here's some people who were saying well it was just standard procedure. They just say that all the time. And there are other people, Mike Cernovich, Dan Bongino for example, who say no you idiots that is not standard procedure. Now how could it be standard procedure but also not a standard procedure? Well it turns out it can be. And Bongino gets to the heart of it by asking this question. If you…

other people too. So plenty of Asians, plenty of Blacks, plenty of Hispanics.

Hey AOC seemed to be flipping out because remember I told you the Andre Agassi strategy where you don't go after your opponent's weakest shot you go after their strongest shot. Because if you get lucky and you can make them lose their confidence in their strongest shot they're dead. So you basically can decapitate somebody in the first set just by making sure they lose their confidence in their best play.

So the best play that the Democrats have is that the deepest bluest states absolutely cannot stand any Trump anything. So he went into the deepest bluest place and blew their doors off. He Andre Agassi'd them. You could see the panic in AOC's complaints about him going there. Why would you even complain about it? Like why would that even be a conversation that somebody running for president would visit a highly populated area in America and make his case?

So Biden gave a press conference, very rare apparently. He had all the people he was going to call on on a card. He gave them only one question apiece because that's the one he was prepared for. And then he read his response as it appears from a card. In other words it wasn't a press conference at all. It was a Q&A with written questions and written answers. He just stood in public and did it. Do you think he would have had to do that a year ago? A year ago he might have been able to bluff his way through although they were hiding him a year ago but I think he could have gotten through it. Tod

ay he is clearly not capable of handling a question that's not written in front of him with the answer. That's completely different in one year. What's he going to be by November? By November I don't even think there'll be a choice. It could be a really one person and one person who's just not even going to be alive in a few months. So could Trump win New York? I'm going to say yes. I'm going to…
