It's one of the top polls out there. 2,000 registered voters. This was taken on June 28th, and it has President Biden at 45%, Donald Trump at 44%.

Donald Trump is furious about this poll right here. He's also furious that according to FiveThirtyEight, the latest FiveThirtyEight poll has President Biden winning 52 times out of 100 simulations that were run by the very well-respected FiveThirtyEight. expected, 538. And 538 upped the chances from 50 to 49 to now 52 to 47 in favor of President Biden. That's why I always say focus on what the data is. You shouldn't panic. I mean, Donald Trump looked like a ranting and raving lunatic at the debate. President Biden did not do well. He failed to show up the way he needed to. It was a bad debate for President Biden, but at least he was being honest and carrying himself with integrity, despite the fact that we know that he stutters. And as he's gotten older, he's been having more trouble with his speech. And honestly, as someone who admires the work

he's done for this country, it's sad to see that. But I think the American people are far smarter, far more decent, and far more pro-democracy loving than these media pundits give Americans credit for. Here's what Donald Trump's been writing. He goes, please, that's what he sends to his email listserv. And I subscribe to that so you don't have to. Please, it says. And it says, President Trump, you're not the president anymore. It's this weird photo of him right here. And it says, Ben, please, please answer this now that I won my debate with Sleepy Joe.

This is really important to me. Are you voting for me again? Then this message from Lara Trump, who runs the RNC because the entire Republican Party is run by Trumps now. They've taken over the whole Republican Party. And Lara Trump goes, did you see that? Message from Lara Trump. Please tell me you saw last night's debate. I knew President Trump would steal the show with a dominant performance, but I had no idea it would be such a blowout. I'm hoping to read all responses I received before our end of quarter deadline. And it's got that creepy photo of her that says, please tell me you saw last night's debate.

And like throughout this email, it's just like photographs of her. That photograph of her. There's this photograph of her. It is so utterly, utterly strange. In the meantime, President Biden is posting the following messages after giving a great speech on Friday in North Carolina. President Biden posts, today the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that the state's extreme abortion ban can go into effect. Iowa is now the 22nd state with an abortion ban imposed by Trump's MAGA allies.

That puts women's health and lives in jeopardy. Like I said at the debate, Donald Trump did this. There are now 22 state abortion bans across the United States. President Biden also says, Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation. He's a threat to our freedom. He's a threat to our democracy. He's literally a threat to everything nation. He's a threat to our freedom. He's a threat to our democracy. He's literally a threat to everything American stands for. Donald Trump is motivated by revenge and retribution, but here's the truth. Revenge and retribution never built a damn thing. President Biden says, at Dr. Biden, First Lady Jill Biden and I couldn't leave Georgia without making a quick stop at the Waffle House. And President Biden says the middle class was devastated by Donald Trump's presidency. He wants to increase their taxes.

I'm working to help middle class families. And President Biden says we're the most admired country in the world. No one wants to screw with us. And Biden says the idea that we don't need to protect our seniors is ridiculous, but Donald Trump wants to gut their healthcare. So while Donald Trump is posting, please, please, please, sleepy Joe, please tell me I won. Am I the winner? Me, me, me. President Biden is talking about we the people and actual policies and what he has delivered and what he wants to deliver. Also, Donald Trump got more bad news

in the form of President Biden far out raising Donald Trump in small dollar donations following the debate. President Biden raised $14 million to Donald Trump's $8 million following the debate. Then Donald Trump gave that disastrous speech in Virginia, where he started talking about Hannibal Lecter and all of these weird things. Here's what Donald Trump said about his fictitious conversation that he believes is real with Hannibal Lecter, who Trump calls the late great Hannibal Lecter. Play this clip. Silence of the Lamb. The press always says, why does he ramble about silence of the Lamb, the late great Hannibal Lecter? He'd like to have you over for dinner. Did you ever? Don't do it. If he suggests I'd like to have you for dinner, don't go. But these are the people,

these are the people that are coming into our country. Donald Trump then bashed his own former chief of staff, General John Kelly. And Donald Trump said how horrible his former chief of Staff is in the speech. Play this clip. General Cain, right? Raisin Cain. You know that story. Raisin Cain.

He was great. Great general. Real general. Not the television. We have a lot of television generals. They're no good. Like Billy. How about Billy?

We had some, like the dumbest of them all, General Kelly. He didn't know he was lost in the White House. That poor guy didn't know what the hell was happening. He was like a lost, we used to call him a lost soul. On the other hand, President Biden delivered a very powerful speech. But before showing you that, let me show you this Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett. Just spitting facts here. This was her yesterday saying all this talk from these pundits and media about

abandoning Biden. What are you talking about? Stop it. Here, play this clip. Here's the reality. If you are going to dump somebody because you don't appreciate how they, quote unquote, performed in 90 minutes, and you're gonna discount everything that they've done for almost 50 years in this country, then honestly, it's not him that I'm worried about.

I'm worried about the people that said that they had his back. The reality is that we see the Republicans will ride with a dude who's got 34 freaking felony convictions and over 50 more counts pending against him. People need to decide that they are going to choose themselves. And if they vote for Donald Trump, God bless us all because he is only choosing him. That is all he's ever done. That's what he's going to continue to do. And to reward somebody for standing up there spewing lies and spewing nonsense is ridiculous. You don't have to be in love with the president, but you should be in love with yourself and say, I deserve more of democracy. I deserve more as relates to my bodily autonomy. I deserve more as it relates to economic opportunities. The only person that even answered one economic question was Donald Trump. I'm sorry.

I'm just as crazy this morning. Was Joe Biden. Donald Trump wouldn't answer anything about the economy. Now, if people say the number one issue they have is the economy, you would think that they would at least say, well, he didn't answer anything about childcare. He didn't answer anything about making sure that there's more economic opportunities for black folk. He didn't answer anything on the economy. So why people think he better at it, I don't even know. Hey, Midas Mighty, with all these videos that I've been doing recently, and as I get a little bit older, it's important that I take care of my body, take care of my health, just be a little bit more intentional with the way I live. It's why I eat Mosh Bars daily. Mosh was founded by Maria Shriver and her son, Patrick Schwarzenegger. Their mission was to create a conversation about brain health through food education and research.

You see, Maria's father suffered from Alzheimer's, and since then, she and her son Patrick have dedicated themselves to finding ways to help other families with this debilitating disease. So they joined forces with some of the top scientists and functional nutritionists to go beyond your average protein bar with 10 delicious flavors, including three that are plant-based, each Mosh bar is made with ingredients to support brain health, like ashwagandha, lion's mane, collagen, and omega-3s. And now, Mosh has a new look and new formulation, featuring a game-changing brain-boosting ingredient

you're not going to find in any other bar. Mosh is now the first and only food brand boosted with Cognizant, a premium nootropic that supplies the brain with a patented form of cytoclean. I've absolutely loved the flavor of their banana bread bars and nothing feels better than getting a nutritious energy kick while knowing it's supporting my brain health. So if you want to find ways to give back to others and fuel your body and your brain, Mosh Bars are the perfect choice for you.

Thanks for sponsoring this episode. Also, Democratic Congress member Garcia, we've had on the show a bunch of times, said the same thing. We're here to support.

We're rallying around President Biden. Play this clip. No, look, the election is still months away. Joe Biden is going to work really hard to win every single vote, especially in swing states. And there have been other focus groups, other conversations last night where actually Joe Biden excelled. We saw that happening with groups of Latino undecided voters, where Latinos actually believe that Joe Biden came out on top of the debate, that he spoke to their issues versus someone that of course attacks immigrants, attacks Latinos, and doubled down on xenophobic rhetoric again last night, essentially saying that we've somehow uncivilized the country. I mean, this is someone that has

called Latinos rapists and murderers. And so as an immigrant myself, I take offense to that and want to ensure that we support someone that's always stood up for our community, but also the country at large. And so there's going to be different polls and focus groups. What really matters is moving forward. We had our best fundraising hour on record from grassroots supporters post-debate. That tells you that grassroots is with Joe Biden. We're with Joe Biden. He's our nominee. And I look forward to the weeks ahead. Here was President Biden at the speech that he gave in North Carolina. Very powerful speech. Play this clip. Close to this. Well, I know. Well.

Well. I don't. Folks. I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. I know. I know. I know right from wrong. And I know how to do this job.

I know how to get things done. And I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up. Here's another clip of that speech of President Biden. Let's play it. And we're still the beacon to the world. We can never give up what makes America, America. Donald Trump is motivated by revenge and retribution. Well, revenge and retribution never build a damn thing. You and I, we Americans are a nation of hope, optimism, and possibilities. That's what always built America. That's going to continue to build America today. The choice in this election is simple.

Donald Trump will destroy our democracy. I will defend it. So folks, are you with me? By the way, I'll do a whole nother hot take on this. Donald Trump's plane was parked at Dulles Airport in Virginia. Look what it was parked next to, the Russian embassy staff plane. Hmm. Hmm. Document exchange. Hmm. What's going on there? We will be covering that in more detail in another hot take. And former President Obama saying bad debate nights happen, but President Biden has done a great deal for our country. Former President Clinton echoing that and saying the same thing there.

Some powerful, powerful stuff. Here, by the way, is the new ad that was just released by the Biden campaign. Donald Trump doesn't care about you. Here, play this clip. Suckers and losers. On January 6th, we respected all over the world. They're taking black jobs. Put three great Supreme Court justices on the court, and they happen to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade. It's been a great thing. My retribution is going to be a success. Finally, I want to share this with you. I receive

this. I get emails all the time from members of the Midas Mighty. This one resonated with me. The person was okay with me sharing it. Didn't say I could use their name, but one way or the other, so I don't want to assume. But this is what the person sent me, and I get thousands of emails like this every day, but this one resonated. Ben, I'm going to speak my conscience in this post. I very rarely speak out about my political thoughts. Being firmly independent, I look deeply into all sides of the contest. I may lose friends from this post. I may lose the respect of people I consider family. But I think everyone can respect from knowing me that I think exceedingly deeply about everything. Joe Biden indeed delivered a poor performance

at last night's debate. I'll investigate the reasons why, but at the moment it is besides the point. Unfortunately, his opponent gave a similar performance, just in a different manner. Honesty and substance are what make a leader great. Whether or not Donald Trump has the potential to be that leader is painfully obvious. I have tried to put myself into his mindset to try to make sense of it, and I have found myself in a very dark place, a place that I had hoped my mind would never wander to again. He can see only the path that paints a golden road for himself. It is easy to sway the beliefs of many people with colorful, shiny lies. What is considerably more difficult is attempting to pierce those falsities

with truth. I had hoped that perhaps he could steer away from that dark path because I endeavor to see the good in everyone, but some refuse to turn from a path they chose long ago. Turning back to the president, yes, Joe Biden did not perform at his best last night, but I can honestly say that I haven't been moved to tears by a presidential speech since I listened to the reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. What Joe Biden delivered here in the speech at North Carolina was truly something to behold. You find the true measure of a man when you can feel the passion of his words reverberate in your soul. His entire heart burns for every single one of us that call this country home. You may despise him and you may be against his policies and actions, but at least he has them and staunchly defends them just as he

is willing to defend every one of us and all oppressed people around the world. He may not be the leader you want, but after what I have just watched, he is the leader that you deserve. I am fully behind this old man, this old Joe, because having the ability to stir the emotions in me that I had to learn so long ago is something that I find special. Having the heart and strength to get knocked down for what you believe in and to get back up again is as American as you can get, and he's got that in spades. I have steeled myself for any comments or ill will I may get from this post, but it is simply one man writing the thoughts of his conscience. I pray that you who have read this and its entire research yours as well. I respect and love you all as Americans, and we will get through this in the

end, I hope, together. I'll leave you with that. I thought that was a very, very, very powerful message indeed. Let me know what you think in the comments. Hit subscribe.
