A Bunch of Donkeys
Donkey of The Day: Joe Biden
Is America's political system truly democratic, or are we merely pawns in a game run by elites and corporate interests? Join us on "A Bunch of Donkeys" as we dissect Joe Biden's sudden withdrawal from the presidential race amidst concerns about his mental decline, especially highlighted in a recent debate. We'll scrutinize the media's role in shaping public perception and the unsettling influence that corporate interests have on our democratic processes. Additionally, we'll look into the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump and how such an event could ripple through the political landscape. How has the media reacted to Biden's decision, and what does this say about the broader state of American leadership?
In this episode, we also face the frustrations surrounding Biden's potential departure despite robust primary support. Does this withdrawal reflect the will of the people or the machinations of elite power structures? We'll draw parallels between the accountability standards held for corporate leaders and those in political office, questioning why the latter seem to evade similar scrutiny. Finally, we celebrate the strength and resilience of American democracy, urging you to vote and take informed actions to protect the liberties that make our nation unique. Don't miss this crucial conversation on the intricate dynamics influencing our political landscape and the power each of us holds to make a difference.
Welcome everybody. Thank you for joining us on another podcast episode of A Bunch of Donkeys Today. I was not planning on making a podcast episode but in light of the news that has just come out, I wanted to come out and talk about what's going on. You know, I'm kind of undecided. I'll figure it out during this episode. Are we going to assign a Donkey of the day award to this particular gentleman? But without further ado, we are talking about Joe Biden today.
Speaker 1:Now, a couple minutes ago, probably about an hour ago, joe Biden had come out and released a statement that he would no longer be running. Now we've known about this for a while. We've already talked about it on the podcast before, but I think with, obviously, the debate sparking, you know, just a huge outcry from the not even from the public, I'm going to say from the media of what a terrible job Joe Biden did during that debate. Now I've been telling people for years, we've seen it for years, but Joe Biden's mental decline has been there. The news has just not wanted to report on it and they just have not wanted to feed us that information. So we really saw this on the debate stage and then, for whatever reason, some higher-ups or whoever is really pulling the strings, gave the media right after that just the green light to just go in and crucify Joe Biden, and I mean this is crazy. This is absolutely crazy. I'm coming to you as an American right now and I'm going to say unbiased but aren't we concerned that corporate greed, these politicians there are other people calling the shots in our democracy. This is scary. These should be free elections. If I was running for president of the United States or you were running for president of the United States or whatever public office that may be, you and I should be able to come together and we should say, hey, this is what we like about the person, this is what we don't like about the person, and I'm going to make a decision off of that. But instead we're consistently bombarded with different articles in the news that are so swayed to make you think a certain way.
Speaker 1:Obviously, this group of just secretive people behind closed doors saying who they really want and don't want on the ballot. Come on, come on. This is not a free election and that's primarily why I voted for Trump in the first time. Trump ran was. I just liked that he was outside of the box and there was no connection to him as far as any other candidates and all you know, just all of that. That really helped me kind of see that. But that was what was appealing to me is there were no corporate interests. There were no, you know no interests that wanted him president at the time, and so that's why he got my vote then. But this is scary, guys. This is, this is scary.
Speaker 1:I mean I'd like to talk about I don't know form this as a donkey of the day or not, but I would like to talk about Joe Biden and a couple of things that I have seen in the last, you know, probably a couple of weeks since the debate. So obviously we have just just horrible debate. It goes into what? Maybe a week, week and a half, two weeks of just the media crucifying again Joe Biden. Hey, this is why he's not fit to serve. We are now seeing Joe Biden have to come out and defend himself. People have to step up and defend. Well, joe Biden needs to be here. He's going to be our candidate, he's going to run and they're really pushing. Let's stand behind him while slowly, people start trickling out and saying, no, we're not going to vote for or we don't want Biden on our ticket, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So right, we were starting to shift the narrative.
Speaker 1:Now, unfortunately, with last Saturday's attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump. You know, I thought this really played the field. It was going to change the game. I mean that by obviously, this is horrible. We had a would-be assassin try to come out and take a, you know, a presidential candidate out, as well as the former sitting president of the United States. This is going to be huge. And so you know, I think that next day I was like you know, there's no way. You know, obviously that Friday or whatever it was, you know Biden's out, he's going to think about it over the weekend, whatever it was.
Speaker 1:And you know, then it came out, obviously the whole Trump thing, and I was like no, there's no way Joe Biden leaves, there's no way he's going to stick together Unity of the country, right, we need a president that stands firm. His direction is he's going to run. So this is where we're going. We're going to push all that nonsense away. And, of course, the media, since in the past week, has really not talked too much about Joe Biden leaving the race. Now it's started to pop up. I'd probably say Thursday, Friday, saturday. Today is now Sunday, july 21st, and I'm released this episode today. So anyways, don't want to get get the you know timing mixed up on it. But anyways, what I was saying is, you know, we now took this approach of Joe Biden's got COVID, you know, maybe he's got COVID, maybe he doesn't, whatever, maybe he just needed a couple days to process it. I mean, it's a lot of information, but again we start trolling back of. You know is Biden, you know running. He's talking to his. You know his circle, you know all these different things. He's really considering this with the time off. What a joke, what a joke.
Speaker 1:America is right now. If America was attacked today, there's really nothing we could do. You know, we don't have a president that would, you know, really speak for Americans right now, I mean right after the assassination it took. I don't know the time, so I don't want to say it, but it was quite some time for Joe Biden to come out and make a statement. That's not a president. President needs to come out and say this is not acceptable. I'm the leader of the country and I'm not going to put up with this. And hey, I might not be winning right now or whatever, you don't even have to say that but to be able to give that to the Americans. That is what we want. We want a leader that we can stand behind, and I personally do not like Joe Biden.
Speaker 1:I do not like Joe Biden's policies. I do respect the presidency of the United States, so I respect Joe Biden for being our president. I think that you know he has given, you know, a tremendous amount of time to public service. He has done good for the country and he has brought people together. For sure, this is not what that is. I personally just don't like his views on some things, but I think that we have turned this presidency into a joke. It is absolutely a joke. I don't know, I don't know. It's just not the leadership that we need.
Speaker 1:And you know, in the coming days, I mean, guys, there's a lot of people on the left that you know stand behind Joe Biden. They want him. You know we don't want Trump, we don't want this, whatever. I mean, we see that. I mean I saw a little fun poll out on X the other day and it was. You know, who are you voting for Trump, biden or any breathing human being? Now we did see Trump kind of took the lead there, biden was, was last, and then any breathing human being. Well, I mean, if that's the case, why aren't you putting RFK down on any breathing human? I'm not understanding it.
Speaker 1:There are definitely options out there, so you know anybody but Trump, but you can't tell me that you honestly think that Joe Biden is there and he's doing our democracy a favor and he's letting your voice be heard. There are other people behind the curtains pulling the strings, and we've seen that. We've seen that with the press conferences. We've seen how things are crafted. The narrative this is not a guy on a mission to help you as an American, and that's what we need. And if you don't agree with voting with Donald Trump, vote for anybody else. Rfk, vote for him. Put your dog down, put yourself down, but don't let other people tell you who you can and can't vote for. I'm not going to sit here and say anything that you should vote for this person or not but please start asking questions, start figuring out who is behind that curtain. So I want to jump into obviously talking about Joe Biden.
Speaker 1:Today, news came out. He released his letter. I'm going to just look over here at the computer and see the letter, I think that obviously Biden mentions in this letter. I'm sorry, give me a second, I'm just going to pull it up. I thought I had it pulled up but I don't. But you know, there were a couple things that stood out to me.
Speaker 2:Sorry, not prepared, just wanted to roll and get this out to you quickly. Let's see. All right, all right. Okay, bear with me Still coming out.
Speaker 1:Okay. So I think that, yeah, I'm not seeing what I want to see, but I did find the letter Okay. So I think that you know number one and I'm just curious. These are a couple first impressions of this letter coming out. I do think obviously this is Joe Biden's decision. He is the sitting president of the United States. He can make these decisions. I think that he had his hand forced for sure. I think that he really wants to run for president, but they and that is the Democrats cannot win. They are acting like a bunch of donkeys right now. They are coming together and this is a circus, right? You've got a candidate that wants to run for president. He is the sitting president of the United States. You let your candidate run, but there are other people at hand here.
Speaker 1:So my first impression I noticed this looks like a Word document and obviously there there's Joe Biden's signature. I don't really know what Joe Biden's signature looks like. Please let me know. Is this Joe Biden's signature? I don't know. Of course it is, but come on, what's going on here? So we've got this word document. I mean it doesn't have from the office of the president of the United States. It doesn't have anything official that would say hey, this is coming from President Joe Biden.
Speaker 1:Obviously, it looks like this was maybe typed up in duress, maybe maybe somebody else put this together. I don't know, maybe I don't know, so of course, you know. The first thing I think in here is I'm seeing he mentions a Kamala Harris, the vice president, but doesn't endorse her right away for it. Is this something that he refused to do? I spoke on that on another episode that there were some rumors he was going to step back and he was going to refuse to support Harris for the presidency. So he doesn't do that in this letter, which is a little weird, and I'll tell you weird later why. But another thing is I can see and I'm trying to- find the part it's been my blah here.
Speaker 1:You know I'm not going to speak on resigning. I don't think that he should be president. I do think he should have stepped down a long time ago. But you know we're a couple of months away from the election. I think that, if you know, if he can't serve, he absolutely needs to step down. But I mean, I think what a mess it would be if that transition happened.
Speaker 2:Let's see, I'm trying to find the part. I'm sorry, I don't have my glasses on so I'm kind of struggling on seeing this and don't leave me because I'm getting to a good point right now, but anyways, he yeah, I can't find it but he mentions. Oh, my goodness, I am so off track right now. Sorry guys, please bear with me. My internet is now chain.
Speaker 1:That's what I get for coming in, just OK so I think, for you know, obviously in the letter and I wanted to get you the exact words, so go look at the letter, pull the exact words. But Joe Biden's pretty much speaks for the. You know the sake of democracy and you know, obviously, if you're dropping out of the race and you have upwards of 80 percent of the primary vote that they're about to go to at their convention, you have that vote. The Americans, american citizens, want you as their candidate. You ran out there. You said, hey, I can be president of the United States. You ran a campaign, you locked everybody else out from running and now you're getting close to the end of this election, where we are getting into the actual election and, for the sake of democracy, you are pulling out.
Speaker 1:It is not the sake of democracy for you to pull out. You need to see this through Now. If I can't win, then somebody else needs to step up. I'm just a little confused by that. A little confused that the American people want you to be their presidential candidate and you are backing out and you committed to being their candidate. I don't think we're doing it for democracy. I think that there are people behind the scenes pulling the strings that are saying we, as Democrats, cannot win this and we need to try to put somebody else in. So it's really not what the American people want. It's what these higher ups and these elites want. It's the corporate media putting out nonsense for you to consume. It's these elite Democrats that are making these decisions and these billion-dollar donors that are pulling the strings. So, please, america, wake up. You don't have to vote for Trump, but figure out somebody else that you would like to vote for, or let your voice be heard that this is not OK. Let the Democrats lose this election so then next time they can come back and they can say look, we really need to put a quality person here and we're not going to listen to these billionaires or the corporate media. We need to break this process. This needs to stop now. We are too far into this.
Speaker 1:I mean, over the last couple years with Trump being president, we saw impeachments, we saw investigations. We just saw the media rail him. How good of a job could a president do? Support the president. We come in and we look at you know, look at, obviously, after he's gone for a while, biden's there. We're crucifying Biden. I mean, I get, there's always going to be. You know some things here and there with Biden, but these presidents can't do their job. You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1:You know what your track record is, but if you, you know you work at a company where you've got a CEO, obviously you want somebody that is that is prime there, right? So you go to work for Coca-Cola, pepsi, any of these companies. They have a board of directors. The board of directors nominates somebody that they want in there and they hire them and they have to meet set standards to keep their jobs and, of course, there is a nice pay package for them, there are incentives. But if you do not perform, you are no longer that CEO. They're not picking an 80-year-old CEO to be there. You know they're putting out these people that have the fight in them that can really do better for that company.
Speaker 1:Why do we not treat America like a business? We are the board of directors voting for somebody that we think is going to run America the right way, but this corporate media, these billionaires, they get in the way and they tell you who you can and cannot vote for. It's scary. So, guys, I again mentioned I don't know if I want Joe Biden as the donkey of the day today. I mean I can respect him as a sitting United States president. I can respect that he has dedicated so much time to America.
Speaker 1:I don't believe in certain things. I don't think he is. You know, a lot of people say he's a bad guy. I don't believe in certain things. I don't think he is. You know, a lot of people say he's a bad guy. I don't think Joe Biden's a bad guy. I think he's a decent guy. I think he's got great intentions. I think he's, you know, has definitely been a puppet for a while. I don't know when that started, but I mean, if you look at the story of Biden, he's done great, you know great things.
Speaker 1:So Dubbing him the donkey of the day, I mean I feel like I'm I don't know, I feel like I don't want to do that because of that. But on the flip side, I mean the first donkey of the day I did was to the Secret Service director and I dubbed her the donkey for being an American essentially lying to Americans. And I feel like at this point, like what are these politicians doing? They're lying. We can clearly see that they are lying.
Speaker 1:Joe Biden has gone on after the debate saying, hey, this is what I'm doing. I'm running in the presidential election and then to bow out. Well, where are you lying to Americans? And again, and before I get to my point, I wanted to bring this up too. I was looking at the president's ex and it pops up and you can see where.
Speaker 1:Remember I mentioned in that letter it does not endorse. I need to possibly take a break for a second, because I need to. I'm going to have to verify something, but something just popped up. But let me get back to that letter. So Biden does not. Sorry, this news is interesting if this is real. So Biden doesn't endorse Harris. But five minutes, ten minutes go by after that letter has been released, his Twitter feed endorses Kamala Harris as the next president. Why was that not in the, this letter, with such a monumental decision of I'm no longer going to run? Is somebody else pulling the strings? Did he kind of out of duress, say I'm not, there's no way, I'm going to do that? And then they had to put that out later, kind of against him? Maybe they're whoever's, you know, essentially pulling the strings.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know okay bear with me, I don't want to speak on this too much. I feel like this is its own other episode coming up. If that's the case, no, okay, so this looks like a little bit of misinformation. If this ends up, you know, turning into anything I will, I will come back and address this. But anyways, guys, I really appreciate you being here. You know, donkey of the day. I'm going to give it to him. I'm going to give Joe Biden donkey of the day.
Speaker 1:I am dubbing you with our prestigious award of donkey of the day for allowing Americans to believe you were there for them for so long. Again, you were with Americans, but coming to this cycle right now, with this presidential cycle, we knew that you could not be fit for a presidency. We knew you should not have been running. You should have not sought re-election months ago, so legitimate contenders could have been put in place here. But were you just you just too blind to see that? You know that you shouldn't be there, or did you want to hold on to power? What and what is the? What is the case? But from the outsider looking in, I am dubbing you donkey of the day today, joe Biden, for turning your back on Americans and not following through with a promise you made. You have made Americans a promise that you would run for them and you're not giving those Americans an opportunity to vote for you. It's very sad. I don't know what it's going to take for us to wake up. I appreciate your service, I appreciate you being the president of the United States, but unacceptable, unacceptable to do this to the American people.
Speaker 1:All right, guys, thanks for joining me on our podcast, a Bunch of Donkeys Again relatively new podcast. I am not a professional podcaster and don't know what I am doing, but I got a microphone and a camera. I am not a professional podcaster and don't know what I am doing, but I got a microphone and a camera and I want to come and talk to you about real, just the real arena of where America is. I mean, I've said this, I've said this before, but America, we are a sitcom. Right now, god forbid, something happens to our country. There's a terrorist attack, something happens, somebody makes a move on America.
Speaker 1:Right now, we are so weak and we need to be stronger. You know these. You guys can go out, you can, you can dance in the street, you can do whatever you want, you can say what you want, and that is because we have America. We have an America where we, where we have built that, we are not some of these countries. I can't get on and I can't say what I'm saying right now. What a world to live in. But that is a world that is out there, but not in America. So stand up guys, ask questions, please ask questions. Who are you voting for? And your vote does matter? It truly does, but don't let other people pull the strings for you. Anyways, have a good day everybody. We'll see you next time. On the next A Bunch of Donkeys.
