Starting point is 00:00:00 Stop. Do you know how fast you were going? I'm going to have to write you a ticket to my new movie, The Naked Gun. Liam Nissan. Buy your tickets now. I get a free Tilly Dog. Not included. The Naked Gun. Tickets on sale now. August 1st. can only be described in no hyperbole as a coup in the Democratic Party. As a true insurrection, Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee for president in 2024. A special edition of The Will Kane Show, which normally streams every Monday through Thursday, live at 12 o'clock Eastern time, at Fox News.com on the Fox News YouTube channel and the Fox News Facebook page.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Always on demand at Apple, Spotify, or by subscribing on YouTube, where you'll get episodes such as this, special instant reaction to Joe Biden announcing he will not seek the nomination for president of the United States. It's the first time since 1968, since Lyndon Baines Johnson, that a sitting president did not seek re-election. I want to walk through the history today. talk about who will inherit the mantle, who could possibly challenge Vice President Kamala Harris. What's the process at the Democratic Convention? Who has so far endorsed Kamala Harris and the effort to turn Joe Biden into a hero? But I think we have to start today with the fact that an insurrection, a coup has been completed within the Democrat. party. The will of the Democratic voter, those people that went to the ballot box in the
Starting point is 00:02:03 primaries in their state, was that Joe Biden would be their nominee for president. And I think it is earth-shattering. I think it rocks the United States of America and perhaps its delusion of self-governance to its very core and to the foundation to see that Joe Biden was forced out by an oligarchy of corporate media, rich billionaire donors, and political elite, completely deleting the Democrat voter, showing them that their vote, their voice was absolutely impotent. And it was done. It was done while raising the banner, running through the battlefield, and screaming that they are the protectors of democracy. I mean, This is absolutely comical.
Starting point is 00:02:59 It's sad. It's scandalous. And quite honestly, it should make every single one of us reflect on the idea that we are a self-governing republic. A sitting president, one who clearly, clearly wanted to seek re-election, was bullied, harassed, threatened, and pushed out of the race after the voters had already selected him by some oligarchy. who control the power, the bosses among the Democrats. I don't think this can be overstated. I don't think you can find a word that is hyperbolic. I think this is an absolute and pure scandal.
Starting point is 00:03:40 And if you want to double down on scandal, the exact people that participated in a cover-up of the senility of the sitting president who dismissed just a few weeks ago any questions over his frailty as cheapfakes, who lied to the American public for three and a half years. The exact people who perpetuated this cover-up are those that stand to benefit from now his undeniable and obvious senility. Notably, the chief cover-up now looks to be the leading candidate as a Democrat for President of the United States. Kamala Harris. David Sacks, Silicon Valley, rich guy, recent convert from Democrat to Republican, tweeted the following. First they told us there was nothing wrong with Biden. Then they threatened to destroy him if he didn't leave the race.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Now they're calling him a hero. How can you not be sickened by these people? He's referencing, for example, the praise for Joe Biden now that he is. stepped aside and cleared the decks and allowed someone else to step in to take Donald Trump. Nancy Pelosi, former House Speaker, tweeted, President Joe Biden is a patriotic American who has always put our country first. His legacy of vision, values, and leadership make him one of the most consequential presidents in American history with love and gratitude to President Biden for always believing in the promise of America and giving people the opportunity to reach their fulfillment. God blessed America with Joe Biden's greatness and goodness. This as she wipes the blood off the knife she just stabbed into the back of Joe Biden. This is modern American
Starting point is 00:05:37 Julius Caesar. And this is Brutus. Nancy Pelosi is Brutus. She is the bully. She is the ringleader. She is the one who threatens. She is the mob boss. who forced him to his knees, forced him to the sidelines, forced him into the history books, now saying what a great figure he is in America. Let's take a minute here and talk about how suddenly the dialogue is about to change.
Starting point is 00:06:08 And when I say change, it's about to change on a dime in America. Joe Biden is going to be feted as a hero. As David Sachs points out, this is going to happen within about a 12-hour period after all those voices and all those powers painted him accurately as a senile old man incapable of running for office. Those very same voices will now lift him up and exalt him as someone who sacrificed himself at the altar of democracy. That has never been Joe Biden. It will be a
Starting point is 00:06:42 complete falsehood. It will be fiction. Joe Biden has, from the beginning of his career, been a Craven politician. Now, you might like his politics, but not even you who agree with the policies of Democrats can look at Joe Biden and say he is a selfless American. Joe Biden didn't want to leave the race for president. And he shouldn't have had to leave the voice for president, because again, he was picked by the voters in the Democratic Party. But he didn't want to leave. He was forced to leave. That's not the act of a hero. He has from the beginning of his career plagiarized and lied and run for president repeatedly. He has, as all evidence points, surrounded himself with people who have gotten wealthy off his political largesse, from his brother to his son. Joe Biden
Starting point is 00:07:35 has reverted to anger when challenged. He has dug his heels in as he considers himself a party outsider, everyday Joe, Amtrak Joe. He is not somebody who has placed the greater good, the Republican, even our fake democracy, because we are a constitutional republic, above the will of the people. He has never, ever put himself, himself behind America. And now they will turn, and they will call him a hero. What will also happen in a matter of hours is it that Kamala Harris will become the greatest person ever born into America. Charles C.W. Cook, a writer at National Review, an excellent writer at National Review said,
Starting point is 00:08:27 watch what's about to happen in the media when it comes to Kamala Harris. And if you dare question Kamala Harris' greatness that she might be in the running now for the fifth spot on Mount Rushmore, well, you know how that's going to go. Well, you're going to be racist. The race card is about to be dealt face up. The race card is going to fly around the card table. It's going to challenge 2020. I mean, Aunt Jemima didn't survive the first time, and I don't know if Uncle Ben is still around, but he will certainly not survive 2024.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Question Kamala Harris' record, racist. Question Kamala Harris has passed, racist. Question Kamala Harris' failures, as the borders are. racist. Question how she rose to power and fame. Racist. Dare support Donald Trump? Racist. Now, I think that knife has been dulled. I think that accusation has been blunted. But that doesn't mean it's going to, they're going to wield that sword no matter how dull the blade. Trust me, everything, everything in America is about to become racist. But I don't think we can move beyond this idea. incredibly, in my estimation, again, foundation-shattering idea that they have subverted democracy
Starting point is 00:09:47 while destroying democracy. There is literally nothing we can take seriously from someone who thwarts the will of the voter while yelling that they're defending democracy. It should make us also not just look forward, but look backwards. I mean, these are the very same people that said you shouldn't question, COVID, the vaccine. the death rates, the hospitalization rates, masks, child vaccination, school closures. These are the very same people who tell you that Donald Trump is a Russian asset, that he was cool with Russian bounties on American soldiers,
Starting point is 00:10:24 that he said to drink bleach, that he's a threat to democracy, that he said Nazis were very fine people. These are the very same people that have perpetuated hoax after hoax and propaganda after propaganda. And I don't think I have to remind you, because it should be fresh that just three, weeks ago, they were telling you that it was inappropriate, that it was a conspiracy, that it was a cheap fake to question Joe Biden's frailty. Just a few months ago, Laura Trump appeared on CNN talking to Jake Tapper. Laura Trump uttered the words. Tapper was challenging her about whether or not she was making fun of Joe Biden's stutter.
Starting point is 00:11:10 She's like, no, I don't, I didn't even know he had a stutter. Remember the weird stutter, get out of jail free card? Remember the weird stutter rip cord on the parachute any time you question Joe Biden's mind? She said, I didn't even know that he had a stutter. Tapper pressed, moral high ground. How dare you make fun of somebody with a disability? Trump said, I didn't even know that.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I was actually questioning his cognitive ability, at which point, steam came out of Tapper's ears. The wheels ground to a halt. The CNN TV moral high ground went, I can't allow you to perpetuate that on our airwaves. You have no evidence. You are not a doctor. How do you designate, diagnosed from afar?
Starting point is 00:11:53 Just a few months ago, this was the propaganda about Joe Biden's cognitive ability. And now they literally conducted an intra-party coup because of Joe Biden's cognitive inability. And I should say, not because of his inability to run the office of the presidency, but because of his inability and solely his inability to, again, win the office of the presidency. Donald Trump has already tweeted out, if he's incapable of running, he's incapable of governing. If he's incapable of running for office, he's incapable of running the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:12:38 It should be a call today. It should be a call among his cabinet. It should be a call of all the people that are freshly taking their blades out of the back of Joe Biden to invoke the 25th Amendment. You cannot leave the United States of America compromised for August, September, October, November, and December. You can't leave us in a position leaderless because we have a president who's deep indecinility. No, no, no. If all of a sudden you have moral high ground, if all of a sudden you're willing to tell the truth, if all of a sudden you're willing to force him out because of his abilities,
Starting point is 00:13:15 you have to force him out of the office. It is a matter of national security. You might as well go ahead and finish the coup. Install Kamala Harris. invoked the 25th Amendment. And what will happen? Will it be Kamala Harris? Here's the mechanics of what's going on right now.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Democratic leaders are lining up behind the vice president of the United States. The Congressional Black Caucus has moved to back Kamala Harris. Members of the squad, at least one, in Congresswoman Jaya Paul, have endorsed Kamala Harris. And perhaps most notably, Bill and Hillary Clinton have endorsed Kamala Harris. Notably, very notably, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has not endorsed Kamala Harris. And even more notably, Barack Obama declined so far to endorse the vice president. Olivia Nuzi, who recently wrote the piece in New York Magazine, revealing months of concern of Joe Biden's health, throughout Barack Obama not endorsing Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Quote, I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. So what is that process? Well, Joe Biden, again, through a fake primary, has all of the delegates, virtually, all of the delegates within the Democratic Party pledged to his nomination as the president, as the nominee for president of the United States. If he's not going to seek reelection, those delegates, some 3,000, become free to vote however they'd like. In order for a candidate to win now, the Democratic nominee, they have to win a majority. They could do it as soon as the roll call at the Democratic National Convention or a virtual
Starting point is 00:15:21 roll call. Some are suggesting could happen in early August before the DNC. Any candidate would have to win something like in the vicinity of 1,600 votes from those delegates, the majority, regardless of the number, the majority of the delegates involved in the DNC. Now, if no one wins a majority on the first round of voting, it can be opened up to any number of candidates. You only have to have 300 delegates voting for you to get yourself into the running. And you would go through round after round after round of voting. That's when you hear of things coming in like a brokered convention because supporters of one candidate could go and throw their weight behind another candidate if perhaps you have a combined ticket. It is time to take the quiz.
Starting point is 00:16:14 It's five questions in less than five minutes. We ask people on the streets of New York City to play along let's see how you do take the quiz every day at the quiz dot fox then come back here to see how you did thank you for taking the quiz listen to the all new brett bear podcast featuring common ground in-depth talks with lawmakers from opposite sides of the aisle along with all your brett bear favorites like his all-star panel and much more available now at foxnewspodcasts dot com or wherever you get your podcasts hey i'm trade gowdy host of the trade gowdy podcast i hope you will join me every tuesday and Thursday as we navigate life together and hopefully find ourselves a little bit better on the other side.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Listen and follow now at Fox Newspodcast.com. You start to make backroom deals. You start to figure it out. Now, that is chaos. But before we get to chaos, there would have to be a lot. And I don't think at this point anything should be counted out. Because let's just take a quick refresher course. June 27th was the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:17:16 And since that time, we have had a complete mutiny within the Democratic Party. We've had the Supreme Court of the United States reaffirmed presidential immunity, thus neutering the lawfare to stop Donald Trump. We have had the classified documents case in Florida tossed out against Donald Trump. We've had an attempted assassination of Donald Trump. We've had the Republican National Convention, and we've had a successful coup in the Democratic Party to replace Joe Biden. All in three weeks.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Crazy. So that chaos I just described the DNC, not to be dismissed. But for now, it's powerful. It's important that Joe Biden has thrown his weight behind Kamala Harris. Presumably, those delegates pledged to Joe Biden would follow course, follow in the the party manner in supporting Kamala Harris. But Joe Biden didn't have the power to withstand the party bosses, the political elite, the corporate media, the billionaire donors.
Starting point is 00:18:30 So if those same groups who've already thwarted the will of the voter decides someone else should be the nominee, why would we presume they couldn't thwart the will of the Democratic delegate at the DNC? money by the way would be much easier to transfer to Kamala Harris all the money raised by the Biden Harris campaign there are mechanations where they could move that money to the DNC to a pack but it comes with more restrictions it's not as free flowing as if it just goes to Kamala to use as she will and may have to be distributed down ballot if it doesn't go to Kamla but it could be worked around and again if donors decide to get behind somebody else then it won't be
Starting point is 00:19:15 But who would throw their hat in the ring? Who would challenge Kamala Harris? I mean, here are the names that everybody talks about. Governor Gavin Newsom of California. Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania. These are some of the most popular names, both as vice presidential running mates, but also as potential presidential candidates, challenging or joining Kamala Harris. but in order to get there all of those delegates would have to overcome everything working in Kamala Harris's favor like the biggest electoral impediment for Democrats has now just been removed say what you will and I definitely think policies matter whatever happens here whether not it's Whitmer or Newsom or Harris it's a continuation of the policies that have led to the last three years. It is a continuation of policies have led to a porous open border, to a fentanyl crisis, to wars on the world stage on multiple fronts, to an economy gripped by inflation, a culture racked with identity politics. But even though those policies would remain, no matter the nominee, you're going to have to overcome the biggest one for the Democratic Party would have been to overcome age and enthusiasm with Joe Biden. Kamala Harris erases that problem. The Democrats have deleted the voter. They've also
Starting point is 00:20:56 deleted age and enthusiasm. It will happen. It's happening now. By the time we're speaking together on Sunday night or Monday morning, they will have rallied and they will begin to build enthusiasm for Kamala Harris. So they will remove the biggest impediment in their fight against Donald Trump. But if you want to replace Kamala Harris, you have more than just replacing age and enthusiasm. You're going to have to stand up to identity politics. You're going to have to say that you're a better candidate than a woman of color. And that is going to take serious brass balls in the Democratic Party. That is going to have to take serious persuasive capability. of her shortcomings, because identity politics is the religion of the modern day Democratic Party.
Starting point is 00:21:45 And you now have a patron saint in a woman of color. So good of luck, Gavin Newsom, replacing Kamala Harris. What more, if you're Whitmer or Shapiro or Newsom, you'd have to ask yourself, is now the time, is now the cycle? Donald Trump has a huge head of steam. a massive boulder of momentum. He has the fact that he has survived assassination attempt when his last opponent couldn't survive an inter-party coup. He has a very successful unifying Republican National Convention. He has defeated lawfare, and he's winning in almost every poll. I mean, if you're Kamala Harris or anyone looking to replace her, you have to ask yourself, if you have stepped in to a bottom of the ninth, basis-loaded situation, and you're with a
Starting point is 00:22:37 relief pitcher trying to get out the cleanup hitter at the end of the ballgame. That being said, the ballgame is not over by any stretch of the imagination. As we've illustrated, just in the past three weeks alone, what's changed? What's changed in the past eight days? So there will be plenty of things that change in the next several months that can tip this election in any favor, but you still have to measure what kind of uphill battle it is if you're someone who seeks the presidency in 2024 or 2028 or 2032. So I think Harris will have that over Newsom, Whitmer, Shapiro,
Starting point is 00:23:18 in them making the calculation, why would I defeat Kamala Harris just to lose to Donald Trump? As I mentioned, this is the first time something like this has happened since 1968. We brought this up to you. Several months ago, right here on The Wilcane Show, we talked about the parallels, the similarities to 1968. Lyndon Baines Johnson was a sitting president. He decided not to seek re-election. He was facing at the time a Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy.
Starting point is 00:23:53 Joe Biden and Donald Trump are facing to some extent, to the extent that he can get on the ballot, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Unpopular wars across the world. In that case, Vietnam, now Israel, you can get on the ballot. Crane facing Joe Biden, an economy slugging along at best, health concerns for the president. LBJ had suffered a heart attack. As Dana Prina pointed out yesterday on Fox, the difference being Lady Bird Johnson didn't want LBJ to seek re-election. Jill Biden didn't want Joe Biden to give up his pursuit for re-election. And heading into a convention where you had riots and protests across the country.
Starting point is 00:24:36 country. This time, it's over Israel and Palestine. It's on college campuses. It's in big cities, and it's anticipated to take place in Chicago. Oh, by the way, the same exact place as the Democratic National Convention in 1968. It's anticipated to take place in Chicago for the DNC in 2024. The parallels are similar down to the sitting president of the United States bowing out and not seeking re-election for president what a moment what a scandal i mean it it's comical you step back and you can laugh at this bad parlor trick you can laugh at a magician with no skill that you can see where he's hiding the ball but it's also super sad and quite honestly it's beyond scandalous I think that the Democratic Party has just absolutely made invalid,
Starting point is 00:25:39 invalidated, deleted. The Democratic voter has shown who actually calls the shots in America. And it is not Americans. All right. This has been a special episode of the Will Kane show responding to Joe Biden, not seeking re-election for president in 2024. I will see you again next time.
