Email Should you want to be part of 8 00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.880 the conversation Todd at Tothoffshow dot com. Three one seven two one zero twenty 9 00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:55.479 eight point thirty is how you can get us by text and again, it's 10 00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:02.920 good to be here this and we're moving quickly through through the month of February. 11 00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:04.840 Here I will tell you that we are in this week, and we 12 00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.760 are in next week. I will be out, I know, just go 13 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:15.000 ahead and get the sobbing out. I will be out of town the week 14 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:21.560 of February what is that twenty sixth, So we'll have some guest hosts filling 15 00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:26.480 in that week. I think it'll be an interesting group of hosts filling in 16 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.000 Chris Dunham will be here, which I know many of you have heard Christian 17 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.640 and I have. Well, he's filled in for me for a long long 18 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.319 time Senator John Crane here from the state of Indiana. And the first time 19 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.159 guest host, Gary Varvill, who I've interviewed on when we had our television 20 00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:51.599 show, but first time I've handed over the reins of the microphone to Gary, 21 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:57.400 who I'm sure we'll do a good job. Gary is a syndicated cartoonist 22 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.519 and has some really good work. So we'll be filling in, or they 23 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.760 will be filling in, I should say here in a couple of weeks, 24 00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.840 but that's not that's just a couple weeks out. I just wanted to kind 25 00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.800 of set the stage here as I'm thinking about the month of February. Let's 26 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:17.080 talk about where we are in the political cycle. The political cycle is, 27 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:23.080 of course where now we're now starting to pick up momentum as we get into 28 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:30.000 the primary, further into the primary. Trump is of course, Trump is 29 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:35.599 of course the I mean, we have to assume that he is going to 30 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.080 be the nominee. I think no matter what we've said this consistently, it's 31 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:44.800 a foregone conclusion. I don't know why Nicki Haley's still even running, but 32 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:51.680 she's still on the ballot, even though she's getting beaten by literally nobody. 33 00:02:51.719 --> 00:02:54.800 People prefer the name No One or no one else on this ballot to Nicki 34 00:02:54.840 --> 00:03:00.960 Haley two to one, which is remarkable in the state of Nevada. So, 35 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:05.280 but there's a lot of developments here as we begin to pick up speed. 36 00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.840 Right We've gotten through the Iowa caucuses, We've gotten through the New Hampshire 37 00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:16.039 primary. We've gotten through the Nevada primary, which again was really just a 38 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.520 formality because that's not where the delegates were awarded. Those were awarded to the 39 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.800 to the caucus winner. So we're through that. Now we've got I mean, 40 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.840 South Carolina Super Tuesday is not that far off. I mean, we 41 00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:37.439 are really starting to catch you know, we're halfway through the first quarter of 42 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.599 twenty twenty four. By the way, talking about the first quarter here, 43 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.960 I just want to touch on this. I don't want to go back into 44 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.039 this in great detail. We've talked about these sorts of things, not this 45 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:53.479 particular headline, but we've talked about the border in great detail in the past 46 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.680 weeks. Here's a headline just thenews dot com. Highest number of apprehensions in 47 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.280 US history. That's right, my friend's, highest number of apprehensions in US 48 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:11.400 history at the southwest border in the first quarter of fiscal year twenty twenty four. 49 00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:17.519 They totaled seven hundred eighty five thousand and four one hundred twenty two greater 50 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:24.600 than the individual population of three states, Wyoming, Vermont, and Alaska. 51 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.199 Just let that sink in for a moment. But again, I don't want 52 00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:30.439 to get into that. I'm just saying that these are all the issues. 53 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.480 We're gonna begin to hear more about this as we get into campaign sees. 54 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:38.240 You're gonna hear more about it from Trump, You're gonna hear more about it 55 00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:45.839 from voters. You're gonna hear Biden. Eventually, he's gonna have to he's 56 00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:49.560 gonna have to do something about this, and he's trying to make it look 57 00:04:49.600 --> 00:05:00.160 like he's doing something. Sorry the throat, I'm fine. I just have 58 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.240 this cough. That's I tell you, what's the second time I've had at 59 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:08.079 this this winter. Not very happy about it, But what do you do? 60 00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:14.800 So that's going on out there as as well. But let's start. 61 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:26.199 Let's start here by looking at this conversation, it's becoming more and more serious. 62 00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:34.800 The conversation within the Democrat Party piece here at townhall dot com over over 63 00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:43.279 the weekend. On Saturday, headline is as follows, are Democrats taking a 64 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:49.160 Biden replacement more seriously? Now? Now I know, I know because I've 65 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:55.240 heard from you. I pay attention. Some of you have thought this for 66 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.360 a long time. Some of you have thought. In fact, I remember 67 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.000 hearing from one of you, one in ptenicular. I mean, I've heard 68 00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.800 from many of you on this, but one in particular said it was going 69 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.600 to be Labor Day, Labor Day of twenty twenty three, they were going 70 00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.600 to replace replace Biden. That was his last day. You know, I've 71 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:23.160 always been open to this, but I've also always been I don't know a 72 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:28.240 little bit, a little bit more what bearish on this, because again, 73 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:35.199 the reality is the reality is that there is there is no good option for 74 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:41.759 the Democrat Party. Now there is if you look at the Democrat candidates and 75 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:46.560 you look at just what their impact would be on the United States if they 76 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.839 were president, and you could take any number of you know of a list 77 00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:56.439 of people here from Biden to Kamala to Pocahontas, which again I can say 78 00:06:56.439 --> 00:07:00.480 because I'm documented to be the thirteenth great grandson of Pocahontas and have established myself 79 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:05.800 as the self appointed spokesperson of the family. You can look at Pete boot 80 00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.519 Edge Edge, you could look at Gavin Newsom, you could look at I 81 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.839 mean, who else we got out there. Michelle Obama is the one that 82 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:17.360 they really really want. Maybe Oprah, they would go for Oprah as well. 83 00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:21.360 But you start looking at these candidates and the truth is they have they 84 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:29.480 have nobody. They have nobody that they can even use to kind of manipulate 85 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.639 or uh that's that they can use to kind of create a narrative that we 86 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:38.279 can all get around to, you know, to support. Of course I 87 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:40.720 wouldn't and you wouldn't. But this is what they look at. They look 88 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:45.120 at who's who's got the story, Who's got the identity politics side of it? 89 00:07:45.959 --> 00:07:49.240 You know, who's the right gender, the right race. How can 90 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.959 they promote that? How can they make it about anything besides what you are 91 00:07:54.120 --> 00:08:00.680 experiencing in your life as an American, especially economically. I would throw in 92 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.360 I would throw in the border security issue as well, and you look at 93 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:13.319 this and they think and the average person unless you distract them with something that 94 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.920 is not really relevant to the political race. They have no candidates, even 95 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.560 with Joe Biden. And I'm not here to say that Joe Biden is the 96 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:28.000 best candidate on paper, but what I am saying is that they have no 97 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.799 viable backup. The only one and it sounds like they are completely just begging 98 00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.320 her to run is Michelle Obama. And again maybe like an Oprah, an 99 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:46.600 Oprah Winfrey, that's these are the choices. And so the reality is all 100 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.600 those people are bad for America now, whether the Democrat Party thinks that they 101 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:54.960 can use them, the trick Americans into voting for them because of some superficial 102 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:00.440 issue because Oprah, you know, had a talk show and you had this 103 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.320 bond with people, whether Michelle Obama, you know, Michelle Obama. When 104 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.679 your first lady's first lady, my friends, you know, there's there's not 105 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:18.039 a lot you can avoid a lot of negative press because you're not really in 106 00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:24.960 the well unless you're Millennia Trump because again demonization by association there, but normally 107 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.360 first ladies are you know, there's not a lot of negativity. They're out 108 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:33.879 there promoting you know, reading in schools, or they're they're they've got some 109 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.440 some project that is not very controversial. It's something that everybody can kind of 110 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.320 get behind. It's one of these feel good sorts of things. People care 111 00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:48.759 about what they wear, how they decorated the White House for Christmas or whatever 112 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:54.840 else, right, and so that's typically how that how that sets up. 113 00:09:54.399 --> 00:10:01.039 And so it's it's hard. It's Michelle pol Obama is liked by a lot 114 00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:05.519 of people because she's never really had to come out, and she has on 115 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.519 some occasion, I don't want to say that she hasn't. And for those 116 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.279 of us that follow it, we know which side of the issue she's she's 117 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:16.200 going to be on. For the Americans that only care about the cult personality, 118 00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.519 for the Americans that only care about the identity, the gender, the 119 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:28.240 race, the sexual preference slash orientation, whatever, For the people that care 120 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:33.080 about that more than they care about issues, which is just maddening and dumbfounding 121 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.639 to me. But those are the people that can be that can be swayed. 122 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.000 And there's more of those people than I care to admit. But there's 123 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:43.799 a lot of people who would say I would vote for her because she seems 124 00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.039 nice and everything else. And I you know, I can I can understand. 125 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.279 It's it's crazy, but I can understand why the Democrats think, Man, 126 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.240 we can get a candidate potentially that just you know, people people want 127 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:01.679 to support. That's a powerful start point. They don't have that anymore with 128 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.679 Biden, even if people wanted to support Biden. And I'm saying this, 129 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.720 I'm removing myself. I'm trying to be as unbiased and just straightforward as I 130 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:16.120 can here without my own opinions. But I think the truth of the matter 131 00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:22.840 is they've lost whatever they've had with that right and the reality is that this 132 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.960 guy they're now questioning. They the media, it's being questioned everywhere now whether 133 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.399 or not he's even mentally fit. It's being asked within the party. And 134 00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:37.919 so some people, some people are of the opinion that Michelle Obama is going 135 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:41.600 to be ushered in here, that's a possibility. Beyond that, I don't 136 00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.799 know who they turned to. There's another piece in the stack of stuff talking 137 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:52.960 about Kamala Harris, and the piece is basically this is really super summarizing it 138 00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:58.360 here, because there's of course more to it, but this this piece effectively 139 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:05.440 said that Kamala Harris is well. Tom Cotton is who tweeted this out. 140 00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.399 Tom Cotton said, let's call it like it is. Kamala Harris was chosen 141 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:15.039 because she's twenty fifth Amendment insurance, basically saying, the Biden administration picked the 142 00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:18.799 vice president that nobody likes, which no one does like Kamala Harris. I 143 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:24.840 mean, her approval ratings are less lower than lower than Biden's. It's at 144 00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:26.679 thirty five and a half, I think, is what we saw. And 145 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:31.720 remember, she's behind the scenes. She's not doing anything. I mean, 146 00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.399 I know she's supposed to be down there trying to figure out why people from 147 00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.759 poor and oppressive countries want to come to the United States of America. I'm 148 00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.759 still waiting on that report. It's going to take her years to figure it 149 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.840 out. That mind boggling piece of trivia. But she can't understand why people 150 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:54.639 are fleeing these places that are run by corrupt politicians, where there aren't there 151 00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:01.440 isn't as much opportunity, where there is poverty and crime and things that are 152 00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:05.279 not pleasant. And Kamala is still trying to figure that out as to why 153 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:07.000 they would want to come here, and you know, to the left, 154 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.759 that makes sense, because they hate this country. You would have to That's 155 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.360 not even enough reason for many leftists to understand why someone would flee a country. 156 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.120 They need more than that. They got to dig deeper, They got 157 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.919 to have some expert explain it even more clearly, because they have a fundamental 158 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:33.399 hatred of this country as it was founded, as it is constitutionally built. 159 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:39.320 But she's you know again, people are saying that she provides him insulation because 160 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:46.279 now if something's done with Biden, right, there's a reluctance because now if 161 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:50.279 he's removed from from office, or if they talk him into resigning, or 162 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:54.039 if they say, hey, it's clear that this guy's not capable, let's 163 00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.320 now actually implement the twenty fifth Amendment here. If they do something like that, 164 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.080 she is the choice. She's the de facto choice. She is the 165 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:07.080 vice president. Now, whether someone else is running for reelection, that's another 166 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.080 issue to be had, but she's she's the person. This term, my 167 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.679 friends, this term doesn't end until January till about a year from now, 168 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:18.840 right, So she's so there's all these things that are going on out there, 169 00:14:18.759 --> 00:14:24.960 and I think, I think now I think now, and you've you've 170 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.960 noticed that I've been I may have hinted at this, I've talked about this 171 00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:35.799 on occasion, but I think now the conversations are getting quite serious. I 172 00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.840 think that now, and I've I've been again reluctant about this all along. 173 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:45.080 In fact, I even remember, I think I believe Rush before he passed 174 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.399 that he thought that Biden wouldn't even finish his first term. I never got 175 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:54.159 to that point. I never got to that point. Now I understand why 176 00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:58.679 people did, because surely, to heaven, if we would have predicted the 177 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:05.600 things that we're seeing happen in this administration on a daily basis. And I'm 178 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.320 not even just talking the absolute abject failures of the administration. I mean just 179 00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:16.080 Biden trying to put together a sentence. I mean, it is undeniable at 180 00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:22.080 this point, it is absolutely undeniable. But where do they turn? But 181 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.200 where do they turn? Remember the card that they played in twenty twenty and 182 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:33.360 they tried to plan twenty sixteen, which is Trump is dangerous Trump. We 183 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:37.840 got to stir up hatred and fear for this man was so much. It's 184 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.840 going to be so much worse under Trump than it is under Biden. Now 185 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.679 the problem is they've got three years, three years of human experience, three 186 00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:52.559 years that we've all experienced under the Biden regime that are demonstrably worse in every 187 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:58.240 measurable way than they were under Trump. And so you lose that edge and 188 00:15:58.759 --> 00:16:06.240 all. So there's people out there who, again I point to Michael Rappaport, 189 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:11.840 I'm the guy is radical leftists, he's deranged, and he's vulgar to 190 00:16:11.080 --> 00:16:17.799 the nth degree. But the guy is on the verge of saying he's voting 191 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:22.240 for Trump. And there's others as well. And I'm telling you the open 192 00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.600 borders issue, what's happened here with illegal immigration, how this has hurt cities. 193 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.480 In fact, I saw that the city of Denver that's in the stack 194 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.080 of stuff as well, Denver is going to be cutting services because of the 195 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:38.240 cost of illegal immigration. I saw that the state of New York is now 196 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:45.159 giving out giving out welfare benefits to at least some illegal aliens. I mean, 197 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:52.039 this is unsustainable. This is this is what happens though. You know, 198 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:56.360 when you take an ideology like leftism, the leftist ideology, the leftist 199 00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:00.799 worldview, and you put it into practice and to take it out of the 200 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:04.440 classroom. Now you got to take it out of the world of pontification and 201 00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:10.680 just this little, nice, neat little scenario, this utopia you can create 202 00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:17.839 when dealing with things purely in academia and when you let it work on its 203 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:22.480 own in the real world. This is what we get. We get inflation 204 00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:26.920 that's going out the wazoo. In fact, it's a piece on that in 205 00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:33.440 the stack of stuff toddefshow dot Com. Inflation isn't really as dead as the 206 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:38.359 creators of the narrative wants you to believe. Inflation still has a bigger impact 207 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:45.200 on things than the Left wants to admit. Because now we're in an election 208 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.680 year anyway, It's a mess. It's a mess out there. The Left 209 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.759 is now I think, having real serious I think it's it's always been an 210 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.720 issue, but now they are in panic mode. Now they know they've got 211 00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:03.680 RFK Junior out there saying that he wants to debate Biden to see if to 212 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:10.200 demonstrate his mental acuity. Basically, I mean, it is collapsing everywhere around 213 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:14.720 them. There is nowhere left to hide. There is nowhere left to hide, 214 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:18.160 right, I mean, this is the sitting president of the United States. 215 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:25.880 His calendar is hardly full of anything because the guy is just not capable. 216 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:30.759 He is just not the one running the show there. He simply is 217 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:36.720 not. Which is another issue, a whole nother issue all of its own. 218 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.400 Why should we have someone running this country who's not even duly elected by 219 00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.680 the people. Meaning I'm not even talking about election and inference. I'm talking 220 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:52.279 about the person that we elected is really just showing up to give a speech 221 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:55.960 here or there, to read from the teleprompter, to go up and stand 222 00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.359 at a podium every now and again, saying as little as possible, because 223 00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:06.599 they know the more he's out there, the more it exposes that the key 224 00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:08.839 the emperor has no clothes. I mean, this is really that scenario. 225 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.839 They talk like it's Trump, they the radical left and the media, but 226 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:18.599 Biden's the one that's up there basically buck naked metaphorically. I don't want to 227 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:23.319 put any imagery in your mind, but he's the one. The emperor has 228 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:29.039 no clothes, and no one's wanting, well, we are, But no 229 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:32.039 one in the mainstream even wants to acknowledge that this is a thing. But 230 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:37.319 the people clearly see it. They clearly see it and there's just no place 231 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:41.440 to hide. So anyway, timeouts in order. I got a SoundBite I 232 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.039 want to play as we get into this program today. I got some other 233 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:47.599 things that I want to hit on, but I want to start by talking 234 00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:52.720 about PBS being upset about this her report that talks about Biden's age. They're 235 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.000 really upset about this went really long, this segment. I know, I 236 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:07.599 know, sit tight. My friend's back here in just a minute. Welcome 237 00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:12.759 back, my friends. So have you heard any You probably have. This 238 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:18.480 happened late last week. This is I'm looking here at m let's see NewsBusters 239 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:23.880 dot org and always in the stack of stuff here headline of this piece over 240 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:33.640 the line. PBS condemns gratuitous her report on Biden's age. Washington Post associate 241 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:38.920 editor Jonathan KPart and New York Times columnist David Brooks. That's right, the 242 00:20:38.920 --> 00:20:42.920 one who was hat tip to the late great Rush Limball, the one who 243 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:49.400 was impressed by Obama because of the crease in his pants. That's right. 244 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:59.480 David Brooks themselves joined PBS News Hour host Omninawaz on Friday to recap the week's 245 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:04.640 biggest stories, including special counsel Robert Herr's report that claimed he could not win 246 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:11.799 a conviction in President Joe Biden's classified documents case because a jury would view him 247 00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:19.440 as a sympathetic old man with memory problems. For both men, but especially 248 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:26.400 Kate part the report was both terrific but also gratuitous. So basically, if 249 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.960 you remember, if you remember, we have we have dueling classified documents cases. 250 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:36.400 We have the one with Trump where they sent the FBI in tomorrow Lago 251 00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.279 basically kicked in the doors. I'm using a little bit of hyperbole here, 252 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.519 but you know what I mean. They secured these, They acted like Trump 253 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:52.160 was about to cause the downfall of American and so forth. Biden has some 254 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:56.839 doc by the way, Trump was president, Biden was not president. Biden 255 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:00.000 is president now, but Biden was not president dating back to the time that 256 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:08.039 he had classified documents in his garage next to his classic corvette. In fact, 257 00:22:08.079 --> 00:22:11.759 I've said on this program, that's what Biden wants you to know. 258 00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:15.680 He wants you to know, Hey, the reason those documents were safe was 259 00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:22.480 not because he cares about national security. That he cares about that he you 260 00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.359 know, shouldn't even have had those in his possession to begin with. No 261 00:22:26.359 --> 00:22:29.799 no, No, they were in there with this classic Corvette. And there's 262 00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:34.640 nowhere safer for those documents to be than when with Biden's classified or excuse me, 263 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:41.480 classic corvette classified docs with a classic Corvette. So Biden says, don't 264 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.680 worry, it's in there with my classic car. I love that car. 265 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:51.839 Everything's fine, and there's pictures. They've released pictures. You can see final 266 00:22:51.880 --> 00:22:57.680 cabinets open and documents just you know, it's it's they're not just nicely stored 267 00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:00.119 or anything. I mean, it's it's I've seen a lot worse, but 268 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:07.319 it's not. They're open drawers and stuff. So this is, of course 269 00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:15.119 you're comparing and contrasting. Why is Trump basically basically being charged to some villain 270 00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:23.799 and Biden here is being excused more or less because well, as this report 271 00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:30.440 says, as the report says, the jury would view him as a sympathetic 272 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:36.079 old man with memory problems. So they didn't want to go after Biden for 273 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:40.839 obvious reasons. So they said, well, let's explain why we're not. 274 00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:48.240 And the reason we're not is because just seems like this sympathetic old man doesn't 275 00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:53.880 know what's going on, has memory problems. President of the United States a 276 00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:57.440 big deal. You know, I just can't get I can't get people to 277 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:03.039 convict over that. A jury's not a jury's going to be way too sympathetic 278 00:24:03.079 --> 00:24:07.200 for this old guy. I mean, unless I guess we start showing pictures 279 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.519 of him sniffing hair of eight year olds and women that are married as congressman 280 00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:15.960 and so forth. But nonetheless, this is the narrative of the storyline, 281 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:23.839 the argument here as to why Biden should not be pursued. I'll leave that 282 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:29.400 bee for a moment, but I want to I want to play this exchange 283 00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:33.839 because it's almost like they're damned if they do, damned if they don't. 284 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:41.200 The left, did you know, they obviously did not want to see a 285 00:24:41.240 --> 00:24:47.160 recommendation that Biden should be prosecuted or whatever. In this particular case, he 286 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:53.000 would not have would not have survived that like obviously Trump has. But they 287 00:24:53.039 --> 00:25:00.960 also were not keen on the rationale and reason. So this report had to 288 00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.079 give a reason because it's pretty clear that, hey, if you're going to 289 00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:11.240 be consistent here Justice Department, you know these things. There's if you're going 290 00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.079 to be consistent, you should go after Biden too. In fact, you 291 00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.559 could probably make more case. You actually could make more of a case to 292 00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.519 go after Biden. But that's not exactly the point here. The point is 293 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.119 is that once they decided they weren't going to go after him, they had 294 00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:30.160 to give some sort of a reason, and the reason was Biden's just this 295 00:25:30.319 --> 00:25:34.359 old man who doesn't know what's going on. That's basically. So now they're 296 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.559 upset at that. Now the lefts like, wait a minute, it's great 297 00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.200 that you didn't go after the guy, but could you have I mean, 298 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.200 just say something else, right, And and they're running out of excuses, 299 00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.960 They're running out of places to hide, they're running out of things that they 300 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:53.480 can blame these circumstances on. You know, it's clear that Biden is on 301 00:25:53.519 --> 00:25:57.519 the inside of Washington, d C. Has been there for half a centuries, 302 00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:03.720 not some outside of it's being person acuted by the federal government by the 303 00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.359 way that it operates, and so forth. This is a guy who they're 304 00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.000 protecting, and so they have to, in their minds, give some sort 305 00:26:11.039 --> 00:26:15.160 of a justification as to why they're not going after him. And so they 306 00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.160 basically say everything Trump's been saying, it's just this he's an old man with 307 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:22.319 memory, problems, and the Left doesn't like that. So I want to 308 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.160 play this SoundBite. I want you to listen to it. I'm gonna do 309 00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:26.319 it after the break though, because I've got to take a time out here. 310 00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:44.039 Sit time my friends back in just a minute. Welcome back, my 311 00:26:44.319 --> 00:26:49.799 friends. I want to play this clip that I've referenced last segment, the 312 00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:56.240 PBS, David Brooks and the folks. They're a little bit a little bit 313 00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:04.680 upset at the way that Biden was I guess framed in this report as an 314 00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:10.759 old man with memory problems, which seems to be pretty clearer and straightforward to 315 00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:12.880 anyone who's paying attention. But we'll play that here in just a moment. 316 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.680 But first, I'd like to tell you a little bit about my Pillow Slippers, 317 00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:23.880 my pillow dot Com slash Todd promo code Todd.

So let's play 333 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:55.759 a little bit of this SoundBite. The left is not happy. The media 334 00:28:55.799 --> 00:29:02.000 is not happy. They like that the that maiden was not pursued. I 335 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:07.359 guess for the charges here, but they don't like the rational that's given. 336 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:10.559 So listen to this exchange on PBS We also know the Special Council chose to 337 00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:15.519 comment on Biden's memory function in that report, saying he had quote significant memory 338 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.480 problems. He wrote this, mister Biden would likely present himself to a jury, 339 00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:22.799 as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well 340 00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:26.400 meaning elderly man with a poor memory. Jonathan, what did you make of 341 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:34.720 that inclusion in the report? Does that on the face perhaps says it all? 342 00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:41.559 But please? And that wasn't the only place where he talked about the 343 00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:45.960 talked about the president's age. I thought those reports, the apposed should be 344 00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:52.160 just the facts. That was gratuitous. A lot of the other ones were 345 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:56.559 gratuitous. We've spent way too much time talking about this president's age. And 346 00:29:56.599 --> 00:30:02.359 I'll say it again, when Ronald Reagan was the old person to ever be 347 00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.640 in the White House and to run for reelection, I don't recall a lot 348 00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.400 of people within his own party talking about the fact that we need to get 349 00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:14.440 another person. He's too old. And what's not what this is? Wait 350 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:18.319 a minute, that is this? This is a straw man? No one, 351 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:22.839 folks. Trump and Biden are close to the same age, right, 352 00:30:22.920 --> 00:30:27.160 it's within a couple of years. This is not I understand. They want 353 00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.519 you to think it is. They want to conflate it. They want you 354 00:30:30.599 --> 00:30:34.839 to think that you are an agist if you are not for Biden. Why 355 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.799 can't you just be for old people? Why do you hate old people? 356 00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:41.519 You don't want to vote for Biden because he's old. No, it has 357 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.279 nothing to do with his age. The only thing it has to do with 358 00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:49.279 his age is how much his age has to do with his lack of being 359 00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:56.079 mentally sharp to whatever degree that that is correlated with his age. And that's 360 00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:59.640 the degree it has to do with his age. But it wouldn't have anything 361 00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.759 to do with his age if he was out there sharp as attack like President 362 00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:07.920 Trump is. I mean, people weren't saying people try to extrapolate from what's 363 00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:11.640 being said about Biden and apply it to Trump, but it is the left 364 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:17.680 doesn't even really try to do this because they know if they make this the 365 00:31:17.759 --> 00:31:22.039 issue right, they want you, They want you to be ashamed to talk 366 00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:27.079 about Biden being incompetent. My friends, I think that we have a duty. 367 00:31:29.039 --> 00:31:32.440 I think that we have a duty. We're talking about the highest office 368 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:36.759 in the land. We're talking about someone who is the commander in chief of 369 00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:41.960 our military forces. We're talking about someone who executes, who rights, executive 370 00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:47.720 orders that can determine if the border is safe, whether or not terrorists are 371 00:31:47.759 --> 00:31:56.599 getting into this country, whether or not drugs and human trafficking are flowing freely, 372 00:31:56.839 --> 00:32:02.119 or whether we're trying to stop it. We're talking about someone whose policies 373 00:32:02.799 --> 00:32:07.480 impact what happens around the world. I've said for a long long time American 374 00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:14.519 weakness is what is in fact provocative. Biden's weakness has provoked our enemies to 375 00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:19.119 levels we haven't seen since the last time some leftist or Democrat was in the 376 00:32:19.119 --> 00:32:25.720 White House. So I just it's it's not it's disingenuous to try to make 377 00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:34.880 this about his age. This is about his competency. And yes, yes, 378 00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:38.279 the competency of which we are speaking has a correlation with age. Not 379 00:32:39.799 --> 00:32:45.759 We all slow down physically and mentally as we age, but not at the 380 00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:49.839 same rate. And some people can still be very I mean, there are 381 00:32:49.839 --> 00:32:53.880 people friends who are I admire some of them. Look at Warren Buffett, 382 00:32:54.640 --> 00:33:00.319 Warren Buffett or there's there's a number of these folks. Zig Ziggler did the 383 00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:08.200 same thing. Love zig Ziggler passed away not too many years ago. Was 384 00:33:08.279 --> 00:33:12.319 one guy that I listened to all the time was zig Ziggler. But the 385 00:33:12.480 --> 00:33:15.799 idea, the idea that it's just like, oh, he's at a certain 386 00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:17.880 age, therefore we say he's too old. No, it's all the other 387 00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:22.000 stuff happening. It's the other stuff that you don't want to talk about. 388 00:33:22.240 --> 00:33:25.279 It's the stuff that you act like isn't happening. It's the stuff that you 389 00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:29.640 want to sweep under the rug, and then you want to put a little 390 00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:34.000 danger sign around it that says, if you bring this up, you're someone 391 00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:37.599 who hates old people. You know, when I was in Hawaii years ago, 392 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:39.480 as I was saying this, I remember this, there was I saw 393 00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:43.799 a giant what he giant sea turtle that was on one of the beaches there. 394 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:45.359 And as soon as that guy came out or I guess it was a 395 00:33:45.400 --> 00:33:50.920 female, because I think she was. She was nesting. She lays on 396 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:54.079 the sand, they bring out the people there at the beach brought out these 397 00:33:54.279 --> 00:34:00.279 like post these poles with like ropes around it, right like like don't go 398 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:05.359 inside this lead the turtle alone, basically, And that's what I feel like 399 00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:10.719 here. I feel like Biden and Biden resembles that old turtle barely climbing out 400 00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:15.199 of the ocean, and then the turtle's there on the beach. But we're 401 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:16.920 not allowed to talk about it. You know. We rope it off, 402 00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:21.719 We put our kid gloves on, and this isn't look I'm not the one 403 00:34:22.119 --> 00:34:24.920 and we're not the ones that are out there exploiting this guy. If this 404 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:30.079 guy is as bad or half as bad as people like I think, the 405 00:34:30.119 --> 00:34:37.440 people that are putting him up to this are exploiting him. He does not 406 00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:40.960 know what is going on the vast majority of the time. And I do 407 00:34:42.039 --> 00:34:46.559 not take any pleasure in saying that. Whether he is someone who is politically 408 00:34:46.599 --> 00:34:51.239 on the other side, someone who I think is constitutionally on the wrong side 409 00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:53.920 of the issue, even dangerous to this country, he's a human being and 410 00:34:53.960 --> 00:35:00.800 I do not take any pleasure saying this. But my friends, it's not 411 00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:06.079 about his age. It's about his mental acuity. And we shouldn't just pretend 412 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:08.159 that we can just put him in this nice little roped off area, let 413 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:12.440 him hang out there in the beach like the sea turtle. We ought to 414 00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:15.239 be able to interact with him, We ought to be able to ask him 415 00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:20.519 questions. That's why RFK Junior is right about debating him. The Democrats don't 416 00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:22.920 want anything to do with that. They're trying to hide this guy yet again. 417 00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:27.280 And they've gotten away with the two a remarkable degree. But I gotta 418 00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:29.960 ge a break. Come out to order, my friends. Sits back here 419 00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:43.800 in just a minute. Come back to my friends. You know these they 420 00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:50.480 the left didn't want any additional comments when this report was filed, and I 421 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:57.000 look, I don't completely disagree. The reason, however, that there are 422 00:35:57.519 --> 00:36:02.320 comments that are included in here is because people cannot say it with the straight 423 00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:07.239 face anymore. People cannot say with the straight phase that Trump should be pursued 424 00:36:07.280 --> 00:36:13.199 for what happened with classified documents, but Biden shouldn't. People can't say that, 425 00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:15.880 and so they feel the need to say something. They feel the need 426 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:22.400 to give some clarity. Well, it's because and just think about the reason 427 00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:30.400 here. It's because a jury would be sympathetic to the old man with memory 428 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:37.280 problems. No one wants to put a man of Biden's age or stature or 429 00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:44.400 whatever in you know, they don't want to convict him, right, I 430 00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:52.519 mean, that's that's what they're saying that's the position. So the position is 431 00:36:52.599 --> 00:37:00.320 the jury can't be fair because Biden is just this elderly man who doesn't know 432 00:37:00.360 --> 00:37:04.119 what's going on, and they don't like that that's being said. It reminds 433 00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.800 me, oh, this so much. So much of this goes back to 434 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:13.000 the days of James Comy and Hillary Clinton. I was thinking of this during 435 00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:17.719 the break. I can't think of the terms. But remember James Comy made 436 00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:23.639 some comments it didn't qualify to this standard with Hillary and her emails, but 437 00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:29.880 yet he used another word that was synonymous with the thing that he said. 438 00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:32.360 It wasn't, so he said, I can't think of the word at the 439 00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.079 moment. For those of you that were around or paying attention back then, 440 00:37:37.159 --> 00:37:40.360 you know you know what I'm talking about. In fact, maybe I'll try 441 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:45.239 to find it during the break. But anyway, basically, there was commentary 442 00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:50.280 there. There's been commentary in a lot of this stuff. But they're feeling 443 00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:55.639 the need to explain themselves because this is becoming absolutely indefensible and everybody knows it. 444 00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:59.920 The Emperor indeed has no clothes. My friends, sit tip back in 445 00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:09.639 minute, welcome back to my friends. I was doing a little bit of 446 00:38:09.719 --> 00:38:15.440 research here during the break, and I found James Comey's statement about Hillary's use 447 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:21.280 of personal email back in the well prior to the twenty sixteen campaign. I 448 00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:27.079 remember this was back when they were using what bleach bit and smashing cell phones 449 00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:30.199 with hammers, remember that totally that's I mean, that's what you do when 450 00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:32.639 you get to the end of your cell phone plan, right, you bash 451 00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:37.880 it with a hammer. That's totally natural, totally normal. They want you 452 00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:43.519 to believe. But he wouldn't say I forget the word that he was that 453 00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:49.719 he said it did not qualify as but he used the definition that Hillary Clinton's 454 00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:53.840 use of the way that she handled classified information through those emails were quote extremely 455 00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:59.840 careless. Yet he wouldn't use the legal term, and I can't find that 456 00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:04.000 in here. The legal term that quite literally, if you look at the 457 00:39:04.039 --> 00:39:13.039 definition, means extremely extreme carelessness. So this is the way, this is 458 00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:16.400 the way that they you know, they can't say these things with a straight 459 00:39:16.400 --> 00:39:21.239 face, just like everybody knew in twenty sixteen if there was something super fishy 460 00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.960 going on with the email servers. We also know the same thing about Biden 461 00:39:24.039 --> 00:39:27.719 and so forth. But I've got to go have a great day SDG
