ho makes over 400,000 a year as well. So he's running for president on raising taxes. He's not good at explaining how economies work, because if you raise taxes on the billionaires, well they're going to find some other country probably. They should. All right, he says no billionaire should pay a lower tax rate than a teacher, a sanitation worker, or a nurse. What if I told you when people use the…

Two thirds of Democrats think the guy who's going to be probably the next president, or at least if the election's not rigged, and that he should be banned from the major political platform. It's almost amazing. Now Biden is running to restore freedom and democracy. What freedom is he restoring? He's putting people in jail for free speech. They want to ban free speech on the platform. The only freedom that Republicans are trying to take away is reproductive options for ending a pregnancy. Well actually reproductive options including IVF. So the only thing that Republicans want to do is limit what women can do with their own bodies. So Republicans have no argument about freedom. Unfortunately now that's not my opinion. I'm saying politically speaking. Politically speaking Republicans have given up freedom as an issue. You really can't claim freedom. You really can't. You could try but it would just sound crazy.
Yeah, so I would say that both sides are trying to take your freedom away. They're just doing it in different ways. So the Republicans are definitely limiting what women would call their freedom, and it doesn't matter what you call it. I know you would call it saving a baby or not having something that God doesn't want. So you'd have a different framing on it, but it doesn't matter what your framing is. Yeah, I know that. Think it's banning murder. I get it. I'm not making any arguments about abortion. I'm saying that to the Democrats he has a completely credible argument that Republicans are the ones who want to ban your freedom. It's a good argument. No matter how much you hate it, it doesn't matter. No matter how much you say he's using the wrong words, you should call it we want to murder babies. Doesn't matter what you think. It's unrelated to whether it works. It works.
So his people think you're trying to take their freedom, and they even say you know what's next. If you can't do IVF, what's next? So they're telling their people that birth control will be banned next. How many of you would like to ban birth control? Ban birth control? How many of you? Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. I've seen not a single yes. But it's credible to their audience. Do you think Democrats think it's credible? Of course they do, because the IVF thing is just too far. Let me say it in a clear way. If Republicans are going to die on the IVF hill, they deserve to lose. You really deserve to lose. I mean if you're going to do something you just hand it to him. You deserve to lose. But the other team deserves to lose too because they're running Biden. Who runs Biden? If they think they should try to earn the election. So it's like both sides are trying to lose.
What is Trump's take on IVF? Trump is pro IVF, right? Oh, so that probably protects him. Yeah, yeah, Trump is pro IVF and I think the Republicans should take a note from that.
All right, so here is how the Democrats are taking your freedom. They're stealing elections allegedly. Now remember this is just the framing that the opposing party would put on it. So they'd say he's stealing the election. He's jailing people for their free speech. He's limiting it on the, or at least the government is limiting that on the platforms. Free speech. We know that from the Twitter files. And the open borders are sort of taking away your freedom to be safe in your own country. Now that's not an explicit freedom but we had it before. Yeah, we had it before. So I think the Republicans could probably say more about the Democrats taking your freedom. They're taking your money. Yeah.
All right, so Jerry Nadler came up to Biden afterwards and said nobody's going to talk about cognitive impairment. Now Jerry, you were just talking about cognitive impairment as you were saying nobody's going to talk about cognitive impairment. You can't say nobody's going to talk about cognitive impairment when you're talking about it. In other words it was at the top of his mind and that was basically saying well it's the first thing I was thinking about but you limped through.
Here's what Paul Krugman said. Paul Krugman, sort of the economic wing of the turd caucus. The turd caucus are the Democrats who are willing to say the most absurd lies that even other people who agree with them on most stuff would never say in public. So here's what Paul Krugman says. I thought the whole Biden is too old thing was kind of a bubble in the sense that people were buying it mainly because other people were buying it. Did Biden just burst that bubble? Well I don't think we saw something that tells us the big picture just because they drugged him up for one hour. You tell me what drugs were in his system and I'll tell you if I'm concerned about his dementia at his age. No, I think everybody who thought he was too old saw an old man yelling at a teleprompter and it didn't look good. And everybody who's trying to pretend he

's not too old saw him in command and full of energy and seizing the moment and winning the day. So let's not pretend any of this is objective. Well as Adam Townshend said, and ex state senator Katie Britt is some kind of a rising GOP star. So she did the rebuttal. I would like to give you my impression of listening to Katie Britt give the rebuttal. Click. Let's see what the rebuttal looks like.…
