All right. There's a Democrat named Jeff Van Drew who said he hasn't seen anything impeachable yet about President Trump or any of the Ukraine stuff. Now what does it mean when there's at least one Democrat who says, I'm looking at the same stuff you're looking at, I don't see anything? What does that mean? It means it's not there. If you have a situation where everybody's looking at the same thin…
← Previous segment →All right. Is there anything else happening? I mean all we're talking about is... Oh, Joe Biden made another hilarious persuasion mistake today. So I guess it was National Dog Day, and Joe Biden does a picture of himself sitting on a bench with a wall behind him. So it's an indoor bench but it looks like an outdoor bench, but somewhere indoors with a wall behind him. And he's got sort of a German Shepherd-looking dog in front of him. And he's saying it's National Dog Day and that President Trump didn't say anything about National Cat Day or National Dog Day. And that should tell you something about Trump. At the same time, President Trump's pinned tweet, the most important tweet, is the hero dog. The president's talked more about dogs in the last 24 hours than he's talked about people. And Joe Biden is like, he didn't say anything about National Dog Day. Do you know how important National Dog Day is to the fate of the Republic? Not a lot. Not a lot.
But anyway, here's the funny part. So Biden does this photo with the dog that reminds us, because that is fresh in our head, the dog reminds us of the hero dog. Now you might say to yourself, hey, that was intentional. He got a hero dog to gain from the association. But what it looks like to me is that the hero dog chased Biden to a dead end and wondered why his suicide vest never went off. So when I look at it, I don't think to myself... I just got a message from Representative Gaetz's staff. They have some Wi-Fi problems on their end. But you know if you're listening to me now, probably not you. Probably would have to do something else, but the Wi-Fi is probably not the problem. It might be the platform. We don't know.
Anyway, Biden does a picture where it looks like he looks like al-Baghdadi who's just been trapped by the hero dog. And I'm thinking to myself, the poor guy has no advisors who have any idea about how to do visual persuasion. They don't understand the internet. They don't even understand the orientation to hold your camera when you're taking a video. Try this, not this. So watching Biden decompose right in front of us. At first, you know if you've been watching my Periscopes, you know that at first I was, let's go easy on Biden. There's clearly age has gotten the better of him, and we don't want to dunk on somebody who's really served their country, and we should give him a respectful final phase. But the longer he stays in the race, I don't know, you can't not treat him like a target because a President Biden would be one of the worst things that ever happened to this country. Not because of his politics but because I don't think he's mentally up to the job. And I think that's obvious to most people now. So he'll run out of money soon.
I want to emphasize a suggestion I heard from Greg Gutfeld on The Five yesterday, I think it was. Greg suggested that maybe President Trump adopt a dog and it should be the hero dog. Is that the best idea you've ever heard? Seriously, have you ever heard an idea that was better than President adopting the hero dog as the White House dog? Now I don't know if it's possible and I don't even know if it's safe because I don't know what the deal is with military dogs. Are they always safe? They must be safe enough because they do later get retired to civilian homes. But I don't know enough about that situation to be sure. But think of the optics. Think of the optics of President Trump adopting the hero dog. And wait, there's a better part. I haven't even told you the best part. Because it would give the hero dog permanent security. The way to protect the hero dog is to make sure that the hero dog has Secret Service protection because he's part of the White House. How much would you love knowing that nobody could ever get to the hero dog and hurt it because it's now part of the White House and can never be harmed because there's just a ring of Secret Service? Because even after the president leaves office, whenever that is, he still gets Secret Service protection, which means that the hero dog would have Secret Service protection.
And it gets better. I haven't even gotten to the best part yet. Imagine the movie in which somebody attacks the White House and the hero dog saves the president. Now I don't think anybody's going to attack the White House in such a way that the hero dog would need to solve it. It would need to jump into action. But if you were ever going to write a movie, there was a popular movie: Hero Dog in the White House. I'm sorry, it's a movie. It's a perfect movie. The hero dog retires to the White House, hopes to live out its days in peace, but the terrorists attack and the humans can't handle it. It's all left to the hero dog, the only one who can save the president. And he does. What a movie. Best movie ever.
