| If you want to be a part of the program, we got a lot of ground to cover. | |
| The mob, the media, the Democrats, they've all known the Biden we saw last night is the Biden we have been pointing out to you on radio and television, now going on over four plus years. | |
| It was maybe he's had more decline since we started talking about it, but it was like 2020, 2021. | |
| I was talking about Joe Biden, warm milky, sippy cup, night night, and bedtime stories, and you're not going to get your ice cream. | |
| Well, if I'm a good boy, can I get my ice cream and everything? | |
| Uh it's the same Biden. | |
| The Biden we saw last night did not surprise the mob and the media the way they acted. | |
| It did not surprise those of us that pay attention every day. | |
| It did not surprise Democratic politicians. | |
| They've all known about it. | |
| They've all covered for it. | |
| You know, the only people that really didn't know that much about it, unfortunately, are people that don't listen to talk radio or don't watch Fox News and don't get the truth from the media mob or these elected politicians. | |
| Because this Biden has been in a significant cognitive decline. | |
| It's been going on for years. | |
| We saw it way before the 2020 election, and everybody has been trying to hide it from the American people. | |
| And what happened last night is because it was so widely viewed, they couldn't hide their lie anymore. | |
| And it's not any more complicated than that. | |
| I you know, I wish I had time to go through this systematically. | |
| Maybe later in the program, I'll just play the media mob and their reaction to this, and they're shocked. | |
| They're not shocked. | |
| I mean, you think of everything that they have said to us that is a lie. | |
| I mean, they say, Oh, inflation is transitory and the border is closed and the border is secure, and on and on and on, and and Joe Biden, he gets more done in an hour than the average person gets done in an entire day. | |
| And Joe Biden, he's so energetic that I have a hard time keeping up with them. | |
| I think it was Circle Bag Gensaki who said that. | |
| And now the meet media meltdown, and now the talks of uh getting him to be replaced from the race. | |
| And then it was it was even more embarrassing when Joe's wife Jill, you know, went to this post-debate I don't know, rally that they had and gushing over his debate performance. | |
| You did such a great job, Joey. | |
| We're really proud of you, Joey. | |
| And if you look at the end of the debate, it was Joe Biden, as usual. | |
| Somebody needs to help him. | |
| How many times have we talked about Joe Biden? | |
| Mumbling, bumbling, stumbling, fumbling, dazed and confused, doesn't know whether to exit stage left or stage right. | |
| How many times have I shown this on TV? | |
| How many days have we talked about it? | |
| How much criticism have I gotten in the last four plus years being at the forefront of pointing out what is obvious, what you know, the Bible says if you have Eyes to see and ears to hear, then you can see and you can hear. | |
| But that which the media either they've convinced themselves because they're so wrapped up in their Trump derangement syndrome that it wasn't true, or they're just flat out lying to people. | |
| Now, based on their history, I'd say it was probably the latter that they're flat out lying to you. | |
| These are the same people that had no problem at all. | |
| Hillary Clinton, top secret, classified information on her servers, more than they ever found with Donald Trump, but no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute. | |
| Remember? | |
| This is lawfair. | |
| This is the weaponization of justice. | |
| This is a dual justice system we've often referred to. | |
| Or Hillary Clinton subpoenaed emails on her servers and hard drives, and then all of a sudden a new word appeared in the American lexicon. | |
| Most people had not heard of before, a product called Bleach Bit that was wipes these servers clean. | |
| You mean like with a cloth? | |
| No, no. | |
| You wipes it clean, meaning any data that may remain on them, or taking devices and smashing them with hammers or removing SIM cards so nobody can get the data that was actually in them, or the fact that there's such a double standard when it comes to uh Joe Biden, he has top secret classified documents going back decades of four separate locations. | |
| There's no raid for that. | |
| I mean, we are now living in uh uh we cannot even really refer to ourselves as a constitutional republic right now. | |
| You know, this election is not over because of last night's debate, and I don't want anybody getting complacent here. | |
| If anything, it should increase your urgency and the idea that they would like to with 129 days there I know what the Democratic Party's doing. | |
| I have my sources, they're out polling right now. | |
| You know, who would best be the person to replace Joe Biden? | |
| That's what they're polling. | |
| And I'm sure many Democrats will go to Joe and Joe Biden and beg and plead and and cajole them into hopefully abandoning their their political uh personal ambition for the good of the country and step aside and then throw in this you know last minute, late minute contender. | |
| Have we not have an uh had enough interference in our elections? | |
| You know, in the last number of years, the dirty disinformation dossier bought and paid for by Hillary Clinton, talk about an FEC violation. | |
| Where's Alvin Bragg when you need him? | |
| Money that was labeled as a business as a law expense that went to a law firm. | |
| That law firm then spent that money and hired a op research firm that then hired uh former MI6 agent Christopher Steele. | |
| No consequences for Hillary, and that dirty, unverified, untrue, now debunked dossier became the foundation for four separate Pfizer warrants. | |
| Do you see that the deep state level of corruption we have been warning you about for years? | |
| And now that they've taken it in 2016 they did it, in 2020 it was 51 former Intel uh uh officials, and some that were even current contractors, and they're asked by Wink and Tony Blinken and Mike Morell to sign on to this. | |
| It looks like Russian disinformation has all the markings of Russian disinformation. | |
| There wasn't a single one of the 51 people, not one that ever examined that laptop that was very real from hell, and and look at what the FBI did in the lead up to that. | |
| They knew Rudy Giuliani's attorney had a copy of it. | |
| So what did they do? | |
| They went out there and pre-bunked it by meeting in the months leading up to the 2020 election after they themselves verified its authenticity in March of 2020, and they were meeting with big tech companies telling them, well, you guys got to be on the lookout, you're probably gonna be a victim of a misinformation, disinformation campaign. | |
| And so they're meeting with big tech on a weekly basis, and then lo and behold, in the weeks before the 2020 election, they the laptop story breaks in the New York Post and Big Tech, even Twitter and Facebook to their credit, said, Is this what you've been warning us about? | |
| And And they they knew the answer was no. | |
| The laptop is real. | |
| But they didn't tell big tech. | |
| That censored the story. | |
| Most Americans didn't know. | |
| If you tried to share that link, that New York Post Hunter Biden laptop story link with a friend privately on social media. | |
| Do you realize you are censored from doing that? | |
| And now we have, you know, such panic is set in because their big lie has been exposed that they've been hiding from the American people. | |
| How corrupt are these people? | |
| And God only knows what else they might be capable of in the lead up to an election. | |
| Poll show that had the American people known that the laptop was real, the laptop where Hunter implicates his own father, the laptop that Joe himself lied about, the laptop that exposed that he lied when he said he never talked to his son brother or anybody for that matter. | |
| Well, Hunter Biden and verified by Tony Balinski, they talk about the big guy getting 10% for him. | |
| They also on that laptop talk about how Hunter complains bitterly about giving 50% of his income to Pops. | |
| He talks directly with their financial guy about what account they ought to be paying for Pops' home repairs. | |
| And then Joe, of course, is using and leveraging a billion taxpayer dollars to get a prosecutor in Ukraine fired as vice president. | |
| Who else why would a vice president ever do that? | |
| Oh, that's right. | |
| His son, who went on Good Morning America, admitted he had no experience in oil, gas, energy, coal, or Ukraine, was being paid millions. | |
| And according to Hunter in his own laptop that is now very real and verified as real and authenticated and not tampered with, according to FBI testimony at his trial, is you know, implicates his own dad. | |
| And none of the media want to ever touched any of this. | |
| They've just been busy peddling the phony Russia collusion story for three years, the ridiculous Ukrainian impeachment. | |
| Now we know so much that was told about January 6th, and we have the Supreme Court ruling on that today, uh, which by the way went exactly the way I told you it would go, and it will have implications on the special counsel's case against Donald Trump. | |
| But now we know they destroyed all of the evidence that they had gathered, more of a good part of it. | |
| Now we know that Donald Trump, I had already played for you, Chris Miller, the acting defense secretary, his chief of staff, uh President Trump's chief of staff, President Trump himself, uh, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs admitting uh separately. | |
| I have four people on tape saying that, yeah, he authorized 10,000 troops. | |
| That was rejected by Nancy Pelosi, rejected by Muriel Bowser in writing. | |
| Many of you will peacefully and patriotically go to the Capitol, so your voices will be heard. | |
| That wasn't put in Liz Cheney's, you know, prime time Hollywood production on the January 6th committee. | |
| I mean, it's unbelievable the amount of lying, manipulation, corruption that exists in Washington. | |
| All of you today should be feeling betrayed, betrayed by the media, betrayed by the Democrats. | |
| They have all known his state of mind, and they have all been part of covering it up. | |
| It is a clear and present danger to our country. | |
| This guy has got to be voted out, or any replacement only because they got caught, needs to not even be considered a legitimate candidate. | |
| I know panic is set in. | |
| Now the Biden people saying that they're not gonna bail out of this campaign. | |
| And then how interesting, Jack Dub Joe showed up in North Carolina today. | |
| And I want to say one thing about last night's debate. | |
| I'll play it for it a little bit. | |
| Meanwhile, President Trump is with Governor Yuncan, Glenn Youncan, the Commonwealth of Virginia that rally starts. | |
| Well, Governor Yuncan has already been up there, but that rally starts, you know, pretty shortly. | |
| But we really don't have time to go to rallies today. | |
| We got too much news to cover. | |
| But anyway, uh Trump campaign is now opening field offices in Virginia, which I think is amazing. | |
| You know, remember A couple of weeks ago. | |
| We'll play this later in the program. | |
| Maybe I'll just spend the final half hour of the program playing the liberal mob media that has lied to you for three years and and what they were saying last night. | |
| And meanwhile, every single solitary one of them, the same people that pedaled the Russia conspiracy lie, the same people that had no problem with valuating a valuation of Marlogo at 18 million when they knew it was a flat out lie, the same people that know that an NDA is legal, | |
| the same people that know that it's a misdemeanor, the statute of limitations that run out, the same people that know that you can't come up with a novel legal theory and upcharge a misdemeanor into some type of federal elections crime. | |
| Never mind 34 felonies, the same people that had no problem with a judge that ignored the Sixth Amendment that that literally has absolutely no qualms about weaponizing justice, the same Department of Justice under Merrick Garland that won't let you hear Robert Herr and his interview with Joe Biden because exactly what you saw last night would be exposed. | |
| So a weaponized Department of Justice protecting Joe in every way imaginable. | |
| You know, liberal uh Joe over at MSDNC saying to us, lecturing anybody that would listen just a couple of weeks ago. | |
| I'll play the tape later about how uh unbelievable it is that you know anybody would question this man's mental acuity and now saying that, oh, well, Trump's gonna win unless there's a change. | |
| No, they they they can't get away with their protection racket, their lies, their pedaling of conspiracy theories. | |
| We were proven right on the Russia hoax. | |
| It took three years and an ensemble cast on this show and on Hannity, the TV show, we got it right. | |
| Nobody's gonna say, hey Hannity, you were right about Joe's cognitive decline. | |
| Yeah, okay, I'm expecting that. | |
| And let me tell you why. | |
| I get do give credit to the fake Jake and then Dana Bash. | |
| They did a they did a good job last night. | |
| But I'm gonna tell you something. | |
| Had they not been exposed as being liberal, Biden supporting Trump hating talk show hosts, that debate would have gone very differently last night. | |
| And I'll tell you another thing. | |
| The Biden campaign, I'm sure agonized over whether to jack him up or not. | |
| Because they knew that everybody was going to be looking out for jacked up Joe like the one we saw on at the State of the Union address, and what a difference that person is. | |
| He's not qualified to be president. | |
| Now you got all these people calling for Biden to drop out. | |
| Nicholas Christoff, the the poor ladies of the view, they feel duped. | |
| How could you feel duped unless you're just completely blind, dumb, and stupid? | |
| There's no duping here. | |
| The video's been out there forever. | |

| All right, when we come back, more analysis from last night. | |
| Later on, we'll play a lot of the cuts of the mob of the media acting so shocked. | |
| Dr. Ronnie Jackson coming up as well. | |
| All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800, 941 Shauna's on number. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, I'm trying to do the math in my head really quickly here. | |
| By the way, the the biggest uh network uh audience was Fox News last night. | |
| Linda for CNN's debate. | |
| How funny is that? | |
| I think it's a beautiful thing. | |
| I think it just shows you that no matter what happens when fake Jake is hosting, we know it's fake news. | |
| I mean, don't you remember all those chants? | |
| Fake news CNN. | |
| I mean, they couldn't go anywhere in 2016. | |
| I I I don't want to go do too deep into the weeds on ratings, and I I rarely ever talk about it. | |
| We you know, we're always usually in the top one, two, or three, and I have been my entire career, and um I just feel blessed because the only reason I am is because we have the best audience in the world on radio and TV. | |
| And it just, I don't know. | |
| I just I I just kind of have uh a feeling that I I've been blessed, and you should be you know grateful and thankful and not boastful and kind of arrogant, and it's just I think you know that's not really who I am, and I think the audience knows that, but I am grateful that I continue to it's they could fire me any day they want um by not listening or watching. | |
| But here now, and this is the thing, and this is where I don't want to go too deep in the weeds because measuring listenership and viewership is more difficult now than it's ever been, and there's a big reason why. | |
| Um, for example, uh every radio station that I'm on, but we're at around 750 stations now, has will get ratings, but then they all have their own website, and on their website, they they have listeners that listen there. | |
| So they're listening online there or listen on Hannity.com or uh, you know, on Satellite or whatever they happen to be listening to, or they listen uh later on on delay or on podcast. | |
| I mean, there's there's just all sorts of ways. | |
| So you it's just hard to get it. | |
| So for example, when I just look at, for example, Fox, 9 million, and and fake news CNN at 8.7 million, and you know, ABC at 8.6 million, and or 8.7, close to 8.7 also. | |
| Uh MSDNC close to 4 million, a little shy of 4 million, and NBC at five uh 5.2 million, uh CBS 4.8 million, Fox Network, which is 3.4 million, and then you know, we're not even we're not even carrying, you know, Spanish speaking uh uh networks that carry the debate also, and then you're not factoring in. | |
| There's so many other, you know, networks that I'm not even factoring in here. | |
| Uh and when you factor it all in, so it's it's you're looking at probably 75 million people, if you include then the online viewing that took place. | |
| Then you have YouTube TV and you can watch it on, I think you can watch it on WhatsApp now, and then where you can watch it on Rumble. | |
| If I'm wrong on any of this, please correct me live on air on because I don't you know more than I do. | |
| And there's all these other people. | |
| WhatsApp is not a place where you watch shows. | |
| WhatsApp is a place where you can text and do things free of charge when you're out of the country. | |
| I think you mean maybe Telegram. | |
| No, I thought WhatsApp had a way to actually view things. | |
| I'm I'm not sure. | |
| I mean, it's like it's it's like text messaging, except that you can text you can text the people like anywhere, and it's free. | |
| So you don't have to have like an international calling plan. | |
| If you go out of the country, you can use that and you can send pictures, videos, whatever, just like you would on a regular text. | |
| Yeah. | |
| I mean, are there any other platforms like, for example, could you have watched the debate on X last night? | |
| You could watch it on X, you could watch it on Facebook, you could watch it on Telegram, you could watch it on Parlor, you could watch it on Rumble, you could watch it on YouTube. | |
| And people do, and I don't know what the exact measurements are. | |
| I don't think you can ever get the full complete measurement. | |
| So if I just look at the numbers that we do have, and then factor in that, okay, there's millions that watched on a lot of these other networks that aren't even listed in the sheet that I got. | |
| And and I get these every single day, and I see them every single day. | |
| And by the way, it's amazing. | |
| Like the the show that we did at uh eight o'clock that I was co-hosting with a bunch of other Fox hosts, my friends on Fox, uh, that show just absolutely crushed it. | |
| And our show at 11 o'clock crushed everybody. | |
| And it's just, you know, I'm very grateful, first of all, I need to say that to this audience. | |
| And it just, but you can't get to the final number. | |
| I mean, I'm I'm guessing estimating with all of the unmeasured platforms that you're probably at what, 75, 80 million people? | |
| I mean, that is insane. | |
| And it's just unfortunate that things have gotten a little bit more complicated because media has changed so much, the landscape has changed so much over the years that you can't get the full and complete number. | |
| Um I making sense or is this getting too deep in the weeds? | |
| I mean, I definitely think you're doing some gardening right now, but it's interesting. | |
| I'm doing some gardening right now. | |
| A little bit of weeding going on, just a little bit. | |
| All right. | |
| When I lived in New York, I think for the last three or four summers, I tried to grow corn in my garden. | |
| I really did. | |
| I tried my hardest. | |
| And corn is my favorite thing. | |
| I love fresh corn. | |
| I love to pick fresh corn. | |
| And either it was eaten by by deer, or it just died on the vine. | |
| And I couldn't successfully grow the corn. | |
| I got tomatoes, I got cucumbers, I got bell peppers, I got basil, I love pesto. | |
| I got a lot of great things, but I never got my corn. | |
| Very frustrating. | |
| Anyway, I digress. | |
| If you are a homeowner, you gotta protect your home's title because that is for most people the biggest asset. | |
| And as you may know, uh, look, house stealing has become a big deal. | |
| You have these criminals all around the world targeting American homeowners, and if you don't have somebody looking out for your home's title, well, they'll steal your home right from underneath you, and they'll take out loans in your name, or they'll sell your home from underneath you. | |
| That happened to a family in Sarasota, but thankfully they had home title lock.com, and they were able to catch this cyber thief out of New York trying to sell their property on a popular real estate website. | |
| The thief had fraudulently changed the title, Home Titolock.com detected it. | |
| They work with the homeowner, they put the title back in their name. | |
| Otherwise, it would have been an Adam Schiff show. | |
| It would have been a disaster. | |
| It's almost impossible to get this back in your name without spending a fortune. | |
| Anyway, you can protect your biggest investment, you can protect your home from this horrible crime with triple lock protection from Hometitolock.com. | |
| Go to that website, hometital.com, use the promo code Sean S-E-A-N. | |
| They will send you a complete title scan of your home's title. | |
| And the first 30 days of triple lock home title protection is free. | |
| Home titolock.com. | |

| Uh do we have any of Joe Biden in North Carolina today? | |
| Is as President Trump now is in uh Virginia is in Chesapeake, Virginia. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Um because this is interesting to me. | |
| Because what I think one of the things that the Biden campaign had to struggle with is the fact that it was so obvious that he was so jacked up at the State of the Union that everybody was calling him out on it leading up to this debate. | |
| And we even did a poll on Hannity.com and like 93% of you or 94% of you. | |
| I believe that we'd probably see jacked up Joe. | |
| I thought, well, they've done this before in big moments. | |
| They hide him for a week to ten days, and then he shows up after sleeping a whole bunch and and getting his Western wee waxation in. | |
| And of course, you know, they they sent him to the State of the Union address and he screamed it and he worked through it. | |
| And he said, We're going to do this. | |
| And he just, you know, went a thousand miles a minute. | |
| We'd never seen that Joe Biden before. | |
| We haven't seen it since. | |
| Until today, because last night was a disaster. | |
| Here's him in North Carolina today. | |
| because I intend to win this state in November. | |
| Are you going to see that? | |
| Thank you. | |
| I think we are. | |
| We win here, we win the election. | |
| That's how we're going to do it. | |
| We're going to restore Roe v. | |
| Wade as the law of the land. | |
| We're going to stand up for the right to vote. | |
| Stand up for Medicare and Social Security. | |
| We're going to fight for child care, paid leave in Elder Care. | |
| We're going to keep glowing the cost of prescription dogs, not just for seniors, but for every single American. | |
| We're going to keep protecting the Affordable Care Act. | |
| Which is why more than 40 million Americans have health insurance today. | |
| We're going to protect our children and get the weapons of war off our streets. | |
| We're going to provide clean drinking water, affordable high speed internet, quality education for every child in America. | |
| We're going to secure our border and protect legal immigration. | |
| All right, I can't take it anymore. | |
| Enough of that. | |
| There's only so much I can take. | |
| But I'm, you know, I was watching the debate last night, and it was pretty amazing to me. | |
| And I don't want to minimize the great job that President Trump did last night, because he came in and as I knew would happen, they want had their trick questions. | |
| It just wasn't as bad. | |
| I mean, by exposing fake news CNN and the bias that fake Jake Tapper had and Dana Bash had, uh, they knew that they were under heavy, heavy scrutiny. | |
| And I'm telling you, there's a lot of pressure on them that they they had to run a straight debate because everybody knew that they had been exposed as liberal talk show hosts that hate Donald Trump, and that they would be exposed further if they did this, and it could have been career-ending. | |
| And a lot of people in television and and I could tell you I know this for a fact, you know, self-preservation is the the the most important thing to the all of them. | |
| You know, I I took notes last night while it was going on. | |
| First thing is he came out and he's he's just started speaking. | |
| Now, how odd is it that they didn't say till 20 minutes and oh he's got a cold. | |
| That's why he's got a he's got a cold. | |
| Really? | |
| You couldn't have told us ahead of time. | |
| You waited twenty minutes. | |
| You could but you waited twenty long minutes. | |
| So that was the first thing. | |
| And he when he was walking out, he had that that horrible walk of his where he's just you know, just yeah, okay, I'm tired. | |
| Let me see if I can get to the podium. | |
| Let me see if I can make it. | |
| And I'm like, wow. | |
| I thought I knew right then and there, I said this is gonna get interesting. | |
| Because I didn't know which Joe was gonna show up. | |
| This is the biggest train wreck of a debate I've ever seen for any candidate ever. | |
| And then he started out with the speedy talk and he was spoken about. | |
| So it was obvious, I don't know. | |
| He definitely had some Red Bull in There or something. | |
| And then I'm looking at him, and he looked terrible. | |
| He just looked horrible. | |
| You know, one of the things, if you go back historically at the Nixon Kennedy debate, if you were listening to that debate on radio, you thought that Richard Nixon won that debate hands down. | |
| But if you were watching Richard Nixon debate a very young, youthful John Kennedy on television, you saw Well Kennedy had makeup on. | |
| Richard Nixon did not, and he was sweating on top of it. | |
| And people watching at home thought he looked like crap. | |
| And it was widely determined by the viewing audience very differently than the listening audience that Kennedy won that debate hands down. | |
| Isn't that amazing? | |
| And he see then I thought, okay, he's rigid, he's stiff. | |
| He's he clearly was overrehears because they're trying to remember everything, and that's why I'm gonna say it so fast so I can remember it. | |
| And then the cognitive deficient Joe kicked in. | |
| Then all of a sudden he kept losing his trend of thought. | |
| And he started to struggle. | |
| Then the cognitively impaired, dazed and confused Joe showed up. | |
| Then the mumbling, bumbling, stumbling Joe showed up. | |
| He had a full week of preparation time for this. | |
| The worst part though, and I'm gonna show you this again on TV tonight, is the stare when they'd have a split screen, and Joe Biden was like staring. | |
| This very empty vessel stare of his vacant stare, and at times incoherent. | |
| It was painful. | |
| But it's also scary that everybody's known about this. | |
| Our enemies know about it. | |
| Our top geopolitical foes know about it. | |
| Terrorists around the world know about it. | |
| And they see a president of the United States of America, this pathetically compromised. | |
| He's compromised physically. | |
| He's got no stamina, and he's a complete cognitive mess. | |
| But again, it was a cheap fake video. | |
| If you pointed out Barack Obama, you know, grabbing his hand, putting his arm around him, and walking him off the stage. | |
| Or it was a cheap fake video that when he was at the G7 and you showed the full unedited, unedited, unaltered video of him walking away, wandering off, and having to be brought back in by the Italian prime minister, or when he can't exit stage left or stage right, or when he says all those words, blah, and nobody wanted to pay attention to it. | |
| The media had been, they'd not been in a state of denial. | |
| They've been in a state of cover-up. | |
| And the reason the cover-up only worked is because they never showed these videos. | |
| You want to know why late-night comics ratings suck? | |
| Because this is the greatest material in the history of late-night comedy. | |
| And the only one that uses it is Greg Gutfeld. | |
| And that's why Gutfeld's show is kicking the ass of Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon. | |
| There's a reason for all of this. | |
| You had a corpse. | |
| You know, when we're going to bring down the price around the kitchen table, that's what we're gonna get done. | |
| You know, and then he's talking about the idea that she was murdered, talking about an illegal immigrant, the idea she was murdered by an immigrant. | |
| Here's the deal. | |
| A lot of young women are being raped by their in-laws, by their spouses, by their brothers and sisters. | |
| Huh? | |
| Your open borders has caused innocent people to be raped and murdered. | |
| You want to talk about compare that to people and incest? | |
| Wow, where did that come from? | |
| Or the fact that he lied and said that not a single person was killed when when he was president, they were still killing people in Afghanistan. | |
| And the truth is I'm the only president this century that doesn't have any of this. | |
| Did you really forget that, Joe? | |
| And then you've got the media mob, the Nicholas Christoph. | |
| I wish Biden would reflect on his debate performance and announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democrats. | |
| Then it's every other Democrat in between. | |
