I went into the polling vault. The last independent
26:34
Speaker 2: presidential candidate to earn over twenty percent support in a
26:37
Speaker 2: poll within a year of the election was Ross Pererow
26:39
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety two. He ended up getting nineteen percent
26:42
Speaker 2: of the popular vote. Pirot is a bit of an
26:45
Speaker 2: exception in that independent or third party candidates usually fade
26:50
Speaker 2: as the election nears. John Anderson was pulling above twenty
26:54
Speaker 2: percent during the nineteen eighty campaign before pulling in just
26:57
Speaker 2: seven percent in November nineteen sixty eight. Former Alabama Governor
27:02
Speaker 2: George Wallace topped out at twenty one percent in pre
27:05
Speaker 2: election polls as a third party candidate, before picking up
27:09
Speaker 2: fourteen percent when the actual votes were cast.
27:12
Speaker 1: The amazing thing, though, is that.
27:13
Speaker 2: These three have been the only non major party candidates
27:18
Speaker 2: in the history of polling to hit more than twenty
27:20
Speaker 2: percent within a year of the election. Kennedy is now
27:23
Speaker 2: a part of this select group. Moreover, those three prior
27:29
Speaker 2: candidates ended up getting above five percent, if not ten percent,
27:33
Speaker 2: in the final outcome. We don't know where Kennedy will
27:37
Speaker 2: end up, obviously, However, his numbers in swing states should
27:40
Speaker 2: be turning heads. According to New York Times, Kennedy was
27:44
Speaker 2: in the high teens to upwards of twenty five percent
27:47
Speaker 2: in the six close to states that Biden won in
27:50
Speaker 2: twenty twenty over Donald Trump. That list Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nevada,
27:58
Speaker 2: and Michigan. The Times notable, of course, because they sent
28:02
Speaker 2: some Democrats into a tizzy and some Republicans into euphoria.
28:07
Speaker 1: Earlier this week. Trump came in with a higher share
28:11
Speaker 1: of the vote.
28:11
Speaker 2: Than Biden in these five of these six states among
28:15
Speaker 2: registered voters, and in four of them among likely voters.
28:19
Speaker 2: That's not good news for Democrats. If the final results
28:23
Speaker 2: matched those polls, Trump would win the election, and it
28:26
Speaker 2: would be a big win. But when Kennedy was introduced
28:29
Speaker 2: as an option among likely voters, Trump was ahead of
28:32
Speaker 2: Biden in only two states. So again, if you're celebrating,
28:37
Speaker 2: stop and listen. I'm going to say that again. When
28:41
Speaker 2: Kennedy was introduced as an option among likely voters, Trump
28:44
Speaker 2: was ahead of Biden only two states, Georgia and Nevada.
28:48
Speaker 2: His five point leads in Arizona and Pennsylvania disappeared into ties.
28:52
Speaker 2: Biden held a well within the margin of era edge
28:55
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania, while the two were tied in Michigan.
28:59
Speaker 1: What is this, Dean?
29:00
Speaker 2: Don't think that RFK Junior is a good thing for Republicans.
29:06
Speaker 2: It may actually cost us the election. CNN writes it
29:10
Speaker 2: this way. To put another way, a clear Trump polling
29:13
Speaker 2: lead became a jumbled mess with no clear favorite to
29:16
Speaker 2: win the electoral College thanks to Kennedy if he stays in.
29:21
Speaker 2: Both Biden thirty four percent and Trump thirty six percent
29:24
Speaker 2: were south of the forty percent in an aggregate across
29:28
Speaker 2: the six states.
29:29
Speaker 1: The fact that an independent candidate.
29:32
Speaker 2: Could take such a large chunk of the votes shouldn't
29:34
Speaker 2: be surprising. Both Biden and Trump's unfavorability ratings were in
29:38
Speaker 2: the high fifties in the Times poll.
29:42
Speaker 1: They're tied with Democrat Hillary Clinton and Trump.
29:44
Speaker 2: In twenty sixteen, as the two least liked front runners
29:48
Speaker 2: for their party's nomination in polling history. Given all that,
29:54
Speaker 2: it's no surprise we're seeing other independent and third party
29:57
Speaker 2: candidates jumping or potentially jumping into the twenty twenty four race.
30:03
Speaker 2: This is exactly why we need to be watching very closely.
30:09
Speaker 2: We need to be watching extremely closely what's going on
30:14
Speaker 2: with RFK Junior and reminding people just how extreme of
30:19
Speaker 2: a liberal he actually is. He can dress up and
30:22
Speaker 2: act like he's not, but if you look at his
30:25
Speaker 2: policies and look at what he has said. For example,
30:28
Speaker 2: RFK Junior has said, listen carefully. He has said, okay,
30:33
Speaker 2: that he thinks that those that don't believe in climate
30:35
Speaker 2: change should be put in jail.
30:37
Speaker 1: Does that sound like a conservative ideal? Of course not.
