Biden and Trump Debate Fall Out

Biden and Trump Debate Fall Out

306: Can Joe Biden's frail TV appearance shake the foundation of the Democratic Party? Pastor Plek explores this burning question as he dissects the most recent debate with insights from Marlin Sparks of Victory Family Church and the ever-outspoken Machine Gun Nick. Listen as they examine the contrasting experiences of viewing versus listening to Joe Biden, who sounded assertive on the radio but appeared visibly aged on television. We break down the potential ripple effects for the Democrats and contemplate formidable replacements, including Michelle Obama.

Welcome.

00:00:14.173 --> 00:00:15.420
Hey, you know.

00:00:15.420 --> 00:00:23.009
Pastoring out there, it's victory life right victory, family victory family church, so excited for you guys to be joining all the way from perry.

00:00:23.028 --> 00:00:23.570
That's all the way.

00:00:23.570 --> 00:00:24.032
It's a long way.

00:00:24.032 --> 00:00:24.541
How many?

00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:25.303
hours to drive, was that?

00:00:25.463 --> 00:00:26.044
about eight eight.

00:00:26.504 --> 00:00:27.849
Yeah, just for this podcast.

00:00:27.849 --> 00:00:36.161
So I'm just, I'm just so honored to miss it and then also joining me on my right is none other than machine gun Nick.

00:00:36.161 --> 00:00:37.868
Welcome back, machine gun, nick Howdy.

00:00:38.371 --> 00:00:59.061
So one of the things I did on Sunday, which was just sort of a fun mic drop moment, is I at least first service for those of you who were here during meet and greet time I was like, hey, stand up, look at one of your neighbors and then tell them what you thought about the debate last night or on Thursday, and then I walked off and that was sort of a fun moment and everyone sort of stared at their shoes awkwardly.

00:00:59.061 --> 00:01:03.267
But I want to kind of get your guys' view of how you think the debate went.

00:01:03.267 --> 00:01:05.349
Did you get and first off, did you actually get to hear the debate?

00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:06.992
See the debate, experience the debate?

00:01:07.412 --> 00:01:13.992
so I always call it third hand off of like social media okay, so you got like all the yeah the riffs.

00:01:14.313 --> 00:01:18.983
Yes, uh, did you get the donald trump commercial riff of the port of of?

00:01:18.983 --> 00:01:23.448
Uh, biden's like talking 90 seconds of just pure muttering.

00:01:23.448 --> 00:01:28.215
Yes, okay, all right, marlon, did you get a chance to watch it?

00:01:28.215 --> 00:01:29.536
Every bit of it?

00:01:29.536 --> 00:01:31.004
Okay, and I, so I was.

00:01:31.004 --> 00:01:31.968
I watched.

00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:43.325
We had backer Bible club going on at the same time, so I kind of scooted in and watched a little bit, and then I had to go speak at Hill Country Bible Church's boot camp for their students, and then I listened to it on the radio.

00:01:43.325 --> 00:01:44.227
Now, just boot camp for their students.

00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:45.347
And then I listened to it on the radio.

00:01:45.347 --> 00:02:09.867
Now, here's what's why when I was listening to on the radio, biden sounded old but he sounded coherent, so I couldn't see him, uh, and so it's like he sounded like an old guy, which I thought was fine, but his responses seemed like measured and like had a point and and I only heard, like you know I guess, a 15 minute section and I was like man, he's, he's hanging in there he responded to Trump in a coherent fashion, which is sort of funny.

00:02:09.888 --> 00:02:17.092
I think the fact that I was like sort of surprised and like good for you, joe, that you were able to function up there.

00:02:17.092 --> 00:02:27.395
I guess that's not a good sign, uh, but uh, I think for most everybody else took it as they saw him and so the response was like he looked, he was a deer in the headlights pretty much the whole time.

00:02:27.395 --> 00:02:28.745
Is that sort of what you took from that?

00:02:28.745 --> 00:02:30.641
Absolutely yeah, what was your like?

00:02:30.641 --> 00:02:31.544
He's what?

00:02:31.544 --> 00:02:32.426
81?

00:02:32.426 --> 00:02:33.449
Is that what he is?

00:02:33.449 --> 00:02:35.534
Let me check, is that?

00:02:35.556 --> 00:02:37.080
right, yeah, hold on.

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.322
It might be Biden age real quick.

00:02:39.322 --> 00:02:40.582
It's like, how old is he?

00:02:40.582 --> 00:02:41.223
Yeah, he's 81.

00:02:41.223 --> 00:02:43.384
So he's 81 years old.

00:02:43.384 --> 00:02:50.191
He's been in politics, I think, since 72 or something, and so he has been here for a while.

00:02:50.191 --> 00:02:57.257
So when you look at the way that he came off, did it look like dementia had set in, or what was your sort of thought on that?

00:02:58.980 --> 00:02:59.984
I thought it was.

00:02:59.984 --> 00:03:05.352
I thought he started strong too, and they said just the opposite.

00:03:05.352 --> 00:03:09.039
You know, right said started started, bad ended strong.

00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:12.223
I thought it just the opposite yeah he started pretty strong and faded away right right.

00:03:12.243 --> 00:03:21.008
I didn't, because I, when I was listening to him, I was like I mean, his policies were not what ones I would agree with, but he was able to coherently argue them and then, like he and Trump, looked like they were.

00:03:21.139 --> 00:03:43.828
You know, again, he sounded old but didn't look like he was well, there didn't sound like he was a deer in the headlights I saw a clip where that shows donald trump walking off stage after it ends, yeah, and like, um biden's wife and somebody else having to like, come get him and like, and he was just seemed entirely frail, like he was about, he was just done afterwards.

00:03:43.828 --> 00:03:56.050
Yeah, you know, and I don't know how many people saw that clip, but like, or if you saw it at the end, or they they got it, they cut it before you could see that right if you watched it, but it it was really really bad.

00:03:56.189 --> 00:04:03.391
So so the I mean pretty much the consensus is is that it's not that he didn't he argued wrong points?

00:04:03.391 --> 00:04:04.504
Because I don't think, I don't.

00:04:04.504 --> 00:04:05.937
I think he stayed on his policies.

00:04:05.937 --> 00:04:06.760
I don't think there was anything.

00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:10.211
You were sitting there going like Joe Biden has switched or changed.

00:04:10.211 --> 00:04:12.705
It just was like he was, like he has.

00:04:12.705 --> 00:04:23.783
Just he looked frail, old and like literally on the verge of death, whereas Donald Trump, who's only like four years younger than him, looked more functional and so you're like you like.

00:04:23.802 --> 00:04:25.387
Okay, all right.

00:04:25.387 --> 00:04:39.607
So it's interesting to me that and I know this is the part, maybe, that I'm too pragmatic it seems to me that if you're the Democrats, why would you?

00:04:39.607 --> 00:04:41.632
Because everyone's been talking they need to pull him.

00:04:41.632 --> 00:04:44.442
They're going to pull, he needs to resign.

00:04:44.442 --> 00:04:50.281
You're hearing lots of calls from the Democrats they need to quit, but if you are a Democrat, who are you going to replace him with?

00:04:50.281 --> 00:04:53.184
The only person I could see would be Michelle Obama.

00:04:53.184 --> 00:04:53.665
What do you think?

00:04:55.370 --> 00:04:55.911
Absolutely.

00:04:55.911 --> 00:05:02.079
I mean, yeah, the only reasonable choice for them would be I would just have to.

00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.870
So I mean in the polling data that came out today, which is July 3rd.

00:05:05.870 --> 00:05:14.589
She's never held a political seat at all, neither had Donald Trump to be fair before he became president.

00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.209
Right, but he ran billion-dollar industry.

00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:20.209
Yeah, but she's got her husband in the back pocket.

00:05:20.209 --> 00:05:23.048
He would be president.

00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:24.141
Texas politics.

00:05:24.141 --> 00:05:24.798
We've seen this before.

00:05:24.798 --> 00:05:24.951
Remember vote for Maul, you get Paul.

00:05:24.951 --> 00:05:24.968
Yeah, yeah, he's.

00:05:24.968 --> 00:05:25.045
He would be president.

00:05:25.045 --> 00:05:25.163
Yeah, texas politics.

00:05:25.163 --> 00:05:25.461
We've seen this before.

00:05:25.461 --> 00:05:27.485
Remember, vote for maul, you get paul.

00:05:27.485 --> 00:05:30.892
Yeah, yeah, after he got ousted, right, what was that guy?

00:05:30.892 --> 00:05:33.531
That was like forever that was the governor forever.

00:05:33.651 --> 00:05:41.161
Yeah, but he would be, oh, I mean, we would have another situation like that obama presidency that's what it would be, he would run the show and they loved him.

00:05:41.201 --> 00:05:43.608
So yeah, and I think he, I think mich.

00:05:43.608 --> 00:05:45.812
At this point the polling shows that she would win.

00:05:45.812 --> 00:05:53.949
Now if she got up there and said something dumb, then she wouldn't and I think they would not go with Kamala Harris, because I don't think Kamala Harris has the ability to.

00:05:53.949 --> 00:05:58.220
She is like a younger version of the current Joe Biden.

00:05:58.220 --> 00:06:00.649
It's kind of a wild thing to kind of listen to her talk.

00:06:01.100 --> 00:06:04.865
That's where you're going to get your riff is who's going to be her vice presidential candidate.

00:06:04.865 --> 00:06:14.009
That's where the infighting begins, and I mean, kamala would have a meltdown like no other, and it is right now because her name is not being mentioned.

00:06:14.009 --> 00:06:17.646
Right, yeah, and I think that's why you have within the Democrat party right now.

00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:20.490
I think they're struggling to really pull it together.

00:06:20.490 --> 00:06:35.370
But if Michelle somehow was able to overcome the you know use, if Brock, through his political savvy, was able to get Joe to step down and I think really it's not even Joe, it's Jill Biden at this- point that's probably propping him up, no question about it.

00:06:35.471 --> 00:06:35.632
What do?

00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:37.247
you think is the reason for that, marlon?

00:06:37.247 --> 00:06:38.170
Why is the just?

00:06:38.170 --> 00:06:43.247
Just from a just a psychological perspective, why would Jill Biden want to be propped up?

00:06:43.247 --> 00:06:53.187
Just lust for power, power and wealth, like she wants to live in the white house just loves the power I'm telling you right now, you know yeah it just is.

00:06:53.307 --> 00:06:54.529
And her family said she.

00:06:54.529 --> 00:07:01.069
They said just this morning she and her family are meeting with him saying absolutely do not get out of this race, right?

00:07:01.771 --> 00:07:11.113
and she's eight years younger than him, so she's 73, so she's not exactly super young, but she's not, you know, old either, so it's it's kind of a wild sort of deal.

00:07:11.113 --> 00:07:14.887
So jill wants to keep it and joe, I think, is he's.

00:07:14.887 --> 00:07:33.774
He's like whatever his handlers tell him to do and to be fair, like and this is where I'm just gonna be honest with you and I would love to hear your perspective with this here's a question if, if the Republican presidential candidate was an empty suit, kind of how Joe Biden is, would you still vote for him?

00:07:33.774 --> 00:07:35.735
Ouch?

00:07:36.761 --> 00:07:37.262
Hey, that's a—.

00:07:39.504 --> 00:07:47.521
Well, I mean imagine, if the roles reversed Right question roles reversed right?

00:07:47.521 --> 00:07:57.408
Uh, you have, and it is barack obama who's on the other side, and you've got um the the joe biden republican guy who is, you know, going for christian like, stands for christian values, is probably going to do whatever the handlers tell him to do.

00:07:57.408 --> 00:07:57.831
What would you?

00:07:57.870 --> 00:08:01.627
do not vote really you would not vote.

00:08:01.627 --> 00:08:02.769
Well, I mean.

00:08:02.769 --> 00:08:09.848
If I mean, if I have somebody who has to be handled, or Barack Obama are my picks?

00:08:09.848 --> 00:08:13.305
I don't have a pick, then you're handing it over to the other side.

00:08:13.346 --> 00:08:13.988
That's why I don't know.

00:08:13.988 --> 00:08:14.790
Well, I guess I'll vote for me.

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:17.283
Maybe I can get 30 votes so.

00:08:17.644 --> 00:08:26.208
I guess this is the dilemma I think because I would pretty much say you're a pretty stout, conservative, red state person, right.

00:08:26.267 --> 00:08:30.187
I don't think there's any 100% Like there's not a part of you that's like.

00:08:30.187 --> 00:08:30.708
I don't know.

00:08:30.708 --> 00:08:33.763
Maybe the Democrats this time, no so even you.

00:08:33.763 --> 00:08:39.793
But if you had a Joe Biden-esque person in your camp, you would just not vote.

00:08:39.793 --> 00:09:02.908
That, I think, is exactly what the Democrats are afraid of that there are the Democrat version of Machine Gun Nick out there saying I am just not going to vote because it's just, I can't even hold my nose and vote for Joe Biden because it's that bad, whereas for me I would still vote for the empty suit.

00:09:03.701 --> 00:09:07.568
There's a lot of, a lot of polling on the street, just on the street poll, right.

00:09:07.568 --> 00:09:08.452
So what about?

00:09:08.452 --> 00:09:10.802
Would you ever ever consider voting for trump?

00:09:10.802 --> 00:09:11.844
Haha, we that.

00:09:11.844 --> 00:09:14.692
Yeah, the hatred for him is so intense.

00:09:14.692 --> 00:09:16.034
But what about this guy?

00:09:16.034 --> 00:09:21.775
I probably won't vote, and that's, of course, to the to the republican advantage, right.

00:09:21.775 --> 00:09:24.183
But yeah, there is a lot of that right now.

00:09:24.183 --> 00:09:25.027
I mean, mean, how could I?

00:09:25.027 --> 00:09:25.729
How could I?

00:09:26.259 --> 00:09:32.710
But there's so much at stake with the president, there is Think of the things at stake of the president, like Supreme Court nominations.

00:09:32.710 --> 00:09:34.745
But Trump got three.

00:09:34.745 --> 00:09:43.500
He flipped the Supreme Court and like him or hate him, right, let's just say you're a conservative person that Christian values, you know.

00:09:43.500 --> 00:09:46.467
I just can't standald trump because he is a hypocrite.

00:09:46.467 --> 00:09:51.759
He is, you know, he abusive to women, all the things you just like.

00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:57.873
Yeah, he still got you three supreme court people and like now, what do you do?

00:09:58.192 --> 00:10:04.307
saved our bacon yeah, right, so like I mean roe v wade overturned Something that was 49 years, was that what?

00:10:04.307 --> 00:10:22.988
It was 49 years that Roe v Wade was the law that abortions could not be restricted by states, and now, all of a sudden, that is gone and so all the states are forming their own laws, which is constitutional, by the way.

00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:26.001
Sure, but is it right, and that's another question that's sort, by the way, sure, but is it right, and that's another question like that's?

00:10:26.001 --> 00:10:34.591
That's sort of the wild part of it, right uh, because I think, if you're like, is it ever right to kill someone?

00:10:34.591 --> 00:10:36.255
And then that's, that's where you're like.

00:10:36.255 --> 00:10:39.903
Well, you know, there, that's the part that christians would debate, right?

00:10:39.903 --> 00:10:41.505
No, it's not right.

00:10:41.725 --> 00:10:47.475
However, the Constitution says that that power doesn't lie in the federal government.

00:10:47.475 --> 00:10:48.966
It lies by the state.

00:10:48.966 --> 00:10:58.751
So that's where your state and local leaders can decide Right, and that's why you have Texas, who's basically no abortion.

00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:00.083
But there is national law.

00:11:00.083 --> 00:11:02.711
Don't murder, right, right, okay.

00:11:02.711 --> 00:11:04.365
So why can't it be national law?

00:11:04.365 --> 00:11:06.533
I'm not saying that's the president's job isn't to do that, right, right, okay.

00:11:06.533 --> 00:11:07.308
So why can't it be national law?

00:11:07.308 --> 00:11:08.260
And I'm not saying that's the president's job isn't to do that, right.

00:11:08.260 --> 00:11:15.626
His job is to sign a law into Right into a law, sign a bill into a law, right.

00:11:16.041 --> 00:11:27.389
And what Trump said, I think, in the debate, was that if a law came across his desk to ban abortion, he wouldn't sign it.

00:11:27.389 --> 00:11:36.553
And so that was sort of like, as a Christian, you go, listen, is that better than Roe v Wade being?

00:11:36.553 --> 00:11:43.594
Yes, but it's like man that's not exactly upholding and caring for the most marginalized and weakest.

00:11:43.594 --> 00:11:54.264
Anyway, that's just sort of a thought on that Right, because it's a difficult thing to sort of weigh and and I think that's one of the things that's a struggle as any sort of uh, christian and Marlon, you've you've been around a couple of years.

00:11:54.264 --> 00:11:59.030
You've seen presidents come and go, um, what like?

00:11:59.030 --> 00:12:06.956
At what point do you sort of draw the line I can't vote for that guy, um, based on a position somewhere.

00:12:06.956 --> 00:12:12.097
But they have like is there anything where you would not vote because you're like both these guys are terrible options.

00:12:12.097 --> 00:12:13.342
What would there?

00:12:13.363 --> 00:12:16.229
be anything, or just you take what you get, I would vote.

00:12:16.229 --> 00:12:24.890
Uh, you know, if any believer, any christian, it's gonna vote down the line of biblical worldview.

00:12:24.890 --> 00:12:26.514
Right, all right, simple as that.

00:12:26.514 --> 00:12:28.764
Yep, just follow the word just follow the bible.

00:12:29.125 --> 00:12:41.245
Yeah and uh, if you're going outside of that, you know, I mean you're going to vote the one that's going to be as close to the biblical worldview as you can get and not go by man's opinion.

00:12:41.245 --> 00:12:43.129
Yeah, don't go by your own opinion.

00:12:43.129 --> 00:12:46.115
Yeah, you know, go by man's opinion, go by your own opinion.

00:12:46.134 --> 00:12:47.317
Go by your own opinion.

00:12:47.317 --> 00:12:50.807
My earliest memories really is like the 84 election with Ronald Reagan.

00:12:50.807 --> 00:12:59.062
Take me back to 76 with Carter, who was a born-again believer, right Democrat, born-again believer.

00:12:59.062 --> 00:13:01.486
This is before, though that's before gay marriage was a thing.

00:13:01.486 --> 00:13:13.623
More of your standard Democrat that I think most Southerners were, and so what was the view back then for Christians?

00:13:16.610 --> 00:13:23.873
You know, I mean, that was really a time period when born again was being thrown around like you know candy.

00:13:23.873 --> 00:13:34.658
Oh really, you know, I mean everybody's talking born again this born again, that I'm born again, they're born again and really I mean no fruit whatsoever of that, oh wow, and a lot of different.

00:13:34.658 --> 00:13:41.493
Uh, politicians were riding the coattail of that, right, because there was a strong.

00:13:41.493 --> 00:13:50.562
There was a strong, uh, I guess, move of the spirit of god or whatever back because that's the jesus freak movement or whatever, like you know right, that's exactly right.

00:13:50.822 --> 00:13:52.447
yeah, see, so there was a.

00:13:52.447 --> 00:14:00.854
There was people courting the born again favor really strong, and and courting the favor of the churches, or you know this one.

00:14:00.854 --> 00:14:04.783
You know this administration is not matter of fact.

00:14:04.783 --> 00:14:12.359
They're so anti the born again, anti-evangelical, anti-churchurch Right it's unbelievable.

00:14:12.359 --> 00:14:19.514
They're screaming, you know, taking taxation away and everything else from the churches and 501-3C.

00:14:19.514 --> 00:14:28.339
It's just amazing to see them just look in the face of God and laugh and you say, well, donald Trump's not much better.

00:14:28.339 --> 00:14:32.533
Well, policy-wise, absolutely Right, right right, because the one thing.

00:14:32.553 --> 00:14:36.200
so going back to jimmy carter because this is the thing is fat, I mean it's kind of a tout is the worst president ever.

00:14:36.309 --> 00:14:39.135
I think 100 like everyone's like he's the worst.

00:14:39.135 --> 00:14:40.779
But then we had obama.

00:14:41.620 --> 00:15:02.336
But then we have biden, sure, but I think, I think that's the problem is that, uh, as one that was born in his, uh, in his presidential tenure, like I, I don't have a full grasp of how bad exactly it was, but it seemed to me that under Carter, gas prices were insane.

00:15:02.336 --> 00:15:04.736
Was that what gas rationing was happening?

00:15:05.412 --> 00:15:06.996
Yeah, and interest rates?

00:15:06.996 --> 00:15:09.274
Holy cow, we're like.

00:15:09.274 --> 00:15:11.289
Oh no, they're like 7%, 8%.

00:15:11.412 --> 00:15:12.429
They're like 20%.

00:15:12.870 --> 00:15:19.317
That's why the 80s was like 10s right To buy a house was like 10% all throughout the 80s.

00:15:19.317 --> 00:15:24.558
Oh, yeah, yeah, it was insane and we're over here like 6%, 7%.

00:15:25.395 --> 00:15:27.370
Yeah, throwing a fit about 6%, 7%, 8%.

00:15:27.370 --> 00:15:30.317
Well you know we don't need it.

00:15:30.317 --> 00:15:31.422
That's the difference.

00:15:34.009 --> 00:15:37.057
I remember that very well, right, well, the price of a house did go up drastically.

00:15:37.057 --> 00:15:42.975
Yeah, versus the price, versus the amount that that a person makes, you know pay raises.

00:15:42.975 --> 00:15:44.738
It's from 76 to now.

00:15:45.219 --> 00:16:08.927
Uh, did not go up with efficiency, which went up 200 and, like you, look at what people earn, it did not go up with efficiency yeah, yeah, just just some economics for you, yeah yeah, I think in 81 it was 18.63 percent, so like it was in during during carter it climbed to 12.9 percent and then with reagan event.

00:16:08.927 --> 00:16:14.052
You know he turned around about a year into his or I guess, two years almost two years into his presidency and that's when.

00:16:14.052 --> 00:16:23.981
That's when the, the, the yuppies, young professional, the member, the 80s became like this that's when I was doing coke and making money hand over fist and true.

00:16:24.822 --> 00:16:26.332
that is just a why I mean okay.

00:16:26.332 --> 00:16:38.416
So anyway, the reason I bring that up is it's like when I think about a guy that touted himself as a christian, like I think j Carter, like that was his, he had the bona fides, he taught Sunday school, he did all the things.

00:16:38.416 --> 00:16:47.179
He was Baptist, you know, and again I don't know how Baptist it was back then, but sort of an interesting, sort of kind of mindset.

00:16:47.230 --> 00:16:57.434
Anyway, I bring that up just because is Carter and again, this is just your opinion from you know a guy that just was alive and functional at that time.

00:16:57.434 --> 00:17:03.030
But like, do you think it's worse now, or is it just more polarized now?

00:17:06.737 --> 00:17:07.057
I think.

00:17:07.057 --> 00:17:08.640
I think it's worse now.

00:17:09.040 --> 00:17:13.094
Okay, yeah, I think it's like even with all the gas ration, I mean like I think about stuff like that.

00:17:13.094 --> 00:17:20.077
I'm like that's right, but then again we had the covet insanity, so like I guess the things don't the more things change more than say the same right.

00:17:20.077 --> 00:17:21.422
I think so as a christian.

00:17:21.422 --> 00:17:24.597
I'm looking at that going like back then in the 70s.

00:17:24.597 --> 00:17:28.332
I think a christian could probably get behind a democrat, because I don't think there were.

00:17:28.332 --> 00:17:29.334
Was it full-on?

00:17:29.334 --> 00:17:29.733
That was all.

00:17:29.794 --> 00:17:33.558
Democrats were pro-choice back then was that, yeah, okay, so that was pretty much standard.

00:17:33.558 --> 00:17:37.704
Definitely, I mean definitely against gay marriage everybody.

00:17:37.704 --> 00:17:40.055
Yeah, everybody was against gay marriage, everybody against gay marriage.

00:17:40.075 --> 00:17:47.290
But pro-choice was it was that as a democrat leading thing correct from even back then and so and that and so that was during his.

00:17:47.290 --> 00:17:49.795
Uh gosh, what year was roe v wade?

00:17:49.795 --> 00:17:51.837
Um 73.

00:17:51.837 --> 00:17:52.519
So that was just.

00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:54.963
That was actually during nixon's time.

00:17:54.963 --> 00:17:58.076
So you got roe v wade comes about during nixon's time.

00:17:58.076 --> 00:18:05.082
Of course, that was a supreme court decision, not a legislative process, which is what we all would say would be a more american way of doing law.

00:18:05.082 --> 00:18:14.403
Anyway, the reason why I bring that up in the midst of this debate is I'm just curious about, like as the empty suit.

00:18:14.403 --> 00:18:19.457
You've got someone who is, I mean, he has towed the line to democratic policy.

00:18:19.457 --> 00:18:22.042
He's whenever it's like, hey, we need to, we need to.

00:18:22.042 --> 00:18:23.434
Rainbow flags, the white house.

00:18:23.434 --> 00:18:25.281
Rainbow flags, the white house we need to do.

00:18:26.045 --> 00:18:33.587
Support trans, supporting trans, no, even when it goes against um like would be politically wise, I think, for biden.

00:18:33.587 --> 00:18:39.354
He toes the party line and I think that's why I asked you if, like, if you, if you had an empty suit, who would tow the party line?

00:18:39.354 --> 00:18:47.740
As far as being conservative you're like, I still wouldn't vote for him I think I don't think the republican party would push that person.

00:18:48.321 --> 00:18:52.012
Um, you know, I mean you got a scrap just to get that.

00:18:52.012 --> 00:19:01.105
Unlike the democratic Party and this is the difference is the Democratic Party, the party nominates the candidate, right?

00:19:01.105 --> 00:19:03.397
Yep, they don't have to win by popular vote.

00:19:03.397 --> 00:19:05.557
The Republican Party is the opposite.

00:19:05.557 --> 00:19:09.862
You've got to hold that public, that majority vote.

00:19:09.862 --> 00:19:12.646
You see, like that's how they run their convention?

00:19:12.666 --> 00:19:13.049
No, they still do.

00:19:13.049 --> 00:19:16.459
They have the Republican National Convention, the Democratic National Convention, Right, but you've got to get the votes.

00:19:16.479 --> 00:19:22.019
They still have to vote Right, but yeah, exactly, we've got to go out there and vote and say, hey, we want Trump.

00:19:22.019 --> 00:19:24.878
He gets 50% of that vote.

00:19:24.878 --> 00:19:27.432
Of course, no one else is going to beat him.

00:19:27.432 --> 00:19:32.118
Where on On the Democratic side they actually that's not really how they do it.

00:19:32.118 --> 00:19:35.102
The party convenes and is like this is the candidate.

00:19:35.102 --> 00:19:37.986
Yeah, and that's been like that forever.

00:19:38.626 --> 00:20:04.102
So I think the reason why they what commentator is saying the reason why they pushed the debate to this early for the first one, is that whenever the Democratic National Convention happens this year which is going to be I'm not sure when it's going to be, but it's like this coming up, it would they wanted it, because it's before they make the full-on decision that you're our guy.

00:20:04.102 --> 00:20:21.381
So they still have to decide that, even though, throughout all the primaries, biden won and, to be fair, trump won, trump still has to go before the rat of Republican National Committee and they say, even though you got all the primaries, they say, like we have given you the you know you're the coordinated king of the Republicans or the coordinated?

00:20:21.401 --> 00:20:22.590
king of Democrats.

00:20:22.590 --> 00:20:24.511
So I still think that has to happen.

00:20:24.511 --> 00:20:27.734
Um, still so.

00:20:27.734 --> 00:20:49.084
I think that that's to your point, though it's going to be a part of the process that whenever they decide in August which is when they decide we're a month out, we're a month out from August they have a month to get their stuff together to figure out who they're going to nominate at the Democrat National Convention in Chicago.

00:20:49.084 --> 00:20:53.851
So this could be Michelle Obama's chance, or they're weighing the polls.

00:20:53.851 --> 00:21:00.795
He just met with all the governors of the nation to kind of kind of like, give them talking points of like.

00:21:00.795 --> 00:21:13.522
This is why you should tell your supporters to vote for me, and in the meantime, I think he's probably listening to his inner inner circle of jill biden all the rest of the people saying, hey, you're sticking in this thing until we tell you you're not, and so I think that's kind of what they're doing.

00:21:13.522 --> 00:21:19.799
And you're like if you were a Democrat, you would be like no way, no way.

00:21:23.688 --> 00:21:36.821
I still want to believe in the system, even though it's hard to comprehend that possibly the president is just a face and other people are making decisions behind the curtain kind of deal.

00:21:36.821 --> 00:21:43.357
But after this presidency it's kind of hard.

00:21:43.664 --> 00:21:45.573
Well, I would say it depends on the president.

00:21:45.573 --> 00:21:48.729
Let's go back to reagan.

00:21:48.729 --> 00:21:49.369
I think you do.

00:21:49.369 --> 00:21:51.516
You remember reagan in his latter years?

00:21:51.516 --> 00:21:56.940
It was just like this in 1987, 88, with the iron contra fair.

00:21:56.940 --> 00:21:57.923
He couldn't remember anything.

00:21:57.923 --> 00:22:00.810
When he's being asked, it was like ronald reagan.

00:22:00.810 --> 00:22:05.528
And this is where I know there's some reaganites who would, like you know, like roll over in their grave and get angry when they hear this.

00:22:05.528 --> 00:22:13.240
But I remember this, me listening to the radio and going oh man, Ronald Reagan doesn't remember where he is, doesn't know what's going on.

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:16.335
And they're asking him like did you whatever?

00:22:16.335 --> 00:22:17.730
And he's like I can't remember.

00:22:17.730 --> 00:22:20.594
That was the classic answer.

00:22:20.594 --> 00:22:21.988
And what could you say to that?

00:22:21.988 --> 00:22:23.412
He can't remember, he's not lying.

00:22:24.214 --> 00:22:43.993
Right and everyone's just sort of like just get us to the election in 1988 and somehow george bush won off of the coattails of how strong the 80s were economically, even though we in 87 we had the uh, black friday where we had a we had a pretty big crash, but but like I think that's, that's essentially it.

00:22:44.054 --> 00:22:47.968
So, people, still, but it was 88, then 88 or 89.

00:22:47.968 --> 00:22:48.589
The wall fell.

00:22:48.589 --> 00:22:53.289
It was 89, right, the Berlin Wall.

00:22:53.289 --> 00:22:56.053
Yeah, I mean that was the collapse of communism.

00:22:56.053 --> 00:22:58.224
That would have been a major big deal.

00:22:58.224 --> 00:23:03.959
Yeah, that was 1989, but it was after his presidency.

00:23:03.959 --> 00:23:05.482
Right, so he did Bush was president.

00:23:05.502 --> 00:23:06.345
Yeah, Bush is president.

00:23:06.345 --> 00:23:13.393
Yeah, so Bush is president, but remember when Reagan says you know, mr Gorbachev tear down that wall.

00:23:13.393 --> 00:23:15.603
Tear down the wall.

00:23:15.603 --> 00:23:18.192
That was kind of a.

00:23:18.192 --> 00:23:19.315
That happened in 87.

00:23:19.315 --> 00:23:25.006
So June 12th 87, mr Gorbachev tear down this wall and then two years later, it happened Boom.

00:23:25.026 --> 00:23:27.949
That's wild, but I think the decline from 87, mr Gorbachev tear down this wall and then, two years later, it happened.

00:23:27.949 --> 00:23:35.115
That's wild, but I think the decline from 87 to 88 was pretty extreme and he just looked like a frail old man by the time he left office.

00:23:35.115 --> 00:23:36.276
It is so anyway.

00:23:36.635 --> 00:23:41.599
Yeah, I said his wife stepped in really hard and opposite of what Jill's doing right now.

00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:44.521
Right, nancy stepped in and said this is it.

00:23:44.521 --> 00:23:45.506
That's enough.

00:23:45.506 --> 00:23:53.371
Guys, get some handlers, get some help right get some people surrounding him and let's get this thing, let's try to float through this thing till the end, right, you know?

00:23:53.571 --> 00:23:54.934
and and but is jill doing?

00:23:54.934 --> 00:23:57.329
Because I would think that jill's sort of doing that right.

00:23:57.329 --> 00:24:00.196
I would think that she's like hey, I want to protect it.

00:24:00.265 --> 00:24:04.594
Yeah, that, oh, that part, because I think she has the reason why there's a gaggle around him.

00:24:04.614 --> 00:24:06.979
is that nobody wants to watch him actually walk anywhere?

00:24:08.906 --> 00:24:11.605
Oh, that's right, Taking him to the helicopter, right to the helicopter.

00:24:11.605 --> 00:24:13.692
There's a gaggle to the helicopter.

00:24:14.066 --> 00:24:15.932
There's a gaggle to the press conference.

00:24:16.025 --> 00:24:22.676
There's a gaggle to everywhere he goes, Because from the helicopter to the Oval Office he might get lost Seriously.

00:24:23.244 --> 00:24:24.648
Hey, you watch people.

00:24:24.648 --> 00:24:31.574
I mean, you will not see him ever anywhere that somebody's not touching him going this way, this way or that way.

00:24:31.574 --> 00:24:35.989
It's just amazing and he'll just stand there and just start to go that way or still.

00:24:35.989 --> 00:24:39.635
You know, that's just, that's just.

00:24:39.635 --> 00:24:39.997
It's.

00:24:40.037 --> 00:24:48.548
That's hard to watch yeah, it's hard, and you know they're crying spousal abuse and that's elderly abuse, and everything else, and I think there's a they.

00:24:48.669 --> 00:24:58.252
I think they have a point there, there's, there's, there's this, that that's hard to watch him do that, but then you know we have the border crisis that's pretty hard to watch yeah, everything's obviously right.

00:24:58.292 --> 00:25:00.560
Military age males hard to watch.

00:25:00.560 --> 00:25:05.632
Border afghanistan was hard to watch, oh that was maybe the worst.

00:25:06.834 --> 00:25:07.194
I don't know.

00:25:07.194 --> 00:25:18.214
I wasn't alive during the Vietnam pullout, but I think that that was the worst end of operations I've ever seen.

00:25:18.214 --> 00:25:24.875
And who decided it was a good idea just to hand over all the weapons, the drones, the helicopters, the trucks?

00:25:24.875 --> 00:25:27.993
I'm pretty sure they got a few tanks off of us, you know.

00:25:28.013 --> 00:25:28.394
Oh yeah.

00:25:30.345 --> 00:25:32.712
It just I cannot conceive that.

00:25:32.712 --> 00:25:43.574
And then I think the biggest outrage from the veteran community during the entire debate is when he lied about I've lost no veterans since I've been president.

00:25:43.574 --> 00:25:51.420
He lost 13 Marines and sailors the week he pulled out of Afghanistan.

00:25:52.464 --> 00:25:53.567
Afghanistan was all.

00:25:53.567 --> 00:25:59.638
It was as close to a 9-11 feeling as you probably get.

00:25:59.638 --> 00:26:05.492
I mean, everybody felt, when the tires fell and all of that, how everything just started crashing in on your head.

00:26:05.492 --> 00:26:07.409
To me, afghanistan that wasn't.

00:26:07.409 --> 00:26:14.132
I mean, it's far apart in similarities but at the same time there's a sinking feeling going what are you doing?

00:26:14.132 --> 00:26:15.656
What are we doing?

00:26:15.656 --> 00:26:16.890
What are they doing?

00:26:16.890 --> 00:26:18.684
And everybody's just watching this confusion.

00:26:18.684 --> 00:26:30.952
And then the generals get on there later and said, well, we told them not to do it, it wasn't our call wasn't our call wasn't our call, so yeah I I think to to this.

00:26:31.253 --> 00:26:34.648
I kind of I'm really I know I'm jumping back to reagan stuff like there is.

00:26:34.648 --> 00:26:44.453
There is indication that reagan was not doing well all the way back to like uh 84, um, you know he had moments of lacking clarity.

00:26:44.453 --> 00:26:51.752
But then also in 87, when he was prepared, he crushed it and remember the social media, the constant cameras.

00:26:51.772 --> 00:26:52.655
I mean there were cameras.

00:26:52.655 --> 00:26:53.884
He's the president, so there's cameras all the time.

00:26:53.884 --> 00:27:01.336
It just wasn't the same as it is today and we call Reagan the greatest Republican president maybe ever.

00:27:01.336 --> 00:27:03.846
He's the GOAT, maybe ever, but like it's wild.

00:27:03.846 --> 00:27:16.373
That's why I'm saying, if you're a Democrat, sticking to your proverbial guns with an impaired person actually is not the worst idea, because he's going to stick to your party line, because what Reagan did, he didn't cross party lines.

00:27:16.373 --> 00:27:20.756
Nobody messed with Reagan because he always did what was expected.

00:27:20.756 --> 00:27:30.402
Now he might not have been as awesome as he was from 80 to 84, but 84 to 88, he towed the line.

00:27:30.402 --> 00:27:32.823
Anyway, that's why I'm bringing that up.

00:27:42.984 --> 00:27:46.953
I think if you're a Democrat, I think you ride it out, because you're going to have the 24-hour news cycle is going to spin and you're going to have something else be crazy important.

00:27:46.953 --> 00:27:49.057
Joe Biden will speak into it and they'll be like ah, think we're fine because you you don't have any.

00:27:49.057 --> 00:27:52.527
Um, there's no surprises with joe biden other than he might look old.

00:27:52.527 --> 00:27:55.398
That is the only surprise you have, because they have.

00:27:55.398 --> 00:27:59.435
We've seen enough body doubles of biden to see him like you know.

00:27:59.435 --> 00:28:04.652
I mean like he looks fine, you know he has to probably practice looking frail, but you know the guy with the earbes, no earlobes.

00:28:05.493 --> 00:28:12.130
Right, but if we want to keep a nation, we probably shouldn't vote for Joe Biden.

00:28:12.811 --> 00:28:14.971
Sure, but I guess what I'm saying if you're a.

00:28:15.051 --> 00:28:20.075
Democrat, it's a viable option to vote for an empty suit.

00:28:20.075 --> 00:28:24.773
And again, if Michelle Obama steps up, then I think that's a credible option, and I don't know.

00:28:24.773 --> 00:28:38.317
If she Obama steps up, then I think that's a credible option, and I don't know if she'll withhold scrutiny, but she's almost as popular as Oprah and so I feel like that's the power you have going for you is that you have somebody that's sort of an outsider, insider.

00:28:38.317 --> 00:28:40.071
She has Barack Obama in her hip pocket.

00:28:40.071 --> 00:28:44.556
It's another four years of Barack and she's got the popularity to oust.

00:28:44.576 --> 00:28:44.817
Trump.

00:28:44.817 --> 00:28:48.588
Well, the other argument is biden was another four years of barack.

00:28:48.588 --> 00:28:50.032
Sure, like that.

00:28:50.032 --> 00:28:56.471
He's part of the, the puppet mastery right yeah, yeah, yeah right no, by no means do I have any.

00:28:56.471 --> 00:28:58.076
You know firsthand knowledge of that.

00:28:58.076 --> 00:29:00.064
It's speculative, sure, best.

00:29:00.064 --> 00:29:02.248
But that is that's the thing.

00:29:02.248 --> 00:29:03.851
I don't know.

00:29:03.851 --> 00:29:08.880
I don't think she'd do good Right.

00:29:09.386 --> 00:29:11.785
I think at some point it'd be great to have viable.

00:29:11.785 --> 00:29:18.798
This goes back to if you have viable people who are competent to run the country, why not let them?

00:29:18.798 --> 00:29:36.359
Whenever you get to a bureaucratic state that has no accountability which is kind of what you're in when the guy that you elected is impaired, and so it boasts well for the party in power.

00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:50.356
When your incumbent is impaired, because there's no surprise, he's not going to flip a switch, he's not going to get afraid or have a moment of emotional barrier that he can't function in something other than he is physically unable to perform.

00:29:50.416 --> 00:29:51.990
So anyway that all that to say.

00:29:51.990 --> 00:29:52.573
I think that's about it.

00:29:52.573 --> 00:29:56.108
That's why I think that this is such an interesting conversation to sort of watch.

00:29:56.108 --> 00:30:06.955
Um, the, uh, the, the, the presidential debate come forward and then, as a Christian, I love the way you want somebody in there that can actually stand up for the country.

00:30:07.696 --> 00:30:14.817
Go toe-toe with world leaders and you would want that because it's not like the handler is going to be able to step up and talk to Vladimir Putin.

00:30:14.817 --> 00:30:20.296
It's not like the other handler is going to be like hi, I'm the bureaucrat that wrote the speech.

00:30:20.296 --> 00:30:26.536
President Xi Jinping, I think you're an idiot and I think you're screwing us over when it comes to trade.

00:30:26.536 --> 00:30:28.751
Nobody's going to listen to that guy.

00:30:28.751 --> 00:30:31.308
They're going to look at Joe Biden or whoever it is.

00:30:31.308 --> 00:30:34.294
See, he's a complete empty space cadet.

00:30:34.294 --> 00:30:37.579
And they're going to be like let's run him over, because what are they going to do?

00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:42.017
They don't have the political power to withstand.

00:30:42.125 --> 00:30:52.385
So I think that's why, you would want somebody, even if you disagree with them, which goes back to a realist stance of of international relations, where we have something, everybody wants it.

00:30:52.385 --> 00:30:54.972
They're all trying to take it away from us right, yeah, the big.

00:30:55.334 --> 00:30:57.727
The comical thing to me was what if?

00:30:57.727 --> 00:30:59.630
What if russia does this?

00:30:59.630 --> 00:31:02.055
What if iran does this?

00:31:02.055 --> 00:31:04.439
And you get this look in the camera, don't?

00:31:04.439 --> 00:31:07.308
And they do, and nothing happens, right?

00:31:07.308 --> 00:31:10.189
If Trump would have said don't, that'd be a greasy spot.

00:31:10.189 --> 00:31:13.224
Oh yeah, and everybody knew it, and they knew it.

00:31:13.579 --> 00:31:14.763
And whenever you know remember Kim.

00:31:14.763 --> 00:31:19.808
Jong-il Right, he's like hey, rocket, man.

00:31:20.381 --> 00:31:23.130
I mean like the fact that he would call him Rocket man.

00:31:23.130 --> 00:31:25.046
Oh my gosh.

00:31:25.882 --> 00:31:27.407
I can't believe this is happening.

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:29.146
They're cringing and I'm loving it.

00:31:29.146 --> 00:31:30.090
I I can't believe this is happening.

00:31:30.090 --> 00:31:31.095
They're cringing and I'm loving it.

00:31:31.095 --> 00:31:34.846
Come on I love that You've got to show the tough.

00:31:34.846 --> 00:31:36.068
Come on, rocket man.

00:31:36.068 --> 00:31:36.250
What.

00:31:39.140 --> 00:31:46.768
And the whole time Trump's calling him Rocket man, and if you watch the left they're like oh my gosh.

00:31:48.171 --> 00:31:49.623
You are going to trigger the World War III.

00:31:49.623 --> 00:31:50.048
And then he's like he just ignores that right.

00:31:50.048 --> 00:31:54.426
They're like oh my gosh, you are, you are, you are gonna trigger the world war three, right he's like he just ignores that right.

00:31:54.826 --> 00:32:04.057
And then, as soon as he flipped the script and actually sat down with the guy right with rocket man, the left switched their bill.

00:32:04.057 --> 00:32:08.566
They're, they're flipped, they're out and they're like how can you sit down and have peace talks with him?

00:32:08.566 --> 00:32:14.154
He's a civil rights up, the and Trump's like how's he going to win this?

00:32:14.154 --> 00:32:15.457
Like where's the winning?

00:32:17.862 --> 00:32:20.931
But I think that's why you want a competent, functional person.

00:32:21.090 --> 00:32:21.271
Yes.

00:32:21.339 --> 00:32:25.330
Not for domestic policy, because whatever your domestic policy, it's going to be the status quo.

00:32:25.330 --> 00:32:42.792
It's for the international policy of having to navigate the strength and protection, because one of the things that a president is is the commander-in-chief and so he is responsible for defending the country from all enemies, really foreign and domestic opposite.

00:32:42.792 --> 00:32:55.028
But that's where when you think about China, you think about Iran, you think about Russia, you think about all the conglomerates that are looking to take america down, and you're like man.

00:32:55.028 --> 00:32:57.634
Who do you want to go and do battle?

00:32:57.634 --> 00:32:58.864
And that's where I'm like man.

00:32:58.864 --> 00:33:07.819
I think at some point even the democrats at this point are going to say like I need somebody functional enough to go in and step and go toe-to-toe yep, well, and the other?

00:33:08.182 --> 00:33:12.123
my other point on that is is I think, domestically too, you have to be careful.

00:33:12.123 --> 00:33:14.007
And who's running the show?

00:33:14.007 --> 00:33:20.919
Because even though outside we could be, we could be strong, but if we're weak on the inside, there's our, our weak on the inside.

00:33:20.939 --> 00:33:21.259
What do you mean?

00:33:21.259 --> 00:33:21.580
Like?

00:33:21.861 --> 00:33:26.851
like, um, economically speaking, sure, right like 10 000 jobs lost.

00:33:26.851 --> 00:33:33.819
The first freaking year biden was in office when he pulled the pipeline that was the Keystone Pipeline, right yeah.

00:33:33.819 --> 00:33:41.809
And there's been other job losses since then, and especially talking about— Not that I don't criticize Joe Biden.

00:33:42.603 --> 00:33:44.836
The unemployment is a historically low rate under him.

00:33:44.836 --> 00:33:48.750
Yeah, it is so overall he's got—that wouldn't be your argument.

00:33:48.750 --> 00:33:51.623
In fact, the reason why— this is what's sort of wild Just only reason.

00:33:51.623 --> 00:33:58.284
I know this because I'm watching the Fed's interest rates the reason why the Feds have not cut rates is our job, Our employment history is too strong.

00:34:00.390 --> 00:34:00.810
That's a way.

00:34:00.810 --> 00:34:03.207
So we're making too much money for them to cut the rates.

00:34:03.207 --> 00:34:06.631
Yeah, yeah Well, the Fed's unconstitutional anyways, don't get me started.

00:34:06.651 --> 00:34:08.077
That's unconstitutional anyways, don't get me started on that.

00:34:08.077 --> 00:34:14.931
Fair enough, not that I'm saying that Joe Biden is awesome by any stretch, but the unemployment is at its lowest, wow yeah.

00:34:14.931 --> 00:34:17.307
It's like even lower than it was under Trump.

00:34:17.688 --> 00:34:19.646
Yep, maybe that was Trump's policy.

00:34:20.360 --> 00:34:22.007
Well, or you know.

00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:28.769
What we're feeling in other areas the interest rate's high.

00:34:28.769 --> 00:34:36.409
Back to energy, energy, energy jobs are probably at an all-time low being that tough being that they don't.

00:34:36.449 --> 00:34:49.612
They can't pump or make, we can't get more right the xl pipeline to me that that needs to be opened up and that does make fuel prices lower especially as opex, you know, shuts down supply to kind of prop up prices.

00:34:49.652 --> 00:35:08.063
If you didn't want a war in the ukraine, we wouldn't have done this with the oil, because then russia would never gotten the money from europe and europe wouldn't be sufficient on russia, because trump had made the deal where at least england was buying oil from us, or buying, uh you know, petro from us, as they call it over there.

00:35:08.063 --> 00:35:09.987
Right, but that's gasoline.

00:35:09.987 --> 00:35:21.483
But yeah, what I'm saying is is that a lot of those things that happened that made Russia strong enough to go into Ukraine couldn't, would not have happened under under Trump or another president.

00:35:21.483 --> 00:35:24.090
That wouldn't have hit the energy as hard.

00:35:24.739 --> 00:35:30.050
I don't think the world is as crazy with Donald Trump as president as it is with Joe Biden as president.

00:35:30.050 --> 00:35:31.802
It is with joe biden as president I think, they just go.

00:35:31.802 --> 00:35:33.849
He, he is again.

00:35:33.849 --> 00:35:35.653
He is unable to speak.

00:35:35.653 --> 00:35:37.579
Donald trump's on the phone with putin.

00:35:37.579 --> 00:35:39.304
Donald trump's on the phone with rocket man.

00:35:39.324 --> 00:35:47.512
Donald trump's on the phone probably even with hamas right, right like he's like I will destroy you, yeah that's right, and you know he has no israeli.

00:35:47.512 --> 00:35:49.806
The israeli army will have the.

00:35:49.806 --> 00:36:00.628
The uh, or defense force, will have the, the bombs they need to take you out, right oh yeah, yeah, that makes a difference, right, um, yeah, anyway, okay so truth it.

00:36:00.668 --> 00:36:10.280
So I think what we can say is that I think that's why this is such a fascinating sort of like story is, um, whether your guy is functional cognitive.

00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:18.748
It's helpful in the international diplomacy for a guy to be functional cognitive and people to respect him, because that's an important factor.

00:36:18.768 --> 00:36:28.927
And that's all I'd say Like at this point, even if your policies, you like the policies you're going to get, having someone that's competent, that can handle that sort of stuff, is sort of paramount.

00:36:28.927 --> 00:36:29.590
So we'll see.

00:36:29.590 --> 00:36:37.226
My, my bet is that they're just gonna go with joe biden, run them all the way through.

00:36:37.226 --> 00:36:37.827
That would be my me too.

00:36:37.827 --> 00:36:38.289
I, I don't think.

00:36:38.289 --> 00:36:42.239
I just think it's too big, it's too late, it's too big of a hurdle.

00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:51.965
Michelle obama's not coming out and even if she did, it's such a short window of time and maybe that's when you get her on the short burst of energy.

00:36:51.965 --> 00:36:56.860
Right now, she's crushing him in the polls 50% to 38%, 50% is Michelle, 38% is Trump.

00:36:58.081 --> 00:36:59.045
I don't know if that stands.

00:37:01.902 --> 00:37:07.367
We haven't seen her talk about issues as long as she doesn't say anything, she wins.

00:37:07.688 --> 00:37:11.831
I think that's where, all of a sudden, all the mics go to her.

00:37:11.831 --> 00:37:16.166
All the mics, all that attention, it's such an unknown.

00:37:16.166 --> 00:37:18.027
Do the Democrats go to a fully unknown?

00:37:18.027 --> 00:37:26.831
Even if you have Barack Obama in your back pocket, I don't think you can push her forward and say like but does the rest of this presidential campaign kill Biden?

00:37:27.900 --> 00:37:29.166
He's already over the edge.

00:37:29.166 --> 00:37:33.646
Not that I like the guy, but I kind of feel bad for him.

00:37:33.646 --> 00:37:34.648
He should be in retirement.

00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:47.989
Right, but even if he retired, the person that comes is Kamala Harris and you're just like no, there's no Democrat out there that every time she talks, they say no.

00:37:49.362 --> 00:37:49.744
Do you remember?

00:37:49.764 --> 00:38:04.539
dan quayle yeah, oh, all right, it feels like okay, you know, it feels like the uh democratic equivalent dan quayle like every time dan quayle's like potato, like, like spelling words, like the jokes.

00:38:04.539 --> 00:38:05.621
Back in what?

00:38:05.621 --> 00:38:08.967
Was it 19, the late 80s early 90s was just just so bad.

00:38:08.967 --> 00:38:14.440
Dan Quayle was just the ultimate joke, and I think that's what you're seeing, didn't?

00:38:14.460 --> 00:38:16.007
he shoot somebody in a hunting accident.

00:38:18.806 --> 00:38:19.789
No, that was Bush's.

00:38:19.789 --> 00:38:21.422
That was the other Bush.

00:38:21.422 --> 00:38:23.309
Yeah, that was George W Bush.

00:38:23.309 --> 00:38:26.644
He didn't shoot him, he got shot on what's his name.

00:38:27.827 --> 00:38:28.188
