Just make it count, my friends. Most of you do, some of you don't. It's a once in a lifetime
opportunity, so think it through and make it count. So you know, there's a common theme, a common refrain that's been out there for a long time, and this debate that's coming up on Thursday night. This debate is here to, I guess, give us opportunity to resume this common discussion. In fact, there's a piece that I have in the stack of stuff today at totofshow dot com, a piece that's in the stack of stuff which I'm going to get to today, which we're going to talk about here off off
of the top of the program. But is there a chance this is a spectator? Dot org is the website Spectator, the American spectator. Spectator dot org is the website. It's listed in the stack of stuff if you want to see it at todepshow dot com headline. Here could a Biden debate disaster propel Newsom to the nomination? You could take Newsom's name out specifically here,
although it could be Newsome. And this is another form of the age old discussion and pontification and prognostication and prediction that Biden will not either a complete his term as first term as president, which he's all but done. Biden's not going to be, the predicators say, not going to be the nominee for the Democrat Party in twenty twenty four. There are still people who stand by this. Hec Vivek Ramaswami was out there saying that this debate, they wanted
to move it earlier. The Democratic National Committee wanted to move it earlier so that they could basically give Biden. It's like a job, it's like an interview. It's like a fine interview. If Biden goes out on the stage and completely flops, then so goes the argument. People in the Democrat Party are going to say, look, there's no way this guy can win. We're going to have to come up with the plan B and then nominate, which they can do, by the way, nominate someone else besides Biden.
Even though the people have cast their ballots for Biden, he's won the nomination by votes in the primary and caucus process, that doesn't mean that the folks at the convention cannot change their vote based upon something like Biden being incapable from a cognitive or mental capability perspective of fulfilling the role of President of the United States. So that can happen. But will it happen? Will it happen? There's been a lot of, what I want to say, predictions that
this would happen for a long time. In fact, I've heard even for many of you giving dates. I don't think Biden will make it past whatever Labor Day of twenty twenty three. The first two years, he won't make it to the mid term elections or whatever he's done all of that. There were some people who thought he wouldn't finish the first six months of his campaign center of his term in office. This reminds me too of Trump. I remember, and you can go back and look, I remember talking about this.
There were people that predicted that Trump would not serve more than one hundred days in office. In fact, I remember someone saying it would be the second shortest stint of a president ever after William Henry Harrison passed away shortly after getting into the office. Back what was he the ninth president? Is that right? Something like that? Anyway, So that's a common discussion point,
and I want to talk about that today. So before we do that, though, my friends, you know that we all are ultimately responsible for our own health. Diets a big part of that, exercises a big part of that, and supplements health supplements can also be an important part of that. We're not necessarily getting all of the nutritional value in our food today, even
if we eat, even if We're very particular in what we eat. It can be hard sometimes to get the proper amount of nutrients, macros and everything else in our food supply, so sometimes it's wise to turn to supplements, and so we've partnered with z Stack.

Let's get to this article here at the American Spectator again at Spectator dot org. This
is in the stack of stuff at toddufshow dot com. Hat tip to the late Great Rush Limball. Could a Biden debate disaster propel Newsom to denomination? The debate will put Biden's diminished mental electricity on full display. So Biden is here for well, Biden's going to be up there on the debate stage, and so the theory goes here that everybody is going to see Biden for who he truly is. Trump. It's a little bit different than the State of
the Union address. Biden was just reading off a teleprompter for roughly ninety minutes at that time. This is not a back and forth with Trump. They've tried to insulate him a little bit by the rules, by the rules that they've agreed to. They want Trump's microphone, both sides agreed to this, by the way, but they want the microphone shut off of the opposing person so that they can complete their thought. But Obviously Trump excels in this format.
The more it feels like a metaphorical street fight, the better that Trump typically does comes up with these one liners on the spot wrong right, Remember the sorts of things where the nicknames come out or some sort of an insult and a one liner hits it just the right time. I mean, Trump's
the master of that. So a lot of that's going to go away, and I think that that's going to be a bigger factor then we might realize to see that on full display, where there won't be that capability if they follow the rules and if the mics are shut off, you're going to lose some of that. You're also going to lose some of the entertainment factor which this draws in people who don't normally watch these things, which, as weird as it might sound, I think is a good thing for the country.
I don't think we should turn it into American gladiators or American Ninja Warrior or something, although that's what Biden seems to want to do, have push up contests and everything else, as he's challenged people in the past to things like that. But I do think that when these are entertaining, and I don't mean like slapstick comedy shows. I just mean there's something going on there to
attract the average American. That's a good thing because one of the things we need in this country is for average Americans, for all Americans to be engaged, or at least as many as possible, aware, engaged, and active making sure that we hold our elected representatives accountable. So so there's going to be that that's going to help Biden, right, where Trump can't just jump
in and really throw Biden for a loop. But in spite of all of that, the expectation, and I agree with this, is that anybody who's unbiased is going to likely see a massive difference between Trump and Biden, not just based upon their style and personalities, not as based upon their policies. But I do believe that there's going to be a difference in perceived competence.
This is why Trump's out there saying the only way Biden's getting through a debate is if they pump this guy full of drugs or something that gets him jacked up for ninety minutes. That's why I'm going to subject myself to a drug
test if he does, right. That's why all that rhetoric's going on, and so it's possible that Biden gets through relatively unscathed, especially with some of the rules that are in place that make the debate a little less chaotic, that make it more structured, that at least in theory, that can help Biden stay on task a little bit, a little bit easier. So that's what the conventional wisdom is, Hey, this is going to be obvious and
the Democrats are going to have to do something about this. So that's kind of where this piece starts off. Democrats must know Thursday's debate could be a disaster for Joe Biden. After all, the president can't go anywhere without tripping over himself with quote gaffes that are really the result of his prolonged cognitive decline. A comparison with Biden's performance in the debates from twenty twenty will only accentuate
the obviousness of his mental collapse. And so basically that's that's the part. The point of this piece is to say, look, if it's if it is as bad as it can be, if it is as bad in reality as I can envision it being, then what are the Democrats going to do?
Are they going to continue to push this guy out there. Are they going to nominate him officially at their convention here in whatever it is, a couple well in August now a couple of months away, or are they going to somehow just acknowledge that their candidate has clear deficiencies mental lack of mental fitness and so forth, and say we have to go a different route, and then that opens up the possibilities She's mentioned here in her piece, Gavin Newsome.
But again, the the one that they're holding out the most hope for is Michelle Obama. And again some people think she's playing games, that she really wants the role, but she's been pretty consistent. She's consistently refused to take the offer to be the party's nominee, and that appears to be where she's where she finds herself today. The other another person that they I think I think would fawn over would be Oprah Winfrey, but it's gonna it would
be someone like that. So to me, the first problem is I've shared on here with you before. There is no bench, right, there is no bench. You look down the bench and you look at who's sitting there, and there's no obvious choice there's no obvious candidates. Gavin Newsom, she mentions her in her piece, is that really the best choice? This guy has managed California, which you could say, Look, it's one of the greatest economies in the entire world, right, I mean, this is California.
This this country has a better, stronger GDP economy than a lot of countries have. I mean, it's up at the top. Just list. If you pull that out on its own, it can hold its own. I would say that's in spite of Gavin Newsom, in spite of what they've tried to do. In fact, I would point out many of the flaws
in the way that he's governed and led his state. They're at a budget deficit, They've got all sorts of problems regarding I mean things like well, things like managing power lines as they pertain to forest fires, the out of control laws and regulations. You know. I talked with people here in my state, fellow business owners, and it can be tough to run a business in any state, right. Sometimes the law is just not business friendly.
I think maybe anywhere, but especially in California. I can't imagine trying to start a business in California We have some partners on this program who are based in California, and I ask them about some of these things, and some of them are, you know, people who I've just had other conversations with. And there are real challenges to running a business in California, and that's because of policies that are enacted, that are led, that are pushed by
people like Gavin Newsome. The tax rates outlandishly high, the amount of homelessness and problems that they have in certain places like San Francisco, the sanctuary state position, of course, the mess that's caused in Los Angeles due to illegal immigration, which of course they want to stop that, while at the same time telling you that they care so much about people and they will make Los Angeles a sanctuary city, California a sanctuary state. I mean, in a
lot of ways, a lot of ways. Gavin Newsom I maintained that that Biden is effectively one of the most leftist presidents that we've had. If you listen to what he says, he doesn't sound like that. But if you look at if you look at the things that he's doing, if you look at how he's weaponized the Department of Justice, I mean this is what lovers of big government do. I think that this is a very this is a
stalinistic type of a move. So I think he's certainly amongst the most radically left that we've had in practice, maybe not in true ideology, but in practice. And so, but the average American is not a leftist. They're not prepared for some of the things on a national level that people like Gavin Newsom have proposed have tried to execute in their respective city, states or whatever.
But in Newsom's case in particular, this would put the radical left agenda basically right there on the national stage, and it's not a popular ideology. Now, they would avoid some of the other problems they have now, which is a candidate that can't that's clearly not capable. But I think that they run into problems here as well, and they run into problems everywhere on down
the line. From Elizabeth Warren, who pretends to be a Native American, I can say that because I am documented to be the thirteenth great grandson of Pocahontas, so I can say that I also have no problems with people calling her Pokahonas. She's the one that's made a deal out of something that shouldn't even matter in American politics, pretending to be Native American. She's on that list. Pete boot Edge Edge, Pete Boodhage Edge has looked completely incompetent as
the Transportation secretary. Who, my friends, is on the list. Amy Klobuchar, she was running for president in twenty sixteen. I haven't seen her. She's vanished from the national stage. Bernie Sanders. The Democrat Party hates Bernie Sanders. They know he's not electable either. He's the nutty professor. But that's a He's not even a Democrat right now. He's technically an independent. He only becomes a Democrat every four years when he decides to run for
the Democrat Party's nomination for president. Who is the candidate? I mean, where are they Beto or Rourke? Is he going to come back on the scene. Who is this person? I just don't think that they have one. So that's a big problem. Now. If Biden comes up and really embarrasses himself on Thursday night on the debate stage, these conversations, which by the way, have certainly happened, have transpired. They will continue to happen.
There might be more, you know, more rigorous debate behind closed doors and the Democrat party power structure. But the bottom line is they still don't have an obvious choice, and they still don't have someone that the American people are going to openly just rally behind. You know, you can't go scorched earth against Donald Trump. You can't go scorched earth against I would say, I would say the American way of life. You can't go scorched earth and
go completely open border. You can't go scorched earth and destroy the economy through inflation and just simply think that you can change all that, wipe that away with a new candidate. It's the same party, it's the same ideas, it's the same beliefs. So more to say about this as we talk about the debate in general. But they've still got a massive problem about this. But my friends, you know that I've talked with you about Harvard Gold Group
for some time. Harvard Gold Group is here to help you with your gold and silver, your precious metal needs. I mentioned on here that gold has outperformed the S and P five hundred and the DOW since nineteen seventy one. I've also shared with you that physical gold and silver have been tangible money for over two thousand, well for thousands of years, and so does it make
sense to add gold to your portfolio. There's lots of reasons to consider doing this, and you might want to check out if it's a good fit for your portfolio. There's all sorts of options, all sorts of ways that you could invest, and it made us be a new con Maybe some of you understand it well and you're just looking for a new partner.

So you know, I agree in large part that the Democrat Party with this article. The Democrat Party is in a mess. They're in disarray. They're hoping that Biden can somehow not embarrass himself on the debate stage, but there exists a very real possibility that he will embarrass himself. And more importantly,
they don't care so much that he embarrasses himself. They care that he embarrasses the Democrat Party because again, it's hard to clamor and argue for more government when the people who are clamoring for more government don't have their act together, right. So that's a problem. So you've got to look like you know what you're doing, you have your own act together, so that you
can take over everyone else's act. That's kind of the idea, and so that is at risk with Biden. But again, if there's no bench, where do you turn? Is Gavin Newsom the next best option? Are they still clamoring and begging Michelle Obama? What about someone like Oprah Winfrey. I don't know. I don't know, but I do know this. There's been predictions about this for a long time, and I know, you know,
I think about this sometimes. You know, I could go on this show and we could pontificate, and I think some people in enjoy this, I mean, and they listen to people who make all these predictions. How many people have predicted things like this, predicted that you know, Biden wasn't going to finish his first term, or he wasn't going to be the nominee,
he wasn't going to make it past the Labor Day or whatever. It's fine to have these ideas and opinions, but to stake a claim in the ground and for it not to happen, and then to come back only then to say, well, next year it won't be the case or next month. This is one of my problems with the people who have I talked about, you know, the election integrity stuff. And I don't mean the people who
raise the questions, but people who have made predictions. Oh man, if you just wait until next month, the lid's going to be blown off of this thing. Everybody's going to be exposed. We got them right. This is this sort of talk happens every every time it's always tomorrow, it's always next week, it's always next month, next year. Just wait. Well, we can't just wait. We don't have the ability for life to have a pause button these things. Time moves along. The debate is going to
happen as scheduled. Election day will arrive as scheduled. Candidates for the election have to be on the ballots at certain times. I mean, there are realities here and people. I don't know how people can listen on a regular basis to people who make dire prediction. You know, these these bold predictions that never that never come true, unless they just want to be entertained, just to be have some mental exercise. Oh that'd be interesting. No,
I don't care about what's interesting. I mean I do care about what's interesting, right, I mean, we talk about things that I find interesting, But that's not the main driver. I care about what's interesting. That matters. I care ultimately about saving this country. That's what I care about. Care about saving this country. So anyway, my friends, I'm long in this segment. Got to shut up and take a break, quick time out back in just a minute. Welcome back to my friends. I'm want to
shift gears a little bit here. I don't look, but we talked about last segment. Certainly is a possibility. I certainly believe that it could happen. The Democrats are not idiots, and by the way, they have complete it's up to them. I mean, they can decide to do this. I just simply want to point out that this has been something that has been promised for a long time, something similar to this. Biden was not going to finish the first term, or be the nominee or anything else, and
we've gone through all those dates and predictions and so forth. I still think the safest bed is to assume that Biden is going to remain the nominee. Now, I also believe that there's a possibility that he would not be the nominee. But then they're still faced They the Democrat Party, are still face with a massive problem as to who they pick. In reality, it's not just some theoretical exercise where they can say, well, yeah, we don't
want Biden to be the guy, because he's an absolute train wreck. He's got a he's got a record. Now it's a record that we can't defend. He's clearly not capable of doing the job. Average Americans now realize this. He's the butt of jokes. I mean, you know, when this stuff gets its way into pop culture and find its way to the low information voter, as Rush used to say, it creates problems for the Democrat Party. And so they I know that they understand it. But it's not just
enough to say, well, this guy's clearly not our guy. There has to be someone else, right, There has to be someone else, And since they can't yet quite turn to AI to be their candidates, which I'm sure will be coming at some point in the future, some AI candidate. As I've shared on here before, there was a gentleman in I think he was in England that's starting an AI. He's using AI to communicate with his constituents and then letting AI basically tell him what certain policies should be. That's
another discussion for another day. But we've we've got to deal with the real people, and there's not a clear cut choice. She mentions Gavin Newsom in the article. I think that that's I mean, ideologically a major a major problem, a major problem. And part of the reason is for what I'm gonna play here. I'm gonna play here now this is townhall dot COM's where I found this headline. CNN's Van Jones explains explains why the Obama coalition is
collapsing right now. Van Jones is, I mean, Van Jones is a radical leftist, I mean, I basically a communist. But he's out here explaining politically what's going on and why there are so many electoral problems for Biden right now. And so he talks about what's called this Obama coalition. Right when Obama was elected in eight In twenty twelve, he had a coalition of voters that the left, the left has basically forced the modern Democrat Party to
not go after. In fact, there was a time after the twenty twelve election where or sometime around there where it was kind of accepted, maybe even after the twenty ten midterms, when a lot of these blue dog Democrats were raced from the scene because they supported Obamacare, and so people in conservative or at least not radical districts, those Democrats lost their seats because the people in their districts didn't want Obamacare and so and so there's really not such a thing
as a blue dog Democrat anymore. And the Democrat Party largely admitted to abandoning blue dog Democrat or Reagan Republican. And what I mean by that is really these conservative Democrats. It's really not a thing anymore. Democrat has become synonymous with the radical left. Now that's not always the case. Certainly, my dad's been a Democrat. He's a Union Democrat. He's far crive from the radical left. A lot of these Union Democrats are nothing but conservatives who vote
for Democrats because they trust Democrats on the issue of labor. They don't trust Republicans in big business. They think that they're going to drive down their wages and hurt their families and so forth, which I can respect. I don't agree, but I respect that. These aren't people that are unhints. These aren't people that hate their country. These aren't people who are against the Second Amendment. These aren't people who are snowflakes. They're not part of the cancel
culture right. They believe in the freedom of religion, the freedom of speech. They embrace America has found that I was raised in a very patriotic home. It's a Union Democrat home. There are still plenty of people rank and file that fall under that umbrella, but in positions of power and in the elected offices, the people who run offices, who run campaigns, who have
the political power, the vast majority of them are a vowed leftists. In fact, if you listen and take notes of the things that they've been caught by people like Project Veritas saying, it's always, it's always that they're more radical than they want the people who vote for them to know. And it's because of reasons like this. It's because this country is still a center right country. It's not a radically left country, and that's where candidate like Gavin
Newsom's gonna have problems. So I got this clip from Van Jones. It's about ninety seconds long. I'll get to that in a minute. But before I do that, my friends, let me remind you Nick Knack Naturals is here to help you crush your vice.

As you listen to this, I mean, Van jones beliefs and ideas are dangerous, But there's actually things I like about Van Jones. I do think. I do think he's deadly wrong on these things, just way off the mark wrong, And he endorses an ideology that has created dictatorships around the world that have killed million,
hundreds of millions of people. So, but that being said, I do think that he's honest in his assessment here. So as you think about the debates, and you think about Bidens as a candidate, you think about this debate that is about to happen on Thursday, and you think, what are the Democrats supposed to do if Biden flops? Can they replace him with somebody? Just listen to this and the people that the Democrat Party has have lost
over time, which is compounding this electoral problem that they have. So this is Van Jones explaining to us. This is called the Milken Institute's Global Conference, by the way, where he's answering this question. But he's explaining a little bit about the Obama coalition that helped elect Obama in twenty eight, twenty eight and twenty twelve and how this is at risk of basically collapsing for Biden today here it is does seem to be appealing to significant numbers and particularly lat
scene the voters, but also Black men. What's going on. The Obama Biden coalition is in trouble. It's in trouble, and I get beat up every time I say it, but you know, it's obviously it's in trouble, and it has to do with a number of things. Number One, the white working class guys left for your campaign in twenty sixteen the Democratic Party, and now black and Latin working class guys are falling along and they don't
have to follow in massive numbers against razor edge stuff. So I mean, let's the vast majority of Black people are going to vote for President Biden, the vast majority of Black women are going to vote for President Biden, the vast majority of Black men are going to vote for preident Biden. But that's not the point. The point is you have a origin that is hurting and uncertain among Black and Latin men as to whether we have a place in this
party. It's not easy to talk about, but there is a sense among a lot of guys that you talk to that they're just tired of being lectured, tired of being wrong, tired of being criticized, tired of being called toxic, tired of, frankly, a lot of other groups getting more out of Biden administration than black books got. So that's his explanation there is for what is happening with this the coalition that helped elect Obama back in twenty two,
thousand and eight and twenty twelve. He's sitting on stage by the way with Kelly and Conway. So when he says your campaign got this vote or portion of this vote in twenty sixteen, this blue collar vote, talking about Trump's twenty sixteen campaign, he's right on that. And so that the problem is is that the rhetoric that is spewed by these devoted leftists who have taken over the Democrat Party in large part, at least the elected offices. They're
the loudest, they have a lot of power. They don't always win. Jamal Bowman just lost his primary in New York in spite of AOC up there putting on a concert or whatever. She was embarrassing what she was doing up there anyway. So this is the reality. And so you bring in a candidate like a Gavin Newsom or even a Bernie Sanders, and these folks that they're already losing to Trump. Now, is that candidacy going to bring in more Will it push more of these folks away? That's a very real problem.
And I appreciate the candor and the transparency here by Van Jones, because I do think that that's this is the calculation. So got to take a break, care of my friends. Sit tight. You're listening to conservative not bitter talk. I'm the man behind the microphone. Here, the benevolent dictator back in just a minute. Here we are in the last segment of this hour of the Todhove Show. I know it's tough. I know it's tough to get to this last segment of the hour. I don't blame you.
I listened sometimes to clips of things and I think, man, oh man, what a lucky, lucky audience that exists out there that listens to this program. But here we are, in the last segment. I want to shift gears yet again talking about something that well, it's being echoed. It's being echoed. That's something you've heard on this program several weeks ago. Is being echoed by an NBA great that I have to conclude his listening to the program. That's the only thing I can conclude is that he has to be
listening to this program. So I'll tell you about that here in just a moment, my friends. But I want to tell you as well about salty Saltea is a product.

I just have fun with this. You know, Rush used to have a segment that well, he would say, see I told you so. That was the name of one of his books. I don't do that because, of course that would be that would be uncouth, my friends. But with that being said, see
I told you so. NBA legend Magic Johnson wais in the Caitlin Clark Angel Reese rivalry is great for the WNBA. Of course we know this, but specifically, if you read the article and I don't have the SoundBite here.
Magic Johnson, who I set on this program sometime sometime ago. His rivalry with Larry Bird in the nineteen eighties, well it started back in nineteen seventy nine when they played one another for the National championship, Magic of course playing for Michigan State in Larry Bird of course playing for Indiana State competing for the National championship. It was a rivalry. I mean, it was a great
rivalry, a great rivalry. And if you remember, or if you've read, I was a tiny fella in those days, so I don't remember. I just have read and familiarized myself with the story. But the background is the NBA was in trouble in those days. The NBA was in big trouble. They have two guys come into the league who have a rivalry, who are both incredible players, arguably both top ten NBA basketball players of all time.
They both are players that people want to watch. Magic Johnson and the showtime era for the Los Angeles Lakers, Larry Bird and his clutch performances and trash talking with the Boston Celtics. It was great for the sport and as a result, I went through this when we talked about Caitlin Clark and Angel
Reese and all that stuff. I don't know a month or so ago, is my guess, but there's a lot of similarities between what happened, how those two helped put the NBA onto to solid ground, how contracts beg to become bigger because more people began to watch the NBA. It became a product that people cared about, connected with, wanted to follow. I talked about
some of those things. I talked about the intensity of the rivalry. I talked about the intensity of the game back in the eighties, where players would I mean, it was a different game than it was today. There'd be fist fights and I don't even know the technicals arose from all of the fist fights, let alone someone getting ejected and endless reviews on the monitor whether somebody hit someone too hard or whatever. The case may be just a different world,
and fans loved it, and fans loved it. But magic is out there. So he said this. Larry and I talking about Bird heightened the NBA's overall popularity. The Lakers and Celtics sold out arenas throughout the league and increased television viewership exponentially. The higher viewership numbers led to NBA to the NBA signing significant larger TV contracts, which then led to the higher salaries for the players. Caitlin and Angel are now doing these same things, selling out arenas
and increasing the viewership. They have taken women's basketball by storm, and with expiring TV deals on the horizon, the WNBA is now in a position to negotiate hire TV contracts, hire TV contracts which then lead to higher salaries. You know, you got the They're doing the same thing basically. So I just wanted to point that out, and I can only conclude after reading those words that Magic Johnson listens to this program. So welcome Magic to the program.
I appreciate it. Guys, have a great day. Thanks so much for listening. We will talk again soon. SDG
