The Megyn Kelly Show - Dems Disrespect Biden as They Kick Him Out, and Fake Speeches and Lies at the DNC, with the Ruthless Podcast Hosts | Ep. 865

Episode Date: August 20, 2024

Megyn Kelly begins the show detailing the first night of the Democratic National Convention, the final knife to the back of President Biden by the Democrats, forcing Biden to speak so late in the night, Nancy Pelosi daring to cheer Biden with a "We Love Joe" sign during his speech after orchestrating the political coup, his “vacation” beginning now as he disappears from the public, and more. Then the hosts of the Ruthless podcast, John Ashbrook, Michael Duncan, Josh Holmes, and Comfortably Smug, join to discussBiden’s farewell address full of lies and an actual "both sides" ad-lib, the random no-names the Dems decided were important enough for primetime, the bizarre speech (and tongue movements) from local Michigan politician Mallory McMorrow, AOC trying to be Obama in 2004, how she actually is more like Hillary Baldwin and Mussolini, how "fake" so many speeches at the DNC really were, what Megyn liked about Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s speech, whether it was truly authentic, whether Democratic politicians have real emotion, the emotional story from a rape and incest survivor but her lies about Trump's abortion policies, Jill Biden's spin about Joe coming up with decision to step aside on his own, Harris’ “word salad” and bizarre take on "duality of democracy," whether she seems more drunk or stoned (or dumb), CNN and MSNBC fawning over Biden and Harris, and more.More from Ruthless: https://www.youtube.com/ruthlesspodcastBirch Gold: Text MEGYN to 989898 and get your free info kit on goldGrand Canyon University: https://GCU.eduFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow

Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Hey, everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Oh, we have so much to go over. An unbelievable day one at the Democratic National Convention. And by unbelievable, I mean we got to watch a final knife in the back to the man who we are told is still the leader of the free world. And according to the Democrats who saved democracy, and this is their thanks. Last month, the Democrats pushed Joe Biden right out of the Democratic nomination for a second term. Then they told us he would get a big celebration on night one of the DNC, the prelude to his ascension to Mount Rushmore.

Instead, he didn't even make it into the primetime. It was bad enough they had him booked to speak on Monday, which is where the C-stringers go, but they moved him. He got delayed right out of the primetime by a lot. In fact, so much so that his speech ended on day two of the convention. They did not put him up there until 1130 East Coast time. I guess they don't care if the people in Georgia hear him, the people in North Carolina hear him, the people in New York and DC who drive the news cycles hear him. OK, fine. It's your party. It's not to mention it was way past the guy's preferred bedtime. I mean, we heard him himself on that call with the governors when he was trying to assure everybody he could do a second term saying, I really can't do things past 8 p.m. anymore.

I'm going to make sure I don't do that. And what do they do? They book him to start at 10 and they don't let him start speaking until 1130. Instead, we heard a long list of no names get up there trying to make their own. Who wanted to hear from Chris Coons, for the love of God? Who gives a shit what he has to say? Put on Joe Biden. He's the sitting president. I'm not his chief defender, but it's the least you could have done just to pay the guy his respect for a lifetime of service to the Democrat Party. But no, they needed to put the final treads on Joe Biden's back. That's amazing. He got up there. There wasn't exactly a passing of the torch.

He did say some nice things about Kamala. His proudest thing was to make her his vice president and that, you know, he was shouting at us as dark Brandon returned, you know, like there's the Bruce Wayne and then the Batman character. Only Batman is a lot cooler than dark Brandon. Well, the, the darker version of Joe Biden was there for virtually the entire time railing against former president Trump and doing so with, over and over and over again, lies that have been debunked. Donald Trump said, and I quote, there are very fine people on both sides. My God, that's what he said. That is what he said and what he meant. From his own chief of staff, the four-star General John Kelly, that Trump, when in Europe, would not go to the grave sites in France,

the brave service members who gave their lives to this country, he called them suckers and losers. Who in the hell does he think he is? Who does he think he is? Who does he think he is? He's promising a bloodbath if he loses in his words. I mean, like literally none of that is true. All of it is out of context. But buying people on both sides, I mean, how many times does that need to be debunked, including by Snopes, which is the Democrats' favorite fact-checking machine?

He keeps telling, he doesn't give a shit. The alternate realities, according to Joe Biden, where are all the excited fact-checkers? Where are they? Come on, come on. You love to fact-check everybody on the right. Do your business. Bloodbath, he was talking about the economy and what was going to happen in the auto industry. If that was Trump talking, if Joe Biden got reelected, we know all this dictator on day one was said jokingly, laughingly to Sean Hannity on camera about what he would do at the border. Kind of like what Joe Biden did with all of his executive orders, undoing Trump's border policy. This is so ridiculous. OK. Despite evidence to the contrary, Joe Biden did want you to know he's really not angry about what was done to him at all. It's been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your president. I love the job,

but I love my country more. I love my country more. I love my country more. And all this talk about how I'm angry at all those people who said I should step down. That's not true. Sure, Jan. And in perhaps the most stunning scene of the entire night, there was former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Brutus herself, waving a We Love Joe sign with the big smile, at least as far as the Botox would allow, like trying to look like she's his number one fan. Wait till you, I mean, look at her front row. We love Joe. We love Joe. We love, we love. It's like something out of a horror movie

where the person's like, we love you. We love you. As they stick the knife in and turn it and turn it and you're dying. And she's like, we love you, but I love you. That's what happened there. It was the whole humiliation made me uncomfortable. I gotta be honest. I tweeted something out last night to the effect of this, like watching a groom who was dumped on the morning of his wedding day, who then is forced to go to the wedding anyway and watch his bride marry someone else and cheer for it. That's how the whole thing made me feel. He didn't want this. Didn't want to be deposed from the nomination. He had won legitimately. I get why it happened, but he didn't want it. He had to show up. He had to say nice things about Kamala. He did that. But they kept grandpa in a green room

for hours, 81 years old, well past Matlock tapioca time, and then forced him to go out there at 1130 East Coast time, which is his time. He lives in D.C. and Delaware and do this speech. No wonder he was angry. President Biden now begins a week long tour to support Kamala Harrison. No, no. He's being shipped off on vacation. Vacation from what? He's literally been sitting in Rehoboth, Delaware for weeks doing nothing. We read you the RealClearPolitics rundown of his schedule in August. He's been doing nothing every day. Vice President Biden's schedule, nothing like one phone call, one ceremonial appearance. So now he needs a vacation from all that. Who is president? Who is commander in chief? He's going to California.

He's going to enjoy the beautiful sunsets, seashores. His party moves forward, though, with the coronation of Vice President Kamala Harris. And that's just the start of what we witnessed last night. I got a lot of thoughts and so did the fellas. They're here from the Ruthless program, Josh Holmes, Michael Duncan, John Ashbrook, and the man known to his minions as Comfortably Smug. In these crazy times, there's peace of mind in security. Security for our country, our leaders, and our families. But think about this.

If you want to check it out, see what your options are. Message and data rates may apply. I'm so happy you guys are here. What a rundown. Yeah, I mean, I think that was a pretty good analysis of what had happened. They're so nasty. Just as they had me feeling sorry for Joe Biden, he got up there and told all those lies. And I was like, he deserved it. What did you guys think of last night?

Well, I mean, look, I particularly liked your jilted groom analogy. That was pretty good. I've always kind of wanted to go to a wedding where somebody doesn't show up and you have to look around at the crowd and see how they take it. I mean, this is what Democrats basically did to him. They just ragdolled him in public. I mean, Monday, Monday, Republicans put the Teamsters guy they didn't want the rest of the party to hear on Monday night. At least they had the common decency to do it within the confines of the hours that people still watch television. They didn't even do that to Joe Biden.

You know, I mean, with any other sitting president, you would imagine that you are introducing the new nominee. Right. I mean, if not for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris wouldn't be within a country mile of a Democratic nomination for president. And yet Monday night, late night. And also, is there no editors on that speech? The thing was like, what, 45 minutes or something like that? And in the jilted groom is a very good analogy. Another one that comes to mind. I don't know if you've ever saw that old movie Best in Show by Christopher Guest.

Of course. But there's a there's a vignette toward the beginning of it where there's this lady who's taken a tycoon, this old tycoon for all he's worth. And she's sitting next to him and she's like, people say he's so much older than me, but really, I just can't keep him off of me. And the whole time she's just taking his money and the guy can't even talk. And he's just sitting there. Jennifer Coolidge. This is what Democrats are doing to their president.

It's a really pathetic swan song to a long political career shuffled to midnight. First night of the debate, standing on that stage and saying, democracy won. Sitting on that stage as the person who won all the votes in the primary and talking about how we're going to anoint Kamala Harris, who won zero votes. How is that democracy winning? It is incredible. And Duncan also also honesty matters. He actually said honesty matters right before he said he's there. He said there are fine people on both sides. That's not to run for president. I would also point out that he said the people outside have a point. Oh, yeah. The Hamas protest. And then we have that. Hold on. Let's play that. Let's play that because he had his own both sides moment last night talking about those pro-Palestinian,

pro-Hamas protesters. Watch it. Those protests, those protesters out in the street, they have a point. A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides. He literally said both sides. He ad-libbed that. He said both sides about the pro-Hamas people who are out there saying, get yourself beaten up by the cops

for your back-to-school outfit. Smuggles? What's your take? I think everyone is saying that it was kind of your back to school outfit. Smuggles, what's your take? Well, I mean, I think everyone is saying that it was kind of like a failed night one. I think it was a tremendous success. This was Nancy Pelosi's humiliation ritual. She wanted to spike the football. And like, even when she was getting interviewed

by some reporters, she was like, I've got no problems with Joe. It was just his campaign I had some issues with. Like, she's putting it in everyone's face that she ended this guy's career. So she absolutely got what she wanted out of that. She had him shuffled onto stage at 1130 to admit defeat. And in so many ways, he admitted defeat. When he was angry and shouting about Donald Trump, the only thing that came to mind for me was, wow, he's mad at a guy who so thoroughly beat him, he surrendered and dropped out. He seemed small on that stage because he couldn't cut it. He couldn't make it to face Donald Trump. He had to throw in the towel. It also proves that the Democrats know he's

a political vulnerability. They don't want Kamala Harris associated with him inside a country mile. All right. The more she's associated as the current vice president and not this change agent with all these new positions, the worse her electoral prospects are. Yeah, it was also just hilarious what a fictional betrayal all of this was. Yeah. Right. I mean, it started at the very beginning and then it was like a cavalcade of of ridiculous has been politicians, which if you look at the lineup, four days of that, you know, but like you get Maxine Waters up on stage. Yeah. Like are you talking? Oh, yeah. A lot of hope for the future with that situation. I mean, if you're going to choreograph something for hope and change, that ain't it. That ain't it. Well, what about I mean, there was the one there were two touching moments and I'll get to them because I I do, whether it's Democrat or Republican, like the moments that make me feel something. And there was the one moment where Joe Biden came on stage after his daughter, Ashley, had introduced him and they embraced just like by the arms and spoke to each other.

And he cried. And that just is like a human. You're like, oh, that's sweet. But then he gets up there and starts spewing all this nastiness. You're like, oh, OK, not sweet. But I was still reeling from her remarks because she gets up there. And of course, you guys know we've covered it here on the MK show. She's the one who wrote this diary in which she said she took inappropriate showers with him when she was a girl.

But she said they're probably not appropriate. So she gets up there and she began her remarks as follows. I have this memory. I was eight years old. We're like, oh, no. Oh, no. My God, she's going to do it. Oh no. My God, she's going to do it. Oh my God.

Every muscle tensed up. I was like, oh no, Ashley, this is not the time. That was one moment. I'll get to the other nice moment in a minute. But here's the other thing. It was like, it was a parade of like fakes, phonies and falsehoods. Now we talked about some of the falsehoods with Joe Biden that just like litany of lies that he just keeps telling and he can get away with. But the weirdness of like the presenters and the lies that they were

telling and that, and just like the, you've got to be effing kidding me moments that I had watching them. I'm not sad. and I watched that whole damn thing from 8 p.m. forward. I was exhausted. And there is this woman, I never confessed, seen this person before, Mallory McMorrow,

Michigan State Senator. No one's seen this person before. Was that the lizard tongue lady? That was lizard tongue. All right, so first of all, I don't understand why she borrowed my wardrobe from my moot court outfit in 1993, but she definitely did. Yeah, that is a murder. It's a murder.

But she was doing the weirdest stuff with her tongue. And worse than any of that was the cluelessness of her warnings to Democrats about what Donald Trump might do if he became president again. Listen. Donald Trump would be able to weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political opponents. He could even turn the FBI into his own personal police force. That is not how it works in America. That's how it works in dictatorships. So we're in a dictator. Hello, pot.

He might even take a he might even take a misdemeanor and turn it into 40 felony charging in New York or send his send his FBI

down to your home and raid it and then parade out the evidence for a photo op that is not representative of what they found

that kind of making the FBI your own personal agent Mallory and I'm sorry you can't see the whole outfit, but she was wearing dark, dark tights with inappropriate shoes under her dark dress. I, you know what, my favorite thing about Dem conventions and this, it kind of started

with like Mario Cuomo. Uh, it was maybe before that, but my earliest memory was like Mario Cuomo and then clearly Barack Obama in 2004. There's always this person who nobody's heard of who attempts to sort of capture something that they have absolutely no business capturing. Yeah. Like the town of like Cuomo and that convention or Obama in 2004 was obvious and it vaulted them to national stardom and eventually two terms as president for Obama. But like this lady, you know, it was obvious, and it vaulted them to national stardom and eventually two terms as president for Obama. But like this lady, you know, for a fact, spent the last month thinking like, all right, I'm really going to lean into this because this is my moment. Like I too could be president if I just go out and just slam it. I think that's a

huge problem is that especially after the Barack Obama 2004 moment, you have all these backbenchers who are like, it could be me. Yeah, I could be that guy. I go up there. I give a great speech. And the next day I'm going to be president. And it's not the case. Let's look at the lizard tongue. We need to show the audience what we're talking about, because I think Mallory had a case of the dry mouth.

That's my Mallory there. There's medication that can help you with that. You don't have to live like this. Save yourself. Just, just, just Rubio, a water or something. Save us from this. Yeah. Okay. But on your point guys about wannabe stars, that leads me to AOC. Okay. It wasn't it. When I saw people on the internet praising her last night, even Republicans, some Republicans like, oh, I was a great speech. I thought, have you never actually seen an effective female public speaker? Like they think they mistake energy or like enthusiasm for effectiveness. I mean, anyone can get up there and shout at you. She can shout at you. It doesn't make you a good public speaker. It was like an assault. It was

right. Don't you feel assaulted by what I just did? That's how I felt listening to her. So I have a whole theory on, on her and I'm going to walk you through my theory and now I want your take now. Okay. I hear, so I'm going to start with what I theory. And now I want your take now. OK, I hear. So I'm going to start with what I think she was going for. AOC, which is what she was going for. Smug just made a reference to it. And it has to do with then regular Barack Obama before he ran for president in 2004 at the DNC. This is what made him a star this moment. I say to them tonight, there is not a liberal America and a conservative America. There is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and Latino America and Asian America. There's the United

States of America. The pundits, the pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue states, red states for Republicans, blue states for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around in our libraries in the red states. He would be canceled for saying that today. Yeah, you'd get booed off the stage if he said that. Their convention today has these diversified groups meeting all day, the LGBTQ caucus and the Black caucus and the Hispanic caucus.

There's not a white caucus. But anyway, okay, so that's Barack Obama, who was then an Illinois state senator in 2004, made himself a star. That's what AOC was going for. That's what they all go for. They fail. There's only one Barack Obama. There will never be another Barack Obama. I'm sorry. Find your own style. You're not good at imitation. Here was AOC's attempt and pay particular attention to the fake accent that comes in toward the end. In Kamala Harris,

we have a chance to elect a president who is for the middle class because she is from the middle class. And I, for one, am tired of hearing about how a two-bit union buster thinks of himself as more of a patriot than the woman who fights every single day to rip working people out from under the boots of greed, trampling on our way of life. Ever since I got elected, Republicans have attacked me by saying that I should go back to bartending. But let me tell you, I'm happy to any day of the week because there is nothing wrong with working for a living. Cool. Get me a skinny margarita. That's what she was going for. She was going for Barack Obama.

But this is what she reminded me of. I mean, entirely. I give you Hilaria Baldwin. I want you guys to realize that we have seven kids. And you being here to escort them to school

and to be there when they come home is not good. This woman's not Spanish. Wait. She's not Spanish-speaking. And you stay away from them because they asked me, mommy, what, like, what are these people doing? She's not Spanish speaking. So please go home because I'm not going to say anything. And Alec is not going to say anything. She's like, por favor.

How do you say cucumber? And there was this my final soundbite in this little riff. So she was a cross between Eleria, who went to a fancy boarding school in either Boston or Rhode Island, and isn't Spanish at all.

And also this guy. You may remember him from World War II as the leader of Italy. Oh my God. Oh my God. Megan is just drinking out the 50. This is hot fire today.

Wow. Agree or disagree? Well, I'm conflicted about AOC.oc i agree i agree with what you were saying but i'm conflicted about sort of who she is and how i don't think there's anybody who better captures the ethos of today's democratic party than aoc i mean we may think it's absolutely ridiculous but that is entirely consistent with everything that you see from the very top to the very bottom, from the center left to the progressive left. I mean, everything is captured by who AOC is. And I think this convention is actually a part of that, right? There's no real attempt to explain to the center of the electorate why it is that everything has sucked so bad under Joe Biden.

It's basically inventing a new reality, throwing some yelling at you, telling you you're going to fight for stuff and then just kind of expecting people to get in line behind somebody who's never gotten a single primary vote. There's no incentive for them to correct, because if you followed Twitter last night, the media was just globbing all over her. They were saying how great she was. And this is the best speech ever. So why would they ever course correct? Because the feedback loop they get is just nothing but positive. And she she was sort of alluding to this dignity of work, which, like, I think is central to the American ethos isn't isn't really a Democrat thing or a Republican thing. But instead of doing that thing and that thing alone, which everybody agrees with,

she's like working under the boot of greed. And it's like, well, when did this become a class struggle? This is a struggle session now because you work hard. And that's the thing. So I picked up on that. And I also agree with what Holmes said of how emblematic that AOC is of the party because she's a fraud, right? Yeah. This is someone who grew up in one of the most expensive parts of New York, right? Saying that, oh, we're going to fight back against the boot of greed because she's just paying lip service to that stupid socialist foot soldiers that they need out there to be a threat that, hey, listen, if you don't vote our way, there's a reason that businesses get boarded up on election day. She's completely been absorbed by the party establishment in her short time of getting

elected, winning that primary. She's now been brought into, okay, you can give a convention speech. And she's mad that she gets chased down by these Gaza protesters when she's trying to watch a movie at the theater. She's like, I'm watching a movie at the theater. Can't you save your genocide talk for some other time? She's no longer some kind of a grassroots fighter. She's Sandy from Westchester.

Exactly. AOC is Sandy from Westchester. Now she's suddenly like Latino, speaking from the Bronx. You're so fake. That entire party is a fraud. And when they talk about how they're going to help working people, they're the ones who have put the boots

on the working class's neck with the way inflation has gone up over the four years. It's a huge fraud. Is that like a Rosie Perez sort of thing you're doing there? White men can't jump. White men can't jump. I mean, that is what I hear her doing. I am imitating her imitating a Spanish person.

Oh, yeah. That's really good. That's my Spanish invitation of her Spanish. And by the way, speaking of which, now they've been doing like the parade of celebrities there. And is it tonight that Anna

Navarro is their celebrity? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Got to the celebrity now somehow. They are. Sorry, but that's like the kind of celebrity you'd find

at a Republican National Convention where they can't burn. I don't know. We had Megyn Kelly walking around national committee. That's a pretty big celebrity. So wait, you raise a very good point about the class warfare. All right. So, and they're all fakers, right? So Sandy from Westchester is not, I'm not Dino from the Bronx. And also her being like Kamala Harris, she understands middle-class

because she is from the middle class. So Kamala Harris's dad was a professor at Stanford. Her mom had a PhD from Berkeley. So she may have grown up in a duplex because the mom wasn't rich and they got a divorce young, but that doesn't make her some sort of middle class champion. She's been making hundreds of thousands of dollars on the taxpayer dime ever since she got out of school. So I hate the rewrite. Like she's actually not some poor pull herself up by the bootstraps. It's like, you know how many actual working class people would love to have had parents, double PhDs, respected, you know, PhD scientist and professor at Stanford. And she still gets to run around and say like, I'm just like you. Okay, so they're fake. And then you get this attack on somebody who

actually is not middle class, working class. I mean, he was poor. His family was poor. His mamaw did a little better, but his mom was a drug addict, JD VD. Vance, I'm speaking of, who really couldn't hold down a job. He had no father whatsoever in the picture. And this and yet he pulled himself up. He pulled himself up by by going to the military, doing a service honorably and then coming back and crushing it at Ohio State. And then he parlayed that in a Yale law school. And here are the Democrats. I'll give you Ohio Representative

Beatty speaking about the J.D. Vance story. Now, J.D. Vance likes to talk about how he's from Ohio. But as soon as he could, he ran away to Yale and Silicon Valley, cozying up with billionaires while trashing our communities. Unbelievable. Lives in Cincinnati. Leave Ohio to go to Yale. It is very, very funny for Joyce Beatty, of all people, to be calling J.D. Vance some sort of elitist when she was appointed to her husband's state rep seat. She's been a professional politician for 40 years. Yeah, that's exactly right. When J.D. Vance was deploying to Iraq and then comes back, goes to Ohio State and parlays that into Yale, she had her entire career handed to her by her husband. So it's absolutely incredible

for her, of all people, to call him the elitist. And that's the thing is the absolute hypocrisy and just moral bankruptcy of these people that's being put on display. When you have Kamala Harris being like, you know, she's she brought herself up as a champion of the middle class from every job she's ever had. She was appointed to. And every single one of those jobs was a government job being paid for by taxpayers. I don't think people realize this. When you look at who's on the ticket, you've got Tim Balls, who's been on a government job his entire lifetime. Kamala Harris, who has never worked in the private sector either. And then you've got J.D. Vance and Donald Trump. Like, how are you going to say that? You know what? I'm going to help you hardworking folks out there when you've never had to have a real job. You know, you're not going to lose a government job. Well, and I never heard this complaint about, I don't know, Barack Obama

leaving Chicago community organizing. He left him behind. Was he leaving Chicago behind? Yeah. And that's amazing. Billionaires is OK. Like I I met J.D. Vance in 17 when he was, I don't know, I guess, 34. And he had gone to law school and he might have even been younger, whatever that was. Well, let's do the math. Now it's 24. So seven, seven years ago. So he was 30, 33. He had gone to Yale. He had done the Ohio State into Yale Law School. And then he went out to Silicon Valley for, I think, five years, made some money, decided it wasn't for him. He told me personally he couldn't handle San Francisco. People were defecating on the street. He was like, I'm out of here. And so he left all that money. He left a very well paying job

with Peter Thiel and came back home to Ohio and was starting a foundation for his fellow Ohioans trying to help them improve their lives. That's what he was doing. I found him in 17. It would take a few more years before he would even run for office. So to the contrary, he left a high-paying job to come home to Ohio to figure out what he could do for them. And ultimately he ran for office there to try to do that for them. But this is not a one-off from this representative Beatty, Tim Waltz. That, what a jerk has said the same thing. Listen to him.

They're running for He-Man Women Haters Club or something. That angst that JD Vance talks about in Hillbilly Elegy, none of my hillbilly cousins went to Yale and none of them went on to be venture capitalists or whatever. It's not who people really are. Well, maybe they were dumb. I don't know anything about his hillbilly relatives.

How are we supposed to make a judgment based on that? How are we supposed to know he actually has hillbilly relatives? I mean, this guy has told lies about absolutely everything under the sun. Newest this morning in The New York Times, apparently he said that he and his wife had IVF. And yes, that wasn't true. See this? Yeah. In addition to him saying that he was Newt Rockne and led the team to the national championship, and he was actually just a defensive coordinator. And then he was in volunteer.

Yeah. Just tell the truth. You know, just say I was one of then he was in volunteer. Yeah. Just tell the truth. And, you know, just say I coach. I was one of the coaches on the team. My wife and I did that. You know, like, why do they have to exaggerate on absolutely everything? The guy is they made him into Craig T. Nelson in that TV series.

Coach T. And Friday Night Lights. He's like an assistant volunteer, expendable coach on the team and the IVF thing. It really is amazing. Tomorrow we're having on Liz Collin of alpha news. Who's been doing great reporting on Tim walls for a long time, but, but yes, that's one of the stories we're going to get into because he's, we have tape of him on camera saying we conceived our children through IVF, which JD Vance wants to ban. JD Vance doesn't want to ban IVF. That's a lie. But his wife, Gwen, came out and admitted that they conceived their children through

intrauterine insemination, which is not IVF. It's basically where they insert the man's semen directly into you with like a turkey baster. It's not where a child is conceived, sorry, in a petri dish outside of either parent. And now that's the latter. And I use the latter so I can speak to this. It's more controversial because then what do you do with the excess embryos, right? Like that's why people find IVF controversial. There's no such problem with intrauterine insemination. It's just a different means of delivering the sperm versus the one we all normally use. This is not on my bingo card. Megan's saying turkey baster.

I'm just going to get under the desk and let you all figure this out for a while. It got too graphic. I'm sorry. I didn under the desk and let you all figure it out. It got too graphic. I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to. He lied. It's another. It's just another lie.

He didn't use IVF. It's the guy. Every day there's a new lie from him. Yeah. And I understand he was introduced with, again, the wrong title yesterday. Oh, yeah. When he was speaking at the conference. Yes.

I mean. Oh, we have it. We have that. Listen to this smug. Here he is. They. Oh, yeah. When he was speaking at the conference. Yes. I mean. Oh, we have it. We have that. Listen to this smug. Here he is. They, oh, we don't have it. We don't have it, but we'll have it. But every, they know he shouldn't be called

command sergeant major. He never actually earned it. It was a temporary title that he didn't train for. Go ahead, smug. And that's why I feel fact checks aren't effective is because we already know that they have complete control over the media. Yeah.

And that the media they have say, oh, you know, the truth is important. Democracy dies in darkness. And they will like it was hilarious that C-SPAN even put across the top. We are not or we are not life checking these statements because it's a Democrat convention. Don't you know this? You people like at the same time, the Democrats are allowed to run roughshod, say whatever lies they want, which is why I think the focal point needs to not be on trying to fight facts with facts and just focus on fighting fire with fire.

The American people are in a position where they are fed up with the way things are going. And if we're not careful, the Democrats are going to try to steal that this is a change election from under us because the vast majority of the public wants a new direction from the horrible way things have been going for the past few years. And Kamala Harris is trying to run away from her part in making that happen. And instead of worrying about like, well, you know what, this is a lie, just hammer that message down. But like, you've seen what these people are capable of.

They're liars and they're horrible people. This is what we can do different. And this is what we have done differently. I think that's really well said, Smug. You know, one of the things I find so fascinating about Democratic National Conventions and things like that is you get a window into the information silo that makes up the liberal part of this country. And it's a wild place. I mean, it is almost everything that came out of anyone's mouth for God would felt like 24 hours last night was just made up. Right. I mean, it's just not at all what's happening in this country.

And to your point that you just made. I mean, they want to act as though what's happening here at this convention is somehow divorced from the reality of a Biden administration in which she was the number two. And everything's going shitty. And they just want to pretend like, I mean, there was there were comments about like, well, these Trump's lying to you about the border, the border. They basically did the border secure thing again. Yeah. You know, and they're talking about the economy. They're talking about all these things like none of it is true. Yeah. The little hyperbole in a political convention. But there also has to be just a touch of under undergirding fact. If you didn't know any better, you would think Donald Trump's the current president.

Yeah, yeah. That's the sort of election they're trying to run right now. And I mean, to Smug's point, we can't lose the fact that this election needs to be a referendum on the last four years of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We cannot have this be a choice election where she's allowed to reinvent herself and pretend like she didn't have all those crazy positions in 2019. You've got Kamala Harris, who's done nothing but fail upward. You know, she she has been elected to office, but only in blue, blue areas, California, first D.A., then attorney general, then as California senator. And then she got elevated to the vice presidency because he promised James Clyburn he'd find a black woman. And so she got elevated there. And she is not the only one who we saw on the stage last night,

who was an obvious DEI hire. That leads me to Kathy Hochul, who is another absolute moron. She is sadly the governor of the state that I spent 50 years of my life in. And she got there because Andrew Cuomo imploded and she was lieutenant governor. And amazingly, they reelected her. I mean, they reelected her. And I think, you know, watching her last night, it's because of just her soaring rhetoric, her ability to turn a phrase and just provide huge doses of inspo without much effort like this one. Watch. New York's motto is excelsior ever upward. Oh, my God. And Trump takes us ever downward. It's just that's how, you you know you completely disrespect your voter base and just hold them

in absolute contempt is that like, Trump bad. Everyone claps. Yes. I can understand that. Charisma of roadkill. Yeah.

You know? My head hurts. Horrible. She's not even the worst. Like, she was lieutenant governor. Look at the lieutenant governor in Minnesota. She's given Hochul a run for her money. This one's named Peggy Flanagan.

My name in the Ojibwe language is Gizi Wewudamukwe or in English speaks with a clear and loud voice woman. I'm a member of the White Earth Nation, and my family is the Wolf Clan. And the role of our clan is to ensure that we never leave anyone behind. That's why I am supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz to be the next president and vice president of the United States. I've worked side by side with Governor Walz. I've seen how hard he's worked for Minnesota to be the best place for kids to grow up. He does it all with a big heart, a buffalo plaid jacket and a bottomless bag of snacks. Nutter butters, cheese curds and diet do. Your tribe doesn't leave anybody behind unless you're an 82-year-old incumbent president.

It's very much behind. Well, I really appreciate that breakdown of, you know, her Native American family's history from Peggy Flanagan. Yeah. I got a feel for those tribes. You know, she probably came in. They're like, oh, liberal lady, you're so loud. We will just give you a name. We will give you a name.

If you go away, please go away. You can have a fancy name. Here's your take your Chardonnay and move off the reservation, Peggy. Just look at the look at the lineup of Democrat speakers. It's all their elite bureaucrats. Yes. The contrast between what Democrats are putting forward in primetime and what Republicans put forward, which was gold star mothers and small business owners and family members of Hamas hostages. Yeah, there were regular real people in primetime for Republicans. I think it shows you

a huge contrast in the values of each party in this election. Also, I think you touched on something really important that I've been thinking about ever since, Megan, you mentioned that, like, who is president right now? And I think the Democrats have this country exactly where they've always wanted it, is that it doesn't matter who's in leadership or who's, you know, quote, calling the shots. They've created these layers and layers of bureaucracy to just keep their machine rolling. They can even have a change of presidency. Like Trump came in as president. There were still layers and layers of this bureaucracy that can keep the work going, that can keep the money flowing to the various pet projects that they can spend $50 billion to build seven charge stations

that they can spend $40 billion and not seven charge stations, that they can spend $40 billion and not get a single wireless internet station in the ground. This is what they're after, is the machine to dole out to keep this game going. And they want to protect the lizard lady with the bad clothes that Mary was talking about.

One of the things she said, I don't know if you guys caught this, but she was like, Donald Trump might fire federal employees. Yeah, she was horrified. How soon can we get him in there? Yeah, I will tell you, OK, this is my one other nice moment of the night. I'm going to say something nice.

You know who actually I wound up liking? I like I like our politics are different. She was she hates Trump. But I like, I like our politics are different. She was, she hates Trump, but I liked this woman, Jasmine Crockett. I actually, I've only seen her being kind of a shit stir on Capitol Hill and that's fine. That's what they kind of do. But, um, she told a nice story about Kamala. I was like, this is what they should be doing. Get up there, try to rehabilitate this woman who we know is a bully from, we know this from the Washington post and other mainstream media outlets that have been

reporting on it when she was not yet the nominee, she was still just the lowly vice president. So they felt fine taking shots at her. Um, but we need stories like that, right? If her, her party needs that, if they want her to get elected. So Jasmine Crockett got up there. And at first I was like, how did this nobody get a speaking role at the convention? And then I was like, you know what? She's winning me over because she told a nice story. She talked about how she was a public defender. And so she knows a good prosecutor when she sees her.

That was good. You know, she laid the foundation 20 years. She'd been doing that before she ran for Congress. And then she told this story. When I visited the vice president's residence for the first time, as I approached Vice President Harris for our official photo, she turned to me and asked, what's wrong? Mind you, we'd never met. But she saw right through me. She saw the distress. I immediately began crying. And the most powerful woman in the world,

wipe my tears and listen. That was sweet. I like that. Nice story. Good story. Right? It was good. And I was just warming up to her.

Yeah, I'm just so cynical, though. I'm just so cynical about this stuff. OK, I was just warming up to her. And then she said this. The question before us is, will a vindictive, vile villain violate voters vision? for a better america or not i hear alliterations are back in style i'll give her this i mean she's got she's got personality right which is more than you see out of most democrats i don't really care for the wedding singer attire yeah it's not my yeah that i wouldn't achieve it's a lot it's a lot uh but you know i mean look i'm so cynical about this looking from kamala harris's point of view what do they have like a five seat majority in the house

that lady takes a walk uh they're gonna be real down like republicans are gonna be able to pass things i mean she was first elected in 22 with a very slim Republican majority. She's losing a Democratic vote. They were in the midst of a speaker fight, if you remember, where they still held out hopes that Hakeem Jeffries would actually be speaker because Republicans were self-immolating at that point. Like the idea that she's just sort of like personally drawn towards a stranger, I think is belied by the rest of her career. So you are suggesting, Josh Holmes, that Kamala Harris's wiping of the tears was

it was like, shore up, get in there and vote our way. That's exactly what I'm suggesting. I haven't known an authentic emotion from an elected Democrat in some 20 years of doing this. I mean, mean, it's just, it's all so bad. And the Dr. Seuss routine isn't bad. She's got a good personality. She's very entertaining. And it's the thing, like, I kind of don't mind, I expect them to just lie with impunity. And that's what we got. But at least if you're going to lie to me, make it entertaining. She made it entertaining. So what you're saying, I'm interested in your guys taking that. What you're saying is that Kamala Harris in that moment was another version of the weirdly smiling Nancy Pelosi. We love Joe.

Another version. Yeah, I think so. I mean, look, Nancy Pelosi is a perfect embodiment. She's been at the top. So she's had more scrutiny. And so you can see into how she operates more clearly. But it's not unique and distinct to Nancy Pelosi. It's unique and distinct to the Democratic Party to the point where if you had any questions about that, look what they did to the incumbent president United States eight weeks ago.

Right. They don't give a shit about anything other than holding on to power and whatever vestige of power that they have trying to drag this country as far left as they could possibly do it. They've caught the bus on a number of occasions. And the only thing they can do is reinvent a further left place to take us. Yeah, you're you're exactly right. When Chuck Schumer went for that private meeting with Joe Biden, it wasn't about how do we get your face on Mount Rushmore before this election? You know what I mean? You make a great point. Yeah, that's right. Thank you. Thank you, Meg. Yeah, that was big. That was the beginning of the end. Yeah. I mean, I just couldn't believe like Nancy Pelosi. She was up there. Do we have that soundbite of her

on CNN talking about how, you know, it wasn't about him. It was about about his party. But she but she admits like she's now admitting she did it. Here she is. And I know that there it was very difficult for him. That's been made very clear by some of his top aides like Anita Dunn and Ron Klain. And there does seem to be, even though Anita Dunn said earlier today, quote, nobody wants to have a fight with Nancy Pelosi at this time, unquote. It does seem like there's some residual bad blood or resentment. And I'm wondering if you've spoken to him and what your response is to that. Sometimes you just have to take a punch for the children.

And that's what you're doing right now. You're just going to take the punch for the children. I have to do what I have to do. Right. He made the decision for the country. My concern was not about the children. I have to do what I have to do. Right. He made the decision for the country. My concern was not about the president, it was about his campaign. Nobody is questioning the fact that the Democratic Party seems much better positioned right now than it did four weeks and two days ago. There's no question about that. Former Speaker Pelosi.

So why are we even talking about it? Then he said the network made him ask. That's exactly what Holmes said, because it's only in service of the mission of holding on to power. She's like, so why even talk about it? Why are we talking about anything? Questioning my methods? That's the thing. And she's not admitting she did it. It's like a threat.

Like people who think she's still not calling the shots. You think Akeem Jeffries is calling the shot? Yeah. She's like, I just I just killed a president in front of everybody. Why are we discussing if it was fair or honest or just, you know, to the voters? They don't matter. No. All that matters is that Kamala's poll numbers went up.

Yeah. It was truly like a you need me on that wall kind of moment. Yes. Yes. Yes, Colonel Jessup. I do kind of respect and I respect it that she's brazen enough to say she did it

for the children. I know. It was sort of out of left field. But also, that's a wild thing to say. Sometimes you got to take a punch for the children.

This sounds like a horrible situation. No, who's trying to punch children? Democrats. And all the way through the ninth month. Standby.

We have much more to get to, including what appeared to be a reference to sexual gratification by the CNN panel as they watched events unfold last night. Standby. Ruthless stays with us. Grand Canyon University, a private Christian

Weeks ago, when I saw him dig deep into his soul and decide to no longer seek reelection and endorse kamala harris he dug deep guys that's how it went down soul searched also whenever they made that like you

know transition from either when it was joe and even when Jill was speaking over to Kamala, didn't she seem like small? Like, you know, even among like the Nancy Pelosi's and even the Maxine Waters, it just comes off as Kamala is just like not even close in terms of like the same level as these folks who've had experience won elections. You know, it's like when they go back to her, it just kept, at least to me, it was a shock of like, this is really their presidential nominee. Yeah, they were like walking this line between passing the torch, although that's bullshit in and of itself.

It had to be ripped from his hands. He didn't want to pass the torch. I mean, he did like two months of insisting that he could still do the job and that the polling said that he would win. But it got to the point that it was sort of patronizing of Kamala, you know, like the best decision I made in my whole political career was this thing I telegraphed on day one that I'd nominate a black woman as vice president. It just happened to be this woman. That was my best decision my entire political career.

I mean, come on. I mean, he's had a lot of really bad. To your point earlier about like that, where are the real people, you know, with their real stories? What I saw that last night was the three women who have had abortions, who got up there to talk about abortion. And I have nothing but empathy for the third woman who talked about how she was raped by her stepfather. Her name is Hadley Duvall. But where she took that horrific experience in her in the conclusion, like what her takeaway was on it politically was just dead wrong. I mean, it was really wrong. Here's what she said. I can't imagine not having a choice. But today, that's the reality for many

women and girls across the country because of Donald Trump's abortion bans. He calls it a beautiful thing. What is so beautiful about a child having to carry her parents' child? You don't have to look very far to hear Donald Trump's actual position on abortion and in particular rape and incest exceptions. Listen. Yeah. Like Ronald Reagan, I believe in the exceptions. I am a person that believes. And frankly, I think it's important to believe in the exceptions. Some people, you have to follow your heart. Some people don't believe in that, but I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. I think it's very important.

Some people don't follow your heart, but you have to get elected also. Now, guys, that was not ancient history. That was at the June debate with Joe Biden. of the misinformation that was given out from the DNC floor last night on a important, an important piece of this contest. People have been debating abortion at every debate, at every appearance. What, where does Trump stand? He's made perfectly clear. He's taken shit from the right for saying what he said there. And yet I I'll wait for PolitiFact and the others to fact check. Yes, a sympathetic person who got up there and said very false things about Trump's position. Yeah, I mean, look, it's the worst kind of lie because it's wrapped up in a horrific,

highly emotional story that you can immediately sort of sympathize with and identify with of a horrible choice that this young woman had to make. But even in the setup to ultimately the big lie that she had there, she's calling it Donald Trump's abortion ban. Like, look, I understand that a convention is not the place for nuance or that kind of thing. But I mean, we're talking about a Supreme Court decision that was decided and threw these things back to a bunch of states of whom you elect your representatives and then they make the policy. The idea that Donald Trump is somehow presiding over abortion bans is entirely ridiculous. Even before you get to

the point where his stated position since the time he came down the golden escalator was exceptions for rape, incest or life and health of the mother. But there are no fact checks because the media is on their side. I mean, we say it over and over and over again, but it's true. Like we talked about this Tim Walls IVF thing in the New York Times story about the Tim Walls IVF lie. They write Tim. People assumed that Tim Walls had a baby through IVF.

They didn't they didn't write like why they assumed it. Tim Walls told people he had a baby through IVF. They had a baby through IVF. They don't fact check them like in the coach thing. Politico wrote a profile with artwork with like X's and O's and plays making him look like he was Eddie Robinson. The coach thing really riles up Ashbrook. Like the little lies he tells over and over again that are like boosted by the media rather than like checked and beat down. And I think there's a reason for that.

It's more stolen valor. It's like Duncan said of they're trying to run against Donald Trump and not the horrors of living under the Biden-Harris administration. So when they say that it's a Trump ban, they want you to think that, wow, these past four years have sucked. I guess it must have been because of Trump somehow. And they have to lie about it because are they going to be able to have a convention where they're like, let's celebrate the price of groceries going up 50 percent?

You're not getting rounds of applause with that. Kamala herself is trying to act like she wasn't a part of that, saying that like groceries have gone up by 50 percent. Well, what are you going to do about it when you were already there causing it? You need another green deal. She said she's going to use the FTC to write to write these very wrong grocery prices. You control them right now, right now, like you're in the office. That's actually something if that's your solution. Why don't you just go get that done? But she doesn't. She's banking on people not knowing any of that. Um, one of the most outrageous moments last night,

truly one of the most, I mean, cause they're joyful. They're joyful. They're the party about of uplift and on the Eve of Bill Clinton coming to the stage, right? Cause he comes not tonight, but tomorrow. So I guess two Eves away, they have the nerve to run like two separate yet equally important groups. The police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. This is the story of Donald Trump. His entire life, Trump has believed he's above the law, but no one would ever dare hold him accountable. He lies. He rips off workers. He sexually abuses women. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. He rips off workers. He sexually abuses women. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. He cheats in business. He cheated on his wife with a porn

star and paid her off so the American people wouldn't find out during an election. But in the criminal justice system, ordinary Americans have had the courage to find them accountable time and time again. Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts. For the first time in history, we have a convicted felon running for president. And to take on this case, we need a president who has spent her life prosecuting perpetrators like Donald Trump. I mean, I don't know where to begin, but let's just start with cheated on his wife. Her husband, Kamala Harris's own husband, the man who she wants us to make first gentleman, cheated on his first wife with the nanny, which honestly is worse than with a porn star,

with the nanny whom he impregnated. He did not deny this report when it was brought to him. Nobody knows what happened to the baby. Was it was the baby aborted? Is there a love child that Doug Emhoff has with this woman? We don't know because the media won't follow up on this. I didn't see that in her video last night, not to mention the Bill Clinton problems. Donald Trump is a predator. Bill Clinton's predatory behavior puts every politicians to shame. He's the OG sexual predator, and he'll be taking the stage on Wednesday night with her blessing. She'll be sitting in the audience applauding the man who was accused of raping Juanita Broderick, of sexually assaulting Kathleen Willey and Paula Jones. And I could keep going.

But you see, we're supposed to memory hole all of that because he's Bill Clinton. Yeah. Yeah, it's sadistic. Also, you know, the whole premise of her being tough on crime is just a laughable proposition. I saw an ad, I think it was MAGA Inc. or something that had a relative of somebody who was killed by a recidivist that she let out of prison in California. We all remember, obviously, the bail fund in Minneapolis that let a whole bunch of criminals out of jail after trashing the city of Minneapolis. And the rate of recidivism and violent crime amongst a few of them was astronomical, unthinkable with somebody who tries to fashion themselves as tough on crime. They just don't have – and the reason that they switched to the Trump thing, and we said this from the very beginning of why they wanted Donald Trump is because their whole game plan before they knew that they had to trash Joe Biden was if they could convict him in a court of law and just put a ceiling on his vote at like 48 percent in the states that matter with the

rhetoric that this is a convicted felon over and over and over again, they would never actually have to talk about what it is that they've done to this country. And now that they've gone through this six week period of their own struggles, but through Joe Biden overboard, they're back to the game plan. And that, that little video, I think is the best representation of the original strategy the Democrats were taking into 2024 that was on hiatus over the summer. But they're now back in action and they think they've got a winner with it. Well, it does absolutely nothing to convince a single persuadable voter in this country like that's catnip for the base and the people who are sitting there at that Democratic convention.

But if you listen to what actual persuadable voters or these double haters, you know, want to hear, they want to hear from Kamala what she actually plans to do. They want to hear policy positions and a vision for the future of the country. This whole idea of her being a prosecutor who's going to take it to Donald Trump does not motivate a single one of those people to vote for. Well, it's belied by the fact that she was never tough on. And it's also it also. Yeah. I mean, people have just they have such cynicism and such a low regard for the media and politicians at this point, you know, back to from Russiagate to covid. We got a mass toddlers. But if you're going to burn down cities with BLM, you don't have to wear a mask, you know, stuff like that. Like people are just so cynical to the point where like they don't care. They do not

care that Donald Trump was convicted of these felonies in New York. They see right through that thing. So you're going to have to give them more than this contrived notion. You're the tough on crime prosecutor. Yeah. It makes you wonder, I tell you, like some of the stuff they're saying about him, he could actually sue for it's impossible to sue as a public figure for defamation. But some of the stuff, including the lie about there are fine people on both sides. I mean, honestly, that is so untrue. It's been proven untrue. Just roll the tape of what he actually said.

You actually could recover in a court of law potentially for something like that. And that wasn't it. I mean, of course, the whole night was spent Trump bashing. Somebody did a rundown where it was like the number of, I might've screen grabbed it. This is how I prepare for the show. I see interesting things and I screen whole night was spent Trump bashing. Somebody did a rundown where it was like the number of I might have screen grabbed it. This is how I prepare for the show. I see interesting things and I screen grab them and come back to them.

But in any event, it was something like the number of the references of illegal immigration and the number of references of health care and so on. And they were just down to like the tiny numbers here. It is border eight times crime, six times times inflation three times um trump 147 times yeah that's the game plan that's the game plan they just don't they they always thought that they could prosecute this this case against donald trump by never talking about themselves and they are back on track on that for what they think and the media is certainly not going to hold them accountable but i think duncan's probably right and that when we get into the throcks of this in a post Labor Day environment, you continue to have bad economic news. Nothing is particularly optimistic and good about the tenure of this administration.

People are going to want some answers at some level. You know, it's not just going to be an emotional. Well, this person's different than the last person type choice. But but it does get them very, very close. And I think Republicans would would be making a grave mistake if they think that there isn't some persuasion power here in at least reconsolidating a Democratic base. I was going to say is it's becoming clear that Democrats view this as a base turnout election. They do not think that they have the power of persuasion on their side. And they're right about that. Yep. So the question is whether or not and that's why they ultimately kicked Joe Biden off this ticket because he had a Hamas problem and she doesn't and an elderly problem and she doesn't. It had nothing to do with the policies that are different because there is no difference, right? It's just the presentation. And if you can reconsolidate that democratic base to try to turn out in numbers of people who just hate Donald Trump, that's the only qualification for this group. So if you just hate Donald Trump.

Yeah. They poured fuel onto that fire multiple times last night. I plead that you that one ad and dark Brandon returned. And here's Raphael Warnock, one of their rising stars, Senator from the state of Georgia, U.S. Senator, weighing in. Watch. America, make no mistake. Donald Trump is a plague on the American conscience. He is a clear and present threat. Okay. It was two days ago, three days at most, that I watched a CNN panel melt down because one of the panelists, Nancy Mace, mispronounced Kamala. Watch. When you disrespect Kamala Harris by saying you will

call her whatever you want, I know you don't intend it to be that way. That's the history and legacy of white disregard for the humanity of black people. So now you're calling me racist. I didn't say that. I said that. Come on. That is complete. You don't have to intend racism. No, no, no. You are not. And Kamala Harris.

Kamala. Kamala. You said it. We don't call you Nancy. It's Kamala. You're doing this on purpose. I am not. Disrespectful.

Just a second. They don't like the disrespect, guys. It's not okay to disrespect disrespect the funniest thing is they all learned how to pronounce her name a month ago you know and first of all her name is sanskrit kamala is is a sanskrit name you know and they're trying to make it this attack on a black woman sorry it's just sort of hard to pronounce like nobody's doing it on purpose we're all trying our best even if she was doing it on purpose, who cares? You're calling him a sexual predator. You've got Raphael Warnock saying he's a clear and present threat, that he's a plague. You've got Joe Biden, who just spoke out a couple days ago,

calling him Donald Dump. F you and your phony indignation over calling her kamala instead of kamala this is so fake who would have guessed that mace would have had a tough shake on that panel i questioned the booking that did not seem like it was gonna go well from the jump and again it was what they gave 48 hours after one of their folks tried to kill donald trump to being back to, he is a clear and present threat to America. Yeah. Great points. Hitler. Yeah. Hitler. Yeah. Right. We're back to Hitler. By the way, how about the fact that that thing's been completely erased out of the memory? It's out of the news. Like didn't happen. The assassination attempt on Trump. It's truly as if it was a nothing in the news cycle when the media, it's like the line from mommy dearest. If she doesn't like you, she can make you disappear.

That's what happened. It is sad state of affairs. We have ourselves in here. Well, there's a reason for that, right? I mean, it's like he looked heroic. He looks sympathetic that it would require them to tone down their rhetoric. And they're not OK with any one of those messages, any one of those things. Meantime, you've got Trump, who he says this and the media freaks out like, oh, my God, it won't change. He's terrible. And I'm listening to him having heard all this other stuff, thinking, yes, I totally understand. Listen to SOT 31. This is Trump. What I want to do is have strong borders and good education. We want to have choice for education.

So important. So many different things you would think would be the other way. We rebuilt the military. We did so many great things. People don't know who she is. As far as the personal attacks, I'm very angry at her that she'd weaponized the justice system against me and other people. Very angry at her.

I think I'm entitled to personal attacks. Where's he wrong? He's not wrong. And, you know, that's the thing is when you'd mentioned that it's actionable legally, the things that have been said about him that, you know, these lies that defame him, like both people find people on both sides kind of thing. The one problem is good luck finding a fair court for Donald Trump. I mean, that is the issue. The reason that in New York City, you can find these trumped up charges, turn them into felonies where the feds wouldn't want to go after them because there was no merit to it. But they can make a person guilty of 40 felonies because politically they don't like him. Good luck finding a court that's going to let you do what is legal.

Yeah, he might be getting sentenced to jail, you guys, in a matter of weeks. September 18th is the sentencing day in front of Judge Mershon. Andy McCarthy is convinced he's going to get sentenced to jail with a suspended sentence, meaning he won't have to go right off to jail. He'll be given the chance to appeal. But the lawfare is not done. And this is like the crowning moment, right? Like this is what they came for. Like get a convicted felon who has been sentenced to jail.

How are you going to elect him to the presidency? But if you can say Kamala instead of Kamala or whatever it is, you're disgusting. You know, maybe it's a silver lining. Donald Trump's poll numbers were at their best when he was on trial in New York. I think if they take the brazen step of trying to sentence him to prison of any kind, they're going to be sorely, sorely mistaken on what the ramifications are of that. I think they're going to be a huge, the kind of stuff that we saw back in April when he was convicted in the first place. And all of a sudden there's a three, four point jump in his ballot question.

Well, can you explain that? Can you explain that? Cause I think the base for sure will be more animated than ever. Well, maybe not than ever. Cause I, I mean, after the assassination attempt, but the numbers, it wasn't just, but, but what about those independents? How, how would that motivate the, the independency needs? Yeah. I mean, what we saw in the spring was it went well beyond the base. In fact, there's never really been a base problem for Donald Trump. He's always had a codlock on that. What we saw happen in April is constituencies that have been harder for him to reach sort of in the center, left center, right of the electorate, predominantly women thought this guy

was getting railroaded and they couldn't believe that in this country you had a political opponent which was going to be the republican nominee for president united states being prosecuted not only by the administration of that was an incumbent but also states that ran entirely on a platform of putting this guy in jail i mean that is the antithesis of what this country was actually founded on. And when it was right in the face of the American people, it was a pretty clear choice. I mean, he was running dead even with women. He was ahead with independence. Now, we've seen all that recede over the summer and all the events and chaos that we've had from a debate and assassination attempt and everything else. But I think if they go back down

that road in September, you could see a recreation of that environment. I mean, because outside of the assassination attempt, which obviously was was a great high watermark for Donald Trump and his approval numbers jumped and everything like trying to put him in prison is the only way you can make Donald Trump sympathetic to those cohorts of electorate who otherwise don't really like the guy, because that system, the system that would put him in prison is electorate who otherwise don't really like the guy because that system, the system that would put him in prison is a system they also don't trust. Right. And so they find it.

They find that suddenly they they're on the side of Donald Trump, a person who they would otherwise never vote for. Totally right. And if this is if this really is a base motivation style election where Democrats are betting that they have to turn out their whole base. What do you think happens to our base if they try to do that to Trump on the eve of the election?

I mean, every single person is going to come out to vote on our side. Yeah, no question. Well, I mean, I think it may happen. Andy's smart. I've all along been thinking he wouldn't get a jail term, but Andy's point is that the way they tried this case is not just a business records case.

They tried it as he tried to steal an election, you know, by paying off this woman. We had our he had an obligation to let us hear what Stormy Daniels had to say and his unwillingness to allow that was a theft of Hillary Clinton's rightful victory. And thus, if that's what he's been convicted of in the eyes of these prosecutors and this jury and this judge, then why wouldn't he be sentenced to jail? That's a very serious offense to actually steal an election. And so like September 18th is an important date to circle on your calendar. It's going to be a very, very big news day. And they scheduled the hearing on whether the Supreme Court's immunity decision will vitiate the need for sentencing, right? Does it save Trump for two days in advance? It's either the hearing or his decision on that comes down. But the point is, and Andy was making this over on his podcast, they did that.

Mershon likely did that because he knows he's not going Trump's way on it. He's going to say, yeah, some things came in that otherwise shouldn't have come in because the Supreme Court said you also can't use evidence of what a president did with his official acts in any criminal case against him. But he Mershon could say, yeah, but that was immaterial. Like we would have reached the same judgment without that stuff. And his prediction is that's exactly what Mershon has decided to do.

He'll sort of give like lip service to the immunity decision and say, that doesn't affect us. And two days later, he'll sentence Donald J. Trump to jail, but then suspend the sentence pending. That's fascinating. That's a fascinating take at just a low point in our democracy, if that is in fact what happens. I will say just politically

how people consume this outside of all the great details that you laid out. I think there's a fundamental question which is easily answered by almost everybody across the ideological spectrum, which is, would these charges have been brought? Would he have been convicted if he weren't running for president? And there is nobody, no serious person anywhere in this country who thinks that they would. I mean, they had, what, 15 years to bring these record cases? It wasn't until he filed for reelection that they actually went out and filed them. I mean, that's why these things are more quickly consumed by the American people than Democratic politicians would lead you to

believe. I mean, it's going to be a dark day. Meanwhile, it's nothing but joy on the Democrat side. And I want to get to some of the joy that they felt. I mean, when they say joy, they mean joy. They mean like joy, joy at an inappropriate level. I'll put it that way. Listen, you tell me if you sense any sort of interesting somethings in Dana Bash's language last night talking about the Democrats taking in the moment. Kamala Harris appeared. She made some remarks. Listen to how she described their reaction. The crowd is really excited here. It's electric and not to mix metaphors, but it does feel like something just got uncorked. Like, you know, there's just a lot of pressure. And all of a sudden, everybody free to express their their joy. And there's no question that this is a feeling that Democrats wanted to feel. They were searching for this kind

of of energy and this kind of enthusiasm, particularly just in general, but particularly given the Republican that they're running against. I'm sorry, but I see what you're doing here. You save these kinds of things for us. Don't you make this try to get it? I do. I'm not giving this as Charles CW cook. Smug.

What was your hot take on that? So here's what I'm going to say. What else can be said? What can be said? No. I just love on the night that they were supposed to be like, we're sending off Joe. Yeah. That they're like, well, he was a cork.

Yeah. He had everything stuck in the way. He was in the way of our joy. We're popping champagne on his political grave. That's just unbelievable. I do want to say something in my defense. I did raise the Jeffrey Toobin masturbatory incident with Victor Davis Hanson. That's just unbelievable. I do want to say something in my defense. I did raise the Jeffrey Toobin masturbatory incident with Victor Davis Hanson.

So there's really no bridge I won't cross. OK, good. To get the story of the day. I'm glad to see fair and balanced all the way through. Yeah. Yeah. See, I love it. I respect you guys. I respect you.

And I don't even have to be drunk to do it. I don't have to be drunk. I can do it stone cold sober. Maybe the same cannot be said for our potential next president. I, have you guys seen the memes questioning whether Kamala Harris is, is drunk or just a dunce? Is she, is she drunk or dumb? Is she drunk or disorderly? I don't know. I'm, I'm of two minds on it. I've seen some clips where she's a little stir, a slurry, you know, I can see, and you're like, what? But some of the evidence, I was like, I don't know. We put together the montage of the clips that have been circulating as the alleged evidence that she's a boozer. And you guys, we report, you decide. Watch.

You know, we have to stay woke. Like everybody needs to be woke. And you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker, but just stay more woke than less woke. There is this wonderful word that has a great meaning and it's called hypothesis which means that you have an idea and then it is well accepted it will be tested has Wi-Fi and even USB outlets next to every seat I mean come on imagine you can charge your phone on your way home from work. That's good stuff. I'm pointing to the direction of what I believe is the Capitol. He's going to speak in a minute, but there's a lot of love in this room for our president.

Give us a hard time sometimes. And she would say to us, I don't know what's wrong with you young people. You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? I was about to go round and round. Just say, hey, Joe. Instead of saying, no, we can't, let's say, yes, we can. I call myself a joyful warrior. Right? Never let anyone take your joy from you so i i can't say you know i'm not a a doctor or whatever i guess or an officer on the side of the road making a walk of wine on this or a substance abuse counselor i just know when i have like eight or nine bourbons i think everything i'm saying is really profound mart smart, and funny. And like,

if I were being videoed, I'm probably the only person laughing. Yeah. And I bet it looks a lot like that. I don't know, man. I'm also not a doctor, but I think she's dumb. I really do. I think that's the

diagnosis is stupid. There's also sort of like a stoner mentality to her. A little bit. Maybe a gummy. That's good stuff. That's like a high schooler with munchies at the Taco Bell drive-in window at 3 in the morning. You're like, listen man, there's a USB charger in your car.

It's amazing. It's truly like you're going to hear Mr. Biden. Okay, so It's amazing. It's true. Okay. So it's an ongoing problem. There's no way she's drunk at all these public appearances. Somebody would notice. But she does have a wine bar named after her or something like that. Kind of a theme, whatever.

Here she is in Pennsylvania this weekend. And this one made the rounds. People were like, what is she saying? And as you'll see in the second soundbite we'll play, it's what we call a pattern. Okay. Listen to her in Pennsylvania this past weekend, talking about democracy. Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy. As a democracy, we know there's a duality to the nature of democracy. On the one hand, incredible strength when it is intact, incredibly strong,

and incredibly fragile. I just... This is a favorite of hers. She can't be drunk at every single one of these things, but she can be dumb at every single one of these things. That's the... That's the control.

She reminds me of, like... Oh, you got more? She's not done. Hold it. She's not done. Watch. She finds me of like, oh, you got more? She's not done. Hold it, hold it. She's not done. Watch. She loves this one. The nature of democracy is, there are two sides to it in terms of the nature of it.

There's a duality. There's a duality to the nature of democracy. When it's intact, oh, it's so strong. And it's very fragile. The nature of democracy, there's a duality to it. It has two sides to it. Democracy, there's a duality to it. On the one hand, a democracy, when it is intact, is very strong.

On the other hand, and here is the duality, democracy is also extremely fragile. It will only be as strong as the willingness of its people to fight for it. I love how she says, and here's the duality part. And here's the duality, because it's the second part. Like, you know, it's a really good rhetorical device when you have to explain it that much. Well, she's not like in the full act, each and every one, it's like she's thinking it through on the fly. It's a very simple concept. It's a pretty simple concept. Yeah. It's acting. That's exactly right. That's her acting, right? That's her fakeness.

Yep. Yep. No, that's exactly right. I mean, she reminds me of like the shittiest motivational speaker that's ever addressed a junior high anywhere in this country. Yeah. That in a cross between like a substitute teacher who has more degrees than a thermometer, but can't hold down a job. Like the combination of those two things is I think where you get like the duality, maybe mix in a tip top or a Chardonnay. And then you got like the full purpose. She just like there is no wisdom there. That's the thing that's so. Yeah, that is possible about her becoming president. You're like, there's no wisdom. There's no depth of thinking. This person's not fast on her feet. And whatever she tries to use as a stirring rhetorical device is false, empty and didn't work on me the first 10 times you tried it. But remember, remember the first three years of Biden's administration,

she was a punchline for everybody because of this. And everybody was like, oh, no, Joe Biden's not going anywhere because his insurance policy is his vice president. Nobody thinks his vice president can actually do that job. I mean, that's what everybody talked about before she got the nod to be their nominee. And now all of a sudden, everybody has to be one of her yes men staffers. The entire press has to be her yes person staffer who listens to that bullshit over and over again is like, oh, yeah, Kamala. Yeah, that sounds so smart. You killed it, boss.

You know what I mean? Everything that was once absurd that they laughed at is now as profound. Yeah, right. Yeah. And the few staffers that are left because she ran through about 10 dozen of them for the first year and a half. There were there were multiple stories written about that specific thing. Yeah, that she just couldn't hold. Like nobody wanted to work for her.

She was insane. She had these like circular logic reasoning machines and kept getting pissed off that she was put in a position of having to defend the indefensible and all these things, like that nobody liked to work for. And they're trying to make this lady president of the United States.

What a scary proposition. Yeah, right. It's why Charlie Spearing had his book. Yeah, Charlie Spearing, he's been underground. Yeah. Charlie's bearing. He's been great. Wait, can I say this? Um, they, they, now we've learned over the past week that that Lester Holt interview she gave was really jarring for her. She was shaken up by how poorly she did where he's, she's like, we've been to the border and And he, to his credit, is like, you've never been to the border. And I've never been to Europe. What's your point?

And it was disastrous. And she got criticized roundly for it. And apparently, according to the reporting, she went underground after that. She was very shaken by how poorly she did and the reaction to her and became obsessed with not repeating that mistake, not giving interviews, was worried about what Fox news might be saying about her. Got like, just very like, Oh, you know, I, my career requires me to be quiet. And she was relatively quiet after that point. You know, we saw her doing a couple of things that probably seemed like they'd be harmless, like going to the space museum. And then they weren't because she got dumb and said weird things. Um, but now they've learned

their lesson, right? She's out there and she understands she cannot do it. And they understand that too. Everyone's running cover. And the few times she's spoken out like that duality remark was the other day, you get a glimpse into the real her, like the not the curated version we keep getting forced on us by the teleprompter. And at these events like the campaign events, and I'm sure at the convention on Thursday night, if you want to talk about duality, there's your duality right there. That's right.

I mean, look, I think the one thing that you can have some confidence in is running for president with the notable exception of 2020 when they just kept Joe Biden in the basement and blamed it on COVID. I think the one thing that you can have some confidence in is running for president with the notable exception of 2020 when they just kept Joe Biden in the basement and blamed it on COVID is at some point you're going to have a revelation of who this person is, right? She has a confined timeline for that.

Usually that plays out in a primary, in the beginnings of a general election. She's trying to do all this in 90 days. But I think in 90 days, it is impossible to entirely keep that out because that's who she is. She has no business running for president of the United States. She has no business being in the office that she's currently in. And that will come out with just any exposure, I think. Right. Some people just aren't. Right. I think. Right. Some people just aren't cut out for that line of work. And that's why she didn't make it to Iowa.

She's not Obama. She thinks like, I can be Obama. I can be just like him. I can be president. Even if she becomes president, she's not Obama. She's not capable of doing what he's able to do. She just doesn't have the skill set. I mean, maybe, you know, she could be an attorney or something in California.

But like president of the United States from this woman, I just can you imagine on an international stage, the laughingstock our country will be behind her back. You know that, you know, these world leaders, they have text messages, too. They send videos to each other and laugh about it, just like everybody else. You know, they send videos of her doing exactly what you showed your audience and they're laughing at her. They'd be laughing at us. Yeah. And we're going to get a lot more just like it if she wins. They're not going to be able to keep her behind closed doors forever. There's just too many moments as president for you to ad lib or go off script.

And that's what's going to happen if she wins. I mean, it could be fun for us media people, but not so much for the country. Stand by the fellas from Ruthless.

United States Supreme Court majority wrote the following quote, women are not without electoral or political power. No kidding. The Supreme Court took electricity away from you guys. We don't use it. This whole studio is run by candle.

They just have a guy on a wheel machine just pedaling at the back. Yeah. It's just a reminder, right? It's a reminder of like how we got. It's a reminder of how incompetent the people surrounding Joe Biden are as well, that you could be his speechwriter at this point in his presidency and not know just instinctively know when you're writing. All right. Electoral. That's he can't do

that. He can't do that. It's totally right. I mean, I've written a lot of speeches for people over the years. Like you have to have some idea of the capability of the person that you're writing for. I mean, if they're not perfectly eloquent, you don't throw like seven syllable words in there back to back and try to figure it out. For him, I guess electoral is one you ought to look at. I feel like he's stumbled on that one before. I think that's not my first time seeing him stumble on that.

And insurrection shouldn't be in there either, FYI. Right. It's the reaction to that is was kind of reflected. Like you could kind of feel I tweeted this out last night and I stand by it. When Joe Biden sat down, I was like, that was it. That was. Yeah. That's what he got in exchange for giving up a presidential nomination. It was like, yay, joe but it wasn't

really that great like the the reception i'm talking about by the audience i i didn't feel the love like i didn't feel like they hated him i wasn't like oh no one's clapping but i just kind of expected more i thought we'd see tons of people crying like there was a SOT with Chris Coons before he took the stage, Biden. And this kind of is representative of how I felt watching the audience all night. Watch this, SOT 11. On behalf of our Democratic Party, for Joe, and God bless you. We love you. We love Joe. We love Joe. we love joe it's just so forced there was a woman doing the side eye right at the end like come on it's even too much for me yeah it was it was it was a retirement party i mean they did everything short of hand them the gold watch you know yes you know i i was thinking this when i was watching

the exact same thing that you're bringing up megan is this was supposed to be like you know something like reverent moment and and like capstoning this remarkable political career and expressing gratitude but again like the cynicism just seeped through all of it where it seems so fake i i thought when i was watching that of the moment when ge H.W. Bush passed away and then you saw Bob Dole was brought in to the rotunda where George H.W. Bush was in waiting and he had an aide lift him so that he could salute him. And you had more reverence shown by one person

than a room of 10,000 people were capable of because that was just fake. It was just fake. Yeah, they just don't care, right i mean that's it's on to the next really it's all a game to them it's it's on to the next and and i as an aside wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall when someone came in and had to brief the sitting president united states of his speaking slot i mean yeah when when richard Kramer profiled Joe Biden in the 1980 race and what it takes, it's a great book. I love it. I recommend it to smug. And now he recommends it

to everybody else. I just I just don't think that he could have imagined that Biden's career would end on a Monday night after eleven thirty p.m. Yeah. Oh, God, that is. I just I just don't I don't think you could have ever 50 years in politics. And that's what he gets. He did it to himself. He really did it to himself. You can't like I know we love Joe with the eye roll. It was so telling, although not to the people on MSNBC who to close the show as we began it with the fakeness of what we witnessed last night. You know, it gavel to gavel. Here's Rachel Maddow. I just feel like in America, in my 51 years of American life, I don't know of another big, civic, earnest, heartfelt,

emotional expression of thanks. You know, that we congratulate one another. We have parades for heroes and we celebrate people's victories. But to celebration of thanks and, you know, we appreciate and love you for

your civic virtue and for what you've done to our country. I mean, since we we've had since we have had parades welcoming home people who have fought in war and it has been generations since we have done that i don't know anything else like that oh my god you guys you know they still have those parades you You just don't show up. No, she shows up. She's just holding a picket sign. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's just not watching it. Right. I mean, that's it's this narrative building that happens in the left on the left in their media apparatchik.

That is a narrative building about what you're seeing that you didn't actually see. Totally. Yeah. Right. And it's even more jarring if you were, you know, one of the few that actually had to sit through the entire 45 minutes to get to the end of that and being like, well, what you've seen here is just an outpouring of love and support, which is not what it was. Right. It just just wasn't. No, it's it's improv fiction.

Most people watch improv comedy. Democrats every single day do improv fiction, and some of them do it's improv fiction. Most people watch improv comedy. Democrats every single day do improv fiction. And some of them do it better than others. It's the opposite of what they normally do, which is when we see a man, they tell us it's a woman and we should ignore our eyes. And now we have them doing the opposite. We see a lack of enthusiasm and they tell us we saw enthusiasm. I've got to end on this one. You speak of Rachel Maddow. She's normally at the protest with a placard. Could be. She shouldn't

try that in Chicago because look what happened to this guy. well they're greeting joe biden like this this is supposed to be his retirement party oh yeah there's another well-raising young man out this? This is supposed to be his retirement party. There's another well-raising young man out for civic duty. The final indignity. Duty. Operative word being duty. Well done. You guys. A pleasure. That was a special one, you guys. That was a special one. Thank you.
