On Wednesday night, President Biden came forth to show proof of life.
He didn’t.
Biden’s speech was supposed to be his valedictory address, his explanation for why he was leaving the race. It was supposed to be similar to Ronald Reagan’s farewell address in which he talked about a shining city on a hill.
The only problem is that Biden is no longer capable of speaking, and he wasn’t willing to admit that he’s no longer capable of speaking or thinking because he wants to remain president through January.
That made this very awkward. Just to recap: It has not even been a month since the June 27 debate that basically ended Biden’s presidential campaign. That debate showed that Biden was non compos mentis, and he was not mentally capable of carrying forward the race. He didn’t quit until his poll numbers dropped. Next was the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Biden’s polls continued to drop. Then, there was the Republican National Convention, where Republicans came together in historic ways around President Trump.
Biden’s polls dropped even further, and Democrat after Democrat began to sound off that Biden should drop out. Then the donors, Barack Obama, and Nancy Pelosi simply pushed the old man off the cliff. On July 21, he announced via X that he would not be running.
And then the media worship began: Biden was a patriot. He went from this terrible, narcissistic old man who wouldn’t leave to “Whoa. He’s amazing!”
Within two days, Kamala Harris secured the nomination with the intervention of the Democratic gods, Obama and Pelosi. On Sunday, Biden said he would give an address on Wednesday night explaining why exactly he dropped out.
So, on Wednesday night, he gave that address, and he answered precisely zero questions. The only question that was answered by the address was whether he is alive. And the answer was: just barely.
WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show
Leading up to the speech, the big question was if Biden would explain why he was dropping out. Was he doing so for health reasons? It was perfectly evident the president is failing. He could not make it through with a teleprompter in front of him. He stumbled over his words.
It was obvious to everyone who was watching that the reason Biden dropped out of the race is that he is in the throes of some form of senility.
But he couldn’t say that because that would betray the reality, which is that he and the media have been lying about it for years. Kamala Harris, his vice president, has been lying about it for years.
He dropped out because he was losing.
But the message he put forth is that this election was too important for him to be in it.
Why did he keep saying that this is all about preservation of democracy?
The fact of the matter is that if Joe Biden wanted the American public to give a referendum on him and his presidency, he could have just stayed in the race. But he did not. He said, “The defense of democracy, which is at stake, I think it’s more important than any title.”
Yet his defense of democracy amounted to a stated desire to rewrite the rules of the Supreme Court, to make clear that the current status of our institutions is no good.
“I believe America is at an inflection point, one of those rare moments in history when the decisions we make now will determine our fate of our nation and the world for decades to come. America is going to have to choose between moving forward or backward, between hope and hate, between unity and division,” he said.
Between unity and division? And if Kamala Harris were rejected, it would be a rejection of honesty, decency, respect, freedom, justice and democracy?
Those are the words that he used. “Honesty”: Kamala Harris is not an honest person. “Decency”: She’s certainly not a decent person. “Respect”: Respect for what? “Freedom”: She is not in favor of freedom from government. “Justice”: By “justice,” Harris means tribal, social justice. “Democracy”: She’s certainly not in favor of the idea that, in the United States, the people rule, as opposed to government bureaucrats and agencies.
If you were an alien, you traveled down to earth, and this is the first speech you saw from President Biden, you would have no idea what in the hell he was talking about. He just kept coming back to the platitude over and over that effectively speaking, democracy is at stake.
He did nothing to actually explain why that was the case or why that necessitated him dropping out. The only reference he made to why he dropped out was to say that it was clear to him he needed to unite his party in this critical endeavor.
So he blamed other people in his party. He basically said in his speech that he was stabbed in the back by his own party and the only way to get his party together in order to run against Trump was for him to step out of the picture. He actually said that his record as president and leadership in the world merited a second term, stating, “I believe my record as president, my leadership in the world, my vision for America’s future all merited a second term, but nothing — nothing — can come in the way of saving our democracy. That includes personal ambition. So, I’ve decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation. That’s the best way to unite our nation.”
He said it was time for new voices, fresher, younger voices, that the time and place is now.
Why wasn’t it that time and place three years ago? Hell, why wasn’t it that time and place four years ago when he was running for president and it was clear that he was in a declining state. Why?
Here is my question: After watching Joe Biden speak, do you think that man has the capacity to be the president of the United States right now, today?
If you do, how? He could not get through a sentence from a televised speech that was supposed to be the apex of his career.
Meanwhile, Harris, Jill, or whoever is allowing him to continue to run the show — because that man is not in charge.
In the end, he said over and over that this is a republic and it would turn into some sort of dictatorship if Donald Trump is elected. He finished by saying, “Remember who we are. We are the United States of America, and there is simply nothing — nothing beyond our capacity when we do it together. So, let’s act together, preserve our democracy.”
That’s the biggest lie of all, that if you vote for Harris, democracy is somehow being preserved, but if you vote for her opponent, democracy will be overthrown.
It’s precisely that lie that leads people to think it is a good idea to take a shot at your rival.
You want to know why there was an assassination attempt against President Trump? When you create a climate in which you say the election of your rival will lead legitimately in real time to the end of the republic, what do you think is going to happen?
The only thing we learned from this speech is that Biden is not technically dead.
