Let's take a look at what Donald Trump has been posting, saying, emailing. Let's compare it to what President Biden has been posting and saying and the speeches that he's been giving because the contrast cannot be more stark. Look, Donald Trump wants to try to push President Biden out of this race. I think Donald Trump recognizes that Biden will beat him because despite all of the media propaganda out there, I think Americans want someone who is decent. They want normalcy. They want someone who cares about our democracy.

And I think Americans realize who's actually delivering for them and who's just talking about themselves. Like, take a look. This is what Donald Trump's been emailing to those on his listserv. So I'm on it so you don't have to be. Donald Trump writes, would you to those on his listserv. So I'm on it. So you don't have to be. Donald Trump writes, would you put me on Mount Rushmore? That's the email that he sends to his supporters. Would you put me on Mount Rushmore? In honor of this beautiful holiday, I've got a question that I want to ask true Trump patriots, not American patriots, true Trump patriots, he says, like Ben. And he goes, am I the greatest president in American history? Respond to Trump. I. He talks about you all the time.

Through every single indictment, hoax, raid, arrest, and witch hunt, it's your patriotic support that keeps him going. Like, how does anybody actually fall for this crap? The Trump family loves Ben, especially my father. He talks about you all the time. Like, the MAGA people actually believe this, this stuff. And what are they even talking about? I love you. What in the world? How about this one? Have you seen this official Trump merch? Have you seen the official Trump gold USA flag pin yet? Yeah, we see it. You email it five times a day for people to buy this silly pin for, and frankly, traitorous pin for $1,000. This is my most popular item, and it's the American flag with Trump's name on it.

Should I be on Mount Rushmore, Trump's name on the flag, saying that my daddy loves you? What in the world is going on here? How about this one? I want to give you a call. We've got a lot to talk about. Here it is. I just got word that my rigged sentencing will be delayed. And before I speak to any of my advisors, I want to hear from you, Ben. This is our best shot to kill the illegal prosecutions before they go any further. Please respond to Trump today. And by the way, there's a reason why he uses language like best shot and kill illegal prosecutions because he is trying to,

and he is, priming his MAGA violence supporters for more violence. That's what Trump's saying compared to what President Biden is saying and doing. President Biden goes, a record 15.7 million jobs created during my administration. Today's jobs report shows that 206,000 new jobs were created last month and a record 15.7 million jobs created during my administration. Yes, we have more work to do, but wages are growing faster than prices and we're seeing the highest share of working-age Americans in the workforce in generations. President Biden also writes, Jill and I were honored to host military families at the White House this Independence Day. We'll never be able to repay you for your sacrifice, but I give you my word as a Biden, I'll keep doing everything in my

power to care for you and your loved ones. You want to talk about legislation? The PACT Act. Over one million claims from disabled veterans who needed life-saving care that they would potentially have died, but for the PACT Act being pushed and passed and put into law by President Biden, one million claims filed. That's President Biden actually delivering for our veterans the same way he's lowered prescription drug prices, the way he's opened access to affordable health care, the way he's protected Social Security and Medicare. So President Biden actually doing things. On the other hand, what has Donald Trump been doing? Well, we've got some leaked footage of him. During a July 4th Zoom call with veterans, Donald Trump tries to take credit for Veterans

Choice, which he had nothing to do with. Here, play this clip. Doing our country. That's what they're doing. And our military, we do, as you know, we did two choice, Veterans Choice, where for our VA, where we had the highest rating that I think that anybody's ever had. We were at 92%. Now it's back down into the 40s again,

but we had Veterans Choice. So during his July 4th speech, Donald Trump says that the military leaders are too woke. Play this clip. This all happened over the last three and a half years. And we're going to straighten things out. We're going to straighten them out fast. So between the borders open and the military that they let go to hell. And by the way, we don't have a woke military. We have some woke people. We do a lot every day. And typically at night, I need something to wind down.

But I'm sick of all the calories, nasty hangovers, bloating, and other negative health implications that can come with having a glass of wine before bed. That's why I'm obsessed with Soul's new out-of-office THC gummies, perfectly microdosed to get you blissed, not blitzed. This podcast is sponsored by Soul.

What is Donald Trump doing as well? Donald Trump is also posting that he doesn't know anything about Project 2025, and he expects us to believe that. I mean, your top advisor is the leader of Project 2025. You praised him and the other drafter of Project 2025. Your press secretary, Caroline Levitt, cuts ads for Project 2025. Your super PAC does ad after ad after ad about Project 2025. All of the Project 2025 policies to try to turn our country into a fascist state you talk about, but here he is lying. How do you know Trump is lying? He wakes up out of bed. That's how you know, because all Trump knows how to do is lie. Here's his post right here saying that he doesn't have anything to do with Project 2025. I know nothing about it. He says, I have known nothing about Project 2025.

I have no idea who's behind it. I disagree with some of the things they're saying. And some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything I do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with it. Really, you have nothing to do with it because there are posts with you praising the leader of Project 2025. There are many posts with you saying that you think, here it is. Kevin Roberts, the highly respected president of the Heritage Foundation, was a smart and wonderful guest as interviewed by Pete Hegseth on Fox & Friends. Keep going, Kevin.

Get the word out about Project 2025. That's what the guy's talking about. Here's another interview with Kevin Roberts where he talks about leading a revolution against the United States of America, which will be bloodless, he says, if the left lets them play this clip. We're in the process of taking this country back. No one in the audience should be despairing. No one should be discouraged. We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday. And in spite of all of the injustice, which, of course, friends and audience the Constitution. That Supreme Court ruling yesterday on immunity is vital. And it's vital for a lot of reasons. But I would go to Federalist No. 70. If people in the audience are looking for something to read over Independence Day weekend,

in addition to rereading the Declaration of Independence, read Hamilton's No. 70, because there, along with some other essays, in some other essays, he talks about the importance of a vigorous executive. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates and understand that the left has taken over our institutions. The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning. And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American revolution, which will remain bloodless

if the left allows it to be. And the Heritage Foundation posted that as well, that they are leading a revolution against the United States of America. By the way, here's Donald Trump praising Kevin Roberts at a recent speech as well. Play this clip. Your organization is named the Heritage Foundation because you understand that our glorious heritage is the foundation of everything we hope to achieve, which is why we need the help of the Heritage Foundation and everyone here tonight to get our tax cuts through the House, through the Senate. And again, Donald Trump's senior advisors work for the Heritage Foundation, praises the Heritage Foundation. Let me show you this one. This is Kevin Roberts also saying, I'll do a whole nother hot take on this, but saying

that none of this would be possible if it wasn't for Donald Trump. Play this clip. We want no credit. We want the American people, if President Trump is elected again, President Trump and his administration to take credit for that. But it will also be a great sign if all of this is successful, that in fact, as we know in our prayer time, but it will also be a great sign if all of this is successful, that in fact, as we know in our prayer time, but maybe not every time when we're watching the news, that the Lord is still smiling upon America. I'm telling you, everything this guy says is a freaking lie. All he knows how to do is lie. And then you have the corporate media goes, well, we're going to have to fact check you if you call him out, Midas Touch, because Trump said he doesn't know what Project 2025 is. So I guess we're going to have to do a fact check. Yeah, he lies about everything.

I'm showing you the clips of him with the guy all the time. That is people run Project 2025. How about you use a modicum of intelligence, corporate media? Oh, but you're not going to do that because you're pushing a narrative that you want, whether it's for ratings or your own money because you're funded by billionaires and deca millionaires. This is what you want. I get it. Just admit who you are. Hasn't this been such a mask off moment as well for a lot of the media? And by the way, let me just show you this full clip right here of President Biden confronting the media where they're like, well, shouldn't you drop out? He's like, no, you're wrong about everything. I'm not dropping out. You're literally wrong about every single thing. Here, play this clip.

Are you completely ruling that out. President, how can people like the President of the United States, the President of the United States, say you are the best candidate to be Donald Trump? Because I've been here before and I've gotten more done than any president has. Have you spoken to members of Congress? No, but you've been wrong about everything so far. You were wrong about 2020. You were wrong about 2022. We were going to get wiped out.

Remember the red wave? You were wrong about 2023. You said all to get wiped out. Remember the red wave? You were wrong about 2023. You said all the tough races, we won them all but two. So, look, we'll see. Have you spoken to members of Congress? I have. Who have you spoken to? At least 20.

What are they telling you? What are they telling you, sir? They're telling me to stay in the race. What about the people who have called for their gathering together to call for you to step aside? Are you center of Mark Porter's or other people? Well, Mark Porter, by and large, is the only one considering that. No one else has called me. Do you value the thoughts of the officials in your parliament?

I hope they'll debate me. I wouldn't be surprised if he does. And if he's in, will you commit to debating him? I'm committing now, absolutely, whether he's in or not. Do you value the thoughts of members of your own party when it comes to your decision to stay in the race? Sure I do. That's why they've said, you guys saw the governors. Every one of them in that room. All those governors said, stay in the race. Laura Haley.

Laura Haley didn't say anything when I was in the room. Okay? in the race. Laura Haley didn't say anything when I was in the room. Okay. Do you make changes to your campaign staff at all after the debate? We're adding, look, we just added another 120 staffers. We have the most extensive staff operation in the states. And are you pleased with your advisors and how they're seeing you through this moment in your campaign? Any mistake made is my fault. Thank you. Are you confident you can serve another four years? I'm positive. President Biden, you always talk to young people. You're so committed to talking to young people.

Why not let someone younger take the country forward? This is hard to ask. Why not let every CEO take the country forward? That's not the ask. Why not let every CEO have a succession plan? By the way, you do have succession plans. What do I need a succession plan for? Then President Biden gave an incredible speech in Wisconsin. And here's a clip of what he had to say. And I and you are not finished yet.

And you probably also noticed a lot of discussion about my age. I know I look 40. I keep seeing all those stories about I'm being too old. Let me say something. I was too old. I wasn't too old to create over 15 million new jobs. To make sure 21 million Americans are insured under the Affordable Care Act. To be big farmer, the first one to ever do that and lower the cost of this than $35 a year.

Was I too old to relieve student debt for nearly 5 million Americans in growth economies. Too old to put the first black woman on the Supreme Court of the United States of America. To sign the Respect for Marriage Act. They're too old to sign the most significant gun safety law in 30 years? The past, the biggest climate bill in the history of the world, not here, the history of the world. But then my critics say, sure, but he did all that. But that was in the past. What about now? Well, how about the 200,000 jobs we announced yesterday? So let me ask you, what do you think?

You think I'm too old to restore Roe v. Wade to law of the land? You think I'm too old to ban assault weapons again? To protect Social Security and Medicare? One more clip I'll show you from Wisconsin. All of me. Ultimately, the American presidency is about character, the character, the president who holds the job. Because with the immunity he's talking to, which we've just talked about, it gets down

to that. It gets down to that. It's about honesty. It's about the president's decency, integrity. Do they respect people? Or do they incite violence and hate? Can they honor the oath of the Constitution and uphold their oath of office? Well, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say Trump has failed on every one of these character tests. Every one. And what's worse, the Supreme Court has just ruled that there are virtually no limits on

the power of the presidency. I know it sounds bizarre, but that's what they ruled. A frightening decision. According to an extreme majority of the Supreme Court, the president is now above the law. We just celebrated the Fourth of July, saying we will not be ruled by a king. And this Supreme Court he appointed approved this new law. It's in a dangerous precedent, especially if Donald Trump is returned to the presidency.

Just think about it. The second term, this next term, whomever is the president is going to appoint at least two new appointees. The second Trump term, where there are no limits. Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor warned us about that and her dissent in that case. This is it. She noted that based on a majority decision, Trump can take out his opponents, I mean physically take them out, take bribes, lead a coup, and be immune to ever being held accountable for it if he did it while he was president, according to the Supreme Court.

I mean, where the hell are we? So he really could become a dictator that he promised to be on day one. For over two centuries, America has been a free, democratic nation. And I'll be damned if in the year 2024, just two years before our 250th anniversary as a nation, I'll let Donald Trump take this away. Folks, this is not hyperbole. This race is about our freedom. It's about our democracy.

It's about the very soul of America. Are you prepared to fight for that? I know I am and I will. Folks, I have never been more optimistic about America's future, because the American people are decent, good, honorable. You just have to remember who in God's name we are. We're the United States of America. I mean it.

Think about it. Think about it in little terms. And there's nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we stand together. So let's stand together with this election and exile Donald Trump politically. God bless you all. May God protect our troops. Thank you. Thank you. Well, I won't back down. No, I won't back down. You can stand me up at the gates of hell. Let me know what you think.
