where you can text us. Just make it count, my friends. Most
of you do, some of you don't. It's a once in a lifetime
opportunity, so think it through and make it count. So you know,
there's a common theme, a common refrain that's been out there for a long
time, and this debate that's coming up on Thursday night. This debate is
here to, I guess, give us opportunity to resume this common discussion.
In fact, there's a piece that I have in the stack of stuff today
at totofshow dot com, a piece that's in the stack of stuff which I'm
going to get to today, which we're going to talk about here off off
of the top of the program. But is there a chance this is a
spectator? Dot org is the website Spectator, the American spectator. Spectator dot
org is the website. It's listed in the stack of stuff if you want
to see it at todepshow dot com headline. Here could a Biden debate disaster
propel Newsom to the nomination? You could take Newsom's name out specifically here,
although it could be Newsome. And this is another form of the age old
discussion and pontification and prognostication and prediction that Biden will not either a complete his
term as first term as president, which he's all but done. Biden's not
going to be, the predicators say, not going to be the nominee for
the Democrat Party in twenty twenty four. There are still people who stand by
this. Hec Vivek Ramaswami was out there saying that this debate, they wanted
to move it earlier. The Democratic National Committee wanted to move it earlier so
that they could basically give Biden. It's like a job, it's like an
interview. It's like a fine interview. If Biden goes out on the stage
and completely flops, then so goes the argument. People in the Democrat Party
are going to say, look, there's no way this guy can win.
We're going to have to come up with the plan B and then nominate,
which they can do, by the way, nominate someone else besides Biden.
Even though the people have cast their ballots for Biden, he's won the nomination
by votes in the primary and caucus process, that doesn't mean that the folks
at the convention cannot change their vote based upon something like Biden being incapable from
a cognitive or mental capability perspective of fulfilling the role of President of the United
States. So that can happen. But will it happen? Will it happen?
There's been a lot of, what I want to say, predictions that
this would happen for a long time. In fact, I've heard even for
many of you giving dates. I don't think Biden will make it past whatever
Labor Day of twenty twenty three. The first two years, he won't make
it to the mid term elections or whatever he's done all of that. There
were some people who thought he wouldn't finish the first six months of his campaign
center of his term in office. This reminds me too of Trump. I
remember, and you can go back and look, I remember talking about this.
There were people that predicted that Trump would not serve more than one hundred
days in office. In fact, I remember someone saying it would be the
second shortest stint of a president ever after William Henry Harrison passed away shortly after
getting into the office. Back what was he the ninth president? Is that
right? Something like that? Anyway, So that's a common discussion point,
and I want to talk about that today. So before we do that,
though, my friends, you know that we all are ultimately responsible for our
own health. Diets a big part of that, exercises a big part of
that, and supplements health supplements can also be an important part of that.
We're not necessarily getting all of the nutritional value in our food today, even
if we eat, even if We're very particular in what we eat. It
can be hard sometimes to get the proper amount of nutrients, macros and everything
else in our food supply, so sometimes it's wise to turn to supplements,
and so we've partnered with z Stack. Z Stack. It's a trusted brand

to this article here at the American Spectator again at Spectator dot org. This
is in the stack of stuff at toddufshow dot com. Hat tip to the
late Great Rush Limball. Could a Biden debate disaster propel Newsom to denomination?
The debate will put Biden's diminished mental electricity on full display. So Biden is
here for well, Biden's going to be up there on the debate stage,
and so the theory goes here that everybody is going to see Biden for who
he truly is. Trump. It's a little bit different than the State of
the Union address. Biden was just reading off a teleprompter for roughly ninety minutes
at that time. This is not a back and forth with Trump. They've
tried to insulate him a little bit by the rules, by the rules that
they've agreed to. They want Trump's microphone, both sides agreed to this,
by the way, but they want the microphone shut off of the opposing person
so that they can complete their thought. But Obviously Trump excels in this format.
The more it feels like a metaphorical street fight, the better that Trump
typically does comes up with these one liners on the spot wrong right, Remember
the sorts of things where the nicknames come out or some sort of an insult
and a one liner hits it just the right time. I mean, Trump's
the master of that. So a lot of that's going to go away,
and I think that that's going to be a bigger factor then we might realize
to see that on full display, where there won't be that capability if they
follow the rules and if the mics are shut off, you're going to lose
some of that. You're also going to lose some of the entertainment factor which
this draws in people who don't normally watch these things, which, as weird
as it might sound, I think is a good thing for the country.
I don't think we should turn it into American gladiators or American Ninja Warrior or
something, although that's what Biden seems to want to do, have push up
contests and everything else, as he's challenged people in the past to things like
that. But I do think that when these are entertaining, and I don't
mean like slapstick comedy shows. I just mean there's something going on there to
attract the average American. That's a good thing because one of the things we
need in this country is for average Americans, for all Americans to be engaged,
or at least as many as possible, aware, engaged, and active
making sure that we hold our elected representatives accountable. So so there's going to
be that that's going to help Biden, right, where Trump can't just jump
in and really throw Biden for a loop. But in spite of all of
that, the expectation, and I agree with this, is that anybody who's
unbiased is going to likely see a massive difference between Trump and Biden, not
just based upon their style and personalities, not as based upon their policies.
But I do believe that there's going to be a difference in perceived competence.
This is why Trump's out there saying the only way Biden's getting through a debate
is if they pump this guy full of drugs or something that gets him jacked
up for ninety minutes. That's why I'm going to subject myself to a drug
test if he does, right. That's why all that rhetoric's going on,
and so it's possible that Biden gets through relatively unscathed, especially with some of
the rules that are in place that make the debate a little less chaotic,
that make it more structured, that at least in theory, that can help
Biden stay on task a little bit, a little bit easier. So that's
what the conventional wisdom is, Hey, this is going to be obvious and
the Democrats are going to have to do something about this. So that's kind
of where this piece starts off. Democrats must know Thursday's debate could be a
disaster for Joe Biden. After all, the president can't go anywhere without tripping
over himself with quote gaffes that are really the result of his prolonged cognitive decline.
A comparison with Biden's performance in the debates from twenty twenty will only accentuate
the obviousness of his mental collapse. And so basically that's that's the part.
The point of this piece is to say, look, if it's if it
is as bad as it can be, if it is as bad in reality
as I can envision it being, then what are the Democrats going to do?
Are they going to continue to push this guy out there. Are they
going to nominate him officially at their convention here in whatever it is, a
couple well in August now a couple of months away, or are they going
to somehow just acknowledge that their candidate has clear deficiencies mental lack of mental fitness
and so forth, and say we have to go a different route, and
then that opens up the possibilities She's mentioned here in her piece, Gavin Newsome.
But again, the the one that they're holding out the most hope for
is Michelle Obama. And again some people think she's playing games, that she
really wants the role, but she's been pretty consistent. She's consistently refused to
take the offer to be the party's nominee, and that appears to be where
she's where she finds herself today. The other another person that they I think
I think would fawn over would be Oprah Winfrey, but it's gonna it would
be someone like that. So to me, the first problem is I've shared
on here with you before. There is no bench, right, there is
no bench. You look down the bench and you look at who's sitting there,
and there's no obvious choice there's no obvious candidates. Gavin Newsom, she
mentions her in her piece, is that really the best choice? This guy
has managed California, which you could say, Look, it's one of the
greatest economies in the entire world, right, I mean, this is California.
This this country has a better, stronger GDP economy than a lot of
countries have. I mean, it's up at the top. Just list.
If you pull that out on its own, it can hold its own.
I would say that's in spite of Gavin Newsom, in spite of what they've
tried to do. In fact, I would point out many of the flaws
in the way that he's governed and led his state. They're at a budget
deficit, They've got all sorts of problems regarding I mean things like well,
things like managing power lines as they pertain to forest fires, the out of
control laws and regulations. You know. I talked with people here in my
state, fellow business owners, and it can be tough to run a business
in any state, right. Sometimes the law is just not business friendly.
I think maybe anywhere, but especially in California. I can't imagine trying to
start a business in California We have some partners on this program who are based
in California, and I ask them about some of these things, and some
of them are, you know, people who I've just had other conversations with.
And there are real challenges to running a business in California, and that's
because of policies that are enacted, that are led, that are pushed by
people like Gavin Newsome. The tax rates outlandishly high, the amount of homelessness
and problems that they have in certain places like San Francisco, the sanctuary state
position, of course, the mess that's caused in Los Angeles due to illegal
immigration, which of course they want to stop that, while at the same
time telling you that they care so much about people and they will make Los
Angeles a sanctuary city, California a sanctuary state. I mean, in a
lot of ways, a lot of ways. Gavin Newsom I maintained that that
Biden is effectively one of the most leftist presidents that we've had. If you
listen to what he says, he doesn't sound like that. But if you
look at if you look at the things that he's doing, if you look
at how he's weaponized the Department of Justice, I mean this is what lovers
of big government do. I think that this is a very this is a
stalinistic type of a move. So I think he's certainly amongst the most radically
left that we've had in practice, maybe not in true ideology, but in
practice. And so, but the average American is not a leftist. They're
not prepared for some of the things on a national level that people like Gavin
Newsom have proposed have tried to execute in their respective city, states or whatever.
But in Newsom's case in particular, this would put the radical left agenda
basically right there on the national stage, and it's not a popular ideology.
Now, they would avoid some of the other problems they have now, which
is a candidate that can't that's clearly not capable. But I think that they
run into problems here as well, and they run into problems everywhere on down
the line. From Elizabeth Warren, who pretends to be a Native American,
I can say that because I am documented to be the thirteenth great grandson of
Pocahontas, so I can say that I also have no problems with people calling
her Pokahonas. She's the one that's made a deal out of something that shouldn't
even matter in American politics, pretending to be Native American. She's on that
list. Pete boot Edge Edge, Pete Boodhage Edge has looked completely incompetent as
the Transportation secretary. Who, my friends, is on the list. Amy
Klobuchar, she was running for president in twenty sixteen. I haven't seen her.
She's vanished from the national stage. Bernie Sanders. The Democrat Party hates
Bernie Sanders. They know he's not electable either. He's the nutty professor.
But that's a He's not even a Democrat right now. He's technically an independent.
He only becomes a Democrat every four years when he decides to run for
the Democrat Party's nomination for president. Who is the candidate? I mean,
where are they Beto or Rourke? Is he going to come back on the
scene. Who is this person? I just don't think that they have one.
So that's a big problem. Now. If Biden comes up and really
embarrasses himself on Thursday night on the debate stage, these conversations, which by
the way, have certainly happened, have transpired. They will continue to happen.
There might be more, you know, more rigorous debate behind closed doors
and the Democrat party power structure. But the bottom line is they still don't
have an obvious choice, and they still don't have someone that the American people
are going to openly just rally behind. You know, you can't go scorched
earth against Donald Trump. You can't go scorched earth against I would say,
I would say the American way of life. You can't go scorched earth and
go completely open border. You can't go scorched earth and destroy the economy through
inflation and just simply think that you can change all that, wipe that away
with a new candidate. It's the same party, it's the same ideas,
it's the same beliefs. So more to say about this as we talk about
the debate in general. But they've still got a massive problem about this.
But my friends, you know that I've talked with you about Harvard Gold Group
for some time. Harvard Gold Group is here to help you with your gold
and silver, your precious metal needs. I mentioned on here that gold has
outperformed the S and P five hundred and the DOW since nineteen seventy one.

sense to add gold to your portfolio. There's lots of reasons to consider doing

So you know, I agree in large part that the Democrat Party with
this article. The Democrat Party is in a mess. They're in disarray.
They're hoping that Biden can somehow not embarrass himself on the debate stage, but
there exists a very real possibility that he will embarrass himself. And more importantly,
they don't care so much that he embarrasses himself. They care that he
embarrasses the Democrat Party because again, it's hard to clamor and argue for more
government when the people who are clamoring for more government don't have their act together,
right. So that's a problem. So you've got to look like you
know what you're doing, you have your own act together, so that you
can take over everyone else's act. That's kind of the idea, and so
that is at risk with Biden. But again, if there's no bench,
where do you turn? Is Gavin Newsom the next best option? Are they
still clamoring and begging Michelle Obama? What about someone like Oprah Winfrey. I
don't know. I don't know, but I do know this. There's been
predictions about this for a long time, and I know, you know,
I think about this sometimes. You know, I could go on this show
and we could pontificate, and I think some people in enjoy this, I
mean, and they listen to people who make all these predictions. How many
people have predicted things like this, predicted that you know, Biden wasn't going
to finish his first term, or he wasn't going to be the nominee,
he wasn't going to make it past the Labor Day or whatever. It's fine
to have these ideas and opinions, but to stake a claim in the ground
and for it not to happen, and then to come back only then to
say, well, next year it won't be the case or next month.
This is one of my problems with the people who have I talked about,
you know, the election integrity stuff. And I don't mean the people who
raise the questions, but people who have made predictions. Oh man, if
you just wait until next month, the lid's going to be blown off of
this thing. Everybody's going to be exposed. We got them right. This
is this sort of talk happens every every time it's always tomorrow, it's always
next week, it's always next month, next year. Just wait. Well,
we can't just wait. We don't have the ability for life to have
a pause button these things. Time moves along. The debate is going to
happen as scheduled. Election day will arrive as scheduled. Candidates for the election
have to be on the ballots at certain times. I mean, there are
realities here and people. I don't know how people can listen on a regular
basis to people who make dire prediction. You know, these these bold predictions
that never that never come true, unless they just want to be entertained,
just to be have some mental exercise. Oh that'd be interesting. No,
I don't care about what's interesting. I mean I do care about what's interesting,
right, I mean, we talk about things that I find interesting,
But that's not the main driver. I care about what's interesting. That matters.
I care ultimately about saving this country. That's what I care about.
Care about saving this country. So anyway, my friends, I'm long in
this segment. Got to shut up and take a break, quick time out
back in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. I'm want to
shift gears a little bit here. I don't look, but we talked about
last segment. Certainly is a possibility. I certainly believe that it could happen.
The Democrats are not idiots, and by the way, they have complete
it's up to them. I mean, they can decide to do this.
I just simply want to point out that this has been something that has been
promised for a long time, something similar to this. Biden was not going
to finish the first term, or be the nominee or anything else, and
we've gone through all those dates and predictions and so forth. I still think
the safest bed is to assume that Biden is going to remain the nominee.
Now, I also believe that there's a possibility that he would not be the
nominee. But then they're still faced They the Democrat Party, are still face
with a massive problem as to who they pick. In reality, it's not
just some theoretical exercise where they can say, well, yeah, we don't
want Biden to be the guy, because he's an absolute train wreck. He's
got a he's got a record. Now it's a record that we can't defend.
He's clearly not capable of doing the job. Average Americans now realize this.
He's the butt of jokes. I mean, you know, when this
stuff gets its way into pop culture and find its way to the low information
voter, as Rush used to say, it creates problems for the Democrat Party.
And so they I know that they understand it. But it's not just
enough to say, well, this guy's clearly not our guy. There has
to be someone else, right, There has to be someone else, And
since they can't yet quite turn to AI to be their candidates, which I'm
sure will be coming at some point in the future, some AI candidate.
As I've shared on here before, there was a gentleman in I think he
was in England that's starting an AI. He's using AI to communicate with his
constituents and then letting AI basically tell him what certain policies should be. That's
another discussion for another day. But we've we've got to deal with the real
people, and there's not a clear cut choice. She mentions Gavin Newsom in
the article. I think that that's I mean, ideologically a major a major
problem, a major problem. And part of the reason is for what I'm
gonna play here. I'm gonna play here now this is townhall dot COM's where
I found this headline. CNN's Van Jones explains explains why the Obama coalition is
collapsing right now. Van Jones is, I mean, Van Jones is a
radical leftist, I mean, I basically a communist. But he's out here
explaining politically what's going on and why there are so many electoral problems for Biden
right now. And so he talks about what's called this Obama coalition. Right
when Obama was elected in eight In twenty twelve, he had a coalition of
voters that the left, the left has basically forced the modern Democrat Party to
not go after. In fact, there was a time after the twenty twelve
election where or sometime around there where it was kind of accepted, maybe even
after the twenty ten midterms, when a lot of these blue dog Democrats were
raced from the scene because they supported Obamacare, and so people in conservative or
at least not radical districts, those Democrats lost their seats because the people in
their districts didn't want Obamacare and so and so there's really not such a thing
as a blue dog Democrat anymore. And the Democrat Party largely admitted to abandoning
blue dog Democrat or Reagan Republican. And what I mean by that is really
these conservative Democrats. It's really not a thing anymore. Democrat has become synonymous
with the radical left. Now that's not always the case. Certainly, my
dad's been a Democrat. He's a Union Democrat. He's far crive from the
radical left. A lot of these Union Democrats are nothing but conservatives who vote
for Democrats because they trust Democrats on the issue of labor. They don't trust
Republicans in big business. They think that they're going to drive down their wages
and hurt their families and so forth, which I can respect. I don't
agree, but I respect that. These aren't people that are unhints. These
aren't people that hate their country. These aren't people who are against the Second
Amendment. These aren't people who are snowflakes. They're not part of the cancel
culture right. They believe in the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech.
They embrace America has found that I was raised in a very patriotic home.
It's a Union Democrat home. There are still plenty of people rank and
file that fall under that umbrella, but in positions of power and in the
elected offices, the people who run offices, who run campaigns, who have
the political power, the vast majority of them are a vowed leftists. In
fact, if you listen and take notes of the things that they've been caught
by people like Project Veritas saying, it's always, it's always that they're more
radical than they want the people who vote for them to know. And it's
because of reasons like this. It's because this country is still a center right
country. It's not a radically left country, and that's where candidate like Gavin
Newsom's gonna have problems. So I got this clip from Van Jones. It's
about ninety seconds long. I'll get to that in a minute. But before
I do that, my friends, let me remind you Nick Knack Naturals is

Todd saves you fifteen percent. So, as I promised here, let's listen
to Van Jones and as you listen to this. As you listen to this,
I mean, Van jones beliefs and ideas are dangerous, But there's actually
things I like about Van Jones. I do think. I do think he's
deadly wrong on these things, just way off the mark wrong, And he
endorses an ideology that has created dictatorships around the world that have killed million,
hundreds of millions of people. So, but that being said, I do
think that he's honest in his assessment here. So as you think about the
debates, and you think about Bidens as a candidate, you think about this
debate that is about to happen on Thursday, and you think, what are
the Democrats supposed to do if Biden flops? Can they replace him with somebody?
Just listen to this and the people that the Democrat Party has have lost
over time, which is compounding this electoral problem that they have. So this
is Van Jones explaining to us. This is called the Milken Institute's Global Conference,
by the way, where he's answering this question. But he's explaining a
little bit about the Obama coalition that helped elect Obama in twenty eight, twenty
eight and twenty twelve and how this is at risk of basically collapsing for Biden
today here it is does seem to be appealing to significant numbers and particularly lat
scene the voters, but also Black men. What's going on. The Obama
Biden coalition is in trouble. It's in trouble, and I get beat up
every time I say it, but you know, it's obviously it's in trouble,
and it has to do with a number of things. Number One,
the white working class guys left for your campaign in twenty sixteen the Democratic Party,
and now black and Latin working class guys are falling along and they don't
have to follow in massive numbers against razor edge stuff. So I mean,
let's the vast majority of Black people are going to vote for President Biden,
the vast majority of Black women are going to vote for President Biden, the
vast majority of Black men are going to vote for preident Biden. But that's
not the point. The point is you have a origin that is hurting and
uncertain among Black and Latin men as to whether we have a place in this
party. It's not easy to talk about, but there is a sense among
a lot of guys that you talk to that they're just tired of being lectured,
tired of being wrong, tired of being criticized, tired of being called
toxic, tired of, frankly, a lot of other groups getting more out
of Biden administration than black books got. So that's his explanation there is for
what is happening with this the coalition that helped elect Obama back in twenty two,
thousand and eight and twenty twelve. He's sitting on stage by the way
with Kelly and Conway. So when he says your campaign got this vote or
portion of this vote in twenty sixteen, this blue collar vote, talking about
Trump's twenty sixteen campaign, he's right on that. And so that the problem
is is that the rhetoric that is spewed by these devoted leftists who have taken
over the Democrat Party in large part, at least the elected offices. They're
the loudest, they have a lot of power. They don't always win.
Jamal Bowman just lost his primary in New York in spite of AOC up there
putting on a concert or whatever. She was embarrassing what she was doing up
there anyway. So this is the reality. And so you bring in a
candidate like a Gavin Newsom or even a Bernie Sanders, and these folks that
they're already losing to Trump. Now, is that candidacy going to bring in
more Will it push more of these folks away? That's a very real problem.
And I appreciate the candor and the transparency here by Van Jones, because
I do think that that's this is the calculation. So got to take a
break, care of my friends. Sit tight. You're listening to conservative not
bitter talk. I'm the man behind the microphone. Here, the benevolent dictator
back in just a minute. Here we are in the last segment of this
hour of the Todhove Show. I know it's tough. I know it's tough
to get to this last segment of the hour. I don't blame you.
I listened sometimes to clips of things and I think, man, oh man,
what a lucky, lucky audience that exists out there that listens to this
program. But here we are, in the last segment. I want to
shift gears yet again talking about something that well, it's being echoed. It's
being echoed. That's something you've heard on this program several weeks ago. Is
being echoed by an NBA great that I have to conclude his listening to the
program. That's the only thing I can conclude is that he has to be

would say, see I told you so. That was the name of one
of his books. I don't do that because, of course that would be
that would be uncouth, my friends. But with that being said, see
I told you so. NBA legend Magic Johnson wais in the Caitlin Clark Angel
Reese rivalry is great for the WNBA. Of course we know this, but
specifically, if you read the article and I don't have the SoundBite here.
Magic Johnson, who I set on this program sometime sometime ago. His rivalry
with Larry Bird in the nineteen eighties, well it started back in nineteen seventy
nine when they played one another for the National championship, Magic of course playing
for Michigan State in Larry Bird of course playing for Indiana State competing for the
National championship. It was a rivalry. I mean, it was a great
rivalry, a great rivalry. And if you remember, or if you've read,
I was a tiny fella in those days, so I don't remember.
I just have read and familiarized myself with the story. But the background is
the NBA was in trouble in those days. The NBA was in big trouble.
They have two guys come into the league who have a rivalry, who
are both incredible players, arguably both top ten NBA basketball players of all time.
They both are players that people want to watch. Magic Johnson and the
showtime era for the Los Angeles Lakers, Larry Bird and his clutch performances and
trash talking with the Boston Celtics. It was great for the sport and as
a result, I went through this when we talked about Caitlin Clark and Angel
Reese and all that stuff. I don't know a month or so ago,
is my guess, but there's a lot of similarities between what happened, how
those two helped put the NBA onto to solid ground, how contracts beg to
become bigger because more people began to watch the NBA. It became a product
that people cared about, connected with, wanted to follow. I talked about
some of those things. I talked about the intensity of the rivalry. I
talked about the intensity of the game back in the eighties, where players would
I mean, it was a different game than it was today. There'd be
fist fights and I don't even know the technicals arose from all of the fist
fights, let alone someone getting ejected and endless reviews on the monitor whether somebody
hit someone too hard or whatever. The case may be just a different world,
and fans loved it, and fans loved it. But magic is out
there. So he said this. Larry and I talking about Bird heightened the
NBA's overall popularity. The Lakers and Celtics sold out arenas throughout the league and
increased television viewership exponentially. The higher viewership numbers led to NBA to the NBA
signing significant larger TV contracts, which then led to the higher salaries for the
players. Caitlin and Angel are now doing these same things, selling out arenas
and increasing the viewership. They have taken women's basketball by storm, and with
expiring TV deals on the horizon, the WNBA is now in a position to
negotiate hire TV contracts, hire TV contracts which then lead to higher salaries.
You know, you got the They're doing the same thing basically. So I
just wanted to point that out, and I can only conclude after reading those
words that Magic Johnson listens to this program. So welcome Magic to the program.
I appreciate it. Guys, have a great day. Thanks so much
for listening. We will talk again soon. SDG
