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…
← Previous segment →s saying very clearly and consistently we're all Americans we can pull together and one who says we're better off divided because that's kind of what he's saying. Biden anyway.
Here's something Biden said in a post. He says Donald Trump and his MAGA Republican allies don't care about securing the border or fixing America's broken immigration system. If they did they would have supported the toughest border enforcement in history. So it was a bill that just got turned down by mostly Republicans. Instead they put partisan politics ahead of our national security.
So here's my question. First of all you can see that he's dividing the country by referring to MAGA Republican allies. Now he's specifically talking about the elected politicians but how do you hear it? I don't hear it that way. I hear that he is just saying if you're a MAGA Republican he wants to piss on your head. That's what I hear. Do you hear it differently? I think he's insulting the citizens at the same time he's insulting the people they voted for, the so-called MAGA allies. So that's his usual piece of divisive, terrible president framing that they are bad people and there are good people and he's the good people I guess.
Do you think that the Democrats are catching on? This obviously was a fake border bill that had poison pills in it. Do you think that the Democrats haven't figured out that it's all theater and do they really think that the Republicans looked at a perfectly good border bill and said we're going to turn this down for the good of getting elected? I'm not saying they wouldn't but it's not what happened. They didn't really have a chance to look at a good border bill.
I think it's strange that the president's name is Biden at the same time we're all wondering the same question on Election Day: will he still be alive by then? What are the odds that his name would be Biden when all we're waiting for is if he's still going to be alive by then? That's a weird coincidence.
All right. Biden also posted or somebody did for him: Trump is not running to lead America. He's running for revenge. But you can't build a future on revenge. I'm running to lead America into the future. What future is that? The one where you live for another four months and then we bury you? Well what exact future are you talking about old man who can't even do a press conference? You're not part of our future. You're just not in any way our future. But okay.
But here's my bigger complaint. He says Trump is not running to lead America. He's running for revenge. Revenge is what I want. Revenge is called the justice system. Do you think the justice system was set up for fairness? No. Do you think the justice system was set up to rehabilitate people? No. It's revenge. That's what it does. And the risk of revenge is the only thing that keeps society together. Why do you not do bad things if you're a good person? Why do you not do bad things? Because we're going to get revenge on you. We're going to put you in jail. If you don't want to call that revenge fine. You can call it a flower. You can put a different word on it but the justice system is very much about revenge and that's what makes it work.
And you know what? Revenge is the animating part of it. The part of the reason that Trump has so m

uch support is that you put 2,000 people in jail for political reasons. You're trying to jail the president for political reasons and Peter Navarro is still in jail. So revenge is going to be at the top of the menu. Revenge is at the top of the menu and it belongs there because that's what justice looks like. Justice looks like honest revenge. Who else needs to talk about let's not have revenge?…
