When 60 Minutes premiered in September 1968, there was nothing like it. This is 60 Minutes. It's a kind of a magazine for television. Very few have been given access to the treasures in our archives.

But that's all about to change. Like none of this stuff gets looked at. That's what's incredible. I'm Seth Done of CBS News. Listen to 60 Minutes, a second look on Apple podcasts starting September 17th. Joe Biden, President of the United States and Professional Malachi Hunter. There are lots of cool perks to being president, right? You get a giant house with a bowling alley and a personal chef. You get that free painting of yourself.

And best of all, you get to travel the world for free. And right now, Joe Biden is on one of the biggest trips of his presidency so far. So, let's find out how it's all going in another installment of Grandpa's Day Out. President Biden's first stop on his European tour was the Vatican City. The place Tripadvisor rated best city to feel guilty for masturbating in. And while Biden was there, he had a very special meeting with a fellow Catholic. For President Biden, a day of devotion and diplomacy, America's second ever Roman Catholic President having a private audience with Pope Francis, with whom he's built a personal bond, giving him a ceremonial commander coin and a compliment.

You are the most significant warrior for peace I've ever met. With your permission, I'd like to be able to give you a coin. Now the tradition is, and I'm only kidding about this, if next time I see you, you don't have it. You have to buy the drinks. I'm the only Irishman you've ever met, who's never had a drink. But I'm the only Orlandese, that they don't have never drank in his whist. I know that. I know that I know that. See, I have brought the whiskey. I know that. So, obviously a very personal moment with a light-hearted one as is typical with Joe Biden, who ended that meeting today by saying to the Pope, God love you.

You know, you've got to give it to Joe Biden because it took everything in his power as an old man to not make that coin appear behind the Pope's ear. What's this, Popey? Ah! Here's a coin kid. I'll see you next time. Yeah. Also, the fact that he said God love you to the Pope, that is the most unnecessary God love you in history. You don't need to say God love you to the Pope. He knows God loves him. He had dinner with him last night. But I do think that meeting was cool to see, because it's nice that even though these two men are some of the most powerful leaders in the world, when it comes down to it, they're just a couple of old guys hanging out, showing off their coin collection, talking about alcohol, making inappropriate ethnic jokes. I mean, forget the Vatican, these two should have been meeting in a sauna, you know. And it's adorable how the Pope acts so happy to receive that coin. You. And the their. And, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. And, th, th. And, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, thi, thi, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, th. tho, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. And, that, that, thoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, the tho, tho, adorable how the Pope acts so happy to receive that coin. You see him, you know, his house is filled with Indiana Jones' wish list. He doesn't need to be happy about a coin, you know.

Oh wow, a coin from the White House. I'll keep it right next to the actual Holy Grave. Throw this shit out, Vincenzo, not giving me the coin. How are you going to give me a coin? This is the white, the white, the the the the the the the the the the coin, the coin, the the coin, the coin, the coin, the coin, the the the the coin, the the the the coin, the coin, I is a the coin, I is a the coin, I is a the coin, I is a coin, I is a coin, I's, I's, I'll tho, I'll tho, I's, I'll tho, he's, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I is, I is, I is, I is, I is, I is, I is, I is, I is... I is. I is. Oh, is. Oh, is. Oh, is. Oh, is. Oh, is. Oh, is. Oh, is. Oh, is. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. Oh, is a coin. give me a coin? I say, the Pope, oh, that's the stucco little in the White House. They're from Farns' f'c. I said, hey, hey, that's it. Well, you see, I'm, it seems like I speak bad Italian, but actually, but actually, the Pope is from Argentina.

I'm actually doing a good thing, right? I think it's a bad thing. I think it's a bad sign if you're trying to negotiate an infrastructure bill in the United States and in the middle of negotiations, you got to run and talk to the Pope. Hey, Pope, confession, we're screwed. Isn't it great that they just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just th. Pope. That's your new name when you become the Pope. The Pope. His name is Francis. Everyone calls him the Pope. It's like when you work at Denny's very first day you show up and the only name tag they have is Josh. You're now Josh. I thought that guy was Josh. Yeah.

Exactly. Everyone thinks is Josh. Also, you know there's another former Pope. Pope. the Pope. there's the former Pope. Pope Benedict, he's just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the Pope. He's the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the's like the Jay Leno now of Pope. He's just fixing cars in Germany. He was a he was a Pope. And he's not a Pope. I'm just saying. No one ever talks about Benedict. Former Pope. Former Pope. Pope. Previous Pope. All right. Now, after President Biden exchanged Irish jokes with the Pope, he caught an Uber to Rome for the G20 Summit, where he and other world leaders got down to business. And they got some things done. You know, like they agreed to create a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15 percent, which is expected to raise hundreds of billions of dollars until the corporations find a different loophole about five minutes afterwards. But when it came to another priority for the G20, tackling climate change, things weren't as successful.

Even the first major in-person meeting in two years couldn't bring world leaders closer together on the issue of climate change. In the final communique, G20 leaders agreed to softer language on reaching net-zero emissions, setting a target of, quote, by or around mid-century. Canada's pledge is to be carbon neutral by 2050. And coal was also contentious. G20 leaders did agree to end public financing of coal-fired power generation abroad, but there are no targets to phase out coal domestically.

Damn G20, now that is a flex. Did you hear what they said there? Basically, these leaders were like, no more coal for the coal to the coal for thoan.. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to coil the coal for coal for coal for coal for coal for coal for coal for coal to coal to coal to coal to coal to coal to coal to coal to coal to coal to coal to coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal to coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal coal. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. Did you hear what they said there? Basically these leaders were like, no more coal for anyone except us. Now if you excuse me, I've got to go home and give a Pfizer booster to my pets. I'm sorry guys, but how is climate change the most pressing issue facing humanity, but then your plan is to do something about it by more or less 2050? Like that's a pretty good sign that something is thi thi thi th. th. th. the th. their th. their their th. th. their th. their th. thi. to thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. to to to to to to to to to to to toe. toe. toe. t. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. te. to. to. to te. te. th. th. te is to do something about it by more or less 2050? Like that's a pretty good sign that something isn't actually going to get done. If somebody says to you, yeah, yeah, we should hang out some time, what's your schedule looking like in 2050, you're never seeing that person again. I don't care if they're dead. You're never seeing them.

Not to mention, I'm looking at the people making this pledge. Half of them aren't even going to be around in 2050. That's genius. When are we fixing this? How much time do I have left? Yeah, yeah, around then. I mean, the bigger problem is that these steps that the countries have announced that they're going to take, they won't actually reduce carbon emissions enough to reach five push-ups a day. And then I don't know. Maybe I'll get tape warm. We'll see what happens. You know?

It's frustrating, Costa. The thing, you can't say you want to do something about it, and then be like, in 30 years, we'll do something in 30 years. I can solve climate change in 10 minutes. You ready? OK? room in Glasgow and put the G20 summit inside of a California wildfire. Okay? They'll, they got two minutes, let's wrap this thing up. Location. They don't feel the consequences when they're in an air-conditioned room in Glasgow.

The clock, I like this. Location, location is everything. Location, location, location, location, and I'm the first person to ever say that. Yeah. Anyway, Joe Biden wrapped the Biden the thiiiiiii the thi thi thi thi thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th. th. th. th. th. th. the, thi, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, let's th, let's th, let's th, let's th, let's, let's, let's, let's th, let's th, let's th, let's th.

Let's the. Let's the. Let's the. Grandpa's day out by attending the COP26 climate conference in Scotland, aka England's fancy church hat. And although COP26 sounds like a Bruce Willis movie that never actually got made, it's actually the most important annual climate change conference in the world. Although that doesn't mean that it's the most exciting conference in the world. I call on you to commit to confident actions to stop the destruction of this magnificent planet. This conference is one of the most important meetings in history.

You have the chance to make decisions and reach agreements which will affect the lives of generations to come. This is my message from Earth to call. On behalf of We the 15, I ask you, please help us to guarantee a safer future for every life. Please welcome my Minister of Italy, Mario Draga. I don't know what's worse. The fact that he clapped for a speech that he didn't hear, or the fact that he fell asleep when the guy was like, this is the most important thing, facing humanity of all time. And look, look, look, I know that the haters are going to say that Biden was falling asleep during the climate conference, but think about it. How are we going to save the climate? Not using energy, that's how. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. the one. thi. the one. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that going to save the climate? Not using energy.

That's how. What's the one time you're not using as much energy when you're sleeping? So Joe Biden was just doing his part, yo? That's all he was doing. And by the way, I don't know exactly how the chain of command works. But when he dozed off for five seconds, I think that means Kamala Harris was president at that time, right? First woman president America, you did it, baby! You did it! You see what I did there, Costa?

It's a joke about... Costa! Michael! Shoot them, Lindsay Graham. Use the guns! Use the guns! That's not what I was talking about. I know.

I know. This guy. You know, if you ask me, the real hero of this whole thing was the aide who came in and woke Biden up. Because that was slick, man, that dude should get a coin. If it wasn't for him, Biden might still be sleeping there now. Yeah, he'll just wake up next week in the middle of like a furry convention. I don't know if I could rub one out to a squirrel, but God love you guys. So kudos to that aide that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid that aid too too to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to that aid who woke Biden up. I mean, people may not actually know this, but he's actually part of a new branch of the federal government, and they're on the lookout for recruits.

Last May, Texas tried to ban abortion in a new way. They didn't outlaw it, but they made it possible to sue anybody who gave or helped someone get an abortion, right?

And then if you win, you would get at least $10,000. So for example, if I drove someone to an abortion clinic in Texas, anybody can sue me for $10,000. Anybody on earth? You, my seventh grade girlfriend, Brad Pitt, anybody snitches get riches. And the reason Texas structured the law this way is so that the Supreme Court couldn't overturn it. But yesterday, the Supreme Court looked at this case anyway, and they didn't sound too happy with Texas getting cute like this. Today as protesters rallied outside the Supreme Court inside for the first time a majority of justices signaled they are not comfortable with the new Texas

law. Conservative justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett today questioned whether that loophole should be closed. Cavana theorized that a left-leaning state could offer a $1 million bounty against those who saw an assault rifle like an AR-15, then claim it wasn't using state power because only private parties could bring the suits. Uh-oh. Looks like the conservative justices are going to have to choose what they care more about, guns or fetuses. This is tough.

That is, unless, what if, women gave birth to guns? That's it! We just make women give birth to guns, then everybody wins. I will say, this really shows you how bullshit this law is, right? Because banning abortion has been the goal for conservatives for over, what, four decades now? But even they aren't willing to do it like this. Like, it would over what, four decades now, but even they aren't willing to do it like this. Like it would be like a lonely guy finally losing his virginity, but only because he fell into the gorilla pit at the zoo.

It's not what he wanted. It's what he wanted, but not what he wanted. And the justice is all right. This law could lead to a future where everyone is just suing each other all the time. And. And. And. And. And, and th. And, and th. And, and th. And, th. And, th. And, th th th th th thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the the the the the to, to, to, to, to, to, the to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the time. And let's be honest, there are already too many lawsuits in America. I mean, America had to make Jerry Springer a judge. Yeah, Jerry Springer. He has a court show now. Yeah, they were like, who's that guy who used to have joined twins slap each other on TV? Yeah, give him a robe. He's a judge now. We need more judges. You know, it's like if money got into vaping. Everyone has heard of Bitcoin. Of course.

But, did you know that there are thousands of other digital coins out there? Why? Because anyone can make a cryptocurrency. You, my seventh-grade girlfriend, Brad Pitt, anybody. All you need is a computer and the willingness to bore your friends to death at parties. Anyway, the other day, an exciting new cryptocurrency came out called Squid. That the creator said was inspired by Squid Game,

which is another thing that people do. They give their money a name based on a TV show or a meme, and then people who like that thing by the coin, which, let's be honest, is the stupidest way to invest in something. Because what if the thing that you're a fan of becomes unpopular? I mean, trust me, that's how I got stuck with $10,000 worth of Formo coin, and now I can't toucet. But so many people wanted squid coins, that the price of each coin shot up to nearly $3,000, which isook all that money and disappeared. That squid game cryptocurrency we've been talking about on the program looks like it was part of a scam.

What happened is called a rug pull, the coin's creators, they just abandoned the project by exchanging the coin for cash. They walked away with $3.3 million or every dollar ever invested in squid coin. They left 40,000 investors holding the bag after the crash. There's a scam. Case closed. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thoom, thoom, thoed thoed tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' tho' th. Looks th. Looks th. th.

Case closed. Oh man, I feel bad for these people. I mean, not too bad, because do they not see the show?

Would these people like, wow, these nice squid games people are offering me easy money? What could go wrong? I mean, this is one advantage that real money has over crypto money? because the government can't thuuuuuuuu, thine they they they they they they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll they'll thine thine thine thi. thi. thi. thi.

I mean this is one advantage that real money has over crypto money because the government can't just cash out and leave. You know you'll never see Biden hopping on Air Force One like, ha ha ha I converted all the dollars to yen. Sign our Jack, come on let's get out of here man. I did a little malarkey. If you want to invest your money smartly, let me give you some advice. What you need to do is go to a bar near Wall Street Street the the the to to the the to the the to the to the the the to the the the to the the the the to. the the to. the to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the the th. the th. the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. I I I I I I I, th. I I, th. I I, th. I I, th. I I, th. I, th. I, th. I, th. Ie. I'll, the. I'll, the. I'lle. I'lle. I'lle. I'lle. I'llea. I'llean. I'llean. I'llean. I'llea'ean. I'llea'ea'e. I'lle. I'll just juste. I'll they. I go to a bar near Wall Street at around 5 o'clock, hide in the bathroom, and then you see what professional investors are saying.

That's how I ended up investing in a little thing called cocaine. Made a lot of money doing that. All right, and finally, let's talk about space travel. One day it'll be as glamorous and romantic as it is in science fiction. We'll fly past stars and beautiful ships and fight with laser swords and make out with our sisters. But we didn't know that she was our sister at the time, which makes it all right. But right now that future is like years away. Space X. Space X.

Space X is faced with another engineering problem. This time in the bathroom a leaky toilet is the latest issue on board the SpaceX Dragon capsule which means everyone on board won't have a toilet during their journey. The four astronauts will have to rely on backup undergarments. I think they mean diapers. Officials did not say how long the crew would be without an inoperable toilet. You know it's pretty humbling that no matter what technological advances we come up with, we've still got to deal with our poop. Which let's be honest, is going to be really embarrassing if we ever meet aliens. Greetings, Earthling.

Would you like to know the mysteries of the Un- I'm sorry. Did you just defecate in your pants? Yeah, man, sorry about that, dude. It was a really long flight, and I'm wearing diapers, though, so it's cool. Tell me about those secrets? You know what, we just remembered we have a thing in another galaxy. See you around, maybe. Don't come back here.

But you know, when we think about it, what is so embarrassing about diapers? thipars are underrated. Like if diapers didn't already exist and someone introduced them now as a hot new technology in 2021, be honest. People would be excited about them. Guys, what if I told you you you never had to worry about finding a bathroom ever again? Because you would always be carrying one with you, huh? You'd make a killing on shock tank. Barbara, I know you take dumps. So.

Zip Recruiter, the smartest way to hire. Let's get into the Democrats' disastrous night in our new and maybe frequently recurring segment in the city that shook up the world in 2020. Since the police killing of George Floyd, Minneapolis citizens have been debating whether they

should make defund the police a reality in their city. So yesterday, they finally voted on a plan that would reorganize and rename the police department, give some of their functions to non-police, and make cops more accountable. And that ballot measure lost by 12 points, which, let me tell you now, in politics, is not that close. It's not like losing a football game by 12. It's like losing a baseball game by 12. Yeah, that locker room is quiet.

Now, one reason it lost was probably that the details of the plan were complicated and what some voters heard was just the phrase abolish the police. Because not a lot of people have time in their life to read the text of legislation and the people that like to spend their free time reading bills, well they could explain it to their friends but they don't have any. But other voters the voters the voters the voters the voters the the to do the the the to do the the their friends, but they don't have any. But other voters did understand the plan, and they just didn't want it. The African-American community is in a quandary, because historically and currently, we are abused by police asportionately.

And on the other hand, we also are abused and killed by our neighbors. And so it's a quandary we're in. And when you live here, though, you realize that we can't sacrifice one to address the other. Yeah, I see where that man is coming from. Because even if black people don't love cops, the situation for them is more nuanced than you might think. I mean, even NWA, they didn't want to abolish the police.

Yeah, fuck the police, but you still need to have them around, too fuck. And by the way, just as an aside, it must be so hard to be a black barber. Right? Because like 90% of your shop is always just filled with reporters trying to interview black people. I'm sure Black Babas is just like, hey, man, black people going other places too. You guys ever heard of a grocery store? Shit, I'm trying to cut hair. But let me tell you my views on this issue as well. Now that you hear.

But aside from the rejection of police reform in Minneapolis, there were setbacks for Democrats First of all, they barely, and I mean barely eked out of victory in the race for governor of New Jersey. And that state is more blue than an orgy of smurfs. But the bigger loss was in Virginia, or as it's known by its full name, East-West Virginia. Because Virginia has been becoming more and more democratic for years now. They voted for the first black president and the first blackface governor. So everyone expected them to elect another Democratic governor. But Virginia had other plans. Republicans reign. Glenn Yonkin the projected winner in Virginia's high stakes

battle for governor. A stunning reversal in a solidly democratic state. All righty Virginia we won this thing. Narrly defeating his Democratic opponent, former governor Terry McAuliffe. In his state President Biden won by 10 points just one year ago. That is why there in the Oval Office, there's a big red warning light flashing right now after what happened in Virginia with the Republican winning. Could be a red flag for the upcoming midterms for Democrats. Okay, okay. I know there were a lot of factors here, but whatever this was, this? That definitely didn't help.

I mean, I guess, you know what they say, dance like nobody's voting for you. And what's especially shocking about this result is that Joe Biden won Virginia by 10 points just a year ago. That is a huge swing, people. That's like a Kim Kardashian going from Kanye to Pete Davidson level swing. Now on the one hand, this is just one race to lead one state. Please don't get me wrong. But as you heard, it could also be a bellwether of the things to come in the midterms next year. You know the same way your girlfriend saying, that guy's cute is a bellwether that you're going to be single soon. So, why did Democrats do so badly in Virginia last night? Well, it depends on

who you ask. This is a major defeat for the Democratic Party. Yes, it's a referendum on President Biden. Voters are, you know, disappointed in Biden, angry at Biden, distressed about what other things they see about inflation. The problem with with Democrats is they made this about Trump and Trump was not on the ballot. Yonkin cut into McCullough's margins in Democratic strongholds by focusing on education, including the controversial critical race theory. There's no doubt that critical race theory is a weapon that he utilized to great effect. The messages tonight is that the liberal the liberal the liberal the liberal the liberal the liberal the liberal the liberal the liberal the liberal the liberal the liberal is theory is a weapon that he utilized to great effect. The messages tonight is that the liberal policies that are being pushed right now, through Washington are not necessarily very successful.

This is not a referendum on liberal versus progressive versus moderate in the Democratic Party. This is a referendum on the fact that they haven't gotten anything done. Oof. All right, it would be bad enough if Democrats had one reason they lost. But they have like 50. I mean, I I I I I I I I then, I then, I then, I then, I then, I thui, I thui, I thui, thui, thui, thui, thui, thui, thui, thuad, tho, tho, thu, thuasks, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, tho, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu, thu.

T. thu. thu. thu. thu. thui. thrui. thrui. throi. trui. truuui. tru. truuuuuu thrue. thrue, thu bad enough if Democrats had one reason they lost, but they have like 50. I mean, it's Biden's unpopularity, it's worries about the economy, it's the fact that the pandemic is still hanging around like the Tutsi rolls three weeks after Halloween, and then there's strategy problems. I mean, Democrats kept trying to fire up their base by making this race about Donald Trump. But here's the thing, Trump wasn't running.

Honestly, Democrats, you should enjoy this break from Trump while you can, because after he wins in 2024 and declares himself Emperor, you'll be running against him forever. And on the Republican side, I mean, there's no denying that Glenn Yonkin's fear-mongering about critical race theory also played a role. And honestly, this, my friends, this is where Republicans rarely excel. I mean, they set the agenda. They know how to play the game. Because a year ago, if you ask anyone what critical race theory was, they'd be like, I have no idea what you're talking about. But if you ask them now, they'll be like, I still have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm terrified of it. And it's not just critical race theory. Republicans have been doing this for decades, and they are great at it. Everything America fights about,

they start it. All these culture wars. The trans people want to use your bathroom. The gays want to defile marriage. There's a war on Christmas. They're they they they they thi thi they're they're they're thi they're thi thi thi thi thi they're thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thioled thiole thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi th.

The gays want to defile marriage. There's a war on Christmas. They're trying to kill Santa. Dead people and illegal immigrants are voting. It's all them. Smart. What you need to understand is, if they can set the agenda, then they can choose the fight. the fight. the fight Floyd Mayweather. I'm not going to choose to fight him in the ring. I'm going to choose to fight him in a spelling bee. Yeah. And then we'll see who the greatest of all time is, CHAMP. Champ. I mean for the most part, Democrats don't want to engage in those culture wars because they think that they can win on policy alone. But where that plan falls apart is that they're not getting anything actually done.

because when Republicans say, Democrats are teaching your kids that white people are all bad. What can Democrats say? No, we're not doing that. Okay, then what are you doing? Well, right now we're trying to get you six weeks of paid leave? Huh? What? No, zero weeks? Okay, no paid. thiiiiiiii. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th? th. th. th. th, th, th, th, thi. thi. thi, thi, th, thi, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, makes, makes, makes, makes, makes, makes, makes, makes, makes thi, makes, makes, makes, makes, makes, makes. thi, makes. thi, makes. thi. thi. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi. th, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi we're trying to get you six weeks of paid leave.

We're cutting the taxes on rich people. And that's the Democrat promise. She has a simple message to the Democrats.
