it's clear that Biden himself does not want to leave, it seems clear that Jill is on that same page, and they don't have the physical power to force him out. But they really, really — they meaning Democrats, the leadership — really, really need him to leave. What are you going to do? Well, now we know. Let me tell you what they're going to do. And it's embarrassing, and it's just icky. They can't talk him into leaving, and they can't leave him there. What are they going to do? They can't leave him the way it is, and they can't talk him into leaving. What does that leave? Murder? Now I'm not predicting that because it'd be too obvious. So I think murder is off the table. So you can't kill him, can't get him to leave on his own, can't force him out. What's left? You can figure this one out yourself. I'm going to give you one more clue, okay?

That Kirby said in front of the public that this presser would be quote "a big boy press conference." A big boy press. Do you see it yet? And then George Clooney says, yeah, he's gone. And now we hear that Obama agreed with Clooney that he had no objection. Do you see it yet? He's going to embarrass him out of office. Do you think that they would have this press conference if they were trying to protect him? Nope. Because we know that he doesn't have to give a press conference. He went years barely doing any of it. If they wanted to protect him, they wouldn't do it. The Democrats have decided, very clearly I would say it's obvious at this point, that they're trying to embarrass him out of office by making him perform and making him fail in front of you. So you're watching the Democrats slowly torture their own beloved candidate because they need to win more than they need anything, and there's nothing they won't do to get it. If they could kill him, I think they would. I think the only thing that stops them is they would get caught. I don't think anything else would stop them from killing him, honestly.

So if you want to know how loyal the Democrats are to their own people and to their constituency, look at this. Seems pretty definitive to me. I would argue also, as somebody else pointed out, that maybe the reason that Biden is hanging tough is that they won't have an income. Imagine trying to take care of Biden on no income. That's sort of where they're heading. No source of income and having to take care of a dementia patient with security needs and all kinds of special needs. They need the money.

So here's what I think Hunter is doing. I think Hunter is brought in for the one thing that Jill probably isn't good at: negotiating. I think Hunter is a negotiator. I think Hunter is trying to work on a deal where the family will make a fortune, and then he'll talk his father into leaving. I will guarantee you somehow Hunter is going to come out ahead of this because he's got all the leverage. Hunter is the most powerful person in the country right now, because if he says that offer is good enough, I will talk to my father, it's going to happen. If Hunter goes to his father and says, look, you're probably going to end up dropping out anyway, your health is failing, but if you were to leave now, you could retain some dignity, and I can get $200 million out of them because they're going to give me a piece of some action. It's not written down, but I've got a commitment. You know they're going to make something happen for us that wouldn't have happened otherwise. So for the legacy of the family, the good of the family, and your own health care, I'm going to take the $200 million. All you have to do is bow out gracefully. That's what they're waiting for. I guarantee it. Will it happen? Probably not. Probably not. I think that I'm still going to bet that Biden stays into election day, and that the Democrats start saying, well, but you know, you're really voting for Kamala. We didn't have time to do all the paperwork and get on the ballots with a different name, and we were just pressed for time. And so you're just really voting for Kamala. That's my prediction.

All right. If there's anybody new here who's never been in my livestream, you probably couldn't conceive of how smart the audience is. Normally you probably have no idea how smart this audience is. I'm going to give you a demonstration of how smart the audience is. Give me the answer before I ask the question. Go. Give me the answer before you know what the topic is. Go. Correct answer. Yep, there's a whole stream of correct answers. That's how smart they are.

The correct answer is 25%. I haven't even asked the question. Here's the question. According to a Rasmussen poll, what percent of voters are very confident that Biden is physically and mentally up to the job of being president of the United States? It's actually 26%, but I feel like Rasmussen got it wrong by one. I feel like I trust you more. So I'm going to say we'll round it to 25%, you know, because Rasmussen is very accurate. But let's be honest, they're not nearly as accurate as you are guessing the answer before I ask the question, because you get that every time. So this is called science.

Well, PJ Media is writing about this whole Kamala Harris conundrum and referred to a made a Dilbert reference in this. Let's see what they call it. Sort of a Dilbert-like track. And oh, here, let me read the exact quote: "History will likely show that the smartest decision Joe Biden ever made was selecting Kamala Harris as VP. It's not a PR trick but a Dilbert-era middle management trick. If you don't want to be replaced, make sure your subordinates suck more than you do."

Now that's literally been a Dilbert comic joke. It's a recurring one. In fact, I've got one coming up that has that theme as well. So yes, I've often told you that what I call the Dilbert filter, which is how do big organizations work in the real world, that's the Dilbert filter. In the real world they pursue DEI. In the real world leaders do in fact make sure that their subordinates are not as good as them. That's a real thing. I mean literally a real thing. And when they do those two things and then they find out that the leader has to leave, they are trapped by their own DEI situation. So it's exactly a Dilbert situation, and it's one that's been in the comic and will be again. So now they're boxed in. There's nothing they can do. That's why I think it's Kamala or bust. And there's no real reason to elevate her to the top of the ticket. It makes more sense just to leave it the way it is and let people vote the way it is.

All right. I saw Senator Kennedy do the most useful thing I've seen a senator do in a long time, probably because Thomas Massie, you know, and Congress is not terribly functional. But at least Senator Kennedy is. Here's what he did. He brought
