I'm happy to have you. I look, I got to move on from the Biden speech, I guess. I still have a lot to say, though.

And I do want to make one more point.

To be somewhat repetitive, Biden gives a speech on the Thursday night before Labor Day as college football is kicking off,

including with two of the popular college football teams in Pennsylvania,

and he gives this address. He clearly wanted it to be talked about. He did not want it to be

covered at the time. The major national networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox News, where most people

were watching television outside of ESPN and the college football shows. They didn't cover it. Only CNN.

And MSNBC really gave it airtime plus C-SPAN. So it wasn't very well seen.

He's already walked back calling Republicans a threat to democracy today in the last 30 minutes

now saying he didn't mean it. But there's something

else here. One of the things that Joe Biden did that I think is really problematic is he

didn't stop with MAGA Republicans. And anyone who thinks he did is deeply disingenuous.

He went beyond that.

And he suggested that pro-lifers are a threat to democracy.

He essentially said that if you don't agree with Democrats on these sorts of issues,

that you are a threat to democracy.

And that's part of the problem here.
