NBC NEWS implies that DR. JILL BIDEN is basically the President & running the country! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: You've probably been asking yourself the same question I have, right,
0:03
Speaker 1: which is who's running the country, Because clearly it's not
0:06
Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America. Joe Biden.
0:08
Speaker 1: You can't even find his way off of a stage.
0:11
Speaker 1: Who actually seemed to fall asleep during an interview, a
0:15
Speaker 1: conversation that has now gone viral. But it keeps happening
0:20
Speaker 1: more often. You keep seeing him completely lose his train
0:23
Speaker 1: of thought. You keep seeing him not being able to
0:26
Speaker 1: figure out how to get off the stage. It happened
0:28
Speaker 1: again over the weekend as the First Lady had to
0:31
Speaker 1: direct him and tell him where to get off of
0:34
Speaker 1: the stage, like he was locked in some sort of
0:37
Speaker 1: corn maze. This is obviously not good for the country.
0:42
Speaker 1: But the question is who's running the country? Now? We
0:45
Speaker 1: know apparently it is the First Lady NBC News reporting
0:52
Speaker 1: and they're calling it this She is the decider. Jill Biden,
0:58
Speaker 1: doctor Joe Biden, an MD, Right, but you know, let's
1:01
Speaker 1: just make her sound like one anyway, has quote unparalleled
1:06
Speaker 1: influence an impact on the president. In an interview with
1:11
Speaker 1: NBC News, Joe Biden discussed the family's future and whether
1:16
Speaker 1: she will allow Joe Biden to run again. Now, this
1:21
Speaker 1: is a very weird conversation and an admission from NBC
1:25
Speaker 1: News that Joe Biden is in charge. In fact, what
1:28
Speaker 1: it looks like after her conversation with NBC News is
1:32
Speaker 1: they're all admitting she's actually the president of the United
1:36
Speaker 1: States of America. Now they're framing this as well, it's
1:40
Speaker 1: just the First Lady's impact. Now, Joe Biden is elected
1:44
Speaker 1: by no one, but apparently she's calling the shots. Take
1:48
Speaker 1: a listen to NBC News reporting on this interview with
1:52
Speaker 1: NBC News, the First Lady, Doctor Joe Biden makes it
1:54
Speaker 1: clear that she has a unique influence on the decision
1:57
Speaker 1: her husband makes inside the White House, including his decision
2:01
Speaker 1: on a potential reelection campaign for twenty twenty four. Just
2:05
Speaker 1: think about that opening statement, and they're saying this, she's
2:10
Speaker 1: in charge. She's the one that makes the decisions, not
2:14
Speaker 1: just the day to day decisions, but also whether he's
2:17
Speaker 1: going to run for the presidency again. That is not normal,
2:21
Speaker 1: all right, That's just not It's not normal for the
2:24
Speaker 1: first Lady to be the one in charge. It's normal
2:27
Speaker 1: for the President of the United States America to be
2:30
Speaker 1: in charge. Now, I also want to be clear, I'm
2:32
Speaker 1: not saying that you wouldn't talk to the First Lady
2:35
Speaker 1: about certain things like, Hey, is this good for family? Hey?
2:37
Speaker 1: Should we run again? Those are normal family conversation, husband
2:41
Speaker 1: and wife conversations that, yes, are definitely important. That's not
2:45
Speaker 1: what NBC News is saying. What they're saying is she's
2:48
Speaker 1: the one that's dictating what's happening, and she's the one
2:51
Speaker 1: that is dictating the schedule. In fact, she's the one
2:54
Speaker 1: that's deciding on almost every single thing at the White House.
2:58
Speaker 1: NBC News White House correspondently joins us now for details
3:01
Speaker 1: from that interview. Mike, it's good to see you this Friday.
3:03
Speaker 1: First off, just give us the big picture here, I mean,
3:05
Speaker 1: what kind of influence does the First Lady have and
3:08
Speaker 1: what are some of the key things she has advised
3:10
Speaker 1: her husband on. Well, Morgan, as we say in this piece,
3:13
Speaker 1: there really has never been a First Lady quite like
3:16
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Part of that is because yes, she holds
3:19
Speaker 1: a full time job. She's still a community college professor,
3:22
Speaker 1: and that really speaks to really the heart of the
3:23
Speaker 1: influence she has over her husband. We've seen this with
3:26
Speaker 1: presidents in the past. One of the real difficult adjustments
3:29
Speaker 1: to becoming president is losing sort of touch with everyday Americans.
3:33
Speaker 1: Joe Biden in particular, has always prided himself on that well.
3:36
Speaker 1: Jill Biden is really the administration's bubble piercer. She's able
3:39
Speaker 1: to travel more oft into more places, and as she
3:42
Speaker 1: told us in this interview, she really brings back stories
3:44
Speaker 1: to her husband that have really translated into tangible achievements
3:49
Speaker 1: and accomplishments and policy ideas on the part of the administration.
3:51
Speaker 1: That includes the choice, for instance, of another teacher to
3:54
Speaker 1: be Education Secretary, even political ideas like kind of teaserts
3:58
Speaker 1: the NC should be putting out there for supporters. Now,
4:01
Speaker 1: has one long time Biden advisor put it to me,
4:03
Speaker 1: we're all advisors. The president has a lot of advisors.
4:06
Speaker 1: She's a real partner though, And there isn't a single
4:09
Speaker 1: decision he makes that he doesn't want her input on.
4:11
Speaker 1: There isn't a single decision that he makes as the
4:14
Speaker 1: president United States America that she's not involved in. That's
4:18
Speaker 1: what they just said on NBC News. So if we
4:21
Speaker 1: go to war, she the one deciding it. If we
4:24
Speaker 1: go and beg for oil from the Saudis, Is she
4:26
Speaker 1: the one that's making that decision if we decide to
4:29
Speaker 1: do anything in this country, if he decides it or
4:32
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, is she the one that can say
4:35
Speaker 1: yes or no to it. In fact, the bigger question
4:38
Speaker 1: is who is everybody negotiating with. Is it more important
4:41
Speaker 1: to have a meeting with Joe Biden than it is
4:43
Speaker 1: to have a meeting with the President of the United
4:45
Speaker 1: States of America. Based on what NBC News said, the
4:48
Speaker 1: most powerful woman are The most powerful person at the
4:51
Speaker 1: White House is not the president. It is a woman
4:55
Speaker 1: elected by no one. It is the first Lady who
4:58
Speaker 1: is the de facto lea of the United States of America.
5:02
Speaker 1: And before I get into the second part of this interview,
5:04
Speaker 1: I want to remind you about our good friends over
5:05
Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile. If you've got a cell phone, you
5:09
Speaker 1: need to switch to Patriot Mobile because they are America's
5:12
Speaker 1: only Christian conservative mobile phone provider and they use the
5:17
Speaker 1: same towers that you're using right now. Why do you
5:20
Speaker 1: want to switch? Because they are a force for conservative values.
5:24
Speaker 1: They take a portion of your bill every month at
5:27
Speaker 1: no extra cost to you, and they use that money
5:30
Speaker 1: to fund conservative causes, to back conservative candidates. Who believe
5:35
Speaker 1: in the sanctity of life, freedom of speech, the Second Amendment,
5:39
Speaker 1: and they are winning big time. Patriot Mobile will save
5:43
Speaker 1: you money as well over what you're spending right now.
5:46
Speaker 1: They have affordable plans for not only you, but your
5:49
Speaker 1: family and even your businesses. And they offer the same
5:53
Speaker 1: exact nationwide coverage as the major carriers. If you're using
5:58
Speaker 1: your phone every day, why not make a difference with
6:01
Speaker 1: every phone call? Switch to Patriot Mobile that support our
6:05
Speaker 1: conservative values. Go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson, Patriot

Speaker 1: seven to Patriot. That's nine seven to Patriot. You'll get

Speaker 1: free activation with the offer code ben that's free activation
6:23
Speaker 1: plus special discounts free activation Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson
6:28
Speaker 1: or nine seven two Patriot. Now, let me get back
6:32
Speaker 1: to this audio and again listen to how they expand
6:35
Speaker 1: on her influence, acting like it's totally normal that the
6:38
Speaker 1: first lady would be running the country and specifically Mike,
6:42
Speaker 1: I mean, what did doctor Biden say about her husband
6:44
Speaker 1: running for reelection in twenty twenty four? Well, I know
6:47
Speaker 1: that the key to whatever this president is going to
6:49
Speaker 1: decide to do about his political future is the view
6:52
Speaker 1: of the First Lady, And there's been some sense maybe
6:54
Speaker 1: that she is again, this is not normal. I just
6:58
Speaker 1: want to point it out. This NBC News White House
7:01
Speaker 1: correspondent just said that she's key to everything, including if
7:04
Speaker 1: he's going to run or not. She's the one, I
7:06
Speaker 1: guess that's going to decide if he's going to be
7:08
Speaker 1: the president. And the part that is the most concerning
7:12
Speaker 1: for me with this part of the conversation is the
7:15
Speaker 1: fact that she's basically going to decide can she still
7:17
Speaker 1: run the country? Right? They're she's not deciding if her
7:21
Speaker 1: husband can run the country. He's clearly not running the
7:23
Speaker 1: country right now, right. I mean, that's obvious. But she's
7:29
Speaker 1: going to sit around, I guess, with her advisors and say, Okay,
7:32
Speaker 1: can I continue to run the country on behalf of
7:35
Speaker 1: my president my husband for the next four years. That's
7:42
Speaker 1: what she's deciding, not the president, that's what she is deciding.
7:48
Speaker 1: That is not normal idea of leaving after one term.
7:53
Speaker 1: That wasn't our takeaway from the interview. Now, for the
7:55
Speaker 1: First Lady is very mindful of the legal trip wires
7:58
Speaker 1: for the Federal Election Commission. So she said simply that
8:01
Speaker 1: she thinks there's no one more qualified to lead the
8:04
Speaker 1: government at this moment. A senior advisor. Though importantly to
8:07
Speaker 1: telling my colleagues and I that doctor Biden and the
8:11
Speaker 1: family are fully on board with the idea of a
8:13
Speaker 1: reelection campaign. That's significant. But obviously there's still some time
8:17
Speaker 1: after the midterms where they're going to sit down as
8:19
Speaker 1: a family and make that decision together. I'm not even
8:21
Speaker 1: sure Joe Biden will be at that meeting, based on
8:23
Speaker 1: the way they're having this conversation, right, it's probably James Biden, right,
8:28
Speaker 1: how much money can we make? How much money do
8:31
Speaker 1: we lose if he's out of power? So how do
8:33
Speaker 1: we fix that? That's right, that's just how this works.
8:37
Speaker 1: How much money can we whore out? I'm sure Hunter
8:41
Speaker 1: Biden will also be involved in that conversation, and Hunter
8:45
Speaker 1: Biden will be sitting there going, hey, let's go another round.
8:48
Speaker 1: I need some cash here. I can't sell art forever
8:50
Speaker 1: to people that are paying bribes. I gotta got we
8:54
Speaker 1: need some more cash. We need some more money. We
8:56
Speaker 1: gotta keep moving, we gotta keep doing this, Come on now, right,
8:59
Speaker 1: That's what this really is. It's a money making scheme.
9:05
Speaker 1: Do you shut down the family business? Do we have
9:08
Speaker 1: enough money to shut down the business? Because the gaffs
9:12
Speaker 1: are coming quickly, folks. I'm not trying to be mean here,
9:17
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be a jerk, but the truth
9:19
Speaker 1: is you have now not just gaps over the last
9:23
Speaker 1: you over its presidency. We now have gaffs and lies
9:27
Speaker 1: and stupid statements that are happening in the last thirty days.
9:31
Speaker 1: How bad has it gotten? President Joe Biden is often cavalier.
9:35
Speaker 1: One article reads this week with his words been the
9:38
Speaker 1: last thirty days, He's made a large number of gaps, falsehoods,
9:41
Speaker 1: and goofy statements. Biden's off statements include comments about nuclear war,
9:48
Speaker 1: family history that wasn't true, number counting, and falsely stating
9:53
Speaker 1: a woman has been president of the United States of America,
9:57
Speaker 1: which has never happened. Actually, he probably is saying no, no,
9:59
Speaker 1: it is happening because my wife is basically the president
10:03
Speaker 1: of the United States of America right now based on
10:05
Speaker 1: NBC reporting. I want to go back to this article
10:09
Speaker 1: that was a very interesting and eye opening article about
10:11
Speaker 1: how bad the president is faltering right now. Recent polling
10:15
Speaker 1: shows fifty six percent of Americans believe that Biden is
10:20
Speaker 1: mentally sharp enough to be president. That's up two points
10:23
Speaker 1: since February. Why is that happening? Because, of course Democrats
10:29
Speaker 1: are pulling him off the stage more often, and the
10:32
Speaker 1: first lady is stepping in more often. Biden also falsely
10:36
Speaker 1: claimed that his son died in Iraq. Biden did not
10:40
Speaker 1: tell the truth about how his son died. He told
10:42
Speaker 1: an audience in Colorado in October that his late son
10:46
Speaker 1: Bo lost his life in Iraq. Bo actually died from cancer.
10:49
Speaker 1: Will to Read National Medical Center in Maryland in twenty fifteen.
10:53
Speaker 1: That was a weird, awkward moment. And I'm not ripping
10:55
Speaker 1: on him for that, but that just tells you something.
10:58
Speaker 1: Another shocking gap was when Joe Biden incorrectly counts three words.
11:04
Speaker 1: He started off a campaign event and a Volvo Group
11:07
Speaker 1: power train facility in Maryland, saying, let me start off, well,
11:12
Speaker 1: you know what, let me just let you hear it.
11:14
Speaker 1: Let me start made in America map is hard, right,
11:20
Speaker 1: let me start off with two words, made America, mister president,
11:23
Speaker 1: that's three words, but we'll move on. Biden incorrectly also
11:27
Speaker 1: spelled a website. This last week, Biden tried to direct
11:32
Speaker 1: the public to report fraud dot t FC dot gov.
11:37
Speaker 1: Wait then it's FTC dot gov. Wait is it FTC
11:40
Speaker 1: dot gov dot something? We don't know. What we do
11:44
Speaker 1: know is that the dot was spelled out in all
11:47
Speaker 1: capital letters. That's what screwed him up was him spelling
11:53
Speaker 1: the word dot d O t cant get calls If
11:57
Speaker 1: you do this and we'll pay that, you can get
11:59
Speaker 1: relea that's fraud. If you get any questionable calls, please
12:05
Speaker 1: tell us by going to report fraud, report fraud dot
12:11
Speaker 1: FTC dot gov. My message to frauds who is looking
12:16
Speaker 1: to chief the American people as don't do it. We're
12:19
Speaker 1: gonna hold you accountable. So make sure you go to
12:22
Speaker 1: that dot website because that's normal for the present to
12:26
Speaker 1: read it that way on a massive screen. Now, some
12:30
Speaker 1: of these I can't even play for you because you
12:32
Speaker 1: need to see them. But he's gotten lost on stage
12:34
Speaker 1: not once, not twice now, but three times in the
12:36
Speaker 1: last thirty days where he doesn't know where to go.
12:40
Speaker 1: Biden also had another major screw up on September twenty eighth,
12:43
Speaker 1: when he spoke at the White House Conference on hunger,
12:46
Speaker 1: nutrition and help. While highlighting certain congressional members. During his speech,
12:50
Speaker 1: Biden ass where is a dead congresswoman? A dead congresswoman
12:56
Speaker 1: from Idaho, Jackie? Are you here? Where's Jackie? I think
13:00
Speaker 1: she wasn't going to be here? To help me make
13:02
Speaker 1: this a reality, Biden went on to say, she passed
13:05
Speaker 1: away in a car crash two months earlier. The President
13:08
Speaker 1: knew about that, but hey, it's normal to ask where
13:11
Speaker 1: a dead person is. As the President decided, you know,
13:14
Speaker 1: well why not, let's just give it a shot. I
13:17
Speaker 1: want to thank all of you here from including bipartisan
13:20
Speaker 1: elect officials like Representative Government, Senator Braun, Senator Booker, Representative Jackie.
13:27
Speaker 1: Are you here? Where's Jackie? I didn't think she was
13:30
Speaker 1: want to be here? Again, he knew that she was dead.
13:35
Speaker 1: They even had part of the presentation about her dying
13:38
Speaker 1: and how her legacy would live on the President's asking
13:42
Speaker 1: where's Jackie. Now, this all goes back to the NBCA reporting.
13:45
Speaker 1: They're saying this guy's not running the country, and I
13:48
Speaker 1: believe them. By the way, I do believe it's the
13:50
Speaker 1: first lady. She's not a first lady. She is the
13:52
Speaker 1: president of the United States. Of America. Biden also screwed
13:55
Speaker 1: up in the last thirty days, thinking first responders and
13:59
Speaker 1: a congresswoman and saying, quote, I wanted to applaud the
14:01
Speaker 1: Red Cross volunteers who came as from as far away
14:07
Speaker 1: as California, Louisiana, Minnesota, Texas to help whoever they can.
14:11
Speaker 1: New York sent not only a congresswoman, one of the
14:14
Speaker 1: most congresswoman in Congress. That's an exact quote, one of
14:18
Speaker 1: the most congresswoman in Congress about the state troopers and
14:21
Speaker 1: emergency responders, Biden said on October third in Puerto Rico
14:26
Speaker 1: about hurricane that hit there. So New York sent not
14:29
Speaker 1: only a congresswoman, one of the most congresswomans in Congress.
14:33
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? No, of course it doesn't. Minnesota,
14:37
Speaker 1: Texas to help however they can. A New York sent
14:41
Speaker 1: not only a congress one of the most congresswoman in
14:44
Speaker 1: the Congress, by the state troopers and emergency responders. Even
14:48
Speaker 1: the first lady, I guess the de facto of President
14:51
Speaker 1: standing behind him when he says New York is sent
14:53
Speaker 1: not only a congresswoman, one of the most congresswomen in
14:57
Speaker 1: the Congress. What does that even we don't know. She
15:01
Speaker 1: even looked like, are you kidding me? Man? That's not
15:04
Speaker 1: the only screw up. Biden also claimed his grandfather was
15:08
Speaker 1: an All American football player. Problem, No, he wasn't. But
15:14
Speaker 1: here's the quote. My grandfather, Ambrose Finnegan would really be
15:19
Speaker 1: proud of me right now. I'm not joking. He would,
15:22
Speaker 1: by the way, he was an All American football player.
15:26
Speaker 1: He said this on October the twentieth Record Show. Then
15:30
Speaker 1: Ambrose's birth was actually between eighteen eighty four and eighteen
15:35
Speaker 1: eighty five. He would have been an All American football
15:38
Speaker 1: player around nineteen o two. There's a problem with that.
15:42
Speaker 1: Biden's statement is another made up story because that would
15:45
Speaker 1: be impossible because there was no such saying as an
15:48
Speaker 1: All American back then. My grandfather Finnegrew Scramping really be
15:52
Speaker 1: proud of me right now. No, yeah, I'm not joking.
15:55
Speaker 1: He would. I'm not joking. He would an All American
15:58
Speaker 1: football player in Johna, Santa Cla. Yeah, he was an
16:01
Speaker 1: All American football player down there in Santa Clair. I promise, No,
16:05
Speaker 1: he wasn't. We'll move on from that gaff to number seven.
16:09
Speaker 1: Biden also exaggerated his two thousand and four house fire.
16:13
Speaker 1: On October the fifth, Biden claimed he lost an awful
16:16
Speaker 1: lot in a house fire, and he said the fire
16:19
Speaker 1: coming chief told the Associated Press quote, luckily, we got
16:22
Speaker 1: it pretty early. The fire was under control in twenty minutes.
16:26
Speaker 1: If you go back and look what he said to
16:27
Speaker 1: the Associated Press at the time. Biden now claims on
16:31
Speaker 1: October the eleventh, the fire almost cost the lives of
16:34
Speaker 1: a couple of firefighters. They tell me because the kitchen
16:38
Speaker 1: floor was the burning between the beams and in the house.
16:42
Speaker 1: In addition to it almost collapsed into the basement. Well,
16:46
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. But who cares because Joe Biden says
16:50
Speaker 1: he once lost an awful lot of his home and
16:52
Speaker 1: a fire that never happened. He made it up. But
16:56
Speaker 1: this is apparently totally normal. I know, if we experience
17:00
Speaker 1: how much anxiety and fear concerned are the people. We
17:05
Speaker 1: didn't lose our whole home, but lightning struck and we
17:07
Speaker 1: lost an awful lot of it about fifteen years ago.
17:11
Speaker 1: I know if we experience. So the fire chief says
17:14
Speaker 1: that the president's lying or he's just losing his mind.
17:17
Speaker 1: I actually believe he's probably not lying as much as
17:20
Speaker 1: he's just losing his mind. And then again, Jill Biden
17:23
Speaker 1: is right there behind him because she seems to be
17:26
Speaker 1: the one that's running the country. Now there's another lie
17:29
Speaker 1: on the list, but it may be actually the one
17:32
Speaker 1: time that, in a weird way, the president was actually
17:35
Speaker 1: in charge. He did an interview, was singns Jake Tapper.
17:39
Speaker 1: In that interview, they obviously told him to lie. I
17:42
Speaker 1: don't think he's losing his mind here. I think he
17:44
Speaker 1: was being very smart and they understood how important it
17:48
Speaker 1: was for him to lie about the Justice Department's probe
17:50
Speaker 1: into his son. This was obviously a rehearsed answer, and
17:57
Speaker 1: I am sure that Jake Tapper more than likely agreed
18:00
Speaker 1: to have zero follow up questions or ask a tough
18:04
Speaker 1: question about the federal investigation into Hunter Biden, James Biden
18:11
Speaker 1: and connecting the president. That's why he only asked him
18:15
Speaker 1: one question. And this is what Joe Biden said response.
18:18
Speaker 1: And by the way, this thing about a gun, I
18:20
Speaker 1: didn't know anything about it. But turns out that when
18:23
Speaker 1: he made my application to purchase a gun, what happened
18:27
Speaker 1: was he say, I guess you get asked. I don't
18:30
Speaker 1: guess you get asked the question, are you on drugs?
18:32
Speaker 1: You use drugs? He said no, and he wrote about
18:35
Speaker 1: saying no his book, So I have gave confidence in
18:39
Speaker 1: my son. Now, clearly the president was prepped for that.
18:44
Speaker 1: Maybe they rehearsed it for a couple hours. It's a lie,
18:47
Speaker 1: but I don't actually think it's a screw up. It's
18:49
Speaker 1: showing you that this is how much they've got to
18:51
Speaker 1: get him ready to answer a question, even if it's
18:54
Speaker 1: only one question that they know is coming. So let's
18:57
Speaker 1: get back to the traditional screw up of the day.
19:00
Speaker 1: The president is also said that Kamala Harris is the president.
19:05
Speaker 1: Apparently she's been the president, and maybe she's the one
19:09
Speaker 1: that's running the country when doctor Jill Biden's not running
19:13
Speaker 1: the country. This was an actual White House event, and
19:16
Speaker 1: you're about to find out. Doug and I married way
19:20
Speaker 1: above our station. You've already seen one example of that.
19:25
Speaker 1: You'll soon see another. Doug, thank you for the introduction.
19:28
Speaker 1: And Doug's right, you're the first, but Kamalafen says you
19:34
Speaker 1: won't be the last. Kamala won't be the last woman
19:38
Speaker 1: to be vice president or president. All right, So apparently
19:43
Speaker 1: she's been president, right, I guess that's a big deal, right.
19:46
Speaker 1: I had no idea that she became the President of
19:49
Speaker 1: the United States of America today. This is totally normal,
19:53
Speaker 1: But then you get into the real problems here and again,
19:56
Speaker 1: I hope every one of you will take this list
19:58
Speaker 1: that I'm giving you and share it with your family
20:00
Speaker 1: and your friends, because this is just in the last
20:02
Speaker 1: thirty days. The one that scares the hell to me
20:06
Speaker 1: the most is the one when Joe Biden says there's
20:10
Speaker 1: a high risk of a nuclear armageddon. Speaking at a
20:14
Speaker 1: Democratic fundraiser October the sixth, Biden said the world could
20:18
Speaker 1: slip into a nuclear war. He said this, and even
20:22
Speaker 1: the Today Shows like, holy crap, is the President actually
20:26
Speaker 1: now saying that this We're going to go into a
20:29
Speaker 1: nuclear war? That's pretty significant, right. Listen to how the
20:33
Speaker 1: Today Show covered this shocking armageddon moment at blunt warning
20:38
Speaker 1: from President Biden, who cautioned overnight that a desperate Vladimir
20:42
Speaker 1: Putin may be pushing to the world to the brink
20:44
Speaker 1: of nuclear conflict. Our senior International Christmont Kier Simmons is
20:48
Speaker 1: in Moscow this morning with reaction. Kier Good Mornings, find
20:53
Speaker 1: a good morning to you here in Moscow. It's increasingly
20:56
Speaker 1: clear that President Putin is in a corner. President Biden, now,
20:59
Speaker 1: why are you about what happens if the Russian leader
21:02
Speaker 1: doesn't find an offering. This morning a stark warning from
21:07
Speaker 1: President Biden about President Putin's repeated nuclear threats, Mister Biden saying,
21:13
Speaker 1: we have the direct threat of the use of a
21:15
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon if in fact things continue down the path
21:19
Speaker 1: they are going. The President, making the comments off camera
21:22
Speaker 1: at a Democratic fundraiser, adding, we have not faced the
21:26
Speaker 1: prospect of armageddon since Kennedy and the Cuban missile crisis.
21:30
Speaker 1: President Putin, who turns seventy today, has threatened to use
21:34
Speaker 1: any means at his disposal and says the US created
21:37
Speaker 1: a precedent by using nuclear weapons in Japan during World
21:41
Speaker 1: War Two. President Biden saying he's not joking when he
21:44
Speaker 1: talks about the use of tactical nuclear weapons or biological
21:48
Speaker 1: or chemical weapons. The US has said there are no
21:51
Speaker 1: signs Russia is imminently preparing to use a low grade
21:55
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, and today in Moscow's Pushkin Square, disbelief frightened
22:00
Speaker 1: by the nuclear threats, You're not why not? This is
22:05
Speaker 1: all a political game, just words muscle play, it tells me.
22:09
Speaker 1: But Russia's invasion of Ukraine has left the country increasingly
22:13
Speaker 1: isolated from the rest of the world. It now takes
22:16
Speaker 1: us two long haul flights and fifteen hours to travel
22:19
Speaker 1: from Europe. And when I arrived, just got stopped in
22:22
Speaker 1: immigration for an hour, questioned. They went through my phone.
22:26
Speaker 1: The tension palpable Here now in Moscow, billboards celebrate military heroes,
22:31
Speaker 1: and with a draft underway, in recent weeks, many have
22:34
Speaker 1: been fleeing by air and by car. On Thursday, two
22:38
Speaker 1: Russian men arrived in Alaska on a small boat asking
22:42
Speaker 1: for asylum. According to lawmakers there, and Savannah here in Moscow,
22:47
Speaker 1: there are increasing signs of divisions among the elite, one
22:50
Speaker 1: former deputy defense minister saying, Candidy, this week, it's necessary
22:54
Speaker 1: to stop lying Savannah there it is Biden warrens of
22:58
Speaker 1: a new clear mcgeddon. I guess that's what you say
23:02
Speaker 1: when you're stupid and you're not really running the country.
23:05
Speaker 1: I wonder, by the way, if I really do I
23:10
Speaker 1: wonder if doctor Joe Biden told him to say that,
23:14
Speaker 1: or you think maybe he went off script, just throwing
23:17
Speaker 1: it out there, just an idea. Now Before I get
23:20
Speaker 1: into more of this story, I want to say thank
23:22
Speaker 1: you and tell you about our good friends at Legacy

24:41
Speaker 1: it over the last thirty days as Biden actually calls
24:44
Speaker 1: a senate candidate's wife a great future senator. Kind of
24:49
Speaker 1: a problem. During a Pennsylvania campaign stop on Thursday for
24:53
Speaker 1: John Fetterman, Biden told the crowd that his wife would
24:58
Speaker 1: be a great future center. Then there was an awkward
25:01
Speaker 1: slow applause that came out of that. Take a listen,
25:06
Speaker 1: and Lieutenant govern I was saying something nice about you, Ji,
25:11
Speaker 1: That's why I went out. And but I'm saying we're
25:14
Speaker 1: gonna try like the devil to keep you from having
25:16
Speaker 1: not having to decide to leave. I wish you didn't.
25:19
Speaker 1: And and John, thank you very much for h for running.
25:24
Speaker 1: I really do appreciate it. And Jel you're gonna you're
25:27
Speaker 1: gonna be a great a great lady in the Senate.
25:32
Speaker 1: You're gonna be a great lady in the Senate. So
25:34
Speaker 1: the question you have to ask is does the President
25:37
Speaker 1: not even know that he's there to campaign for John Fetterman,
25:40
Speaker 1: who's actually the one running for Senate. Why is he
25:43
Speaker 1: saying to John like he's the supporting spouse, your wife's
25:47
Speaker 1: gonna make one hell of a senator doesn't make any sense.
25:51
Speaker 1: It is insane. And that's why they awkwardly clapped in
25:56
Speaker 1: that audio that you just heard, because even they know
25:59
Speaker 1: that the President screwed it up. Well, at least NBC
26:03
Speaker 1: News is being honest. They're calling her the decider. You
26:07
Speaker 1: might as well call her the commander in chief because
26:10
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is involved in every single decision that's being
26:15
Speaker 1: made at the White House. I also believe that these
26:19
Speaker 1: screw ups are exactly why Democrats are in trouble going
26:23
Speaker 1: into the midterms. In fact, it's gotten so dire for
26:27
Speaker 1: Democrats right now that the House Democrat campaign chairman's race
26:32
Speaker 1: has now just been moved to a toss up. The
26:36
Speaker 1: Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, also known as the D Triple C.
26:41
Speaker 1: The chairman, Sean Patrick, has a race that has now
26:46
Speaker 1: been labeled a toss up and what could be a
26:50
Speaker 1: historic loss, as a sitting House campaign chair has not
26:54
Speaker 1: lost reelection since nineteen ninety two. Usually, the person that
27:00
Speaker 1: has chosen to head the D Triple C is someone
27:04
Speaker 1: who has a race that they will have no chance
27:06
Speaker 1: of losing, so they have time to get involved in
27:09
Speaker 1: the other races. Dave Wasserman, the House editor for Cook
27:14
Speaker 1: Political Report, over the weekend move New York seventeenth Congressional
27:19
Speaker 1: district from lean Democrat to a toss up. Wasserman noted
27:26
Speaker 1: that Democrats are now admitting the D Triple C chair
27:31
Speaker 1: is in serious danger in his home district of not winning.
27:36
Speaker 1: The potential loss would be particularly bad for Democrats, as
27:39
Speaker 1: a sitting House campaign chair has not lost reelection since
27:43
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two. The House editor for the Cook Political
27:48
Speaker 1: Report noted, this congressman being defeated would be historic. How
27:54
Speaker 1: hard is it to beat a campaign chairman? Will a
27:57
Speaker 1: sitting D Triple C all or an RCC chair hasn't
28:02
Speaker 1: lost re election since nineteen ninety four when the NURCC
28:07
Speaker 1: that's the Republican side chair lost his primary in Michigan
28:12
Speaker 1: and hasn't lost a general election, just so you know,
28:15
Speaker 1: on either side since nineteen eighty, when the D Triple
28:18
Speaker 1: C chairman back then J Jim mccorman lost in California.
28:24
Speaker 1: Samantha Bullock, the National Republican Congressional Committee known as the
28:28
Speaker 1: NRCC spokesman, said in a statement this morning that the
28:32
Speaker 1: fact that this is the guy who's in charge of
28:35
Speaker 1: the Democrats and the fact that he can't even get
28:39
Speaker 1: his own seat one easily tells you that Republicans are
28:44
Speaker 1: bringing it now. The fact that they have changed this
28:48
Speaker 1: race the guy who's in charge of getting Democrats elected
28:52
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be solid Democrat, then it went
28:54
Speaker 1: leaning Democrat. Now they're saying it's a toss up, and
28:57
Speaker 1: they've moved the category of this racist. The third time
29:00
Speaker 1: now would be huge because the Democrats desperately need this
29:05
Speaker 1: seat and others if they have any chance of keeping
29:09
Speaker 1: the majority in the House. If the Republicans were able
29:13
Speaker 1: to pick up this seat, I think it would tell
29:16
Speaker 1: you that this is going to be a disaster for
29:18
Speaker 1: the Democrats. Now, why is this actually happening. It is
29:21
Speaker 1: happening because Democrats are not connecting with the voters. Nancy
29:26
Speaker 1: Pelosi over the weekend said that she has no doubt
29:30
Speaker 1: that they are going to win back the House. She's
29:33
Speaker 1: obviously crazy. She also said on MSNBC on Friday this
29:37
Speaker 1: about inflation, the concerns by American voters that the Democrats
29:41
Speaker 1: are not paying attention to the needs of the American people.
29:44
Speaker 1: But sojourned. I've been in an average of five states
29:48
Speaker 1: a week, and I can tell you that women's concerns
29:52
Speaker 1: about their freedom are very very much, still very significant
29:57
Speaker 1: in terms of how they will vote. In fact, eighty
30:00
Speaker 1: percent of people who care about a wound's right to
30:02
Speaker 1: choose say they will vote, they will determine who they
30:06
Speaker 1: vote for. So again, Washington has always been all the
30:11
Speaker 1: probably are going to win. There's no question for a
30:13
Speaker 1: year and a half now that that has diminished in
30:16
Speaker 1: terms of that certainty, and there is a real race on.
30:21
Speaker 1: The Republicans are pouring endless money, dark, undisclosed special interest
30:26
Speaker 1: money into the campaigns, but we're holding our own. It's
30:30
Speaker 1: a matter of who turns out to vote. There are
30:33
Speaker 1: issues that we of course, we want to fight inflation.
30:38
Speaker 1: It's a global issue, but the American people, by the
30:41
Speaker 1: way of not buying that it's a global issue. Now,
30:44
Speaker 1: Pelosi has said over and over again that the Democrats
30:48
Speaker 1: are gonna win, all right. I think she's delusional or
30:52
Speaker 1: she just knows that she's having to lie to you
30:54
Speaker 1: to save face. But the young Democrats, they're planning for
30:59
Speaker 1: big losses. And young Democrats say they're ready to make
31:03
Speaker 1: their plans known for a post Pelosi shake up. NBC
31:08
Speaker 1: News also reporting this morning that House Democrats have unified
31:12
Speaker 1: as they fight to retain their fragile majority in next
31:15
Speaker 1: month's mid terms, but if they lose, as many election
31:19
Speaker 1: experts predict that they will, the unity will be likely
31:24
Speaker 1: short lived. A Democratic defeat at the polls expected to
31:27
Speaker 1: prompt rank and file members to push aggressively to replace
31:31
Speaker 1: the party's big three. That would be Speaker Nancy Pelosi,
31:35
Speaker 1: Majority Leader City Hoyer, and Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, all
31:40
Speaker 1: who have been there like oligarchs basically Democrats, the new
31:44
Speaker 1: socialist Democrats and the party. They want new, younger generation
31:50
Speaker 1: of leaders to come forward. The full blown socialists like
31:53
Speaker 1: AOC president Joe Biden, would also be in his eighties
31:58
Speaker 1: if he runs for a second term, and even before
32:01
Speaker 1: election day, younger House members haven't made a secret of
32:05
Speaker 1: their desire for serious change. Many Democrats who are younger
32:10
Speaker 1: are saying it's time for new blood and a new
32:13
Speaker 1: generation to step up and lead the Democratic Party. Dean
32:16
Speaker 1: Phillips fifty three, another moderate Democrat who represents Minnesota, greed
32:21
Speaker 1: telling NBC News on Friday that it's time for the
32:25
Speaker 1: majority of the class of twenty eighteen to step up,
32:29
Speaker 1: as he put it, and become younger. For the past
32:32
Speaker 1: several years, a trio of ambitious young Democrats, you have
32:36
Speaker 1: Representative Hakim Jeffreys fifty two, Catherine Clark fifty nine, and
32:41
Speaker 1: Pete Aguilar forty three, have been laying the groundwork to
32:45
Speaker 1: take the reins as the Democratic Caucus in a post
32:48
Speaker 1: Pelosi world, as well as other eager Democrats. Sensing the
32:52
Speaker 1: rare opportunity to move up in the pecking order, they've
32:56
Speaker 1: launched challenges to that unofficial leaders ship slate. Now you
33:01
Speaker 1: got to look at how old some of these people are.
33:03
Speaker 1: On the left, Pelosi is eighty two. She's led her
33:06
Speaker 1: caucus for nearly twenty years. Previously indicated that this election
33:11
Speaker 1: cycle would be her lasts, although she has dodged questions
33:14
Speaker 1: about her political future more recently, her longtime spokesman and
33:18
Speaker 1: trusted adviser repeated a familiar refrain, saying the Speaker is
33:23
Speaker 1: not on a shift, she's on a mission. Democrats argue
33:28
Speaker 1: it would be hard to alice the two time speaker
33:32
Speaker 1: if she leads her party to an unexpected victory on
33:35
Speaker 1: November eighth, But NBC News says, given Biden's unpopularity and
33:41
Speaker 1: the GOP lead on the generic congressional ballot, which asks
33:45
Speaker 1: only which party you would support, the more likely scenario
33:48
Speaker 1: is a bad election night for House Democrats. Even if
33:52
Speaker 1: Pelosi were to retire, Some Democrats say that Cinny, Hoyer
33:56
Speaker 1: and Cleburne could try to hang onto their respected leadership roles.
34:01
Speaker 1: They should not do that, many young socialist Democrats are saying.
34:06
Speaker 1: Several are now saying, no matter what happens on election night,
34:09
Speaker 1: if Democrats lose control of the House, that the older
34:13
Speaker 1: Democrats will be out, and the Democrats are hell bent
34:17
Speaker 1: on making sure that happens. This is exactly why it's
34:22
Speaker 1: going to be so important that we show up and
34:26
Speaker 1: we fight hard on election day. This is the reason
34:31
Speaker 1: why it's so important that we look at the important
34:33
Speaker 1: races like Senator Mike Lee in Utah and support him
34:37
Speaker 1: anyway that we can, because those races are going to
34:40
Speaker 1: be incredibly important. Moving forward makes you share a podcast,
34:45
Speaker 1: Please write us a five star review as well, and
34:48
Speaker 1: I will see you guys back here tomorrow.
