all denouncing his fellow Americans or

00:26

putting his political opponents in

00:27

prison as he has done and that was all

on display tonight that was possibly the

00:32

darkest most unamerican speech ever

00:34

given by an American president in fact

00:37

it wasn't a speech it was a rant

00:38

entirely lacking in decency or

00:41

generosity to his fellow Americans in

00:44

Joe Biden's very first sentence he

00:46

compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler he

00:48

did not describe Trump as the other Pary

01:12

paragraphs and paragraphs Biden quickly

01:15

explained that actually his top priority

01:16

has nothing to do with America his top

01:18

priority is sending billions more to

01:20

Ukraine a foreign war in Eastern Europe

01:24

a war across the world that has nothing

01:26

to do with the United States that the

01:32

a member of NATO a war that can only

01:35

hurt this country and already has hurt

01:37

it in grave and permanent ways the

01:40

invasion of Ukraine is the most

01:42

important thing to Joe Biden not ending

01:45

the invasion of our own country by drug

01:47

cartels which control huge swaths of the

01:50

Southern United States at this point not

01:52

a degrading economy you experience every

01:54

day not our collapsing schools schools

01:56

where kids can't read at all not the

01:59

100,000 in fenal deaths every year not

02:05

obvious if you look around collapsing

02:06

Public Health an epidemic of suicide and

02:08

murder things that hurt Americans ghost

02:11

armies of drug addicts living on the

02:12

streets right outside the chamber where

02:15

the speech was given tonight none of

02:18

that matters Biden's top priority is aid

02:21

for

02:22

Ukraine it was deranged you watch this

02:25

you thought this is insane does anyone

02:27

in the room think it's insane they must

02:31

here's how the Republican Speaker of the

02:33

House Mike Johnson of Louisiana newly

02:36

elected the man who leads Republicans in

02:39

fact the top elected Republican in the

02:41

United States of America here's how he

02:43

responded as Joe Biden told the country

02:46

that the invasion of Ukraine is his top

02:49

priority watch this overseas Putin of

02:53

Russia is on the March invading Ukraine

02:56

and sowing chaos throughout Europe and

02:58

Beyond if anybody in this room thinks

03:01

Putin will stop at Ukraine I assure you

03:04

he will

03:10

not but you

03:15

train Ukraine can stop

03:20

Putin Ukraine can stop Putin if we stand

03:24

with Ukraine and provide the

03:28

weapons that need to defend

03:33

itself my message to President Putin who

03:35

I've known for a long time is simple we

03:38

will not walk

03:47

away we will not bow

03:54

down I Will Not Bow

03:58

Down

04:01

this is crazy talk there's no

04:04

explanation of what the goal is here

04:07

there's lie after lie Ukraine can stop

04:09

Russia no it can't this has gone on for

04:12

over two years NATO was stronger than

04:14

ever no it's not NATO is on its way to

04:17

collapse as is the economy of Western

04:19

Europe for not one sentence did Joe

04:23

Biden explain what the goal of this

04:25

exercise is when we'll know we've

04:27

won and what the future should look like

04:31

again it was crazy

04:32

talk and yet Mike Johnson the Republican

04:36

Speaker of the House nodded Gravely oh

04:38

of course he is completely on board with

04:40

Joe Biden on this Biden's signature

04:42

issue and that's not a guess as of this

04:45

afternoon Mike Johnson is secretly

04:47

supporting Biden's agenda sending

04:48

another $60 billion do to the oligarchs

04:51

in Ukraine Johnson plans to let

04:54

Democrats onto the floor of the house to

04:55

vote for this this is a stealthy

04:58

procedural move designed to Shield him

04:59

and other Republicans from criticism oh

05:01

the Democrats did it but that's exactly

05:03

what it is he's the speaker of the house

05:04

he could stop it but he won't because

05:06

he's on board so why is he on board is

05:09

Mike Johnson representing his own voters

05:12

as he backs Joe Biden's signature agenda

05:16

item a war against Russia no he's not

05:19

Republican voters in Louisiana are not

05:21

for this Republican voters nationally

05:22

are not for this they hate this it has

05:24

nothing to do with them and it's

05:26

insulting as their country is invaded we

05:28

send billions to prevent the invasion of

05:30

another country that we have nothing to

05:32

do

05:33

with but the unit party demands this so

05:35

Mike Johnson is doing it and so at some

05:37

point you ask well why are they

05:38

demanding this actually why is war with

05:41

Russia the most important thing if you

05:45

look at the numbers or a map it wouldn't

05:46

be obvious that Russia would be

05:48

America's main enemy there are other

05:50

candidates could it be because Russia is

05:53

the largest white Christian country in

05:54

the world maybe could it be because

05:57

they're getting rich from warwolf that's

05:59

certainly true and there may be other

06:01

reasons as well we could guess but we

06:05

don't need to because we know that it's

06:08

happening and we know that war against

06:10

Russia is not the only War we're going

06:12

to be engaged in and not the only one

06:13

that Biden announced tonight Biden also

06:16

told the country that we're going to

06:17

have boots on the ground in Gaza really

06:19

or admitted it in fact American forces

06:21

have actually been there for months did

06:23

you know that did anyone ask you has

06:25

anyone explained to you no matter where

06:28

your sympathies lie what the point of

06:30

this is when we'll know we've won what's

06:32

the objective here American lives will

06:34

be at risk but of course no one's told

06:36

you and of course you already know the

06:39

point the point is to suck the United

06:40

States into another foreign war that

06:42

can't possibly help the United States a

06:44

war that can only hurt us and already is

06:46

hurting us and we're doing this not

06:48

because it helps us but because foreign

06:49

interests are demanding that we do it

06:51

America is being used as we so often

06:54

have been and the results of all of this

06:57

is that the world is now closer to nucle

06:59

nuclear war at this moment at any time

07:01

in history closer during than it was

07:03

during the Cuban Missile Crisis we have

07:05

no idea where this is going you never do

07:08

once people start to die once Wars begin

07:11

no PowerPoint can tell you no speech to

07:13

a joint session can tell you where this

07:16

is going it's Dynamic it's completely

07:19

unpredictable and that's why wise people

07:21

pause before accelerating but there are

07:24

no wise people in charge in either party

07:27

on either side you think Tony blinkin

07:28

the secretary state has any clue what

07:31

will happen in a war with Russia of

07:33

course not you can't say where this is

07:36

going this is so reckless that it

07:38

qualifies as suicidal and maybe they are

07:42

but the rest of us

07:43

aren't but the most interesting fact of

07:46

the speech was the

07:49

emphasis there was not a meaningful word

07:52

for the entire duration about the things

07:53

that actually matter to people who live

07:55

here like crime or inflation or fentel

07:57

or the foreign army now occupying Our

08:00

Country Joe Biden doesn't care there was

08:03

no upside for you in any of the things

08:06

that he said but he does have a present

08:08

for you he's got something to give you

08:10

something you want very badly here it is

08:13

look it's a decision to overturn Ro v

08:15

Wade the Supreme Court majority wrote

08:17

The Following and with all due respect

08:20

justices women are not without electoral

08:22

electoral

08:24

power excuse me electoral or political

08:27

power you're about to realize just how

08:29

much

08:37

you

08:45

clearly

08:51

clearly those bragging about overturning

08:54

riewe have no clue about the power of

08:56

women but they found out when

08:59

reproductive Freedom was on the ballot

09:01

we won in 2022 and 2020 and we win again

09:04

in

09:08

2024 oh well you can't have a safe clean

09:11

country or groceries you can afford or

09:14

schools that will educate your

09:16

children but you can't have abortion you

09:19

can have a lot more abortion how's about

09:21

some more abortion for you that'll make

09:22

you happy and free you can have all the

09:25

abortions you want but of course you

09:27

already could have all the ab abortions

09:29

you want abortion is one thing maybe the

09:31

one thing that's pretty easy to get in

09:33

this country compare getting an abortion

09:36

to getting an affordable new roof or a

09:39

knee

09:40

replacement no abortion is everywhere

09:44

it's very easy to get and it's easy to

09:46

get because the government wants it to

09:48

be of course unlike an affordable new

09:50

roof but what's interesting is why of

09:54

all the services government could

09:56

guarantee why abortion at a time when

09:58

fertility rates of actual Americans are

10:01

below replacement Biden and his party

10:04

are encouraging Americans to have fewer

10:07

children now if you have a handheld

10:09

calculator do the math on that that's

10:10

the path to Extinction why would they

10:12

want that you're the leader of a country

10:14

why would you want your people to have

10:16

fewer

10:16

children H you should ponder that but

10:20

let's say you're too old to have an

10:21

abortion let's say it doesn't actually

10:24

apply to you this wonderful Freedom that

10:26

will make you happy what can you do to

10:29

guarantee that you will have no

10:30

descendants well you can always castrate

10:32

your children and end your lineage no

10:34

more grandchildren and Joe Biden wants

10:37

to

10:37

help I want to protect fundamental

10:40

rights pass the equality

10:43

act my m a transgender

10:47

americ I have your

10:49

[Music]

10:50

back

10:52

oh Trans children I have your back

10:56

that's not creepy but that's what he's

10:58

offering a abortion War castration of

11:02

children not better roads in schools

11:05

cheaper electricity and food no abortion

11:07

and

11:09

War who wants all that I mean some tiny

11:13

percentage of CNN contributors think

11:15

those the most important things but most

11:18

people would rather have cheaper

11:19

electricity cheaper food better

11:23

roads and so what this means is that

11:26

underneath all of the talk is a dire

11:30

political reality Joe Biden can't win in

11:34

a fair election Joe Biden will lose in

11:37

November he cannot

11:39

win that's the thing that nobody in any

11:43

media wants to say out loud in a fair

11:46

election Joe Biden cannot win so they're

11:49

saying the opposite here for example is

11:51

the pregame analysis over at MSNBC which

11:54

we watched while waiting for Biden to

11:55

dot her up to the stage waiting for the

11:57

amphetamines to take effect and keep in

11:59

mind as you watch this analysis these

12:02

are supposedly the smart kids these are

12:03

the smart kids the ones with complicated

12:05

glasses these are the ones the white

12:06

house looks to for guidance and here's

12:08

their analysis of Joe Biden's skills

12:10

watch this this seems like a weirdly

12:13

like counterintuitive hot take even

12:15

though it's the most obvious thing you

12:17

could say which is that Joe Biden is

12:19

good at politics like Joe Biden is good

12:21

at politics he's very good at politics

12:23

like he the man really doesn't know what

12:25

he's doing and you really see it in

12:27

those sort of SE situ

12:30

Joe Biden is just really good at

12:32

politics it's the one thing he's really

12:33

good at really if Joe Biden is so good

12:36

at politics why is he losing to Donald

12:39

Trump who the rest of us were assured

12:41

was a racist who no normal

12:44

person would vote for but now Joe Biden

12:47

is getting stomped by Donald Trump but

12:49

he's also at the same time good at

12:52

politics right Chris Hayes ladies and

12:55

gentlemen the most famous lesbian in

12:57

television so again they can't win but

13:01

they're not giving up so what does that

13:03

tell you well they're going to steal the

13:05

election and we know they're going to

13:07

steal the election because they're now

13:09

saying so out loud here is the Attorney

13:13

General of the United States the chief

13:15

law enforcement officer of this country

13:18

in Selma Alabama just the other day

13:20

listen to this the right to vote is

13:24

still under

13:26

attack and that is why the justice

13:28

department is fighting back that is why

13:31

one of the first things I did when I

13:32

came into office was to double the size

13:35

of the voting section of the Civil

13:37

Rights division that is why we are

13:40

challenging efforts by States and

13:42

jurisdictions to implement

13:44

discriminatory burdensome and

13:46

unnecessary restrictions on access to

13:49

the ballot including those related to

13:51

mailin voting the use of dropboxes and

13:54

voter ID

13:56

requirements that is why we are working

13:59

to block the adoption of discriminatory

14:02

redistricting plans that dilute the vote

14:06

of black voters and other voters of

14:09

color did you catch that of course

14:12

you're a racist that's always the

14:13

takeaway but consider the details of

14:16

what the Attorney General of the United

14:18

States just said mail and balloting

14:22

dropboxes voter ID

14:25

requirements the chief law enforcement

14:27

officer of the United States government

14:30

is telling you that it's immoral in fact

14:32

racist in fact illegal to ask people for

14:35

their IDs when they vote to verify they

14:37

are who they say they are what is that

14:41

well no one ever talks about this but

14:44

the justification for it is that somehow

14:46

people of color black people don't have

14:49

state issued IDs somehow they're living

14:52

in a country where you can do virtually

14:53

nothing without proving your identity

14:55

with a government issued ID without

14:58

government issued IDs so they can't fly

15:00

on planes they can't have checking

15:02

accounts they can't have any interaction

15:03

with the government state local or

15:06

federal they can't stay in hotels they

15:09

can't have credit

15:10

cards because someone without a state

15:13

issued ID can't do any of those things

15:14

but what's so interesting is these same

15:16

people very much including the attorney

15:18

general and the administration he serves

15:21

is working to eliminate cash to make

15:24

this a cashless Society have you been to

15:26

a stadium event recently no cash

15:29

accepted you have to have a credit card

15:31

and in order to get a credit card you

15:32

need a state issued ID and somehow

15:36

that's not racist but it is racist to

15:39

ask people to prove their identity when

15:41

they choose the next president of the

15:43

United States so that doesn't make any

15:45

sense at all that's a lie it's an easily

15:48

provable lie and anyone telling that lie

15:51

is advocating for Mass voter fraud which

15:54

the Attorney General is there's no other

15:57

way to read it so you should know that

15:59

you live in a country where the Attorney

16:00

General is eding in fact calling for

16:03

voter fraud and that's the only chance

16:06

they have to get their guy

16:10

[Music]

16:18

reelected
