Hello and welcome the crosstalk were all things were considered im Peter Lavelle what is the difference between embarrassing gaffes and elder abuse joe biden certainly excels at the former and maybe is the big tim of the latter we were told mention of Mental Health is off limits to what degree does the public have the right to know. Cross talking joe biden im joined by my guest jan kearns in new york she is a g. O. P. Strategist contributor to the daily caller as well as founder of women for a Great America in washington we have Jason Nichols hes a Democratic Political strategist also in washington we cross to walter small logic he is a answer Coalition Organizer rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate jan let me go to you 1st i mean i said in my introduction here i mean you know you have you have a lot of gaffes coming from joe biden and hes been known for it ok its not the you know all of a sudden but the intensity of them are is mounting and that maybe just because of the medias watching more closely im trying to be really fair here but we i think we have every right to know about the mental facilities the capabilities of someone that is running for the highest office in the land i mean how do you come out on this go ahead john. Well i agree i said last tuesday on super tuesday that the good news was for joe biden he won the primaries and i also said at the same time the bad news is he won the primaries and that the spotlight would soon be getting super hot on him and his numerous gaffes i mean this is a man who wakes up and on a daily basis is not too sure what state he zen he mistakenly called his wife his sister last week and the list of gaffes really go on and on and on and luckily there are always video cameras around to to record those and youre very right peter they have hawker see from the left is rich here because they began calling President Trump then candidate trump crazy in june of 2015 shortly after his announcement here in new york city that he wanted to run for president of the United States and that is something that continued through his inauguration in january of 2017 and really has continued through the entire impeachment investigation you know talking about his mental faculties talking about his fitness to be president and other Mental Health issues and so you know whats good for the goose is good for the gander if theyve called the President Trump that for the last 4 or 5 years they certainly are going to get their share of scrutiny going into november of this year you know jason let me go to you in washington because the interesting thing was and i commented on at the time is that you know when they were commenting on on donald trump they all acted as if they were trained psychiatrys but now they say how dare you say that youre not a medical Health Professional how can you even make that assessment i mean you know what its going to be one of the other here ok and is ginger said theres just ample ample Video Evidence here joe has a hard time string in sentences together and i think thats a pretty fair statement ok and of course we all want. Be kind and gentle weve probably all known people in our family elderly people this is what happens ok sadly this is the case here but i am not going to deny reality and say well thats thats not representative i mean its becoming the norm go ahead jason. Well 5 i would agree 1st of all we need to parse out a little bit of the difference between twitter chatter and actual people that matter people in the media and others people who have challenge President Trump usually challenge him on his outright lies rather than his mental faculties or anything like that and you know one of the things we did see that i think is an outright lie is talking about the fact that he was 6 foot 3. 23 pounds which hes obviously much heavier than that. So again i think we have a lot of things that we need to parse out in terms of well i mean. Its more he said but i mean its all his whole although ok but jason i mean i think youre comparing apples here youre comparing apples and oranges lying about your weight. Isnt a National Security threat ok but thats a physical but if youre is the thing i know from his physical ok i mean and i will agree with you heres the heres heres what will agree steve is that someone who has not examined you know who is not a physician and certainly even if you are a physician or a person who has an exam and someone cannot make a medical diagnosis so therefore im not going to say that President Trump has some sort of narcissism issue when i when im not a psychologist and i havent examined President Trump same thing with. Joe biden ok cant say that he has dementia or all these kinds of changes that you havent actually examined him but i think going to grieve jason i think we can be fair here after theres a lot about him lying about his and i have a question and an observation hang on hold your horses here. You know we go to google and type in is donald trump crazy and you get a go you get to get search results that will take you days weeks and maybe months to read im sorry your argument doesnt stand any scrutiny whatsoever now and. Now its unfair to say sure source let me go to let me go to walter now ok let me go to walter the crazy is not a real diagnosis and thats not a diagnosis or why dont you weigh in here ok go ahead. Well sure i mean specific diagnoses aside its clear that joe biden doesnt have the Mental Fitness to veeck of the president to carry out all the tasks that that compass says i mean not only does joe biden have these horrible right wing positions that have harmed so many millions of people when it comes to Health Care Cuts to social spending the war in iraq mass incarceration not only does joe biden have all of those deficiencies as a candidate but he also he cant complete a sentence i mean the Washington Post just put out an article about how the Longest Campaign speech the Longest Campaign event that joe biden was capable of doing over the past few days was about 15 minutes long 15 minutes and this guy wants to be the most powerful person in the world but the real question is i mean sheer incompetence alone can explain the Democratic Partys elites decision to go with a candidate who clearly who clearly is not mentally fit however you want to frame that specifically clearly not mentally fit the reason why theyve rallied around this figure who has i think after this act of god absolutely no chance of beating donald trump is because they absolutely cannot tolerate the dander here thought that Bernie Sanders would be their nominee thats absolutely true i agree with you jan i mean that leads me to believe i mean i think any commonsense person would listen to joe. After the array of debates that the you know its probably good that he gets like 45 seconds or a minute because he can hang on just barely then but i mean now you got to go one on one with donald trump if he becomes the nominee i mean thats going to be more than an embarrassment given what weve seen over the last few months empirical evidence dictates thats the conclusion you will draw in the future debate go ahead jen. Yeah look im looking very much forward to i think its that president has agreed to 3 general election debates and those will be i mean. Pop the popcorn guys thats going to be very entertaining to watch but they do have some time to prepare joe biden and his 1st test really is coming up this sunday when he goes mana against Bernie Sanders and and look hes got to get past Bernie Sanders 1st this week and if he does not do well at the sunday debate i think the Democratic Party goes back to the drawing board and says we may have a problem on our hands i would not be surprised if they were able to substitute Hillary Clinton and substitute Michelle Obama and some time between now and the day that the d. N. C. Convention starts which is july 13th i think it will be very unlikely but that is still a possibility and look even jasons right here in no they cant prescribe someones Mental Illness to them and in fact theres even an American Psychological association guideline that says if you are not a physician actually treating the individual you are not to assess their Psychological Association however that didnt stop him s n b c c. N. N. From having people on for the past few years talking and talking about present times Mental Fitness but heres the big reckoning in the Democratic Party peter and that is democrats have to ask themselves are looking at Mike Bloomberg us a 1000000000. 00 with a b that he said hes going to spend taking down President Trump well if you have that 1000000000. 00 focus the president trying but you also know that your own guy probably doesnt have the juice it takes to win in november what are you really doing and i think the Democratic Party has some soul searching to do here theyre going to take down the president of the United States but they dont have someone to back fill that position youre youre only damaging america at that point. In your opinion is joe biden that your candidate the partys candidate because i tend to agree with walter is that they just dont want Bernie Sanders theyre willing to lose donald trump to avoid seeing Bernie Sanders succeed go ahead jason. Well im more in line with Bernie Sanders myself but the thing is the same thing in 2016 the voters were not and you know you can talk about some of the things that the d. N. C. Did in 2016 that theres no evidence that theyre doing now but the fact is that you know while i have been now advocating for Bernie Sanders on many different outlets and saying that Bernie Sanders is a better candidate you know gabbert as my friend advocated for her on on certain occasions joe biden is the person whos winning and thats the democratic process and it seems that hes the person that people are choosing and want to be the nominee and we have to respect that now again about joe bidens you know Mental Fitness and all of that and President Trump people are acting as though President Trump is i agree with jen that hes very entertaining but this idea that hes so incredibly sharp we wouldnt be having this conversation if you if you were that sharp so i think youre going to have 2 elderly men on the stage going after one another and you know debates number one dont really make a huge difference in peoples decisions number one and number 2 its going to be 2 elderly old men sitting there trading barbs and its well i mean thats going to you know that jason jason about turnout but i have to i have. To hang on were almost got to go to a break i just want to Say Something if you can kind of compare the way trumpet spoke in 2016 to now its changed very little ok i dont i dont always agree with what he says but if you compare joe from 2016 to now theres a huge difference there ok and the fact that they keep him away from media gives gives rise for a reason to have this program in the 1st place its not trunk trumps mental facilities that were talking about here hes consistent all the way through all of the time remarkably so hasnt he doesnt even seem to push each other. You just heard about is getting all right on that im going to have to go to a short break it will go back to jason after that short break. Joe biden stayed with. Him. In the early ninetys. Mixologist proposed to the. Experiment. Paedophiles and neglected boys experiment was a. Girl to believe that sex with older men would help with the boys socialization of the 30 years many children were paedophiles to raise. Her. Boyfriends or she just told the truth 103. 00 of the. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on ill show you whats the reason for any type of enhanced u. S. Military presence in this area rochelle. What is it suddenly about the South China Sea that makes it so that it 11 bill. Barrels of oil. Take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have Nuclear Weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so thats why were going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly its time to do news again. And illegal takeover of the government by a small group. Rather than revolution reason. That small group the corporation when you have a tiny people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us dont get together and take it back. These are sacrificing. Places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like Voter Suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices are well in that world for well theres. No question that the. Welcome to cross talk were all things are considered im peter beltre mind you were discussing job i. Go back to jason in washington i hate cutting people off but we have to go to a hard break you have to go to a hard break go ahead jason. You know its not you know. I would just say that we certainly cant say that President Trump is this incredible debater you know hes not necessarily someone who comes with facts hes somebody who repeats himself over and over and what were going to have is 2 elderly men who are going to trade barbs one on you know one after the other and i apologize for calling you steve peter i also want to say that debates dont really matter and the reason i say that is because of objective we speaking a little bit the war and won the democratic debates on several occasions and as a matter of fact couple herse 6 want to debate you know early on and you didnt even make it to the problems jason jason idea that j. C. Are they have but i mean that is an old myth i will give you all of that jason agreed fine but let me with a cob with always the right jason all of the candidates you mention spoke fluently if they won or lost the debate we have one candidate that looks like the presumptive nominee they cant finish sentences jan youve been trying to get in go ahead George George w. Bush had problems speaking we can agree peter that jogging with george w. Bush looks like you know more rater george w. Bush will take in or rater next of joe biden ok lets go to jan thats going to jenna new york what was the hang on it no no doesnt listen heard it was that he couldnt speak dont. Go ahead. Jason is absolutely wrong here if you want to suggest that debates dont matter ask Mike Bloomberg what happened in nevada i mean look Mike Bloomberg should have never agreed to be on the stage old level who was. Very much if this isnt a valid debate. Look no but look at the debate that proves that debate Elizabeth Warren became the defacto moderator of that debate debates do matter if its a its an unscripted moment anything could happen on the debate stage i didnt write or for a president ial debate for a major t. V. Network and look if you think debates dont matter look back at the aug 2015 debate where meghan kelly went up against donald trump he ended up winning that he won every debate since that he became the nominee because of it so debates do matter they might not matter in a way that you can draw the dotted line from a disease but they do matter what Mike Bloomberg why hes not in the race today its because it is a battle of debate all right real quick jason real quickly i want to go to the area. Here. Real quick jason go ahead real quick go ahead. Yeah i just want to say with Mike Bloomberg heres the issue it wasnt just a debate the problem with Mike Bloomberg was that whenever Mike Bloomberg speaks no one ever comes away liking him more hes a surly person he doesnt really have a whole lot of personality he has no charisma and thats whether hes on a stump speech whether hes in a church or whether hes on a debate stage it doesnt matter you never listen to him and come away like and hear more its different with President Trump its different even with joe biden its different with Elizabeth Warren d ok but this guy im sorry doesnt have the ok i dont know i mean ive been watching reno. Doesnt have to go ahead but its or start over again what youre going to have and then let let walter speak go ahead well well well this is but this is just an absurd scenario that were talking about here i mean why does it have to be joe biden versus donald trump why does that have to be the ultimate most consequential decision that the people of the United States have to make between these 2 right wing serial liars who are in the pockets of big corporate interests joe biden somebody has been figure for decades donald trump somebody whos a member of the you know this hated billionaire class rightfully hated billionaire class why does it have to be like this i mean the Democratic Party could decide to not rig the chances of could not to not sabotage the campaign of the one candidate in the race who is left in the race who has a real shot at winning who actually stands for something who stands for so little out of the well carrying education for housing for a union i actually agree with that clearly have. More hang on you guys dont talk every talk over each other because viewers dont like it just raise your hand and ill go to you jen go right ahead jan go ahead. Ok i actually agree with walter here there is no debate i would rather see more than 2 passionate people with completely me tempus it sets of ideas and that would be Bernie Sanders versus i think thats the debate that americans deserve to hear unfortunately the Democratic Party disagreed with that so were talking about with the reality of the guy that you guys are stuck with and i think that in the end alternately is going to be joe biden unless again this coming sunday he doesnt perform well against Bernie Sanders which could possibly well be you know Bernie Sanders and joe biden currently are neck and neck theyre only really separated by about a 100 delegates at this point if you look at the people whove endorsed them pete amy so forth theyve got about another 100 if joe biden makes a serious gaffe at this weekends democratic debate things could change that could be a game changer and you see Bernie Sanders this week kind of tamping down his craziness says making and calling people mentally unfit but you see him sort of tamping down and becoming the nominee that he thinks said the establishment wants him to be showing that hes this acceptable guy and that this crazy uncle bernie out there but if he performs well at the sunday night debate which i think he could that could also be a game changer in the 4th quarter of this game you know i have to wonder let me go to walter because walter hasnt had enough time you but i have to wonder if you did coincidence did who was running this clinton documentary because i have this really weird feeling that at the last 2nd they want to shoe horn her in i dont think its impossible while at the same time not likely but its like having a joke or a real joker in your hand here walter because im convinced the d. N. C. And c n n emissaries are going to have buyers remorse go ahead walter. Well ive given up making predictions i think ive been hearing many is not a lot of addictive also who knows who knows but but i just think its really important that that we recognize the immense institutional power that the Democratic Party establishment has here i mean yes people are going to the polls people are voting but that choice doesnt happen in a vacuum they have extremely important levers of power i think principally the media right both the pro Democratic Party media and the media that present itself as being centrist or nonpartisan are all 100 percent hostile to Bernie Sanders and are conspiring to create this are an envelop and avid ability around joe biden i mean people are not going to deal with the structural barriers to voting that 7 hour long lines them die in areas that were likely to favor Bernie Sanders if they think that that vote wont really make a difference if they are inevitability has been ridiculously built around joe biden through the Corporate Media through the power of incumbent politicians and so forth you know jason just a hypothetical because i know that you have made it very clear that you like Bernie Sanders and i respect respect that you told told us that but can you explain to me why didnt the Democratic Party and c. N. N. And m s n b c why didnt they say club which are ok because least he is a compelling campaigner ok i mean because joe was in the doldrums and then thats there was a 72 hour hiatus than all the sudden everything is transformed ive never seen anything like it in my life and it was behind the scenes ok big money obama was involved all of these things here why would they do it for a club which are she believes she presents the party is moderate shes a woman thats you guys like all that woke stuff why didnt you go with someone like that go ahead jason. Well good thing about cobra char and the reason that biden was able to turn this whole thing around is because of one man. Demographic that he captured that khloe bashar cant and that is africanamericans particularly africanamerican women they are the soul of the Democratic Party they are the force of the Democratic Party Bernie Sanders gets a portion of the africanamerican vote particularly when were talking about younger africanamericans but when we saw the winds change in South Carolina we knew that people like pete booted gedge who had you know an early bump in iowa and you know amy code which are probably over performed in some of those early states was not going to survive going through the south particularly on super tuesday and on some of the states following that she might have some weight in the midwest but this election is going to be about turnout and if you cant turn out africanamericans as a democrat you will not win and so thats where it comes down to these 2 particular candidates Bernie Sanders who has young africanamericans excited about him and joe biden who has older africanamericans who will come out and vote for him and steady numbers thats what you need and clothes which are and blue to judge and all the other people were way behind in that area and theres no way you can win a democratic way and secondly as we saw with Hillary Clinton you cant. Get on with their minds or turn out from africanamericans jan go ahead. That is true i do agree with jason i do happen to think that africanamerican females are the most powerful voting bloc going into 2020 you look at their turnout they made or broke that race in alabama against roy moore at the polls and so i do believe they have that purchasing power at the ballot box like weve not seen and a very long time but i will say this the choice here did not have to be joe biden and heres why there was one key phone call made and it was by none other than president obama to intervene he was the 1st one called mare pete he called peabody gen and was the 1st one to ask him to bow out and where pete did and that began that 72 hour contagion theres another 2nd figure also an africanamerican and thats James Cliburn and i called him on super tuesday night i called him the most powerful person in the Democratic Party not joe biden despite the fact that biden actually won and so i think you look at these 2 figures in the party they are really the power here not joe biden and whomever they would have endorsed would have carried the day and i think i think would have a good shot at it so i dont think the string care is that joe biden can attract africanamericans i think you have to look at those 2 key africanamericans who interjected themselves here and to the selection their followers would have followed him ever they chose and that could have been an error p. I dont want to throw the support there i want to close i want to throw cold water on this here but no one isnt mentioned the preferences of the donors and thats where most of it comes from the donor class in both parties its all the time we have many things that might get said we want you to and didnt you york and thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember crosstalk rules.
