Trump rips Harris in leaked video, Joe Biden won't schedule events after 8pm

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.839
Calaroga Shark Media from our beach house, where we aren't scheduling anything after eight

2
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.880
pm. This is ballot. Well, I guess politics doesn't care about holiday

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.120
weekends. There's a lot to get
to today, so let's hit this.

4
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.879
In what can only be described as
peak Trump, a surreptitiously filmed video of

5
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:28.359
the former president was leaked courtesy of
The Daily Beast. The seventy eight year

6
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.479
old ex commander in chief lounging in
a golf cart holding a pile of cash

7
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.960
like he's auditioning for a reality show, and with son Baron in tow,

8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.719
decided to grace us with his unfiltered
thoughts on the twenty twenty four presidential campaign.

9
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.240
How did I do with the debate
the other night? Trump asked some

10
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:48.000
off camera buddies before launching into a
prediction that Biden is about to throw in

11
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:51.759
the towel. He just quit.
You know, he's quitting the race.

12
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.920
Trump said, I got him out
of the and that means we have kamala

13
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.719
ah. Yes, because in Trump's
world, everything is a direct result of

14
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.680
his genius. The White House and
most Democrats are sticking to their script that

15
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.319
Biden is the nominee, even though
voter polls are giving Trump a six point

16
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.640
lead. Vice President Kamala Harris is
lurking in the wings, ready to step

17
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.280
up if Biden steps down. Trump
Ever, the Gentleman had this to say

18
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.200
about her, I think she's going
to be better as an opponent, before

19
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:26.120
adding she's so bad, She's so
pathetic, and of course couldn't resist.

20
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.000
She's so effing bad. The Biden
Harris campaign clapped back at the video,

21
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:34.560
labeling it as a new rock bottom
for Trump, which is quite the achievement

22
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:40.159
considering his previous lows. The timing
of the video league couldn't be more perfect

23
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:44.040
for the Trump campaign, who just
released their first attack ads against Harris,

24
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.200
the likely heir apparent if Biden decides
to bow out. That's not even today's

25
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.200
craziest story. And again, I
will remind you yesterday was a full on

26
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:59.519
holiday. In a revelation that screams
senior discount at Denny's, President Biden told

27
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:02.280
Democrats at Governor's during a private White
House meeting that he needs to be in

28
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:07.439
bed earlier. That's right, folks, the leader of the free world has

29
00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:12.000
decreed that his staff should avoid scheduling
any events for him after eight pm.

30
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.319
It's like he's turned the Oval Office
into a retirement home where the lights go

31
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.639
out before Primetime TV even starts.
This bombshell came after Governor Josh Green of

32
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:25.120
Hawaii, who apparently doubles as a
part time er doc, inquired about Biden's

33
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:30.400
physical condition. Biden, never wanted
to shy away from awkward humor, assured

34
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:35.159
everyone he had a check up and
is in fine health. It's just my

35
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.800
brain, he equipped, a line
that undoubtedly sent his PR team scrambling for

36
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.960
the advil. The need for more
sleep is Biden's latest excuse for his disastrous

37
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.439
debate performance, where he stumbled over
words like a college freshman at their first

38
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.240
keger. He blamed his poor showing
on everything from jet lag to a head

39
00:02:53.240 --> 00:03:00.479
full of statistics and not listening to
his staff. Meanwhile, Democratic doing their

40
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.800
best to put a positive spin on
this debacle, but even they seem a

41
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:07.879
bit worried. Governor Michelle Leujen Grisham
of New Mexico and Governor Janet Mills of

42
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:13.319
Maine gently suggested that maybe, just
maybe Biden might want to step up his

43
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.080
game if he hopes to win their
states again. But Biden. Ever,

44
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:21.840
the Optimist took to the radio to
downplay his epic flop, insisting I had

45
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.000
a bad night. I screwed up. I made a mistake. The President

46
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.960
is now officially on a curfew,
his debate performances might need a pre show

47
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.159
nap, and we're all left wondering
if he can stay awake long enough to

48
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:38.800
make it through the campaign. Kevin
Munos, a Biden campaign spokesperson, was

49
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.960
quick to point out that other presidents
had reasonable bedtimes too. President Bush went

50
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.800
to bed at nine and President Obama
made dinner at six thirty, he said,

51
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:53.800
implying that Biden's eight pm curfew is
perfectly normal. Munyos didn't miss the

52
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.680
chance to take a swipe at Trump, highlighting that the former president spends his

53
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.960
days golfing or ranting on truth social
about plans that would tank the economy.

54
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.439
Because clearly, a balanced schedule is
all about avoiding social media tie raids and

55
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.599
sticking to an early bedtime. So
here we are, America. Your president

56
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:17.160
is aiming for more sleep and fewer
late night gaffes. Sweet dreams. Joe,

57
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.759
Joe not only killed my fourth now
he's killing my Friday night. The

58
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:28.720
ABC News interview with President Joe Biden
will now air in its entirety as a

59
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.560
primetime special tonight at eight Eastern and
at eight Pacific, which means he won't

60
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.839
be able to stay up to watch
his own interview. George Stephanopoulos, the

61
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:42.040
go to interviewer for presidents and crisis, will chat with Biden on the campaign

62
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.519
trail earlier in the day. ABC
News also promises a transcript of the unedited

63
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:51.600
interview will be available on Friday,
because, of course, nothing says transparency

64
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:57.560
like a document ensuring every stumble and
mumble is forever etched in history. Originally,

65
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:01.839
ABC had planned a piecemeal approach,
airing parts of Stephanopoulos's interview on World

66
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.959
News Tonight with David Muir at six
point thirty pm ET on Friday, with

67
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:12.720
an extended cut on Sundays this Week
with George Stephanopolis. But given Biden's recent

68
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:16.360
debate performance, where he struggled to
complete sentences and often looked more lost than

69
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:21.439
a tourist in Times Square, ABC
likely decided a primetime special might help salvage

70
00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:27.079
the situation. Hey, at least
it's good for downloads. Will there be

71
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.759
an episode of Ballot tomorrow? There? Sure? Will and it will be

72
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.360
created with the help of Ai,
like this episode was, See you in

73
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:33.800
the Morning,
