ou ever tried Googling that to see if that actually really happened? Never happened. It's one of the most pervasive beliefs on the right. Never happened. Nope, didn't happen. I'll tell you what did happen that people think happened. What he did say is in the future you might have things delivered to you by drone that you would rent. That you would have things delivered by drone that you would ren…

d that was during the fog of war when Trump probably didn't know exactly what was going on because nobody did. So that's one story, that Trump was too slow. Now nobody's saying that he did the wrong thing when he acted, because he did tell people to be non-violent. But the complaint is it took too long. All right, so that's one story. Trump took too long — minutes, actually — too long.

Second story, which we're going to pretend is unrelated to the first, is that insiders are complaining that in the Biden administration, Biden is putting off important decisions for as long as a year. So Trump can't be president, the Democrats say, because in the fog of war it took him 178 minutes to act. And two of the major publications that dominate the Democrat world, the Washington Post and the New York Times, have both debunked this. But still that's the claim, that he waited too long to act. Minutes. Minutes, I say. He waited minutes to act. Meanwhile Joe Biden puts off important decisions for up to a year, and nobody knows why. And they're really bad about it. Well, I'll tell you why. He's not capable. Is there another reason? He's not capable.

Now here's a little mental experiment for you. Imagine if Joe Biden had been in charge when something like January 6 happened — you know, not January 6 but something like it. Can you picture him in charge and making quick decisions when he puts off normal decisions for a year? He's clearly not all there. And it's a fog of war and people are telling him competing things. But just put that in your mind. It doesn't go well. Doesn't go well.

Have you seen the back-to-back videos of Biden speaking twice in one day and how he looks like a completely different person? One of them looks like, oh, he's okay. I mean, we keep making fun of him for being old, but he's doing a good job. He's reading that prompter. Looks like he's present. He's in the moment. And then you see the video from the same day and he's deranged. His eyes are bugged and he sounds like off. It's the same day. All right, you can't have a president who's not even the same in the morning as the night. Does anybody understand what kind of a danger that puts us in? That the president isn't even the same person in the beginning of the day as the end of the day. At the end of the day he looks sort of agitated and not quite himself. Does he? Is that the guy you want making some world important decisions? It does. Yeah, I don't know if it's a sundowner problem and I don't know if it's that he did or did not get some meds, but Joe Biden is not one person anymore. He's two people. I don't know which one's going to be making the decision.

If you told me that the first Joe Biden, the one in the video where he looks fairly put together — if you told me he was making a decision, I'd say, well, I might not like the decision, but he looks like a guy who could make a decision, right? He looks like he's at least all there. By the afternoon he clearly wasn't all there. I mean, humans can tell. You can tell if somebody's not all there. I mean, that's not that hard. That's not a high bar. You know, you don't have to go to a lot of medical school to know when somebody's just not all there. That's not a high bar. He's not all there.

He also we all stand, right? So it's time for President Harris. I think Republicans should just stop acting like he's in charge. Just stop pretending and say we don't know who's in charge, but we need to have an investigation to find out. Imagine if you would the Republicans launched an investigation to find out who's making the decisions for Biden. Wouldn't you like to know? Because I'm pretty sure I don't know now. Yeah, it'd be interesting, wouldn't it? We've never had to do this before. You always suspect somebody's making decisions for somebody else, but this time you'd really have to. You kind of have to wonder.

Because remember when people thought Cheney was making decisions for Bush Jr.? That matters. Do you remember when people thought Nancy Reagan's astrologer was influencing Ronald Reagan? That matters. That does matter. That's not irrelevant. Not irrelevant. Yeah. So yeah, let's look into that. Find out who's in charge. But as much as I dislike Kamala Harris's abilities, she's at least sane. She's at least the same in the morning as she is in the afternoon. Whether you like it or not, I think it's time for Harris to take over. And by the way, I don't even — well, maybe I am. I'm biased, so I don't think this is a political statement because I'm saying replace him with somebody that's worse. Worse in terms of more Democrat than the Democrat. So I would be willing to take somebody who's worse on policy and worse in a lot of ways just to know she's there. You know, just to know she's all there. Because the alternative is just scary. It seems random. You don't know what he's going to order. Angry Joe.

So I think even Republicans should be calling for Harris to take over. And if I were them, I'd start taking meetings with Harris and skip Biden, because you don't know who's in charge, right? If you don't know who's in charge and you want to get something done, are you going to take a meeting with Biden? I wouldn't. I just say we're going to meet with Harris because we don't think Biden's capable. Imagine if the Republicans said from here forward we're not going to take any meetings with Biden because we don't think he's mentally capable. So we'll take all of our meetings with the vice president if she'll have us. I mean, obviously she would immediately say I won't take those meetings, but you should say we want to meet with them as soon as possible, but we like to be with Harris because we don't think that Biden's in control anymore. I mean, it would be a political thing to do, but it would be interesting.

Well, the Washington Post is saying that the Justice Department is investigating Donald Trump's actions as part of his criminal probe of efforts to overturn the 2020 elections. Blah blah. Have you figured out by now that the Democrat plan is to keep Trump permanently under investigation for one thing or another that didn't happen? It's pretty clear that their plan is to keep him criminally probed forever without ever finding anything. Because if there was anything, I don't know if there's ever been a better vetted president in our life. This would be the one guy I wouldn't be worried about finding out with something after he became president. You worry about that with every president, don't you? What happens if this president gets in office and a minute later we find out something we wish we had known? How in the world could there be anything about Trump we don't know at this point? I mean, that we could find out that maybe could happen.

All right, have I ever told you before that the Democrats are really the woman party? The woman party. Now you think of them as the party of LGBTQ and the party of Black Americans and more inclusiveness and of course women

. But you don't think that is the lead necessarily. But in my opinion the women are running the Democrat party, and they've started to paint the Republicans as men. So here's a tweet from — let's see, who is this? Midas Touch. So this is a Democrat group that tweets and does other stuff. And they're saying that Republicans — they're characterizing Republicans this way as quote, we're going to mak…
