Speaker Time Text

Congress returns today with Democrats deeply divided about the president's re-election prospects.
To give you a sense of the anxiety gripping the House, Axios reports one lawmaker got blunt, saying this.
The blank is going to hit the fan on Monday when Congress returns.
A House Democrat told the outlet people are scared about their own races, but they're also worried about the country and about democracy.
Five House Democrats have publicly called for the president to step aside.
Some senior House Dems are privately voicing their concerns, too, airing their apprehension during a virtual meeting with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday.
Those ranking House committee members reportedly include Congressman Gerald Nadler, Mark Takano, Adam Smith, and Joe Morrell.
Meantime, no Democratic senator has publicly called for the president to drop out, and an effort spearheaded by Virginia Senator Mark Warner to organize.
Senate Dems to talk about the president's path forward reportedly failed to materialize.
The fact that the meeting is no longer being held, though, doesn't mean that there is an alarm within the upper chamber as well.
Democrats see this moment from the president's exclusive interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos as especially troubling.
unidentified
And if you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass.
How will you feel in January?
I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest jobs I know I can do.
That's what this is about.
madeleine rivera
Here's former Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan weighing in.
unidentified
I think it's incredible how presidents get so insulated and sometimes from reality.
And I think we saw that with the president the other night.
Like, you can't deny it.
It's going to drag everybody else down.
And I think that's a major, major concern for Leader Jeffries, who's a phenomenal leader.
But I think his members, donors, activists around the country are very, very concerned.
madeleine rivera
The president's schedule is chock full of official and campaign events in the next two weeks.
The next big item in his agenda is the NATO summit, which kicks off in D.C. tomorrow.
He'll hold a highly anticipated solo news conference on Thursday.
He'll also deliver speeches in Las Vegas next week as counter-programming to the Republican National Convention.

Music by Ben Thede I was holding it together, all right?
I was holding it together.
We have a professional show here, all right?
We're all pros around here.
I was holding it together, watching the meme.
I thought it was pretty funny.
I love the face swap.
And then I hear Joe Biden go, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why?
I dump.
It's like, I'm done.
I'm done.
It's sending me, and I'm finished.
I'm finished trying to hold it together.
We're going to have a blast.

Let's all laugh together.
Let's all smile together.
There have been many moments But, ladies and gentlemen, the salt must flow!
This time from the Democrats in Panic in Washington, D.C. And we are here for it.
My name is Benny Johnson and this is The Benny Show.
So we keep up the energy on this program.
Long weekends, right?
I had an amazing time with my family this weekend.
My daughter's birthday we celebrated.
Tons of time with the kids.
Fourth of July parades.
Everything like that.
I hope you had an amazing time with your family as well.
How do you get cranked up and ready to go on Monday morning?
Blackout coffee.
That is what is in our mug day and night.
Ladies and gentlemen, the blackout coffee fills our cup, but unfortunately our cup is empty right now.
We need to go get some more.
I've already slammed two of these this morning in preparation for this program, and we were howling in the studio watching a Joe Biden interview, and man, it's just going to get worse.
It's just going to get worse.
So buckle up, buttercups.
It's going to be awesome.

Be awake, not woke.
Okay, baby.
Who wasn't awake this morning?
Joe Biden.
Now, we're going to get to the full interview.
Now, this just aired.
ALX has aired minutes ago, okay?
So this aired minutes ago.
We didn't know this was going to happen.
I don't think anybody knew this was going to happen.
Joe Biden never does phoners, okay?
Joe Biden never picks up the phone and...
You never really see that with Joe Biden.
But lo and behold, Joe Biden, who's obsessed with Morning Joe, called in to Morning Joe.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is nothing short of art.
It's beauty.
It's the greatest comedy show we've ever seen.
Turn off SNL.
Might as well just shut down SNL at this point.
Based on what Joe Biden is doing, the hilarity.
The tears, the salt, it will all be flowing.
Let's just bring you up to date, however, if you were logged out and with your family, as I hope that you were over the weekends, just like I was.
I hope that you had some time maybe away from social media and away from politics and some time to refresh and enjoy this, the greatest country on earth, this beautiful, incredible land that God created for us.
If you are logging back in, let me give you just a really, really quick update as to what Joe Biden is facing, and then we'll jump to his...
Live interview, which...
Hot diggity damn!
Was this ever fun?
Okay, so really quickly here, let's blast through what the last couple of days were like for Joe Biden because it was a pure and total tire fire.
So Joe Biden was at the White House for the 4th of July.
He had, like, a complete meltdown during the 4th of July at the White House.
There are so many clips.
It's hard to choose.
We don't want to have the show live for the next 10 hours, so we'll play you this funny clip of Joe Biden either calling Kamala Harris a ho or thinking it's Christmas.
We're not sure.
kamala harris
We give thanks to our commander-in-chief, the president of the United States, the extraordinary president of the United States, Joe Biden!
unidentified
Ho, ho, ho!
benny johnson
Happy Christmas?
Okay, got it.
Good job, Joe.
Kamala Harris almost calls Joe Biden the vice president, right?
Maybe Joe Biden is getting a little bit of jealousy about Kamala Harris.
Everybody's saying that Kamala Harris, if Joe Biden is forced to drop out, Kamala Harris will become the first black woman president.
Well, Joe Biden says, hold your horses, Corn Pop.
I'm the first black woman president.
He said this in an interview with Black Radio in Philadelphia.
joe biden
I'm proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, the first black woman to serve with the black president.
unidentified
I'm proud to be the first black woman in the Supreme Court.
There's just so much that we can do.
benny johnson
Okay, so it turns out that those The questions, by the way, Joe Biden couldn't even get this right.
The questions were handed to the radio show hosts in advance.
The radio show hosts then turned on Joe Biden.
The White House demanded they ask specific questions.
And then the hosts turned on Joe Biden and blew the whistle and said, yeah, they are forcing us to ask these questions.
Do we have that clip, Klein, by the way?
Here we go.
Clip K, let's go.
unidentified
Were those questions given to you by the White House or the campaign, or did you have to submit questions ahead of this interview?
The questions were sent to me for approval.
I approved them.
Okay, so the White House sent the questions to you ahead of the interview.
Yes.
Okay.
I got several questions, eight of them, and the four that were chosen were the ones that I approved.
Okay.
And the reason I ask is not a criticism of either view.
It's just that if the White House is trying now to prove the...
The vim, vigor, acuity of the president, I don't know how they do that by sending questions first before the interview so that the president knows what's coming.
Let me play here a bit of your interview.
This is, and you've probably seen it's gotten a lot of attention, this is when he was asked about his accomplishments as president.
Let's play it.
joe biden
I'm proud to be, as I said, the first vice president, the first black woman.
black present?
unidentified
Ha ha ha ha ha!
benny johnson
CNN put up the transcript!
Okay, so here's the article.
The Biden White House trots out Joe Biden right after Independence Day after he says ho ho ho to Kamala Harris on Independence Day.
And has a bunch of other brain-breaking moments.
Joe Biden claimed that he went into battle with American soldiers, stolen valor on Independence Day.
Joe Biden went into some massive rambling rant where he had to be yanked offstage from staff.
Joe Biden exited the stage wrong again.
We'll get to that in just a second.
So Joe Biden's Independence Day was a nightmare.
He had to be trolled into changing his Twitter profile background, by the way, from Pride Month to Independence Day.
There's too much news to cover.
It's just incredible.
So we're just really quickly trying to give you an update.
Very, very bad long weekend for Joe Biden.
Biden campaign provided list of questions to radio hosts for interviews.
The Biden campaign said you're only allowed to ask these questions.
Do you understand how it works?
Yeah.
And because those hosts leaked that information, they were fired.
Radio show hosts fired for leaking the fact that Joe Biden campaign demanded they ask a specific set of questions.
And being a mouthpiece, effectively, for the DNC and the Biden campaign.
Oh, baby.
Oh, I mean, hmm.
unidentified
So, just a quick summary.
benny johnson
Joe Biden calls himself the first black woman president.
Joe Biden goes on a black radio show to talk about how good he's been for the black community when it comes to economics, and then gets the show host fired.
So, wait a second.
Joe Biden, you just...
There's another unemployed black American on your watch.
Oh, boy.
All right.
unidentified
Here we go.
benny johnson
I'm sure that host is now wearing a MAGA hat and going to our upcoming Trump rallies, which, ooh, baby, lots of news on that, too.
Donald Trump will be announcing his vice president this week.
We are confident and we are confident and Trump has all but confirmed that.
So it's going to be, again, an exciting week, lock and load.
So here we go.
Joe Biden, why does Joe Biden have to send the questions in advance?
It's too good.
Here's what Joe Biden has to say about his own health on a private call with Democrat governors.
This is why the White House has to send the questions in advance, even to, like, radio shows that nobody listens to.
According to New York Times, in a private call with Democrat governors, Joe Biden was asked by one governor who's a physician.
He happens to be the governor of Hawaii.
And this physician said, you know, are you really good?
Like, from a mental health perspective, from like a health perspective, like, are you able to do this job?
Right?
And Joe Biden says, and I quote, his health is fine.
It's just my brain.
unidentified
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha.
*sniff*
Oh, baby!
Woo!
benny johnson
He cooked!
He's also cooked in the, you know, most, he's also cooked in the most recent polls.
I mean, look at this.
This is, here's, here's, here's, like, what the, Here's what the election looks like with Joe Biden versus Donald Trump.
You'll notice a marked trend as of late.
Very, very bad.
Here's Joe Biden's approval ratings also.
Things are not looking great for Joe Biden.
And you'll see, again, a marked trend.
The red is disapproval and the black there is approval.
So that's what Joe Biden is facing.
Joe Biden decided then he's going to, with all of this mounting disaster, my health is fine.
It's just my brain.
Joe Biden then decided to do an interview live on Friday night.
With George Stephanopoulos.
Now, they tried to do this in order to sneak it under the rug because they know a lot of people aren't really watching the news on Friday night, long weekend, 4th of July weekend, stuff like that.
So they tried to sneak this one by.
Didn't work.
The interview was a catastrophic train wreck disaster.
And we were live during that and had a rolling good time.
Here are just some small clips.
A reminder, they're trying to rehabilitate Joe Biden.
This is their attempt to prove that he's fine.
Here's how it went.
unidentified
And did you ever watch the debate afterwards?
joe biden
I don't think I did, no.
unidentified
Well, what I want to get at is what were you experiencing as you were going through the debate?
Did you know how badly it was going?
joe biden
Yeah, look, the whole way I prepared, nobody's fault of mine.
Nobody's fault of mine.
I prepared what I usually would do, sitting down, as I did come back with foreign leaders or the National Security Council, for explicit detail.
And I realized about partway through that, you know, I get quoted, the New York Times had me down at ten points before the debate, nine now or whatever the hell it is.
The fact of the matter is that what I looked at is that He also lied 28 times.
unidentified
I couldn't...
joe biden
I mean, the way the debate ran, not my fault.
No one else's fault.
unidentified
No one else's fault.
But it seemed like you were having trouble from the first question in, even before he spoke.
joe biden
Well, I just had a bad night.
benny johnson
Okay.
As we have demonstrated, there is a very extensive list of...
Problems that Joe Biden has, that he has blamed his poor debate on, none of which include the fact that he has Parkinson's disease, dementia, Alzheimer's, all mixed up like you would the Slurpee flavors at 7-Eleven, okay?
You make the big rainbow Slurpee, all right?
The mega Slurpee.
Get going.
Let's go.
The Mountain Dew flavor, ooh, gets the people going.
Ladies and gentlemen, Joe Biden didn't admit that.
Instead, Joe Biden said that he had some type of virus and that he tested himself for COVID and that he was feeling sick and so terrible.
He was coughing and he was just feeling so bad.
And then he goes to Waffle House an hour after the debate and starts licking people's waffles and rubbing his hands in their face.
It's so disgusting, this guy.
He's a sick puppy.
We have the photos of him at Waffle House.
It's gross.
What else did he say?
He said, I have jet lag.
I had jet lag for the debate.
You got back from Europe 12 days ago.
You jack wagon.
What is wrong with you?
Okay, so you have jet lag after 12 days?
Joe Biden, by the way, got three days to rest in his beach house, then had six days of debate prep, where he apparently napped during the day, and started at 11 a.m.
So, yeah, I mean, this is super, this is super contagious, really gross Joe Biden at the Waffle House.
He goes to a Waffle House in a predominantly black neighborhood of Atlanta right afterwards because he's feeling so bad and he has such a terrible, there's an article, there's an article, he has such terrible, he has such terrible symptoms.
Why are we not talking about this?
That this is what Joe Biden...
Look at Joe Biden's filthy, syphilitic hand.
He's wiping it onto some poor black guy's waffle in Atlanta.
Scroll.
Look at this.
Gross.
Yuck.
Joe.
What is wrong with you?
This is what he did right after the debate because he was feeling so bad.
I'm sorry.
I can't help myself.
I have to fact check this stuff.
So they've blamed everything.
They blame their staff.
They blame Joe Biden's sick.
They blame jet lag.
They blame his prep.
Now they're blaming Donald Trump.
You're going to love this one.
This is my new favorite one.
That Donald Trump was screaming and yelling during the entire debate, and that was throwing Biden off.
That's what they're now saying.
Dude, we had a split screen of Donald Trump the entire time.
How stupid do you think?
They think we're so stupid.
They think we're so stupid that Joe Biden can say that Philadelphia got him elected to the Senate.
This is another thing that he said.
I'm sorry.
There's so much that happened this weekend.
We have to, like, pack all this in.
We're trying to go as quickly as possible.
Joe Biden said Philadelphia elected him to the Senate.
Dude's from Delaware.
Philadelphia's in Pennsylvania.
And no, Philadelphia didn't elect Joe Biden, but here's what he said.
joe biden
Look, even when I was running for Senate, each time I ran, quite frankly, not a joke, Philadelphia in particular got me across the line.
No, I'm not joking.
No, I mean, seriously, organizationally.
benny johnson
Okay, so Philadelphia is not in Delaware.
Joe Biden's only ever been elected in Delaware.
Joe Biden was elected senator in Delaware, I think, for like some 40-odd years.
And so why is Joe Biden saying that Philadelphia elected him to the Senate?
Now, many people focused on that and said, wow, that's really silly.
Joe Biden said that yesterday.
Wow, that's really silly that he would say that.
But only this show would focus on something else in that clip, and we're going to get into more of this in a second after we play you the full Joe Biden interview.
We promise you, we're so sorry that it was taking a second.
There's so much stuff going on right now.
Biden is in such extreme collapse.
So they decided to do another live interview, but Joe Biden, I mean...
One, can't hold a thought in his head, but he also can't hold a microphone.
The eagle-eyed producers at this program, and we thank you for tuning in, this is why, we are the only people to catch this.
We will show you this clip, but we zoomed in on the microphone.
Get a load of this.
Here's Joe Biden giving that clip, doing that talk, and for lack of a better prop, I'll hold my little gavel here.
Here's Joe Biden.
Do you see it shaking?
You can see, it's visible, the shake, the tremor in his hand.
Now, I had a family member who had Parkinson's disease.
His hands were always shaking due to the medication he was on and their attempts to mitigate the Parkinson's.
Dude, I've seen Parkinson's up close.
Joe Biden's incapable of holding, incapable of holding the mic stable.
What does this show you?
It's really, really evident here.
Look.
Look, you can see it as clear as day.
Joe Biden's microphone is shaking like crazy, shaking like a leaf.
So what's going on with Joe?
Well, baby, if you're going to try and make the case that you're good and that you still have a functional brainstem and your brain is not complete and total jello pudding, then the best thing you could possibly do Is call in to a shockingly popular morning show called Morning Joe.
You could call in and, you know, there's nothing against the call in, although the call in does allow you to have notes in front of you, right, and stuff.
And so Joe Biden actually just did that.
Okay, so that's, this is the prologue.
Now let's get to the news.
Joe Biden just did that seconds ago on Morning Joe.
This is insane.
We're going to play you the whole thing.
We're going to react with you live.
You'll hear Joe Biden have seizures on this.
Joe Biden will start screaming in the middle of this.
You'll hear Joe Biden's notes.
Listen closely.
We'll make sure that we play you the clips afterwards to prove it.
But, like, you'll hear Joe Biden flipping through papers to try and get through his notes.
Joe Biden once references his notes in this, and then Joe Biden attacks the Democrat Party and Democrat Party elites declaring he'll never drop out of the race.
Right?
Joe Biden then threatens Mika Brzezinski?
During this, in an absolute and total melting, you've never heard anything like it.
So after that entire tire fire of a weekend, of an Independence Day, 4th of July weekend, Joe Biden decides to, like, put napalm on the burning tire fire, and it's not good, okay?
So here we go.
The Joe Biden call-in, I don't think this was even expected.
Pretty sure the host themselves seems quite shocked.
To Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, this is, according to all available reports, Joe Biden's favorite morning show.
And people book themselves on this show in order to reach Joe Biden.
Joe Biden watches it every morning, apparently.
Maybe on a rerun, because we know he wakes up at like 10 a.m.
Here is Joe Biden, ladies and gentlemen.
It's the full thing.
The full 15 minutes.
Let's have a listen, and I'll be up in the chat with you.
mika brzezinski
Inside the White House, we have a special guest.
Joining us now, the 46th President of the United States and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden calling in to Morning Joe right now.
Good morning, sir.
joe biden
Hey, Makan.
I'm more of a presumptive.
unidentified
I'm going to be the Democratic nominee.
joe scarborough
Okay, well, Mr. President, that leads to the letter that we just received a few minutes ago.
And I'm curious, there's a part of it where you talk about the fact that you got 14 million votes, 87% of the vote.
It was an open process.
You only had three people running against you.
You have 3,900 delegates.
And then you ask this question, do we now just say the process didn't matter, that the voters didn't have a say?
I'm curious, is that an allusion also to Donald Trump?
And the fact that Democrats, you believe, may now be doing the same thing that Donald Trump tried to do in 2020, and that is overthrow the popular will of Democratic voters.
joe biden
Well, look, let me say it this way.
The reason I've been out on the road so much all over the country, and while Trump is riding around in a golf cart, filling out his golf cart before you...
Even hits the ball.
But anyway, he hasn't been anywhere in 10 days.
I've been all over the country, number one.
And I've gone over the country for several reasons.
One, to make sure my instinct was right about the party still wanting me to be the nominee.
And all the data, all the data shows that the average Democrat out there who voted, the 14 million of them that voted for me, still want me to be the nominee, number one.
Number two.
The idea that Donald Trump has gained in any substantial way his argument to why he should be president is any more convincing than it was two weeks or three weeks ago.
It's just not there.
We're just starting to focus on Trump.
Look, I attended services, spoke to over 600 people at Mount Airy Church of God in Christ in Philly.
I stopped by campaign field offices with John Frederman and Madeline Dean, both strongly supporting me.
The president and the first lady, we spoke at a campaign ice cream social for APSME.
Council 13 in Harrisburg, 40 minutes after we spoke with supporters.
Stopped by Denham Coffee.
I mean, I was with the governor of...
Pennsylvania, who's still strongly supporting me.
I mean, so, look, and the fact is that this week, I'm going to be hosting NATO Summit here in D.C., going to hold a press conference on Thursday.
On Wednesday, I met with the National Union leaders of AFL-CIO.
On Friday, I traveled to Detroit, Michigan for a campaign event.
You know, just on down the line.
And so I'm not getting any of what I was told.
I wanted to make sure I was right.
That the average voter out there still wanted Joe Biden.
And I'm confident they do.
And I'm confident.
And like I said, the press is with me.
I think they've been fairly fair.
I haven't read any reporting they did today.
But the fact is that, you know, I think they have dignity.
We had large crowds, enthusiastic crowds.
And, you know, and now they're talking about whether I use a prompter.
Well, I did it all extemporaneously.
The fact of the matter is you're not using prompters, too.
I don't get that.
But at any rate, the bottom line here is that we're not going anywhere.
I am not going anywhere.
I wouldn't be running if I didn't absolutely believe that I am the best candidate to beat Donald Trump in 2024.
We had a democratic nominating process for the voters so clearly.
I want 14 million of those votes, etc.
So I not only believe that from the beginning, but I wanted to reassert and demonstrate that it's true.
And I'm going to be doing that all through this week and from here on.
joe scarborough
So we noted yesterday that it was quite a contrast to the people that were supporting you yesterday compared to, say, a lot of the Washington insiders.
Hollywood moguls and go down the list of very powerful people that want you out compared to the support that you had in Pennsylvania yesterday.
That said, there are a lot of people of goodwill who love you, who believe you did a great job in your first term, who are still concerned.
Yesterday, the topic came up of the Stephanopoulos interview where you were asked the question, how would you feel?
If Donald Trump beat you, how would you feel after you lost?
And you said, well, as long as I did the best I could do, that's the most important thing.
That's caused Democrats concern who believe that losing is not an option.
What would you say to those who are concerned by that answer?
joe biden
It's not an option.
And I've not lost.
I haven't lost.
I beat him last time.
I'll beat him this time.
And this is a guy who, look, we talk about debates.
Look at his performance of debates.
He lied over, you know, Trump has 50 lies.
I mean, look, this is a guy who says 10% of the universe.
He's just a liar.
And he hasn't done a damn thing since the debate.
He's been riding around in the golf cart for 10 days down at Mar-a-Lago talking with his wealthy friends.
I'm not running because of these guys, Joe.
I'm running because, and you know me well enough to know this from the very beginning, I ran because I never bought on in a trickle-down economic theory.
I never bought into the notion that we have to walk away from the rest of the world in a cave to Putin or anybody else.
I've never, never believed any of that.
And I'm confident that's what the American people are.
So what I did was I went out and I wanted to make sure that there wasn't any slippage at all.
And with the average voter, I don't care what the millionaires think.
And by the way...
Ninety-seven percent of all the people who contribute to us, people contribute under $200.
We have the largest contingent ever in history.
I'm not positive of that, but I think that's true.
And so I want their support, but that's not the reason I'm running.
I'm not running about what they think and what they care about.
And by the way, you don't see a whole hell of a lot of them flocking to Trump.
You don't see a whole lot of CEOs flocking to Trump.
You see the major economists out there talking about what I have been able to do.
I don't hear anybody talking about his economic plan likely to bring America around and keep America first.
And by the way, you hear Trump talking about all that he's done and Trump and his debate night.
He's a pathological liar.
He lied about Roe.
He refused to accept the outcome of the election.
He refused to condemn January 6th.
And he says, he claimed, he spoke with Putin before he invaded.
What the hell are we doing, Joe?
What are we doing?
This is bizarre.
mika brzezinski
It's a good question.
I have a few questions, Mr. President, and I know you know where I stand.
And yet, I have a few questions.
First, it's very simple.
How can you assure the American people that you won't have another night like the one you did in Atlanta?
joe biden
Look at my career.
I've not had many of those nights.
It was a terrible night, and I really regret it happened.
But the fact of the matter is, how can you assure you're going to be on, you know, face back and intervene on your way to go to, you know, work tomorrow?
Age wasn't, you know, the idea, I'm too old.
Created over 15 million jobs, 21 million insured for the ACA, beat Big Pharma, relieved student debt for 5 million people, first black woman in the court.
So I think I had a significant run.
And that's how I'd measure me.
Measure me what I've done.
And by the way, in terms of my neurological capacity, I had a physical, a neurological physical as well in February.
It's released.
I released all my records.
All of them.
All of them.
And I have a neurological test every single day.
Try sitting behind this desk and making these decisions.
You know it.
Both of you know it.
They know it.
I'm not bad at what I do.
And that doesn't mean I'm never making a mistake.
I do.
But I'm making those decisions.
mika brzezinski
Mr. President, if anybody in my family had a night like that, like if Joe had a night like that, or my kids or anybody, I'd...
I'd probably want to do some sort of workup and medical workup and make sure he's okay.
Have you been tested for any age-related illnesses, pre-Parkinson's or anything like that that might explain sort of having a night like that where you couldn't finish sentences?
joe biden
Look, I had before, I was feeling so badly before the debate.
When I came back, they tested me for, I thought maybe I had COVID.
Maybe there was something wrong.
I had an infection or something.
They tested me.
They gave me those tests.
I was clear.
So, but look, I had a bad night.
But the fact of the matter is, look at what I'm doing.
I mean, let me put it this way.
If there was something that was wrong that night, it's not like it comes and that's one night and it goes away.
That's why I've been out.
I've been testing myself, been testing everywhere I go, going out and making the case.
The night of that debate, I went out.
I was out till 2 o 'clock in the morning.
That very night, that very night, it drives me nuts, people talking about this.
That very night, I was talking to large crowds.
Look at the crowds we've gathered everywhere from Atlanta to North Carolina to Pennsylvania, and look at the association.
But it was right after.
Where the hell has Trump been?
What has Trump said or done except deny and lie about what he's for?
mika brzezinski
Okay, so you have repeatedly said that all of these people and entities are wrong.
And let me go through them.
The New York Times editorial board, The Economist, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Boston Globe, Jerry Nadler, Seth Moulton.
Let me go to Julian Castro, Tim Ryan.
David Axelrod.
David Remnick.
Richard Haass.
Yeah, I know which one you're responding to there.
Zeke Emanuel.
But they're saying that you should step aside.
So what is your plan of attack moving forward?
unidentified
These are pretty big names.
joe biden
The plan of attack is to go out and keep doing their big names.
But I don't care what those big names think.
They're wrong in 2020.
They're wrong in 2022 about the red wave.
They're wrong in 2024.
And come out with me and watch people react.
You make a judgment.
You make a judgment.
And by the way, I'm going to have all these foreign leaders here.
I've been in contact with the new British Prime Minister.
Anyway, look, the country, the rest of the world looking, our allies are looking for U.S. leadership.
unidentified
Who else do you think could step in here and do this?
joe biden
I expanded NATO.
I solidified NATO.
Asked your brother about it in Poland.
I made sure that we're in a position where we have a coalition of people of nations around the world to deal with China, with Russia, with everything that's going on in the world.
We're making real progress.
The Biden plan which got in Israel for the Gaza Strip is something that was adopted by the UN Security Council.
Whether it comes to fruition, it's awful close.
We'll see.
I'm not going to explain anymore about what I should or shouldn't do.
I am running.
I am running.
joe scarborough
I wanted to ask you.
It's so interesting.
You talked about how you were supposed to lose in 2020.
You won.
There was supposed to be a huge wave in 2022.
There wasn't.
In 2023, Republicans were supposed to win.
They didn't.
You could say the same thing about France.
Le Pen was supposed to win two years ago.
She ended up getting crushed.
Her party, her far-right nationalist extreme party was supposed to win yesterday.
They ended up getting crushed.
I'm curious, what message do you take from the French elections and the British elections?
Because we keep hearing about the rise of far-right nationalist extremism in Europe.
But I've got to say, it looks like this past week has been the worst week for far-right nationalists between Britain and France.
I'm wondering what you say about that and what message you take to NATO allies this week.
joe biden
Look, Joe, let's get something clear about 20 and 24. Not only were they wrong, I said they were wrong beforehand.
I said we were going to win and how we're going to win.
I didn't pretend about it.
It wasn't like, oh my God, I was surprised.
I was not surprised.
I predicted it.
I knew what we were doing.
Number one.
Number two, you never remember.
I was one of the few people out there publicly saying before the 2022 election, there will be no red way.
There will be no red way.
Because I've been all over the country.
I didn't believe it at all.
And then in 2023, the key election.
I went into those races.
Not every one of them, but a lot of them.
And I said we were going to win.
unidentified
Look, we won those!
joe biden
So, Joe, it wasn't just that it didn't happen.
I was predicting beforehand it would not happen.
Because I've got a pretty good political instinct in I. And here's the deal.
It's not going to happen here this time around.
The American public is not going to move away from me as an average voter.
And again, I'm here for two reasons, pal.
One, to rebuild the economy for hard-working middle-class people, give everybody a shot.
Just a straight shot.
Everybody gets a fair chance, number one.
Number two, remember all this talk about how I don't have the black support?
Come on, give me a break.
Come with me.
Watch.
Watch.
I'm getting so frustrated by the elites.
Now, I'm not talking about you guys, but about the elites in the party who they know so much more.
If any of these guys don't think I should run against me.
Announce the president.
Challenge me at the convention.
You know, on Europe, the polls are wrong in France.
There's no right wave or tide here in America either.
By the way, in case you're wondering whether there is one, have you ever seen Trump run away so fast from what he's for?
You know he's going to do it anyway.
I mean, he's such a liar.
This guy, everybody knows what they're planning to do.
And now he's saying, no, no, no, no.
This guy is going to rip away the woman's right to choose in a permanent way.
This guy is going to make sure that he exact revenge.
This guy is going to destroy democracy.
This guy is going to give a blank check to the Supreme Court and going to use it to pass the 2025 agenda.
You know, extreme danger.
This guy is extremely dangerous.
But you notice, he doesn't speak up for what he really is for.
He's all of a sudden realizing, oh my god, nobody's for what I'm for.
But anyway, look, and again, think of the things he lied about.
He talked about he gave the largest tax cut in history.
unidentified
Yay!
joe biden
He gave the largest tax cut in history to millionaires and billionaires.
He said that 10% universal tax proposal is not going to drive prices higher.
Every major economist in the world is saying it's going to drive an average $2,500 per person.
Only jobs we've created for illegal immigrants and bounce back jobs and bounce back from COVID.
Give me a break.
That's what he said at the convention.
I mean, excuse me, at the debate.
I mean, everything he said.
unidentified
He said, you know, he largely fixed COVID.
joe biden
Are you kidding me?
And what happened?
Nobody said anything.
Nobody said anything.
Except me and the folks out there and the local, you know, race.
You know, he said, I did nothing to stop Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
In fact, he said, I think I encouraged Russia from going...
I think he encouraged Russia going in.
I mean, you know, I'm reading from the list of lies.
First of all, he was made up quotes, suckers and losers.
I was with it.
He called Americans in the cemeteries of World War I suckers and losers.
And so this guy's going to have to start to answer for what he did.
I'm not letting up, Joe.
I am not letting up a little bit.
And by the way, you know, you know, France registered, you know, look, you talk about Europe.
France rejected extremism.
Democrats were rejected here as well.
And, you know, this is a guy who is an extreme candidate.
I can't think of a candidate in my lifetime that's been more extreme.
He makes George Wallace look like a patriot.
mika brzezinski
President Joe Biden, let's make this a thing.
Thank you for calling in.
We really appreciate it.
Thank you for answering our questions.
joe biden
If you're willing to hear from me, I'm willing to talk to you.
Thank you very much.
mika brzezinski
We won't take it on a regular basis.
unidentified
All right.
joe scarborough
Thank you, Mr. President.
Greatly appreciate it.
benny johnson
We have so much to say about this.
A meme is actually probably the best that we...
A meme is probably...
You ever seen Anchorman?
Many people have seen Anchorman.
It's kind of a classic.
LOUD NOISES!
This is Joe Biden!
Joe Biden wobbling around in his adult diaper with his mustard-stained, mustard-colored bathrobe on and his slippers.
And he's wobbling around with his phone.
Dude, he's literally screamed once.
He screamed once.
Okay, we're going to go through just two or three quick takeaways from this.
It is so funny.
The chat was melting down.
Okay, here's one time where Joe Biden just begins yelling.
He just yells for no reason.
Here we go.
Joe Biden's screaming.
unidentified
Look, the country, the rest of all...
benny johnson
Do it one more time.
joe biden
The British Prime Minister with the...
unidentified
Look, the country, the rest of all...
*sniff*
benny johnson
I'm so sorry, Klein.
I have to do it one more time.
What would he have looked like if he was on camera?
Okay, ask yourself, what would he have looked like if he was on camera during that moment?
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
Okay, here we go.
My favorite Joe Biden is super self-confident Joe Biden who decides to attack Donald Trump.
Now, this is a remarkable turn, Joe Biden attacking Donald Trump for being too quiet.
What?
This is great.
Here's Joe Biden.
Here's Joe Biden's sharpest, most acute.
Like a precision bomb.
Attack on Donald Trump.
unidentified
Here we go.
joe scarborough
I'm curious, is that an allusion also to Donald Trump and the fact that Democrats, you believe, may now be doing the same thing that Donald Trump tried to do in 2020, and that is overthrow the popular will of Democratic voters?
joe biden
Well, look, Democrats, let me say it this way.
The reason I've been out on the road so much, all over the country, and while Trump is riding around in a golf cart, filling out his golf cart before he even hits the ball.
He hasn't been anywhere in 10 days.
I've been all over the country.
benny johnson
Trump been turning out his golf cart.
Trump turned the ball.
Turning out the golf cart balls.
He's been doing the balls.
Well, we actually have a video of Donald Trump on his golf cart.
This video from Friday, Donald Trump had somebody who was filming him while he was just chatting on his golf course.
Barron Trump's in the video.
Donald Trump's tipping some guy out and talking about the state of the race.
This apparently really pissed off Joe Biden.
Here we go.
Let's play it.
This is legend mode.
Like, legend mode Donald Trump.
joe biden
How did I do with the debate the other night?
unidentified
He just quit, you know, he's quitting the race.
Is that right?
Yep.
joe biden
I got him out of the race.
unidentified
And that means we have Kamala.
I think she's going to be better.
She's so bad.
She's so pathetic.
It's just so f***ing bad.
joe biden
I just can't imagine.
unidentified
Can you imagine that guy dealing with Putin and the president of China who's a fierce person?
He's a fierce man, a very tough guy.
And they see him, they probably, he can't.
But they just announced he's probably quitting.
Thank you.
Very good.
Yeah, that's a man.
You just keep knocking him out, right?
Thank you.
benny johnson
Ooh, man.
Oh, baby.
Okay, so, Joe Biden saw that clip and was pissed.
The angriest Joe Biden got before he started screaming in the middle of this was Joe Biden talking about everybody asking him to drop out and talking about his cognitive state and how broken it is.
Joe Biden is somebody who clearly has the thinnest possible, I mean, it's like translucent skin and Joe Biden looks like a corpse, but he has very thin skin.
We heard before the presidential debates.
We were talking to two guys who are consultants and they work with the DNC.
And they were actually telling us that it's Joe Biden's mental fitness and physical aptitude that they are the most worried about.
That was the scariest thing for them because it's the thing that pisses off Joe Biden the very most.
They were giving us that information before the debates.
And so imagine how furious Joe Biden is now.
All that poured over, of course, into this interview where Joe Biden began like screaming.
And yelling at the elites in his own party to challenge him at the convention.
Buckle up, baby.
Here we go.
joe biden
The American public is not going to move away from me as an average voter.
And again, I'm here for two reasons, pal.
One, to rebuild the economy for hard work and middle class people.
Give everybody a shot.
Just a straight shot.
Everybody gets a fair chance.
Number one.
Number two, remember all this talk about how I don't have the black support?
Come on, give me a break.
Come with me.
Watch.
benny johnson
Watch.
joe biden
I'm getting so frustrated by the elites.
Now, I'm not talking about you guys, but about the elites in the party who they know so much more.
If any of these guys don't think I should run against me, announce the president.
Challenge me at the convention.
unidentified
Thank you.
Thank you.
benny johnson
Oh, man.
What year is it?
What year is it?
Uh, the guy in the White House is, uh, screaming about how the polls are wrong, how he hates the elites in his own party, how he hates the donor class.
Oh, baby.
Oh, I just, oh, you just love it.
And how the news is fake.
This is an incredible, this is an incredible, uh, incredible moment.
You gotta see this, uh, you gotta see this post.
From this morning's playbook, I think.
This is the Jack Posobiec tweet, Klein.
Where Joe Biden, in his interview with George Stephanopoulos, said he's going to be the goodest president.
He's going to run the goodest campaign.
All right?
This is what Joe Biden said.
Joe Biden's own flax have now come through and screamed at the press to change the quote.
Look at this.
In my Saturday column, I quoted President Joe Biden's line in ABC News, George Stephanopoulos, about how he would feel if Trump was sworn in as president.
I feel as long as I gave it my all and did the goodest job.
The goodest job.
Ooh, baby.
I'm just going to do the goodest job I possibly can.
Joe Biden's team are like screaming at reporters to get them to change the quote.
OK, so they've been able to muscle ABC to change the quote.
We have it on video.
We literally have this on video.
Joe Biden saying he's going to do the goodest job.
This is the cleanup.
This is like the night nurse mess up like adult diaper operation they have going on here.
So one of Joe Biden's creepy little rat like D.C. flax, T.J. Ducklow, who I think it was like I think what this guy was fired from the White House.
For being like a total creep?
I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure there's the same guy.
So this guy is like harassing reporters to get him to change the transcript of what Joe Biden said, even though it happened on camera.
This is the place that we are.
This is the state we're in.
When we say Dems in panic, when we say meltdown, this is what we mean.
Here's the clip, okay, of what Biden said.
unidentified
Mr. President, I've never seen a president's 36% approval get reelected.
joe biden
Well, I don't believe that's my approval.
That's not what our polls show.
unidentified
And if you stay in and Trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass, how will you feel in January?
I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the goodest job as I know I can do.
That's what this is about.
benny johnson
He said it.
I'm going to do the goodest job.
Oh, man.
We're just on a roll this morning.
By the way, this guy did actually get fired from the White House for threatening reporters.
Look at this creepy dude.
Look at this creepy masked monster.
Look at this guy.
What an absolute loser.
This is TJ Ducklow who threatened reporters.
At the White House.
He was fired.
Okay?
Now he's back working for Biden.
Isn't that incredible?
White House Deputy Press Secretary resigns after threatening reporter over story.
Ooh, baby.
Right back.
Right back working with Biden.
Remember when Joe Biden said, you'll be fired?
Joe Biden gave some declaration that if you're ever mean to anybody in his White House, you'll be fired?
Yeah, okay.
Now Hunter Biden's his number one advisor.
Got it?
Okay.
So Joe Biden was asked directly on Morning Joe, which...
Not here to compliment Morning Joe.
They were generally sucking his toes during this entire interview.
But he was asked if he's ever been tested for Parkinson's, which is something I want to talk about here.
This is pretty amazing, Joe Biden's answer to this.
Joe Biden starts screaming at the hosts, saying, I've been testing myself for Parkinson's.
Okay, guys got the nuclear codes.
Let's go.
mika brzezinski
Have you been tested for any age-related illnesses, pre-Parkinson's, or anything like that that might explain sort of having a night like that where you couldn't finish sentences?
joe biden
Look, I had before, I was feeling so badly before the debate.
When I came back, they tested me for, I thought maybe I had COVID.
Maybe there was something wrong.
I had an infection or something.
They tested me.
They gave me those tests.
I was clear.
So, but look, I had a bad night.
But the fact of the matter is, look at what I'm doing.
I mean, let me put it this way.
If there was something that was wrong that night, it's not like it comes and that's one night and it goes away.
That's why I've been out.
I've been testing myself, been testing everywhere I go, going out and making the case.
The night of that debate, I went out.
I was out until 2 o 'clock in the morning that very night.
That very night.
It drives me nuts, people talking about this.
benny johnson
Ooh, man.
Oh, baby.
Okay, so a couple of quick things.
Joe Biden says that he thought he had COVID, he thought he had a contagious virus, and that he was effectively on his deathbed during the...
Debate.
Here, ladies and gentlemen, is a video of Joe Biden directly after the debate, going to a Waffle House, again, in a predominantly black neighborhood in Atlanta, dapping up the customers and employees there.
Look at them.
Doing the diapers crouch in the doorway.
And then, like...
Like, wiping his hands on guys.
Oh, good!
So you're horribly contagious with a virus that's about to kill you, and then this is what you do to a black voter.
Got it?
You lick his waffles as well?
What a sick monster.
What a sick puppy.
There he is.
There you go, Joe Biden.
Look at this.
Super contagious Joe Biden.
He's so concerned.
He's so concerned.
He'll force you to get an experimental injection.
Or else you get fired from your job.
But then he'll go do this when he's feeling extremely sick.
So sick that he wishes to be tested for COVID.
It's amazing.
It really is incredible.
Just really quickly here.
We played you this click.
We'll put it up right here of Joe Biden's hand shaking while he's giving a speech.
This is very strange.
We haven't been able to see this.
Before, maybe the cameras were too far away, but we finally got an angle of Joe Biden's hand shaking here.
We also have reports that the most renowned Parkinson's doctors have been visiting the White House not just to get a photo, but have been visiting the White House and meeting with Joe Biden's personal doctor maybe dozens of times, at least nine times.
So this report broke this weekend.
Now, that's a little curious.
Let's go here, ladies and gentlemen, to what Parkinson's, what the early onset Parkinson's actually looks like.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and parts of the body controlled by the nerve.
Symptoms start slowly.
The first symptom may be barely noticeable tremor in one hand.
Tremors are common, but the disorder also causes stiffness and slowing of movement.
In the early stages of Parkinson's, your face may show little to no expression.
Remember when Joe Biden sat like this during the entire debate?
Remember that?
This is a ringer.
Your arms may not swing when you walk.
Your speech may become soft or slurred.
I'm reading to you directly from, what is this?
Mayo Clinic.
From the Mayo Clinic.
Listen to these.
Parkinson's disease symptoms worsen as your condition progresses.
Parkinson's disease cannot be cured.
Medicines might improve your symptoms.
Healthcare professionals may suggest surgery.
To regulate certain regions of your brain or improve your symptoms.
This is insane.
Your speech may become soft or slurred.
You don't move your arms when you walk.
Your face will show no expression.
Guys, does he have Parkinson's?
We've all been saying dementia.
Does he have Parkinson's?
Again, the Parkinson's expert has been meeting with Joe Biden's doctor at the White House.
So what does that mean?
I mean, I'll let you decide.
Joe Biden's personal physician met with top neurologist and Parkinson's specialist at the White House nearly a dozen times.
Is that what's going on here, ladies and gentlemen?
This may be it.
This may be it.
Final thing.
Final thing before we bring in our spectacular guest that we're really excited about.
You've got to hear this.
From the guy who brought you Joe Biden, okay?
It's really important.
The guy who brought you Joe Biden, David Axelrod, this weekend.
And the reason I say that is this is the architect of Joe Biden's vice presidency, meaning this is the guy that got Barack Obama to election victories and therefore reinvigorated Joe Biden's dead career.
This is David Axelrod.
Effectively doing a prognosis, doing a determination that Joe Biden's dead career is once again dead.
unidentified
It's just there are certain immutable facts of life, and those were painfully obvious on that debate stage.
And the president just doesn't seem to come to, he hasn't come to grips with it.
He's not winning this race.
He's more likely, if you just look at the data and talk to people around the country, political people around the country, it's more likely that he'll lose by a landslide than win narrowly this race.
benny johnson
So I'm going to talk to some political people around the country, including one of our favorite members of Congress from the great state of Texas, Chip Roy, joins us now.
unidentified
Thank you.
benny johnson
you you you you Congressman, thank you so much for being on the program.
It's been a wild morning.
There is quite a bit of mourning in Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill right now from Democrats calling for Joe Biden to drop out of the race.
What say you?
chip roy
Well, you know, we're getting a hurricane in Texas, but the political hurricane going on in Washington, D.C. is pretty strong right now.
Democrats are reeling.
They are in a box, a box of their own creation.
They now have to choose between a very clearly mentally incompetent president.
And a president who is a DEI box-checking vice president.
And that's what they're stuck having to figure out.
And you can see them struggling.
I introduced the 25th Amendment resolution.
Again, for your listeners who are very smart, they're going to know this.
We can't do anything in Congress to trigger this, right?
The 25th Amendment says the vice president has to trigger a debate or a question of whether the president's capable of carrying out the duties and then act.
All I did was file a resolution saying, is our position...
That it should be triggered, right?
That he's very clearly not competent.
And some people have raised, well, that's politically not very smart.
I said, well, look, I think President Trump will wipe the floor with either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.
But importantly, he is still the President of the United States.
He still has, as you pointed out a few minutes ago, the nuclear codes.
He still is the commander-in-chief.
He still has to make decisions that affect our national security interests and well-being.
And just because the Democrats are so...
You know, craven politically.
They want to hold on to power so much that they're willing to risk and endanger the United States rather than call out the existing president for being not mentally there, whether it's Parkinson's, whether it's dementia, both.
But here's the last point I'll make.
We need to know, okay, who knew and when did they know it?
We know Kamala Harris knew.
We know Jill Biden knew.
We know that the people around him in the White House knew.
But I want to know what they knew.
I want to know whether the Parkinson's expert has been there and for how long.
I want to know when they first saw these signs.
Was it before 2020?
Was it over the last three years?
What doctors have been in there?
We should subpoena all of these people and all of these doctors because the Democrats have been lying to the American people because they are liars.
They've been lying about the Russian hoax.
They've been lying about all the stuff and what they're doing at the border, endangering Americans.
They're lying about the mental state of the president.
They lied about COVID.
Frankly, I can't think of anything they haven't lied about over the last four years.
benny johnson
Sir, if you look at the state of the country right now, as you just elucidated, it does look like it's a country being managed by somebody who doesn't have a functional brainstem.
Would you be in favor in Congress, with a new Congress, and there are many positive projections for a Republican Senate and Republicans to keep the House, would you be in favor in the new Congress in the year 2025 of having a special committee, maybe like the January 6th committee, but on the Joe Biden mental handicap committee to see who knew what when and to really like put teeth to these subpoenas.
chip roy
No question.
I think we need to have a full airing and a probably dedicated committee, as you point out, but a very specific one that's going to do the work and produce it quickly, with teeth, haul people in front of Congress to explain all of the things they have been doing.
Because as I said a second ago, they have been lying.
We know that.
If you're remotely aware politically right now, you know that they've been lying.
This one, this thing about his mental competency has now become so explosive because that debate finally elucidated for the American people because the administration and Democrats have been hiding it from them.
Most of us, we're kind of, we're the minority, right?
We follow this stuff every day.
Most people are going and taking their kids to, you know, baseball games or soccer games.
They're going to work.
They're going to church.
They're going to life.
They don't follow this stuff every second of every day.
But the truth is, those of us who have been watching, we knew he was bad.
But that debate, it demonstrated he's not there.
They're lying.
We know it.
We need hearings to expose everything that they know.
And they've been lying.
And not just on that president's mental state.
All of it.
benny johnson
So we've been watching some pretty devastating updates from around the world as to what happens when you have unlimited immigration.
Illegal immigration into your nation.
And the Republicans in the House, very much at your urging and with your energy placed directly behind this SAVE Act, is attempting to say you should only be allowed to vote if you are an American citizen.
Now, don't...
Don't ask me why this didn't happen when Republicans had a Republican House, Republican President, and Republican Senate.
That seemed like the obvious time to do it in 2017.
But here we are.
Is this going to pass?
Democrats are losing their damned minds over this, which I guess tells you the whole game here.
You're from the state of Texas.
Clearly, this must affect you greatly, Congressman.
chip roy
Yeah, Benny, that's exactly right.
I mean, and again, Democrats are giving up the game in their violent opposition to the SAVE Act.
It's a bill that I introduced, I don't know, a couple months ago with the full support of the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, along with my friend Mike Lee over the Senate.
We now have 104 co-sponsors in the House.
I think there's something like 17 or 18 co-sponsors in the Senate.
I mean, you could ask the question why all Republicans aren't co-sponsoring it, but we will have a vote on it this week.
I believe it will be universally supported by Republicans.
It's a very straightforward bill that says that You must provide proof of citizenship, documentary proof of citizenship, to register to vote in this country.
We have a few safety valves allowing people to be able, if they show up, to cast a provisional ballot if they showed up without the appropriate forms, but they've got to come back and show it.
So we're trying to make sure we're not going to step on any American citizen's right to vote when they show up.
But at the end of the day, we need to do this.
Now, for everybody listening out there, they're wondering, why wasn't this done before?
Good question.
Congress in 2017 wasn't very competent.
But go farther back.
The real issue is it's already illegal, right?
There's already a law since 1996 that says you'd be criminally punished if you're voting or helping somebody vote who's a non-citizen.
The issue is that the way the courts have interpreted the law, they actually prevent states from being able to force and ensure that they know that only citizens are voting.
So Arizona, for example, has two different systems.
They check and register people and they check their citizenship.
For state and local elections, but for federal elections, they don't because the federal government is saying you can't.
So it's even worse.
So we're going to fix that, but we're going to go a step further.
We're going to require all states to check for federal elections, not state and local, because I don't think we have the power there.
But we do constitutionally have the power to say for federal elections, you must demonstrate that you're a citizen.
And that, I think, will be an important safeguard.
And we should pass it.
And everybody says, well, you know that the Senate won't pass it or Joe Biden won't sign it.
Well, that's okay.
Let's make it a political issue.
And then when we're elected in November, let's show up in January and do our dang job.
let's pass it and let's get President Trump to sign it and safeguard our elections.
France is a disaster.
The UK is a disaster.
You've got Muslims flowing into those countries, migrants flowing into those countries.
We've got to avoid all of that.
benny johnson
So you have some pretty powerful allies in this.
Elon Musk has been tweeting about this this weekend, saying because they want to cheat, saying that it's effectively traitorous to have non-citizens voting in an election.
You know, boggles the mind, we looked through this Arizona lawsuit from the DOJ, and the DOJ sued Arizona, saying that if you ask people, if they're citizens, to vote in a federal election, and I'm glad you brought that up, this isn't a DOJ filing, and the DOJ won, by the way, that violates their civil rights, which is untenable if people actually began to learn about how corrupt that system is, and how you can have all of...
You can have all the safeguards you want if you let 30, 40, who knows how many million people who aren't American citizens vote in your election.
You don't have a democracy.
I don't know what that's called.
It's definitely not a democracy.
chip roy
Yeah, what you're seeing right now is the confluence of a number of different forces that are finally coming to a moment where we better act now or we're going to lose it.
Historically, there was enough common sense in this country that as liberal or as crazy as some people were, people generally agreed, yeah, we should make sure that only citizens vote.
A lot of fraud.
A lot of people that would abuse that system.
A lot of people here illegally that people would try to register to vote.
And so over time, you've seen now jurisdictions like D.C. We had to vote on that a couple of months ago.
San Francisco, Oakland, New York, other jurisdictions that are actually now affirmatively trying to register people to vote who are here, either illegally or certainly are non-citizens, getting them to register to vote in state and local elections.
But they wink, wink, and they go, oh no, but trust us, we know it's already illegal federally to register people for federal elections.
Well, that's all garbage, right?
Virginia had to clean off their rolls last year, found 1,500 people.
We've seen numerous reports where there have been impacts on elections.
Al Franken notoriously won a very narrow election, and there were very clearly people who voted who were non-citizens in that election that may well have turned that election for Al Franken.
It matters.
So, we put this forward, and then to combat what you're just talking about, where you've got these ridiculous Something that's always made my skin crawl and left me a little on edge given this current news cycle is the very low IQ,
benny johnson
very glassy-eyed, mouth-breathing insistence by Joe Biden that he will win.
Right?
In spite of all the data, in spite of everything, I will win.
Almost as though they have something already wired and based on that kind of creepy confidence, like that strange confidence, very like Katie Hobbs versus Carrie Lake confidence in Arizona, where it's like, we already have this system wired.
While we're live, right now, the White House has just come out and said, and come out against your bill.
This just happened.
Executive Office of the President, statement of administration policy against the SAVE Act.
Chip Roy, you are listed right at the very top here.
Administration strongly opposes the SAVE Act.
It's already illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, federal crimes punishable by prison fines.
Now, the alleged justification for this bill is easily disproven.
Falsehoods.
Additionally, making false claims of citizenship is unlawful.
This looks like something written directly by Merrick Garland's Civil Rights Division at the DOJ.
The president has been clear he'll continue to fight to protect Americans' sacred right to vote in free, fair elections by opposing your act to make sure that only Americans vote in elections.
What say you, Congressman?
chip roy
Well, I'm honored.
I'm honored to be in the crosshairs of the White House, a White House which is very clearly in opposition to the well-being of most Americans, right, as evidenced by their open borders of the death of Lake and Riley and a bunch of Texans.
This administration is not interested in safeguarding the American people's right to vote.
They're not interested in safeguarding anything about, you know, our safety and well-being.
This is about political power.
Nothing more, nothing less.
That's what it's about for them.
Your point here about his sort of glassy-eyed confidence.
Like, they're all gleeful about what's going on in Wisconsin right now, about the restoration of these dropbox voting procedures.
And these are all things they want to be able to stay in place, to be able to sort of game the system, to try to cram ballots, to try to make sure they can...
Steal the election, if you will.
And that's what we're up against.
We're up against people wanting to use this in order to try to win elections.
They're going to oppose this bill.
We knew that.
That's why I started by explaining when I said provide proof of documentary proof of citizenship.
I made clear that we do allow safety valves for ensuring there'll be no undue burden to use the Supreme Court's parlance on a citizen's right to vote.
It was purposeful.
We structure it that way.
We work with smart lawyers about how to set it up.
And there's no burden that's going to be placed on an actual citizen's ability to go cast a ballot.
That's the truth.
We're just going to make sure that we try to prevent those who are non-citizens from voting.
But of course they oppose it.
They don't want any break in their current efforts to try to register people using Medicaid and all these welfare systems which they're currently using to try to register people to vote who are non-citizens.
benny johnson
Yeah, it's wild.
says it's extraordinarily rare for a non-citizen to vote in a federal election.
So they admit that it happens.
In their own statement, they say non-citizens vote in our elections.
I want to let you have the last word here, Congressman, and I know then you've got to hop, but isn't one illegal vote too much in any election?
chip roy
Yeah, I mean, look, I share that, right?
Because once you have one, you know you're having two, you know you're having five, you know you're having a thousand.
And look, when elections can be We had several elections recently in primaries that were decided by three, four, five hundred votes.
We had Al Franken's, which was very narrow.
You had in the presidential election in 2020, Georgia was what?
15,000.
Pennsylvania was small, got a little bigger.
Arizona was small, got a little bigger.
All of those things matter.
All those votes matter.
And so when we're talking about the future of the country, no, it's not.
By the way, it's just wrong.
Look at the actual text of the amendments to the Constitution where it talks about safeguarding the rights of citizens to vote.
The Constitution is replete with contemplating that it is only citizens who will be voting.
And that's what we should be looking at in terms of protecting our rights.
benny johnson
If you ever want to do a nerdy study, just look at the fall of the Roman Empire and you'll see that the erosion of what it means to be a citizen and what it means to be part of the society is how that empire, the most powerful empire in the world, fell.
chip roy
And Benny, that's the most important point and we should have continued dialogue about that, about what's happening and trying to destroy the culture, the soul of this country and what it means to be an American.
Democrats are trying to kill that.
Those of us who want to push back and take this country back.
It's because we know what it means to be an American.
And we want to make sure that is clear.
And that is the most important debate we need to be having.
benny johnson
Yes.
I love your tactics here.
It's great.
So rarely do we get actual wartime tactics from members of Congress.
But yeah, make them oppose this.
Let them go to the American people and say we oppose citizenship for voting, right?
Proof of citizenship.
Let them do it.
Good on you, Congressman.
Everybody go follow and support Chip Roy.
He's one of the best, an absolute flamethrower, barn burner, like a Texas tornado ripping through Congress.
Doesn't make a lot of friends, but we're a friend of you, Congressman.
Godspeed.
Call your member of Congress and make sure they support the SAVE Act.
chip roy
Amen.
Thanks, Benny.
unidentified
God bless you.
you you Ooh, baby!
benny johnson
Ripping and roaring through this show.
There's so much incredible breaking news.
I do want to get to something that is particularly interesting, which is the polling here against Joe Biden.
Now, you heard Joe Biden call himself the first black woman president, and they've been polling.
Who would be?
Who would?
Who could possibly take Joe Biden's place?
Because it is a fantasy.
I want to begin by just saying this.
We've looked into this.
I've talked to a bunch of lawyers over the past couple days.
I've talked to a bunch of election attorneys.
Guys, this idea that...
The notion that they can just swap out Biden and that that's easy?
No.
No.
This is why the largest line item for any expense for any campaign is lawyers.
It takes a phalanx of lawyers.
Thousands of lawyers to get on the ballot in all 50 states and American territories.
It is so laborious to file with the FEC to run for president.
The amount of time, effort, muscle and build that it takes for Trump, Biden, it's the same.
Like it's really hard actually to run for president, to get on the ballot, to get all the gears moving, to get the mechanisms.
And then there are limitations with timelines for ballot access.
We're running up against those limitations, like, right now.
For big states, there's, like, 11 states in America where, by the end of July, there's no more names allowed on the ballot.
So then what happens?
Most of those states have Republican legislatures.
The Republican legislatures don't even change the law to let Kamala Harris on the ballot, let Michelle Obama on the ballot?
No, man.
I'm telling you, this is...
Everyone's saying swap out Joe Biden.
They're so dumb.
They're, like...
Democrats are like the great white shark.
You see the nature documentary?
I don't mean to compare them to a noble beast, but when the shark smells blood and the blood is power, its eyes roll back in its head and it's irrational.
It goes nuts.
It goes insane.
Democrats are going insane right now.
Their minds are breaking.
They're physically breaking.
They're losing their minds over the idea that they won't be able to sink their teeth into the bloody power.
That they want right now.
And so they're talking about swapping candidates.
We've done the research, man.
We've spoken with the experts.
This is not going to be easy.
If they try and pull this, it will be incredibly hard.
And they're going to push us up against a major constitutional crisis if they try and swap out the candidates.
Save one person, which is Kamala Harris.
So because Kamala Harris's name is on all of the filings because it's Biden-Harris, then it would be the money that's been donated to Biden can be fungible, right, to Kamala.
She can inherit it.
She can take a lot of the campaign structure because it's been built with her name legally on the documents and with her legally on the documents.
And so what they've been doing is they've been polling Kamala Harris.
And it's been quite interesting.
So these are back-to-back clips of CNN, our favorite pollster, Harry Enten, talking about Biden's polling versus Kamala's polling.
Let's go.
harry enten
I call him like I see him.
And yeah, the polls right now have Joe Biden down.
I do, right?
The polls right now have Joe Biden down, but this is the worst position Joe Biden has ever been in.
You know, right now, post-debate, what do we see?
We see that Donald Trump is ahead of Joe Biden by three points.
That's better.
Donald Trump's doing better than he was doing pre-debate in 2024 when he was up just a point.
But compare that to where we were four years ago at this point.
Joe Biden was ahead by nine percentage points nationally.
And in fact, if you go throughout that entire 2020 campaign every single day in a matchup between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, Joe Biden led it every single moment by at least three percentage points.
So this idea that Joe Biden's trying to float out there, that the polls have always had him down, they've always arrested.
him the fact is the polls in 2020 at least when it came to the general election actually overestimated him Pam well That's not great for Joe Biden, because it's just another lie, but we've lost count.
benny johnson
Here's Joe Biden versus Kamala Harris, who's actually polling better now.
And by the way, they're doing this on purpose.
Here we go.
unidentified
Let's talk about Kamala Harris, who has been rumored as the obvious replacement for Biden.
Of course, she is the vice president.
In your view, according to the data you're looking at, would she do better at this stage, and would the party be enthused to unite around her?
harry enten
She couldn't do any worse, I'll tell you that much.
If you take a look at the average of polls, in fact, she does slightly better than Joe Biden against Donald Trump.
While Joe Biden is trailing Donald Trump by three points nationally, in an average of polls, Kamala Harris is only trailing Donald Trump by a single point.
And the reason for that is, remember, we have the left part of this country, Democratic.
We have the right part of this country, Republican, but elections tend to be one in the middle among independents.
And look at this difference among independents when you match up Joe Biden against Donald Trump and Kamala Harris against Donald Trump.
Donald Trump leads among independents when he's against Biden by four points.
Look at that matchup, though, against Kamala Harris.
In fact, Kamala Harris is up five points.
That is the big reason why Harris is doing better in the overall numbers against Donald Trump.
benny johnson
We predicted it.
What do I...
Well, sometimes we don't like the news we have to report to you, but we will tell you the honest truth.
We will tell you what we know.
And weeks ago, I think going on a month ago, before any of this, before any debate, we were called crackpots and cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
We told you that Kamala Harris would be swapped for Joe Biden.
Before any, we told you Kamala Harris, they're going to go for it.
They're going to dump Biden.
It'll be Kamala.
And now you're actually seeing it play.
We have the clip to prove it.
Don't need to play it now.
But if you regularly tune into this show, you were wiser than most.
You were way ahead of the curve by months.
We told you about this plan.
And now look at these leaks out of the White House.
unidentified
Scoop!
benny johnson
Biden's event staffers guide him behind the scenes.
This is the Axios article that shows a secret memo that...
It's supposed to only go to the president.
So what does that mean?
That means the White House is leaking on Joe Biden.
That shows Joe Biden how to get on and off stages.
They actually take photos of the stages to give to Joe Biden.
This is remarkable.
Look at these.
How do these leak?
Ask yourself.
One, Joe Biden clearly doesn't know how to walk.
Or get on or off a stage.
You'd only show this to somebody who's truly suffering mentally, who can't remember things like this.
And then two, who's leaking this stuff?
Joe Biden's own staff are now leaking on him.
Ooh, baby.
Oh, man.
Walk to podium.
One template, a copy of which was obtained by Axios after a leak from the White House, is a short and simple with a large picture of the event space, says view from podium, view of audience.
In a five-page document, two pages were separate pictures of walk to podium.
The staffer who helped with the fundraiser told Actios, It surprised me that a seasoned political pro like the president would need detailed verbal and visual instructions for how to enter and exit a room.
Oh, the collapse is just incredible.
Just incredible.
Expect a bunch of, like, Hollywood people to start seething and screaming then at the sun.
Nobody puts it on more.
Um, then these, uh, degenerate, uh, oafs like Rob Reiner.
unidentified
It's time.
benny johnson
Rob Reiner.
It's time to stop walking around.
A convicted fellow would lose our democracy.
unidentified
Joe Biden has effectively served his years in honor.
benny johnson
It's time for Joe to step aside.
Oh, okay.
Here comes Stephen King.
Stephen King.
Joe Biden has been a fine president, but it's time for him and his intense threats to America has clearly loved to announce he will not run for re-election.
Oh, boy.
Stephen King is voting for Trump.
unidentified
Oh, man.
benny johnson
It's too much good news to get to.
I love days like this.
Too much good news to get to.
Yeah, that's exactly right.
It's the Rob Reiner from South Park.
Yes.
Yeah, this is exactly that.
If you know, you know.
It's the Rob Reiner from South Park, yeah.
Okay?
Gotta stop smoking or something.
unidentified
Yeah, right.
benny johnson
It was bad for you.
Oh, baby!
Okay, so what happens next?
What happens next is Donald Trump announces his VP.
Donald Trump continues his winning streak.
His campaign told us something.
His campaign told us.
We were chatting with a very high-up advisor, and they said, don't...
You know, we said, everyone's saying you're very quiet right now, and that's true.
Donald Trump has been silent as the grave.
You know, no interviews, no big rallies or events, right?
Like, very quiet, you know?
Don't give the media another shiny object to chase after, right?
Like a cat with a laser pointer.
Don't do it.
They can't help themselves.
They love Trump so much.
They can't help themselves.
Don't do it, the advisor told us.
And then quoted Sun Tzu's Art of War, which was also paraphrased by Napoleon, which is never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.
And that's the cue here.
But we will be interrupted.
Tomorrow, we encourage you to tune in, ladies and gentlemen, because we think that Donald Trump's going to announce his vice presidential pick tomorrow.
It's just a hunch.
It's just a hunch.
But Donald Trump has been saying that he will pick his vice president in like the coming hours or days.
He's been alluding to this.
Donald Trump said he's already picked his vice president, right?
And that that announcement will come before the GOP convention.
We'll be at the GOP convention starting, like, on Friday.
So what does that mean?
Well, also, Donald Trump is announcing events with his vice president.
I don't know if we have...
Yeah, here we go.
Donald Trump hints at VP announcement.
If we can scroll through this, there are multiple events that Donald Trump is now promoting that include...
The vice presidential nominee for president.
I want to show you the actual copy of the event.
Please scroll down, Klein.
There we go.
Freedom First event with the nominee for vice president and Donald Trump.
Look at that.
That's an invitation.
There are other invitations, ladies and gentlemen, that include the vice presidential nominee.
They start next week, okay?
So they start next week, early next week.
Starts events with Donald Trump and his VP.
It's happening this week.
Maybe tomorrow night.
Donald Trump will be doing a speech at Doral tomorrow night.
I don't know.
When is it?
unidentified
ALX?
benny johnson
7 o 'clock?
Donald Trump will be speaking at Doral in Florida.
7 p.m.
And he has another event this week.
I don't know if we can put up his schedule.
But this will show you.
I mean, you have to assume.
Donald Trump, I mean, the guy built The Apprentice, right?
Like, he knows how to build up the momentum.
He's been silent as the grave for the last couple of days.
And then he comes in with a massive event, right, in Florida.
What does it mean?
Well, we know, as a matter of fact, that Marco Rubio will be at the event in Doral.
Now, don't come for me, okay?
Don't come for me in the comment section.
I read the comments.
I got the comments right here.
Comments are rolling on multiple devices all throughout the...
I see the chat.
Don't come for me.
Every time I mention Marco Rubio, everyone's like, I'm telling you this because it's what we're being told from the campaign.
Campaigns telling us that Marco Rubio is a finalist in the VP, in the Veepstakes.
And we have, like, obviously, and they've given us, you know, part of the reason why they think that, right?
There are a lot of reasons, but, you know, just off the top of what we've been told, there are 70 million Latinos in America, people of Latin background.
A lot of them speak Spanish, either a dual language or speak Spanish natively.
Marco Rubio is fluent in Spanish.
Marco Rubio could speak to the evils of communism because he's Cuban and his parents escaped communism, Castro.
And, you know, Marco Rubio is really powerful in the Senate.
He sits on a ton of really powerful committees, has a lot of friends, has a lot of friends with deep pockets.
Marco Rubio's been on this show, but I don't know him.
I don't have his number.
Nobody's telling me to say this.
I'm telling you this from, like, campaign surrogates is what they tell us.
Will Donald Trump announce Marco Rubio tomorrow because he will be at the event in Doral?
I don't know.
It seems like the stars are kind of aligning there, doesn't it?
Other people, other interesting little things.
Donald Trump just followed Ben Carson on Truth Social.
Donald Trump follows zero people on Truth Social.
And he just followed Ben Carson.
What does that mean?
Well, Donald Trump does have two events.
He has another event in Pennsylvania.
Butler, Pennsylvania, if I'm reading that correctly.
Okay, that'll be July 13th.
What date is that?
Is that this weekend?
Saturday.
unidentified
Okay.
benny johnson
We're going to be live for these Trump events.
Tune in to this channel.
One like on this video equals one FJB.
Ladies and gentlemen, as Tim Pool says.
One like equals one FJB.
So make sure you like the video.
Make sure you tune in and make sure you subscribe.
We're going to be live for this.
We're going to be rip-roaring.
We've got a lot of buddies and a lot of friends.
They'll join us live.
We'll have color commentary through all of this.
And if Donald Trump announces his vice president at one of these events, we're going to be there, okay?
We're going to physically, we're going to be live, and we're going to have shows stacked for you.
So we got it all built.
We'll obviously be at the Republican Convention as well.
So we'll be bringing you live shows from the Republican Convention.
A ton of special guests.
It's going to be awesome.
Is it going to be J.D. Vance?
A lot of people saying J.D. Vance.
Here's the pin poll.
Pin the poll, okay?
ALX, I want J.D. Vance on there, Ben Carson on there, Marco Rubio on there, and Doug Burgum, I guess.
That's what everybody says, you know, is the finalists.
Pinning the poll to the top of the chat, go and vote.
Who do you want?
Here's J.D. Vance from this weekend saying, I haven't been asked to be vice president yet.
madeleine rivera
I have to ask you about deep stakes, of course.
Have you gotten the call from Donald Trump?
Has he asked you to be his running mate?
jd vance
I have not gotten the call, Kristen, and I'll certainly, you know, maybe not the first person that I'd let know if that happened, but we'll let the media know if I ever get that call.
But most importantly, Kristen, we're just trying to work to elect Donald Trump.
Whoever his vice president is, he's got a lot of good people he could choose from.
It's the policies that worked and the leadership style that worked for the American people.
I think we have to bring that back to the White House, and I'm fighting to try to do that.
benny johnson
Here is Byron Donalds, who is, many would say, an outside-the-box picks for VP, but has been vetted.
Byron Donalds has confirmed that to us privately and publicly on this program.
Byron Donalds says, I've been vetted for VP.
They're looking at me for VP.
Again, you'd say it's a long shot just because he hasn't been in Congress that long, but this guy has a super bright political career, and he was asked about being vice president this weekend.
Let's go.
shannon bream
Can you tell us anything about the president's vice presidential selection?
Do you know a timeline?
Do you know the pick?
byron donalds
I do not know the timeline.
I do not know the pick.
Donald Trump's going to do that.
I will say that if you take a look at the job that, obviously, Joe Biden's a disaster, but even Kamala Harris, these two really have not had an interest in what the American people are trying to have, which is secure borders, lower costs at the grocery store, lower housing costs, a thriving economy, and peace around the world, actual true global leadership, not global pandering.
And so I think whoever Donald Trump decides to go with is going to be an exemplary pick.
We are going to have a significantly better president in the Oval, and we're going to have a significantly better vice president being his partner to help make sure our country gets back on track.
benny johnson
Ladies and gentlemen, just published seconds ago the Daily Mail with their reader poll as to who they want as vice president.
I'm not sure.
The Daily Mail is a British outlet, so who knows how many?
People voted from merry old England in this poll.
We have a poll up right now.
It has already 1,000 votes.
So cast your vote for who you want to be vice president in the chat.
Now, this is what the Daily Mail found.
Tell me if you agree.
There's a name I haven't heard in a long time that is top of this poll.
Let's scroll down, please.
The top of the poll...
Is Tim Scott leading by a point with Marco Rubio and Ben Carson tied?
That's what this poll says.
Elise Stefanik, Byron Donalds.
You just heard Byron Donalds on TV this weekend.
A name that is absent here is Vivek Ronswamy.
We have covered this in breaking news.
Vivek was asked directly if he's going to be Trump's VP, and he said that Trump hasn't asked me to be vice president.
But J.D. Vance just said that.
So does that mean Vivek's out of the running?
I don't think so.
It's just his name has been mentioned a lot, but Donald Trump loves building up anticipation and making like a surprise pick, blowing it out.
Is Donald Trump going to do that here?
Do you agree with these results?
According to recent reporting from inside of the campaign, Tim Scott has sort of fallen out of favor.
And you've seen Tim Scott be noticeably absent on the campaign trail.
Somebody who isn't polling well there is Doug Burgum.
Again, I have nothing personal against Doug Burgum.
I've never met him.
If you watch the show, you realize you'll know that I don't want Doug Burgum to be the VP.
Trump Burgum isn't really in it for me.
Guy seems nice, can make a great chief of staff, be great in charge of personnel or whatever, right?
But doesn't really have the zip, I think.
And I think that, like, maybe Kamala Harris would be able to, like, get one over on him.
I am, I am desperate for a Kamala Harris Vivek Ranswami debate, okay?
I would, I would do, I'd, I don't know, like, I'd wear a Joe Biden shirt, you know, to, to the bar.
I'd wear a Joe Biden shirt to a biker bar if you could give me a Tucker Carlson Kamala Harris debate.
Many people saying Tucker Carlson might have been the VP selection.
Donald Trump obviously musing with that.
But as we get down to the brass tacks, sadly, Tucker's name not on the list.
So here it is.
What do you think?
We'll tell you the results of the poll at the end of the show.
I'm seeing a lot of votes rolling in.
So what do you think, ladies and gentlemen?
What do you like?
Who do you like?
We're going to get it.
We're going to get it.
It's happening this week.
It has to.
It has to.
Because Donald Trump has events next week that feature his vice president according to the invitations.
So you must have a vice president this week.
I mean, the math just works, right?
Okay.
All right.
We'll see.
Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we have our, we have an amazing, amazing Monday Gunday.
For you here.
You're going to love this one.
Monday Gunday brought to you by our friends at Spike Sackle.

Ooh, baby!

So let's say you are strapped with a Spikes Tactical AR-15.
And you say, wow, you know what?
I had such a great day at the range.
I'm out of ammo.
And shucks, it's Sunday.
It's 10 p.m.
And, you know, all the stores are closed.
Well, luckily for you, if you live in Alabama and Oklahoma...
unidentified
Such an awesome story.
benny johnson
If you live in Alabama and Oklahoma, America, all right?
Marca.
That's where you live.
You live in Marca because they're now...
Ammunition vending machines in these states.
Oh, yeah.
Grocery stores in Alabama and Oklahoma.
Grocery stores!
You get all your shopping done.
Grocery stores in Alabama and Oklahoma now have American Rounds vending machines, which allow customers to buy ammunition for their firearms while getting cartfuls of groceries.
So you go, you get like a bunch of tomahawk steaks, all right?
You get some beer, and then you go get your ammo at the vending machine.
unidentified
It's...
benny johnson
This is Mirka, okay?
unidentified
This is the most Mirka story we've ever reported on.
benny johnson
The vending machines are in six locations, use AI technology to verify buyer's identification and age through card scanning and facial recognition software.
One of the locations at a fresh value store in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, American Rounds, the company which manufactures and distributes ammo vending machines, has a statement on its website.
Their system, purchase age, eligibility, and so on.
So, I mean, this is legal, right?
Presumably, you'd be shut down.
Do we have a YouTube video on this?
Can we see the actual vending?
I'm dying to see the vending machine.
Guys, I'm dying to see the vending machine.
I mean, I know we haven't tested this or anything, but let's just click and play it.
Let's just see.
Okay.
Okay, so there's no audio in this, but let's just see the vending machine in action, okay?
All I want to do is just see the vending machine in action.
So this is the vending machine here in the video.
Here's some guy that, like, works for them or maybe owns them.
And this is what it looks like.
Here's your ammo vending machine.
ALX, we...Kline, we got to get one of these in the studio.
We just got to get one in the studio.
This needs to be...
We have a lot of visitors that come by and, like...
You know?
Yeah, we have people come and do studio tours all the time.
This needs to be one of the things that greet people when they come here.
You can go get...
No charge, right?
This will be your souvenir for visiting program with this shopper.
Shopper's like, yeah!
It's so good, man.
This is so good.
And then they're loading in the ammo, I guess.
They go load up the ammo.
Alright, okay.
Now we've seen it in action.
You got any close-ups?
Okay, there you go.
Here's the close-up.
So then the machine, you order your ammo, and then it drops down like a candy bar.
unidentified
I just love this country.
benny johnson
Man, you just gotta love it.
Okay.
Ooh, baby.
So awesome.
Ladies and gentlemen, we do a lot of work with our friends at Spikes Tactical.
They, of course, sponsor our beautiful wall over here in the studio.
Make sure, ladies and gentlemen, that you stay strapped.
We have wild times coming ahead.
We want you to be safe and sound, and we also want to practice, ultimately, our rights.
If we do not practice them, like free speech or like the Second Amendment, then we will lose them.
So be a practicer of the Second Amendment.
And good news.
Good news all around.
Firearm sales have never been higher.
Never been higher in the country.
So go with my friends at Spike's Tactical.
They're freaking awesome.
And yeah, make sure that you are enjoying your wonderful liberties here in America.
And if you have an ammo vending machine next to you or near you, Go visit them one and send me a video.
We'll play on the show.
Sad they don't have them in Florida.
Yet.
Yet.
This is Monday Gunday, brought to you by Spike's Cat.
unidentified
We'll see you next week.
benny johnson
Okay, final thing.
I know we've had so much good news on the show.
Again, we say this all the time.
Some shows suck because it's bad news.
They indicted Trump.
Trump's guilty.
Whatever.
Want to put him in jail for a million years?
Like, some shows suck and, you know, the Supreme Court didn't back free speech in a ruling or punted on the free speech issue.
But some shows are just popping with good news.
We have one final clip that you're going to love.
You can watch Jim Acosta.
You remember Jim Acosta, right?
Totally irrelevant now, but like Jim Acosta, when he was in the Trump White House, yelling and screaming and spitting.
I was in the press briefing room, looking at Jim Acosta, and he was spitting.
He was yelling so much, spittle was flying out of his mouth.
Sick.
He's a sick, disgusting person.
He was, what a slob, okay?
He was ravenous to get Sarah Sanders to pay attention to him.
Actually, it was Kayleigh McEnany at the time.
So, ladies and gentlemen, Jim Acosta was live on CNN seconds ago, and that favorite pollster of ours named Harry Enten, he was delivering some absolute brutal truth to Jim Acosta about Donald Trump's chances of winning the election and the historic moment we're all living through.
The historic moment, you should all appreciate it and enjoy it.
Watch Jim Acosta's soul leave his body live on CNN.
harry enten
I will end on this point, Jim.
There are voters in the electorate who have never seen a Republican presidential candidate leading in the polls at this point, but those voters, those young voters, are seeing one right now in Donald Trump.
unidentified
Very interesting.
Sorry.
Ha ha ha ha.
Thank you.
Thank you.
benny johnson
Very interesting.
Is Jim going to go back to the White House, OK?
You know, just strap on his big boy pants when Trump comes back.
Who would be Trump's press secretary?
Can I volunteer for the job live?
Let's do it right now, baby.
Let's do the verse of the day right now, because we need to tap the good news with more good news and more good news and more good news.
Verse of the day from the good news and the good book, Romans 7, 6. But now, by dying to what once...
Bound us.
We have been released from the law so that we can serve in a new way the spirit, not the old way of the written code.
There's so much old that is dying and decaying right now.
It is a wonderful thing to see, the rebirth.
This always happens.
It's the way of the universe, the energy of the universe.
It's incredible to see these systems in collapse and decline and panic.
What you need in these times, because they are tumultuous, is faith in God.
You must save your faith in the one thing that actually doesn't decline and won't decay, because it all goes away.
It all goes away.
Trump, the Republican Party, you know, it all goes away, right?
Don't put your faith in man, any man.
Put no faith in man, but all your faith in our Lord and Savior.
Jesus Christ.
Put all your faith in the immovable truth of the scriptures, and that will set you free.
You will be able to walk.
You'll be able to roll with it.
You'll have bend in your joints.
You'll have flexibility.
All the things that you need to get through the day, ladies and gentlemen.
That's why we do our verse of the day.
We have some poll results.
This poll hasn't been up for super long, but we have a...
Strong showing for J.D. Vance in our poll right now.
So J.D. Vance pulling in 40%, but Ben Carson, come up, baby!
Ben Carson, 33%.
They love Ben Carson.
We love Ben Carson around here.
Friend of the show.
Just an awesome dude.
How many votes here?
We got a couple thousand votes.
Keep the poll running.
Let's put up polls earlier in the show.
We'll find something to put up a poll earlier in the show and make sure that there's always a good poll there to vote on.
We'll bring you the results of the poll at the end of the show.
Always perpetually improving.
Always online.
Always prepared to deliver salt for you and to you.
Always ready to make sure that the...
That the salty deliciousness that will be pouring into our streets out of Washington, D.C. and throughout the country, actually, as libs scream and whine and have meltdowns.
Boy, we will be covering it all.
We're going to have a wild week, so please stay tuned.
And we're going to be at the RNC convention next week.
If you're there, stop by and say hi.
And ladies and gentlemen, we will win.
We will win.
We will win.
This is what I tell everyone all weekend.
Everybody asked me about the election all weekend.
We went to a bunch of different things as a family.
I said, we're going to win.
We're going to win.
This is like the confidence.
You need to stand upright.
Stand upright.
Walk with confidence.
Head right there.
Shoulders in line.
And make sure that you march forward with me, your boy Benny, on to victory.
See ya.
