Ep. 1186 – The Holy Crap Debate dissects Trump’s 2024 debate dominance, framing Biden’s dementia and policy failures—like $3B in border chaos, inflation spikes, and Afghanistan’s collapse—as proof of Democratic decline. It contrasts January 6th with leftist-backed riots, mocks media hypocrisy over WNBA’s Caitlin Clark, and ties Iran’s nuclear progress, China’s military expansion, and Ukraine’s suffering to Biden’s alleged incompetence, ending with a plea for Trump’s victory over elite manipulation. [Automatically generated summary]
The bad news is we have no commander-in-chief and I can't speak Chinese.
But on the positive side, if the Chinese do conquer America, at least we all know who's running the country.
You know, I usually start the show with a satire.
I'm going to put the satire at the end of the show.
We will get to it, but I'm going to put it at the end of the show because I think we all want to get right to discussing that insane debate.
And for another thing, my satires, even my satires, cannot be as funny as the fact that this country, which was once led by George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, is now being run by this guy.
Making sure that we're able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID.
I was going to dealing with everything we have to do with look.
If we finally beat Medicare.
Hopefully, it will soon be run by this guy.
We're going to win at every level.
We're going to win economically.
We're going to win with the economy.
We're going to win with military.
We're going to win with health care and for our veterans.
We're going to win with every single facet.
I miss this.
My, oh, my.
What a wonderful day.
We're going to win so much.
You may even get tired of winning.
Yay!
You'll say, please, please, it's too much winning.
We can't take it anymore.
I feel pretty.
Oh, so pretty.
I feel pretty and witty and gay.
We have to keep winning.
We have to win more.
We're going to wait for it!
The Trump happiness montage is back!
Trigger warning.
I'm Andrew Klavan, and this is The Andrew Klavan Show.
Let's get right into today's episode, The Holy Crap Debate.
Holy crap.
Holy crap.
You know, before this debate began, I said two things.
I said, one, dementia is progressive.
You can pump this guy with cocktails, but there is a certain course this thing is going to take.
You start out as a younger person talking sort of like I'm talking now.
And then as you age, you start to sound like Michael Knowles.
And finally, you just decay into Michael Knowles.
You know, I mean, that's the way it goes.
And it speeds up as it goes on.
I mean, this is, look, it's sad, but it's true.
It gets faster and faster, and we've seen it getting faster and faster.
Ultimately, you can give this guy any cocktail you want.
We don't have a cure for this.
There's no cure for what he's got.
And I thought, you know, there's a possibility.
I said, there's a possibility.
He might just come out and have nothing.
And that's exactly what happened.
And everyone saw it.
But there was another part I talked about before the debate that not everyone saw coming and not everyone still sees now, which is Trump.
Trump has changed.
Trump does that.
He learns stuff.
He's very quick-witted.
He's very adaptable.
He understands the territory.
He has been running an utterly different campaign than either of the first two campaigns.
He's been disciplined.
He's been targeted.
He's been political.
You know, one of the things they always said about him is, well, he's not a politician.
I thought, yeah, but if you want to be a politician, it's a profession.
You have to be a politician.
Now he's a politician.
Now he doesn't just go with his grudges.
He doesn't just go with his gut.
He actually thinks about what the effect of what he says is going to be.
He's less crazy.
And on top of this, the man has stood up to an onslaught of unprecedented authoritarian abuse and corruption, something out of a Central American banana republic, as he himself might say, like nothing we've ever seen.
And it has broken against him like a wave against a rock.
I mean, Donald Trump is a flawed man, but you know, a hero is not a saint.
A hero is a flawed man who rises to an occasion, in the moment, does what he has to do.
That's every movie ever made, every story ever told.
A flawed guy, not a perfect guy, a guy with troubles, a guy with problems, who finds himself in trouble and does what he has to do.
The Democrats, with all their lawfare and all these unfair prosecutions and that thing in New York, which was as corrupt a trial as I has ever seen outside of the movie Miracle on 34th Street.
I mean, it was something out of boss tweeds America.
That thing, the Democrats have turned Donald Trump into a hero.
And I told you, I told you from the start when Trump leapt at the chance to take this debate, that was an act of Trumpian self-confidence.
Secure Tunnel Solution00:02:08
I told you it was a smart move.
I told you he wasn't underestimating Biden.
That was a beast of prey leaping on an old man who had made a tactical error.
And everything I've been saying to you for weeks showed itself to be true yesterday.
And now I see one other thing that I don't think anybody is really talking about.
Everybody saw one thing last night.
Everybody saw Joe Biden lost, but I saw something else.
Donald Trump beat him.
So let's talk about it.
Chapter one, holy crap.

K-L-A-V-A-N.
So weekend at Bernie's is over, and now everyone knows what everyone always knew.
F You If You Can't Handle the Truth00:15:56
And this is the thing that I think it's not going to take conservatives, not going to take political wonks.
I think ordinary people, normal people who are paying attention to politics, are going to remember this.
They're going to remember that Scarborough knew this when he said this, cut one.
Start your tape right now because I'm about to tell you the truth.
And F you if you can't handle the truth.
This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
Not a close second.
And I've known him for years.
The Brzezinskis have known him for 50 years.
If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it.
He knew when he was saying it, every word that came out of his mouth.
He knew that what Joe Biden has become, what he is, and he knows what he's always been, which is a corrupt, angry, nasty little man.
But now he's a corrupt, angry, nasty little man with dementia.
All these public officials and Biden's stand-ins knew it.
This is an RN Seaman montage cut to.
He is sharp, intensely probing, and detail-oriented and focused.
This is a man who is sharp, who is on top of his game, who knows what's going on.
This guy's tough.
He's smart.
He's on his game.
His mental acuity is great.
This is a very sharp president.
This is a man that's on his game.
President Biden is absolutely fit.
There's not a problem.
He's sharp.
He's fit.
He's always answering questions.
He is on the ball.
He was sharper than anyone I've spoken to.
He is sharp.
He is on top of things.
There's no doubt in my mind that the president is mentally fit for office.
Biden has proven himself to have a strong memory.
He's completely mentally far.
He's at the top of his game.
They were all in offices with him.
They were all looking him in the eye.
They were all talking to him.
Any good reporter who was on site with him saw what we all saw and told us it wasn't there.
Every single one of them.
They were all looking into the faces of the American people whom they despise, and they were lying to you because they despise you.
That was what was happening.
And now, listen, there are three words, as I've told you before, that you are not allowed to say in this country if you are in the media.
They are worse than saying men can't become women.
They're worse than saying black lives have been ruined by Democrat programs.
It's worse even than saying, you won't believe me, but this is worse.
These three words are worse even than saying that motherhood is a woman's noblest and most important role.
But after last night, Chuck Todd came within a hair, a little hair of saying those three forbidden words.
Here he is, cut 24.
You know, one of the things was, would either candidate look like the caricature that the other campaign has been trying to paint of him?
And at the end of the day, Joe Biden looks like the caricature that conservative media has been painting.
And there were no clips tonight, right?
This was, you saw it before your eyes.
Look, I don't want to just tell you what I think here.
Tom, I've been talking to a lot of leaders in the Democratic Party, electeds, coalition leaders.
There's a full-on panic about this performance.
I almost couldn't quite, Chuck couldn't quite get those three words out of his mouth, but they were there.
Conservatives were right.
Daily Wire was right.
Fox News was right.
Conservatives were right.
Trump was right.
Joe Biden is not fit to be president of the United States.

Chapter 2.
Holy crap 2.
This time, it's holy crap.
So we got to play some of these clips.
I mean, we just have to go through the debate, at least some of it.
But I also have to mention that while I was coming in to work, the Supreme Court just overturned Chevron, which takes a lot of power away from the deep state.
Chevron was the one that says the agencies could interpret their own rulings.
So if the EPA came into your house and declared that your toilet was a public waterway and you weren't allowed to pollute it by going to the bathroom and you said, I want to appeal that, they would say, no, you've appealed it, and now we agree with ourselves.
They've lost that power.
This huge Donald Trump victory.
He established it.
He engineered it by appointing the judges he did and the justices he did.
And it's a big victory for him.
And also the court ruled that you can't use Sarbane Oxley, which is a business law meant to stop companies like Enron from destroying incriminated records.
You can't use that against the January 6th people.
So some of those people have grounds for appeal.
Some of them will be re-sentenced.
Big Donald Trump victory.
You're going to get tired of winning, folks.
But still, the biggest victory was the debate.
Now, here's the thing.
The media likes to tell us, likes to convince us that the thing about debates is the zingers, the moments, the little things that happen.
Those are the things we remember.
And those are the things we remember over time.
But those are not the things they see.
Those are just the, that's just the way the media works.
Those are media strengths, getting people in a faux pas, getting people in a gaff, getting people to have a quick zinger.
That's what the media likes.
So they want to convince you that that's what's important to you.
They want to turn you into a character in their business model.
That's what they're trying to do.
But I don't believe it.
I believe people are smarter than that.
I believe they see an entire thing.
They may not be paying attention to every detail of policy, but they see personality, they see capability, they see where basically the people stand on the issues, what their records are.
Basically, people are smarter than the media want them to be, and they see it all.
And from the very start, the look on Biden's face when he came walking out there like a zombie, the slack mouth, the staring eye, the kind of trembling face, and then unbelievable moments like this one.
Here's the moment when he was trying to defend himself against the hardest charge of all for him, which is the charge, well, one of the hardest charges of all, because he's also letting World War III happen, but the charge of letting illegals flood the country.
This is cut eight.
When he was president, he was taking, separating babies from their mothers, putting them in cages, making sure the families were separated.
That's not the right way to go.
What I've done since I've changed the law, what's happened?
I've changed it in a way that now you're in a situation where there are 40% fewer people coming across the border illegally.
It's better than when he left office.
And I'm going to continue to move until we get the total ban on the total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more Border Patrol and more asylum officers.
President Trump, I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence.
I don't think he knows what he said either.
Look.
And not only that, everything he said was untrue.
This is important.
I'll get back to that in a minute.
I just also have to talk about the fact that when Trump said, you know, these illegals are coming over and they're killing people, and they're especially raping and killing young women.
There's been several high-profile incidents of this.
This is cut six.
This is Biden's answer to that.
Look, there's so many young women who have been, including a young woman who just was murdered, and he went to the funeral.
The idea that she was murdered by an immigrant coming into, they talk about that.
But here's the deal.
There's a lot of young women who be raped by their in-laws, by their spouses, brothers and sisters, by just ridiculous.
And they can do nothing about it.
And they try to arrest them when they cross state lines.
Thank you.
Thank you.
See, what he just said there was, yes, people that I've let into the country by leaving the border open have killed women, and Trump has gone to their funerals.
He hasn't.
Biden hasn't.
But there is this plague of sister rape plaguing our country everywhere you go.
It's just sweeping over the country.
Sisters, you turn your back on your sister and she's on you.
You know, that's what's happening.
I mean, this is the guy running the country.
Now, I'm not going to play this whole thing, but let's play just a little bit of this closing statement.
They said closing statement, and I thought it was more like a deathbed confession.
You know, you had to lean your ear close.
Oh, my, I shouldn't be laughing at the guy, but I can't help it.
You'll lean in closer.
What is he saying, Mama?
Just play a little bit of this.
Let's hear a little bit of the closing statement.
We've made significant progress from the debacle that was left by President Trump at his last term.
We find ourselves in a situation where, number one, we have to make sure that we have a fair tax system.
I ask anyone out there in the audience or anyone out watching this debate, do you think the tax system is fair?
The fact is, that I said, nobody even making under $400,000 had a single penny increase in their taxes.
And if I'm re-elected, that will be the case again.
But this guy has increased your taxes because of the deficit.
Number one, he's increased inflation because of the debacle he left after the way he handled the pandemic.
You know, everything he says is untrue.
Everything he says is untrue.
And the way he says it, I really did feel like, you know, is he gone, Mama, please?
I'm listening to this is what everyone saw.
Everyone saw this, okay?
Everyone saw that Biden lost because he has dementia.
But here's what I saw, and I think we're not talking about this enough.
I don't hear anybody else talking about it because the dementia was so powerful.
Here's the New York Times, a former newspaper.
This is their front page analysis, which is their word for lies.
Trump's debate performance, relentless attacks, and falsehoods.
For most of Thursday night's debate, former President Donald Trump verbally pummeled President Biden, painting his political opponent as an ineffective leader with a torrent of tax that were frequently false, lacked context, or were vague enough to be misleading.
Mr. Trump went directly after Mr. Biden's personal character, calling him weak and little respected by global leaders who were laughing at him.
Okay.
He tried to accuse Mr. Biden of corruption, dubbing the president as a Manchurian candidate who was paid by China, a nod to frequent accusations of undue influence for which there is no evidence, not no proof.
There's no evidence, not the 20 shell companies, not the 10% for the big guy.
No evidence.
There's no evidence.
It's just nothing.
I don't know what those things are.
But they're not evidence, that's for sure.
He directly blamed Mr. Biden for a wave of immigrants coming in and killing our citizens at a level we've never seen, a hyperbolic claim that is not backed up by available statistics.
Even one person killed by an illegal immigrant who shouldn't be here is enough of them, but there have been plenty of them.
And the times goes on in a wild misrepresentation of facts, a wild misrepresentation of facts.
Mr. Trump claimed falsely that Mr. Biden encouraged Russia to attack Ukraine, even though Mr. Biden has consistently tried to rally support for Ukraine and his administration took active steps to warn President Putin of Russia not to invade.
This is what the media isn't saying.
Trump is not articulate.
You know, he stumbles.
He's gotten older.
I can tell that he's not sure that the name that he wants is out there, so he avoids saying it.
He avoids being specific.
But Trump won this debate because he was disciplined.
He kept the focus on Biden, which is important.
If the focus is on Biden, Trump wins.
If the focus is on Trump, not so much.
And the other thing is, virtually everything he said was true.
Taken into account that he's inarticulate, taken into account that he speaks vaguely, everything he said was true.
Biden's Afghanistan surrender was a disaster and it encouraged Russia.
And here was what Trump had to say about that in part.
This is nine, cut nine.
Our veterans and our soldiers can't stand this guy.
They can't stand him.
They think he's the worst commander-in-chief, if that's what you call him, that we've ever had.
They can't stand him.
So let's get that straight.
And they like me more than just about any of them.
And that's based on every single bit of information.
As far as Russia and Ukraine, if we had a real president, the president that knew, that was respected by Putin, he would have never, he would have never invaded Ukraine.
A lot of people are dead right now.
I'll tell you what happened.
He was so bad with Afghanistan.
It was such a horrible embarrassment, most embarrassing moment in the history of our country that when Putin watched that and he saw the incompetence that he should, he should have fired those generals like I fired the one that you mentioned.
And so he's got no love lost, but he should have fired those generals.
No general got fired for the most embarrassing moment in the history of our country, Afghanistan, where we left billions of dollars of equipment behind.
We lost 13 beautiful soldiers and 38 soldiers were obliterated.
And by the way, we left people behind too.
We left American citizens behind.
When Putin saw that, he said, you know what, I think we're going to go in and maybe take my, this was his dream.
I talked to him about it, his dream.
The difference is he never would have invaded Ukraine.
Never.
Just like Israel would have never been invaded in a million years by Hamas.
You know why?
Because Iran was broke with me.
I wouldn't let anybody do business with them.
They ran out of money.
They were broke.
They had no money for Hamas.
They had no money for anything.
No money for terror.
That's why you had no terror at all during my administration.
This place, the whole world is blowing up under him.
A wild misrepresentation of facts.
It's not.
It's all true.
It's vaguely put.
Sometimes it's hyperbolic, but it's all true.
And when the New York Times says that Biden warned President Putin not to invade, here's that warning for you.
It's clip 16.
I'm sorry, clip 28.
Russia will be held accountable if it invades.
And it depends on what it does.
It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.
But if they actually do what they're capable of doing with the force amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia.
And if it's a minor incursion, if it's a minor incursion.
That was his warning to him.
You know, yeah, let's have a minor incursion.
That had to have Putin trembling, trembling in his bearskin coat.
I mean, that was like, oh, if it's a minor incursion, maybe not.
But don't make none of those major incursions, because then I'll really get angry at you.
Media Wants Guard Troops?00:10:06
You know, that's that.
Everything Trump said was true.
Listen, and not only, you know, this is what people see.
The media wants to tell you that all you see is, oh, he made a funny joke.
Oh, he said something memorable.
Oh, he had a little aphorism.
Oh, he had a gaff.
That's what they think you're sitting at home because you're an idiot.
That's right.
You know, that's all you remember.
You're like the Simpsons.
You know, you're like Homer Simpson.
That's all you can keep in your mind.
But the fact is, we were there.
We lived through the Trump administration.
What Trump is saying is true.
Of course, Putin looked at the Afghan retreat, that incredibly humiliating retreat.
And the only thing Trump was wrong about is he shouldn't have fired the generals because the generals were telling Biden not to do it.
Biden thought he knew better than the generals.
Here is CNN, right?
The leftist name in news.
Here is CNN fact-checking Joe Biden.
This cut 22.
Some of them, he said he's the only president in a while who didn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world.
Troops have, of course, died on his watch.
He said he's put in a $15 per shot cap on insulin and Medicare.
It's a $35 a month cap.
He said it's a $200 cap on overall drug spending in Medicare.
It's $2,000 a year.
He said the border now has fewer crossings than when Trump was in office.
That's generally not true.
He said, or at least strongly suggested, unemployment was at 15% when he took office.
It was actually 6.4.
He said Trump wants to get rid of Social Security.
Trump doesn't.
He said billionaires pay 8.2% in taxes.
It's much higher.
He said Trump told Americans to inject bleach amid COVID.
We know Trump made foolish comments about scientists studying disinfectant injection, but didn't frame it as advice to people.
And Biden said the Border Patrol endorsed him.
No, its union supported the border bill he'd supported, never endorsed him himself.
Not only that, they tweeted out that we'll never will endorse him.
Now, here, Trump said that Pelosi, in a documentary made by her daughter, Nancy Pelosi, had said she took responsibility for not having the National Guard on hand when the Trump rally was taking place on January 6th.
So CNN also fact-checked that and said it was untrue.
We're going to play that, followed by the clip from the Pelosi video.
He said Nancy Pelosi turned down his offer of 10,000 National Guard troops on January 6th.
There's no evidence she even got such an offer.
It was the president, not Pelosi, who had the power to deploy the D.C. Guard.
He said Pelosi now acknowledges she turned down the troops.
No, her office tells me this claim is still a lie.
We have responsibility, Terry.
We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have.
This is ridiculous.
You're going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the inaugural stuff that should we call the Capitol Police?
I mean, the National Guard?
Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?
They thought that they had sufficient responsibility.
There's not a question of how they had.
They don't know.
They clearly didn't know.
And I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for war.
She was Speaker of the House, right?
She took responsibility.
You heard her.
You heard her say it.
The things that Trump said were true.
And so the only thing that the New York Times and many other outlets are saying is they're saying, yes, yes, you know, Biden did die a few months ago.
And that did, you know, kind of lessen his power at the debate.
But Trump was lying.
Trump was not lying.
Trump was not lying.
Trump is, you know, as I say, he has a vague way of talking.
You know, he can be hyperbolic.
But everything he said in this debate was true, was basically true.
And, you know, we sit around and talk about these things in the way the media wants us to talk about them.
We say, well, you know, Trump did this and Biden did that.
But people understand other people.
We all talk to people.
None of us speaks in book-like sentences, right?
We all talk in a kind of vague way.
We all say things we don't quite mean, but the other person gets it.
We're human beings and we can understand people communicating like human beings.
Trump is communicating like a human being.
He's a little older.
He's a blustery guy anyway.
The things he said were true.
And that, that is what cut the ground under the walking corpse of Joe Biden, the guy who used to be Joe Biden.
That's what cuts the ground out from under him.
Because even if Biden had shown up with that appalling performance, it wouldn't work if we hadn't lived through the Trump administration and were thinking, well, yeah, you know, it was good.
You know, Trump said, oh, there was no, you know, Putin took land territory under Obama.
He took territory under Bush.
He took territory under Biden.
He didn't take any territory under me.
That's true.
That is true.
And that the whole idea that we should be saying, oh, yeah, but Trump, you know, it wasn't quite right about that.
No, that's not what we're thinking.
We're thinking, yeah, basically, Trump did a good job as president and Biden sucks.
And he did a good job in the way he said he did.
You know, hilariously, I mean, halfway through this, and I should say this because I go after Jake Tapper all the time because Jake Tapper has had Trump derangement syndrome coming out of his ears.
And I go after him all the time.
But Tapper and Dana Bash did an excellent, excellent job.
Their questions were challenging to both sides, as they should be.
They didn't interrupt.
They didn't fact check.
They didn't put themselves forward.
They asked their question.
They turned off the mic when there was still time left.
They went back to the question.
They let the guy answer it or not answer it as he chose.
I don't see why there should be any reporters in the room.
I don't see why there should be anybody but maybe a referee to make sure they follow the rules.
I don't know why candidates can't, you know, they're running for president.
They should be able to say what they have to say.
We don't need a left-wing press or even a right-wing press to tell them what they should be talking about, to ask them questions.
But if they're going to be there, Tapper and Bash did a great job.
The Wall Street Journal and I believe the New York Times as well, not the Wall Street Journal, I'm sorry, the Washington Post and I believe the New York Times as well are complaining about this.
Why didn't they stop it?
Why didn't they fact-check him?
Why didn't well, you know, again, you can do that.
You can say to Donald Trump, well, he didn't encourage, you know, Putin to go in.
But yes, he did.
His actions encouraged Putin and people can tell that.
His words, when he said a minor incursion, I'm not going to do anything about it.
They did encourage Putin.
And people know people are smarter than the media wants them to be because the media wants them to be stupid enough to watch the media.
This was the other thing that Trump said about January 6th, which was the big thing we all expected him to be washed away by is Cut 11.
What do you say to voters who believe that you violated that oath through your actions and inaction on January 6th and worry that you'll do it again?
Well, I don't think too many believe that.
And let me tell you about January 6th.
On January 6th, we had a great border.
Nobody coming through, very few.
On January 6th, we were energy independent.
On January 6th, we had the lowest taxes ever.
We had the lowest regulations ever.
On January 6th, we were respected all over the world.
All over the world, we were respected.
And then he comes in and we're now left at.
We're like a bunch of stupid people.
What happened to the United States' reputation under this man's leadership is horrible.
Again, it's true.
It is true.
And, you know, obviously, is he dodging the question a little bit?
Yeah, he's a politician.
He's dodging the question a little bit.
But the problem is everything he said is true.
And this is kind of, it's kind of bugging me a little bit, you know, that like, well, it's not bugging me that the media is dishonest.
But even on our side, we're sort of talking about the fact that Joe Biden has dementia.
Yes, he has dementia.
That's a shame.
I'm not sure it matters because he's probably not running the country anyway.
But his policies suck.
You know, that is what people, that's what underscores the victory of this debate.
Trump's policies worked.
Did I have problems with him?
Yeah, he lets the debt get out of hand.
He won't cut entitlements, all kinds of problems with Donald Trump.
He's to the left of me.
You know, he's a populist.
He's going to do what the people want him to do.
Still, his presidency worked better because it didn't have these leftist policies.
I mean, just, you know, the other thing was this.
This is one thing that I also think we should play.
This is 12.
When it comes to January 6th, I've said before, I think it was bad.
I think Trump should have acted faster.
I don't take any of the excuses.
They shouldn't have been in the building.
However, you have to compare it to the violence during the pandemic, the George Floyd riots, when the left encouraged them, the press encouraged them.
Here's what he said, Cut 12.
What they've done to some people that are so innocent, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.
What you have done, how you've destroyed the lives of so many people when they rip down Portland, when they rip down many other cities.
You go to Minnesota, Minneapolis, what they've done there with the fires all over the city.
If I didn't bring in the National Guard, that city would have been destroyed.
Absolutely true.
Again, absolutely true.
Donald Trump won this debate.
He won it because he's smart.
He won it because, you know, I said this last night on the backstage.
This is a guy who was very successful in New York real estate, an excruciatingly tough, tough business.
Very successful on television.
A wildly tough, tough business.
Won the presidency on the first try entering politics.
You know, I'm sorry.
The guy is good at what he does, and he pictures himself as a guy who fixes things.
You know, that's who he feels he is, and he thinks like that.
And now he sees that he lost an election.
You know, a lot of people hit me because I won't say that the election was stolen.
I have said it was rigged many, many times, but I don't think it was stolen by the numbers, or at least I'm sorry, I should say it hasn't been shown to me or proven to me that it was stolen by the numbers.
Beam Dream: Sleep Aid Success00:02:12
But he lost it.
He knows he lost it, and he doesn't want to lose again, especially because he might go to prison, but also because I think, you know, it's his ego.
You know, he wants to win.
He's a winner.
He wants to win.
He won this debate.
Biden lost it, but Donald Trump won it.
And I think that this is a thing that we can look forward to as we go forward.
I think that this is going to charge Trump up.
I think it's going to charge not just his base up.
I think it's going to charge the people who surround him up.
And we'll talk about that more in a little bit.
But first, let's move on to chapter three, Holy Crap 3.
Holy, holy crap, crap, crap.

I just make it look this easy.
Debate Fallout00:11:47
All right, the debate ends, and it's absolute panic on the Democrat side, as it should be.
And again, you know, I think that people, again, I think they're panicking.
They are panicking because Biden obviously can't handle the job and it was shown that he can't handle the job and everyone could see it.
There was no hiding it.
There were no, you know, cutting videos or anything like that.
But also, you know, Trump is doing really well.
So I don't like it when people blame Joe Biden.
You know, sometimes I think, you know, why doesn't Joe Biden stop Joe from doing what he's doing, from going down the drain like this?
And my wife always says to me, when have I ever, she's always says to me, when have I ever been able to stop you from doing anything that you didn't want to stop doing, right?
And so maybe she's right about that.
Maybe, you know, the guy is immovable.
I don't know.
But it was just sad to watch her come out.
Somebody took the video on a cell phone of her leading him away, you know, from the stage.
He could barely walk.
She was shepherding him down.
And then afterwards, at the gathering afterwards, of the people cheering for him and pretending that he did a good job, here's what she said to him.
This is cut 25.
Joe, you did such a great job.
You answered every question you knew I'd have.
And let me ask the crowd, what did Trump do?
So two things.
I mean, one is the look on that guy's face.
Like she's talking to him like your mommy talks to you after you lose a little league game.
You know, you did a great job.
You tried hard.
You answered all the questions.
You swung at all the pitches, you know.
And he has this look on his face.
Thank you so much.
I felt so bad because I struck out.
And then she says it, what I'm telling you.
And what did Trump do?
He lied.
But he didn't.
He didn't.
He just didn't.
You know, Trump's capable of lying.
I'll call him out if he lies, but he didn't.
The things he said were true.
Then I just have to add this little clip.
She has a fundraiser afterwards, you know, getting people to sign up.
And this is what she says.
You heard Joe's heart tonight on the debate stage.
He wakes up every morning thinking about how he can make the lives of Americans better.
He's the president we need, the president you deserve.
Sign up at joebiden.com to help finish the job.
So she said, we heard his heart.
I'm not sure anyone can hear his heart.
I think if you pressed your ear to his chest, you'd be, I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I don't call Kamala because, you know, so I'm not even sure that was exactly the best way to phrase that.
Meanwhile, that's what they're saying.
Here's the reality.
Okay.
This is the press.
10 seconds ago, they're telling us that we evil right-wingers are editing tapes and we're not being fair and we're showing him to be crazy.
Here, right after the debate, same guys, same people who were telling us this come out with this.
Here's John King on CNN Cut 23.
Right now, as we speak, there is a deep, a wide, and a very aggressive panic in the Democratic Party.
It started minutes into the debate and it continues right now.
It involves party strategists.
It involves elected officials.
It involves fundraisers.
And they're having conversations about the president's performance, which they think was dismal, which they think will hurt other people down the party in the ticket.
And they're having conversations about what they should do about it.
Some of those conversations include, should we go to the White House and ask the president to step aside?
Others are, other of the conversations are about should prominent Democrats go public with that call because they feel this debate was so terrible.
They do say in moments in the debate later, the president got better and got his footing.
But then at the end, even his closing statement was a little halting.
A little halting.
It was also untrue.
This is the other thing.
You know, not only did Trump tell the truth, everything Biden said was untrue.
And the only reason the press can't see it was untrue is because they've been saying the same thing.
They've been backing him up, you know, and they've been backing this stuff up that just isn't so.
And the most important one is the economy because they keep selling us the fact that it's us being stupid, that we don't understand what a great economy it is.
And I'm sorry, when people can't afford eggs, they know they can't afford eggs.
You know, when people can't afford groceries and things, they know it.
When they can't send their kids to summer camp or when they can't get their kids' presents, when they can't do the things that they want to do, they know.
So having some clown at the New York Times or CNN or NBC saying, you know, you guys are too stupid to realize what a great economy this is, sounds like exactly what it is.
Elites who are doing fine lecturing people who aren't doing so well because inflation, which is caused by one thing, the government printing money, which is caused by one thing, the government overspending, which is what Joe Biden has been doing since he stepped into office and hasn't stopped doing, hasn't promised to continue doing.
That makes things too expensive for people to afford if they're not making millions and millions of dollars.
Here's Thomas Friedman.
You know, this is, again, in the analysis, it's all about the Trump lies.
Here's Thomas Friedman talking about what he saw, right?
I watched the Biden-Trump debate alone in a Lisbon hotel room, and it made me weep.
I cannot remember a more heartbreaking moment in American presidential campaign politics in my lifetime, precisely because of what it revealed.
Joe Biden, a good man and a good president, has no business running for reelection.
And Donald Trump, a malicious man and a petty president, has learned nothing and forgotten nothing.
He's the same fire hose of lies he always was, obsessed with his grievances, nowhere close to what it will take for America to lead in the 21st century.
Now, first of all, calling Joe Biden a good man is just false.
He's a bad person.
He has always been a bad person.
He's a plagiarist.
He's a liar.
He's a racial, you know, flamethrower.
He plays races off one another.
It used to be he would play off black people, calling them predators.
Then he was the big anti-crime guy because that's where the party was.
So that's where Joe went.
He's the guy who lied about Anita Hill.
He has just always been a dishonest, terrible man.
And as a president, he sucks.
He sucks.
And so they're just going to go back into the same lies.
But here's the thing.
If you're in a court of law, right, and they're questioning a witness and they can prove that the witness lied, a lot of times the jury will say, well, if he lied about one thing, he's going to lie about another.
The press has now been caught with their pants down.
This is a huge singing in the rain moment when the curtain opens behind you and you realize these people are being dubbed and the people dubbing them are the Democrat Party.
Here's Frank Bruni.
Frank Bruni is to the left of Stalin, right?
From the moment the debate, first he goes into this long thing about how evil Donald Trump is, and we all know how evil Donald Trump is.
From the moment the debate began, Biden seemed unsteady, off.
His expression was often frozen.
It's like nobody has said any of this before, right?
Frank Bruni is just discovering this.
His voice was often flat.
He garbled words.
He corrected himself mid-sentence over and over again.
He'd clearly memorized key talking points, key phrases, but he repeatedly used them without providing adequate context, swerved from one to another without any transition, halted sentences before they reached their destination, started sentences without giving them any bearings.
Huh, too bad nobody told them this was happening.
Here is, again, their front page analysis, New York Times front-page analysis.
Democrats who have defended the president for months against his doubters, including members of his own administration, traded frenzied phone calls and text messages within minutes of the start of the debate as it became clear that Mr. Biden was not at his sharpest, practically in despair.
Some took to social media to express shock, while others privately discussed among themselves whether it was too late to persuade the president to step aside in favor of a younger candidate.
Biden is about to face a crescendo of calls to step aside, said a veteran Democratic strategist and has staunchly backed Mr. Biden publicly.
Joe had a deep well of affection among Democrats.
It has run dry.
Here is Patrick Healy.
I'm hearing high anxiety from Democrats over Biden's debate performance, Nicholas Kristoff, President Biden.
It is time to drop out.
You know, at the end of the debate, Danabash repeatedly asked Donald Trump if he'd accept the results of the election.
And what I thought was he should ask her that.
Will you accept the results of the election?
Will you accept that I won?
What about the New York Times?
Will the New York Times accept that I won?
Will Hillary Clinton accept that I won?
Trump left office on January 20th.
Whatever else you say about him, he left office.
There was no need for the military to drag him out.
There was no insurrection.
That's nonsense.
There was no chance that Donald Trump was going to overturn our democracy and not leave office as he was supposed to do.
He was trying every legal means to stop them.
Everything failed.
He left office.
Did Hillary Clinton ever stop trying to sabotage his presidency using the FBI and false information, feeding false information to the FBI?
Did CIA operatives and former CIA leaders, did they ever stop trying to undermine him?
Did the media, the deep state, ever stop trying to undermine Donald Trump?
Did they accept?
Did they accept that he had won the election?
Nobody asks that, right?
Nobody asks that.
Biden was asked if he thought those who vote for Trump were voting against democracy.
Here's what he said, cut 14.
Do you believe that the tens of millions of Americans who are likely to vote for President Trump will be voting against American democracy?
The more they know about what he's done, yes.
The more they know about what he's done.
And there's a lot more coming.
He's got a lot of cases down the road coming around.
He's got a whole range of issues he has to face.
I don't know what the juries will do, but I do know he has a real problem.
What got me involved to run in the first place after my son had died in Iraq because of Iraq, I said I wasn't going to run again until I saw what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia.
People coming out of the woods carrying swastikas, torches, torches, and singing the same anti-Semitic bile they sang back in Germany.
And the young woman got killed.
I spoke to the mother, and they asked him, they said, what do you think of those people?
The people who got killed, the one that tried to stop it, and the ones, he said, I think they're fine people on both sides.
What American president would ever say, Nazis coming out of fields carrying torches, singing the same anti-Semitic bile, carrying swastikas were fine people.
This is a guy who says Hitler's done some good things.
I'd like to know what they are.
Unbelievable.
That is unbelievable.
As Trump repeatedly pointed out, the both sides thing has been debunked hilariously, hilariously.
One of my favorite stories of the week was Snopes, the theoretical fact-checker, which is always on the left.
Snopes debunked it.
What is it?
Seven years.
It's seven years after Trump didn't say it.
What Trump said was there are good people on both sides.
Oh, I don't mean the Nazis.
I meant the people arguing over the statues.
That's what he obviously meant.
Snopes debunked it.
I guess it must have been Grandpa Snopes.
Pds Debunks Both Sides00:02:03
It took him a little while.
I'm going to check this one out right away.
I'm moving a little slow now these days, but I'm going to check this one.
Seven years to debunk it, and Biden ran on it again and again and again.
This both sides thing that everybody knew was a hoax.
Jake Tapper has said it was a hoax.
Look, Biden lost because he has dementia, but Trump won because he was disciplined.
He kept the focus on Biden and he told the truth.
And this is, it's incredible.
It is incredible that we can play these clips right here and you can hear Joe Biden lying.
You can hear him saying things that aren't true.
You can hear him saying things that are debunked.
And they keep saying, well, Trump lied.
Trump lied.
I'd like to see where.
I'd like to see where Trump told a lie.
He didn't.
He told the truth.
He showed up.
He beat this guy.

Hate Speech Movement00:12:35
Final chapter, Trumpety Trump Trump.
I got to play this one clip only because it was my favorite moment in the debate.
It was this little exchange toward the end.
I spent half my career being criticized being the youngest person in politics.
I was the second youngest person ever elected to the United States Senate.
And now I'm the oldest.
This guy's three years younger and a lot less competent.
Well, I took two tests, cognitive tests.
I aced him, both of them, as you know.
We made it public.
He took none.
I'd like to see him take one.
Just one, a real easy one.
I'd go through the first five questions.
He couldn't do it.
But I took two cognitive tests.
I took physical exams every year.
And you know, we knock on wood wherever we may have wood that I'm in very good health.
I just won two club championships, not even senior, two regular club championships.
To do that, you have to be quite smart and you have to be able to hit the ball a long way.
And I do it.
He doesn't do it.
He can't hit a ball 50 yards.
You can see he is 6'5 and only 220 third pounds or 20 or 35 pounds.
Well, you said 6'4, 200.
I never said it was.
Well, anyway, that's what you're anyway.
Just take a look at what he says he is and take a look at what he is.
Look, I'd be happy to have a driving contest with him.
I got my handicap, which when I was vice president, down to a six.
Oh, by the way, I told you before I'm happy to play golf if you carry your own bag.
Think you can do it?
That's the biggest lie that I'm going to do.
He's a six-handicap of all.
I was an eight-handicapped.
I've seen you swing.
I know you swing.
Let's not act like children.
President Trump, we're going to.
Let's not act like children.
What I loved about that is that I think that was the thing Trump cared about most, the guy lying about his handicap, the idea that he could possibly take him at a golf game.
You know, there's something about Trump that remains delightful.
One of the memes I keep seeing on the right, which is just, I'm almost positive not true, is that the DNC set this up for Biden to fail so they would have an excuse to replace him.
I don't know if they're going to be able to replace him.
They may try.
There's going to be a movement to try.
But that's a very, very difficult thing for them to do at this point.
They may want to, but I don't know if they can.
They didn't send him into the lines then to fail.
They sent him into the lines then, first, because they believe their own lies.
And second, because they thought, look, if we're going to have a debate, we better have it soon because Biden is clearly declining.
And they thought that Trump would negotiate with them and they would have him and say, well, now, you know, if he can't follow the rules, we're not going to debate with him.
And they would have gotten out of the debate.
That's what they thought was going to happen.
Trump outsmarted them.
He outsmarted them because he is incredibly self-confident.
He knew what was going on.
And he thought, and he didn't even care.
They sent Jake Tapper.
Jake Tapper compared him to Hitler two or three times.
He just said, bring him on, bring him on.
That kind of self-confidence is very inspiring.
And it was Trump who beat this guy.
This was not something they did on purpose.
Trump was too smart for them, too self-confident, too aggressive.
He's learned how bad they are, and he's adapted, and he told the truth.
You know, I got a clapback letter from a guy named Bob in Baltimore, who, like a lot of people, is unhappy with me.
He's very nice about it, but he's unhappy with me because I won't say that the election was stolen, right?
I have said that it was unfair, it was rigged, but this idea that the numbers were, you know, somehow gamed, I'm not saying they don't, there wasn't fraud.
There's always fraud.
The Democrats always commit fraud.
I'm just saying I'm not convinced.
I haven't seen enough evidence to say that the numbers were enough, the fraud was enough to turn the election around.
So Bob says, hello, wise bald one.
Something doesn't make sense.
It's been bugging me.
According to you, we're supposed to believe our news media has been captured and corrupted.
Our institutions of higher learning have been captured and corruption.
Our regulatory administrations in D.C. have been captured and corrupted.
Our religious institutions, our entertainment, our weaponized legal system all have been captured and corrupted.
Our medical system, now owned by big pharma, has been captured and utterly corrupted.
Our scientists captured and corrupted, but not our elections.
Totally on the up and up.
Our elections without a sufficient number of fake ballots being funneled into the system to reach a desired outcome.
That just seems weird, he says.
How can this be?
Was stealing elections just the last thing on the list?
Or stealing elections just to bridge too far for the Satanist thieves and pedoes who run our country?
You're right there, just one step further to go.
You've accepted all the other things.
Listen, I don't expect that they wouldn't do it.
I don't think that they, it's not that I think they wouldn't do it.
It's that when I had Dinesh D'Souza on after he made his movie and I questioned him with a lot of respect because I have a lot of respect for Dinesh, he ended up saying, well, I'm just asking questions because he didn't have what it took.
When I read the documents that they were going to, that the lawyers were going to bring into court, they didn't have the case.
They didn't have the things that they were saying.
Oh, we're going to unleash the Krakeno.
We have all this evidence.
They didn't have it.
And so I haven't seen evidence except incidental evidence on Axe and on Twitter that this could have taken place.
If I see it, I'll change my mind.
So why won't I say it?
Why won't I drink the Kool-Aid and say what I have to say?
It's because I don't just care who runs the country.
I care who I am and I care who you are.
I care who our side is.
And we have to be the guys who tell the truth because ultimately that's going to work in our favor.
And ultimately, it's the right thing to do.
I've gotten Trump right a lot.
And there's a reason for that.
There's a reason I've gotten Trump right a lot.
I don't care about him.
I don't care about him.
I don't like him much, but I don't hate him either.
I respect him, but I don't admire him and I don't honor him.
I will tell you who I care about, what I care about deeply.
I care about the people who voted. for Trump.
They are the people I work for.
They're the people I'm trying to reach.
They're the people I want to win in this country.
Working people, but also business people.
People who just want America to be prosperous and free.
Why did they vote for Donald Trump?
This is the thing that the left, the newspaper, the media have not had the intellectual curiosity to even wonder aloud.
Why did people vote for this outlier, for this celebrity, for this big mouth?
Why did they do it?
They voted for Trump because they know the Democrats, the elites hate them, despise them, and they know the Republicans don't give a damn about them.
And they don't.
They don't.
They tell them what they want to hear.
They go on Fox News and they get their sound bites, but they don't care to do the things that the people want them to do.
They let their jobs leave the country.
They let the middle of the country fall apart.
They take away their freedoms.
They pour money into places into their little projects that don't do anything for the ordinary Americans.
They know Trump's flaws.
I've never talked to people, no matter how much they admire Trump, I've never talked to anybody who didn't know that he's a flawed individual, that he says things he shouldn't, that he does things he shouldn't, that he has done things he shouldn't.
But they understand that he thinks like them and he likes them and he wants America to work.
You know, this stuff that the left sells, this race stuff, this sex stuff, it's a sickness.
It is a sickness.
White people don't hate black people in this country.
They wish, they wish that blacks would pull themselves together and start to succeed and stop whining about things that happened in the past and keep their families together and keep people, you know, people out of the gangs and keep people out of off drugs and start to rise in this country.
They want them to.
The white people in this country want them to rise.
They understand the history of this country.
I don't think that they are, you know, obviously always racist, but I don't think that they are, this country is anywhere near as racist as every other country I've ever been in, and I've been in a lot of them.
And that's pretty much the way Trump feels too.
He wants people to succeed.
You know, he wants people to succeed.
He bragged and bragged about what he had done for black people.
I don't think people hate gay people.
They think marriage between a man and a woman is the bedrock of this country.
It is the bedrock of culture.
It's the bedrock of freedom.
They're right.
And that's the way Trump feels.
People in this country don't hate Jews or Irish or Italians, but they understand that we're all clinging to this little life raft of freedom that's the only one left.
And there's going to be friction between us.
And we want to make jokes about each other.
And we want to shove each other and we want to criticize each other.
And we want to gather with our own sometimes and talk about the other guy and how we don't like him.
Trump is the same way.
It's just ordinary.
It is just real life.
Biden lost this debate because he's an old man and leftist policies suck.
And he doesn't have the sense to bring the party to the center where they could have coasted on the COVID recovery.
But Trump won this debate because as rich as he is, as successful as he is, as big as he is, his heart is with the forgotten man.
That's why he wins.
That's why he's won.
That's why he may win again.
His heart is with the forgotten man.
And no matter what the left says, that forgotten man is white and he's black and he's straight and he's gay and he has faith and he's an atheist.
He's people you would like and he's people you don't like.
He's an American.
There's 350 million of us.
There's a lot of us.
We're not going to all get along.
We're not going to all be the same.
But we're all of us, the mainstream American, is tired of being lied to.
He's tired of being abused by these elites and manipulated for the sake of their stupid little theories and their dreams that they want to dream on the backs of the people.
Trump wants to live.
Americans want to live.
Americans want to succeed.
Trump wants us to succeed.
Americans want to be free and Trump wants us to be free.
And the Democrats hate all that.
And the Republicans don't give a damn.
Donald Trump represents the forgotten man.
Sometimes he does it well.
Sometimes he does it badly.
But he does it almost alone among the elites and among the political class.
Biden lost last night, but because he actually hears the voice of the people, Trump won.
And I hope to hell he wins again in November.
If you have not heard, Jeremy Boring announced an exciting partnership with Angel Studios and Daily Wire Plus to bring you a brand new film called Sound of Hope: The Story of Possum Trot.
It's coming to theaters this July 4th.
Last year, Angel Studios movie Sound of Freedom made a profound impact by shining a powerful light on the child trafficking crisis.
Now Angel Studios is back, continuing their fight for kids, and Daily Wire is joining with them.
Sound of Hope is the true story.
This is not just a preachment.
You know, this is an actual story.
It'll break your heart.
It'll make you cry.
It's a story of 22 families from a rural church who adopted 77 kids from the foster system, sparking a movement to save vulnerable children everywhere.
The acting is absolutely terrific.
We have a trailer for you guys so you can get a feel for what this movie is all about.
Take a look.
Are you sure these people want us?
I know they do.
you can call me mama oh lord we can't wrap our arms around the most vulnerable then what do we have Noise.
And the children can't take the noise anymore.
This is something that we must do.
22 families want to adopt.
Hold on one's kids now.
That's about right.
What's happening with Possum Trot could mean a huge change for the system.
I watched this film like.
Like I said, it will make you cry.
It places strong family values at its core.
It's more than just a movie.
It is also a call to action.
Right now, there are over 100,000 children in a foster care system that does not work.
They need homes.
They need our help, raising awareness as how you can help today.
The best way to do that is by seeing Sound of Hope in theaters.
This is exactly how we start a movement to change the culture.
Sound of Hope is coming to theaters July 4th.
Tickets are on sale now.

All right, we'll do some clapbacks in the member block, but for now, this final thought.
Pretending to Watch the WNBA00:03:51
As we swirl rapidly down into the hurly-burly, upsy-daisy, stinky-dinky of the American political season, before being flushed swiftly into the thunderous plumbing of loyalist rage, expert idiocy, and media lies until we emerge in the noxious sewer of broken promises, vengeful hyperbole, and did I already mention media lies?
I'd like to take a moment to refresh our souls at the fountain of compassion by walking a mile in our opponent's shoes and then hiding them so our opponents have to hop around barefoot in all the crap they've left lying around on the streets of our cities, which would only serve them right.
For instance, as November looms, it's now becoming clear that leftists are facing a problem.
With Iran putting the final touches on the nuclear arsenal funded with the pallets of billions sent to them by Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and with China strengthening the Navy that is rapidly outstripping an American military, strangling on Democrat funding cuts while wasting its resources celebrating the sexual perversity that is the mainstay of the left's political philosophy, and with Russia completing the destruction of Ukraine because the massive amounts of American funding meant to defend that nation have been inexplicably slow-walked,
allowing Putin to refresh his attack while Biden dithers.
Left-wingers across our country are growing increasingly concerned about the WNBA.
Now, whether you don't know what the WNBA is or don't care, the problem for leftists is very complex.
The rise of superstar player Caitlin Clark into some girls' team or other has provided leftists with a great reason to pretend to give a smoldering belch about a bunch of lady beanstalks throwing a ball at a net with a level of skill so amazing it makes the men's game look much better and more entertaining.
But this raises questions.
If Caitlin Clark has caused leftists to pretend to follow the WNBA with the same enthusiasm with which they pretend to follow soccer, why didn't they pretend to follow the game when all the most talented players were black?
And now, when some black player whose name they don't know because they've never watched a WNBA game in their lives fouls Caitlin Clark by smacking her full force in the back of the head, should leftists side with Caitlin since she's the only reason they're pretending to watch the games in the first place?
Or should they Google the name of the black player and side with her so they don't have to admit it was their flagrantly racist behavior that made black what's her name?
Clock Caitlin, because what's her name?
Has been playing her nameless heart out with a work, ethic and skill that raises women's basketball to a level nowhere near the men's game.
And no one's been watching her all that time because she's in the WNBA.
And what about trans people?
If a hulking male like Leah Thomas is allowed to go swinging his dingus around a woman's locker room so that leftists can pretend there's no advantage to being a male athlete in a woman's sport?
Why didn't the leftists pretend to watch women's basketball before Caitlin Clark so that women players could be paid the same amount as men, with money that would exist if anyone was buying tickets to their games instead of the main men's games, where the people play better, because the people are men.
Now, if a black man were playing in the w NBA and he fouled Caitlin Clark by hitting her full force in the back of the head, then for the next few years, while Caitlin Clark was regaining consciousness and learning to walk again and using dining utensils with dulled edges so she didn't cut herself.
She could be replaced by another black man who would foul other players until the entire WNBA was populated by black men, making the games worth watching.
Then all the leftist dilemmas could be solved by watching black men play basketball and Calling it the WNBA, thus supporting black people, trans people, and women's sports, which will finally rise to the level of men's sports by being sports played by men.
Shroud of Darkness00:00:28
That would make all the leftists happy until China, Russia, and Iran slaughter everyone because Democrats suck at running the country.
