TRANSCRIPT
 Let's say it's the end of the election. Democrats have lost and they're rifling through the last 12 months trying to see what was the cause. Who's to blame if Democrats lose in November?

I think people will blame Biden.

A couple things here, Biden for not deciding two years ago what he decided last week. And I think that's really, really significant. The headwinds were strong, but headwinds are strong everywhere. Which brings us to Biden's legacy. If the Democrats win, then Biden's legacy stands. If Kamala Harris loses, then Biden becomes a failed one-term president and Trump comes in and will dismantle everything that he did.

And that will be the end. So he, he, he will be in the same category as Jimmy Carter and that'll be it.
