And the good afternoon by now, the entire world knows what happened. And it wasn't pretty. President Biden repeatedly froze and misspoke during the debate with former President Donald Trump last afternoon, last night I should say yesterday afternoon, and yesterday evening. And this afternoon, Team Biden is in damage control mode. But as I have repeatedly said, you might as well swear Trump in now. The election is over, it is over. And in an energetic speech, Biden in North Carolina, as we speak, seeking to reassure Democrats. But acknowledging, I quote, don't debate as well as I used to. Dominic Carter here with you, and in just a moment I will chat live with the New York State Conservative Party Chair Jerry Kasar. But alarm bells are going off in the Democratic Party, less than four months before the general election. And so, Biden at a rally in North Carolina, just a short time ago, and former President Trump is in Virginia. But this is what Biden has to say. >> I don't walk as easy as I used to. I don't speak as smoothly as I used to. I don't debate as well as I used to. But I know what I do know. I know how to tell the truth. >> [APPLAUSE] >> I know, I know, I know right from wrong. >> [APPLAUSE] >> But I know how to do this job. I know how to get things done. I know like millions of Americans know, when you get knocked down, you get back up. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Indeed, when you fall in life, when you get knocked down, you get back up. But Mr. President, it's over. Very energetic today, you should have had that same energy last night. It is over for Nito. Even if you had a good debate performance, Trump is still going to win. You might as well swear the man in right now. We are joined live by Jerry Cassar, the New York State Conservative Party Chairman. Mr. Chair, could you believe what you were watching last night? >> I could believe it because I want to be quite direct with you, Dominic. That was a train you could see coming from down the tracks five miles away. The fact that leadership in the Democratic Party and in the White House have allowed the charade to go on for month after month is a disgrace. I would call it political malpractice, but it is actually an action against the American people. Last night's debate was for an election for an individual who was going to be the president for the next four years. We came away last night not believing he could be the president for the next four minutes. Scary, very scary for everyone. And as you said earlier in your comments, what are the people around the leadership around the world saying as they see this? Earlier today, Congress member from California made a comment to the New York Times congressional correspondent indicating that they had a team in place that helps to run the government. That was an incredible admission. Incredible admission of what this Democratic Party in this nation has come down to. The House of Representatives needs to initiate a new investigation about what apparently some of their colleagues have been doing to keep the American people out of the information center of what is actually going on at the White House. It's a charade. I'm going to say this to you. Jill Biden needs to make a decision very soon that she is not going to be running for reelection for president because that probably is who's really running the country right now. Fair enough, Mr. Chair, and we are chatting live with Jerry Cassar. Please stand by for a moment. And it's just coming into us. The Supreme Court has rejected Steve Bannon's effort to stay out of prison. We are getting the details as we speak, folks, and I'll have an update in just a few minutes. But again, the Supreme Court has decided that they're not going to block Mr. Bannon from going to prison. We'll have updates on that in this program and throughout the evening. Again, Steve Bannon, the Supreme Court is not blocking the move for him to go to prison. And so it looks like that is indeed what is going to happen. And we are chatting with Jerry Cassar, the New York State Conservative Party Chairman. So, Mr. Chair, you just mentioned First Lady Jill Biden. Why did you mention her? Of course, in my opinion, she is probably pulling more of the strings and more of the being more of the puppeteer here than she is probably being given credit for. I believe that she has the wife of a president that clearly is not competent, that she has been a major role player in keeping him in this race. I mean, we heard a little earlier today about a speech he's been given. You know what? I do believe he still has the ability to read a script, but running a country is not about reading a script. She knows how to put a piece of paper in front of him. What about when they cannot, when she can't do that, like last night? And I do feel that she is the decision-maker on whether he stays or whether he goes. At your job, do you ever have to deal with a nose roller? How about a snub pulley? Well, if you're installing a new conveyor belt system, dealing with the different components can sound like you're speaking a foreign language. Luckily, you've got a team ready to help.

So this afternoon in North Carolina, it seems almost like night and day. Last night, we saw a bad president Biden. It was embarrassing. And today, it seems like he's energetic, full of energy and fire and ready to go. How do you explain the two? Well, I mean, sometimes for an elderly person, their daytime activities are a little better than their evening activities. I can also say just to you that last night, it was before our eyes, and that was an interactive event. To be honest with you, I kind of felt that the highlight for Biden last night was when they went to commercial. That's so bad it got. You know, I mean, it was just incredible. He can still read a script. And I, you know, maybe there's maybe there is something to what President Trump says relating to him being boosted up in different ways before he goes out and, you know, plays that acting role. The Democratic Party for some time has been attempting to want you and me to believe that what we see before our eyes is not the reality. There's just no way last night they could get away with that, which really means that everything we have been seeing before our eyes is a reality. And I don't know if you could go back four months, five months, six months, or nine months, but it's been a long time where you and I, and everyone that's listening, has been seeing an individual with the title of President that is not even close to up to the role. I mean, that's just my general take. I was not surprised, but incredibly disturbed by last night. And what did you make? And folks, we're about to begin with your telephone calls in a few minutes, 808489222, 808489222. Mr. Cassar, New York State Conservative Party Chair, what did you make of President Biden's performance? I thought he was masterful. He was disciplined. President Trump, President Trump, excuse me, excuse me, thank you, thank you for the correction there. That's a big mistake there. I mean, I think your whole audience understood. I just, yes. And thank you. Thank you, President Trump, President Trump, his performance was masterful. He did not pile on when, when, when Biden was in trouble. The only thing that he said, the only thing that he said, I want you to listen to this, I want you to listen to this. This was the only time when Mr. Trump referred to the gaffes that, that President Biden was making. Border Patrol and more asylum officers. No, no, that's the, that's, that's the wrong, sound bite. We're looking for number two, number two. So can we please play number two? Okay. Okay. So that's the wrong one. So Mr. Chair, what did you make of President Trump his performance? I mean, he presented, he presented a clear vision for the future of America. And that's because he has a clear vision for the future of America. I mean, he's not generally a calm type individual as we all learn. He's animated for the country. And I do feel there were times of the last night where I felt watching President Trump that he felt very, this is my view, that he felt bad for just how out of the lack of ability that Biden has and showed last night to be the president of the United States. I mean, they have not been on the same stage together really in a very, very long time. And to see the two together was a shock to, I think, a lot of Americans. President Trump comes across as a strong, knowledgeable leader. He can speak about issue after issue, a variety of issues, and he has a plan. And that's the other thing, he has a plan. You feel when you're listening to President Trump, that America will be led. And when you're speaking and when he's talking about international affairs and the tariffs and how he's, he's very clear. He's very clear. And I do believe the economy strongly, strongly benefits from a change in leadership here. And here's the other thing. You know, they obviously call both of them president because they both deserve this president. They both have had the experience of that role. So there's no on the job training for President Trump. And he shows it. He shows that he could pick up on day one and run this country without any learning curve. And we should also appreciate the value that that gives us. Fair enough. Is there any way in wrapping this up, Mr. Chair, Jerry Cassar, the New York State Conservative Party chair? Is there any way that that Biden can finish this race? I just don't see it. What do you think? I totally agree with you. I don't know how he can read. I agree with you. I certainly feel that last night was in a reminder to all Americans that he's not up to the job. And that's, to me, they should be really looking at the 25th amendment to activate that, which I know Speaker Johnson mentioned today. And that's not an issue that that's a governmental issue of not running for reelection. That's a governmental issue of whether you can continue to be president, you know, three weeks from now. That's how, so to your question, I agree to 25th amendment should be exercised here, let alone him thinking he's going to be on the November ballot. Fair enough. Fair enough. You make a very good point there. You know, there were critics that tried to raise the same issue to Trump as it relates to former President Trump during his tenure. And look, America is turning back to Trump. Just look at the polling numbers. You know, you and I could go on and on and on as to the disaster for the Democrats at last night's debate. But for now, we have to end it here. Jerry Cassar, the New York State Conservative Party Chairman, thank you so much for joining us live. You are very welcome. Thank you. And I look forward to chatting with you in the future.
