 COVID has taken this year just since the outbreak it's taken more than 100 year look here's the lives It's just it's even you think about it More lives this year than any other year for the past hundred years Nailed it. Oh My god, Joe. What are you doing? Stay in your basement. Don't come out of hiding until November 4th like That was bad Now that was a clip from a speech that Joe Biden gave in Pittsburgh where he responded to the civil unrest the violence and some Attacks that Donald Trump had recently lobbed against him and even though centrists are really happy with this speech that he gave Me not so much because it really shows that he is he's tone deaf, right? He's not really listening to the protesters. He's not listening to Americans And in a way like he walked into numerous traps that Donald Trump set and by saying the things that he said Like he's playing right into Donald Trump's hand and after 2016 like you think that Democrats would be more effective at responding to Donald Trump's attacks or at least know how to brush them off Joe Biden very clearly demonstrated that he doesn't necessarily know how to respond Capably to attacks from Donald Trump. So the first thing he did was condemn the violence the rioting and the looting Take a look. I want to make it absolutely clear something very clear about all of this Riding is not protesting Looting is not protesting Setting fires is not protesting None of this is protesting its lawlessness plain and simple and Those who do it should be prosecuted Violence will not bring change It'll only bring destruction It's wrong in every way. It divides instead of unites Destroyes businesses only hurts the working families that serve the community It makes things worse across the board not better No, it's not what Dr. King or John Lewis taught and it must end Fires are burning and we have a president who fanged the flames rather than fighting the flames But we must not burn We have to build This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country He can't stop the violence because for years. He's fomented it You know, he may believe Mouthing the words law and order makes him strong But his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is Does anyone believe there'll be less violence in America if Donald Trump has reelected We need justice in America. We need safety in America We're facing multiple crises Crises and under Donald Trump have kept multiplying COVID economic devastation unwarranted police violence in bold and white nationalists a Reckoning on race declining faith in the birth and Of the right American future There's no reason why we can't just do so much more than we're doing the common thread The incumbent president who makes things worse not better an incumbent president who shows chaos Rather than providing order an incumbent president who fails in the basic duty of the job Which is to advance the truth that all of us know that we're all born with the right to life All right, we'll stop right there because I don't need to hear any insufferable platitudes We heard enough at the DNC convention, but basically point blank. He says Riding is not protesting looting is not protesting setting fires is not protesting now I am not naive enough to think that Joe Biden would come out and say I am pro rioting pro looting Joe Biden Like he's not gonna say that of course But embedded in that condemnation of looting and rioting that we all expect from him should be at least a Small signal that he understands that people are in the streets because there is real pain that they feel They feel like the system has failed them. So they have no choice. They have nothing left to do So they're just burning this whole system down Riding looting because government isn't listening to them. So what else are they supposed to do? I mean they protest and nobody listens Colin Kaepernick takes a knee and even Democrats like Ruth Bader Ginsburg Condemns him and calls it stupid Obama says that he hopes he realizes how Colin Kaepernick is hurting people so they protest and That's bad, but if they riot and loot and get people to pay attention Then that's still bad. So it's like they're in this lose lose predicament. Nothing. They ever say or do is going to persuade people I mean when they protest they say defund the police Joe Biden responds by saying actually I'm gonna increase funding for the police Well, why do they need more money like for more implicit bias training? Clearly that isn't effective That's not working. So I mean at the end of the day what we saw from him here was just him being Tone deaf and out of touch. This is why people aren't enthusiastic for Joe Biden. He just he doesn't get it He's the wrong person for this moment, but believe it or not. It gets even worse Ask yourself. Do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? Really? I Want to safe America safe from COVID safe from crime and looting safe from racially motivated violence safe from bad cops Let me be crystal clear safe from four more years of Donald Trump I Look at this violence and I see lives and Communities and the dreams of small businesses being destroyed and the opportunity for real progress on the issues of race and police reform and justice being put to the test Donald Trump looks at this violence and he sees a political lifeline Having failed to protect this nation from the virus that has killed more than 180,000 Americans so far Trump post on all caps tweet screaming long order to save his campaign One of his closest political advisors in the White House doesn't even bother to speaking code She just comes out and she says it Quote the more chaos Violence the better it is for Trump's reelection Just think about that This is a sitting president of the United States of America He's supposed to be protecting this country, but instead he's rooting for chaos and violence the simple truth is Donald Trump failed to protect America So now he's trying to scare America So again, he's not necessarily wrong like I don't hate everything that he said there But it's largely tone deaf because rather than just responding to Donald Trump calling you a socialist by saying no I'm not no, uh What you can actually do is try to retake that narrative back right say well You know if caring for Americans makes me a socialist then I will happily own that title I don't have to be a socialist to realize that we need fundamental changes in this country If I'm a socialist for the poor then I guess Donald Trump is a socialist for the rich But I mean Joe Biden can't say any of this because he doesn't believe any of this He doesn't believe in any Structural changes that are substantial. He doesn't believe in this so he has No way of meaningfully responding to these attacks, which is why I said during the primaries it actually be nice It might be an asset to Democrats if they had someone as the nominee Who identified as a socialist because at least then you can attempt to educate people and explain to them What you mean by saying you're a socialist rather than run away from it because just running away from it saying I'm not a socialist like you're not taking back the narrative effectively But I mean Democrats do this all the time They know exactly what Republicans are gonna say and they still don't know how to respond to that same playbook that they've used for decades now but Joe Biden went on to make a point about Donald Trump's bizarre attack because Donald Trump Oddly has been saying all of this violence is happening in Joe Biden's America when you're president So that's illogical. It doesn't make any sense and Joe Biden responded to that But there's still something missing even if I think that most of what he said here. It's pretty spot-on Trump and Pence are running on this and I find it fascinating quote You won't be safe in Joe Biden's America. And what's their proof? The violence we're seeing in Donald Trump's America These are not images of some imagined Joe Biden America in the future These are images of Donald Trump's America today He keeps telling you if only he was president it wouldn't happen if he was president He keeps telling us that he was president. You'd feel safe. Well, he is president whether he knows it or not And it is happening It's getting worse and you know why Because Donald Trump adds fuel to every fire So I'm not sure why he hasn't made this exact point like the moment Trump started saying that all of this violence is Because of Biden's America like that doesn't even make sense. You're the president. So I'm glad that he's finally saying it on top of that He says that violence is getting worse because Donald Trump is fanning the flames. That's accurate. That's correct So most of what he said here is fine, but there's one missing variable that he still doesn't address Why were there riots and looting in Kenosha, Wisconsin? It was peaceful until a police officer shot Jacob Blake in the back Seven times. So you can't just say Trump is the reason why things are the way that they are like you have to speak to the specific Pain of these communities. You are the architect of the crime bill and in response to calls for police to be defunded You are defiant. You're saying I want to increase funding to police departments Like you have to demonstrate that you care And he hasn't done this. He just hasn't been sufficient We get you know more liberal solutions more committees To address the problems more money for the police departments So they can put that towards body cameras and implicit bias training But at the end of the day, I mean we see how brazen police officers are where we've had months Of protests in cities across the country and a police officer still shoots an unarmed black man seven times in the back So if they're gonna do that, you're gonna need more than implicit bias training So you just have to at least express in some way to people You understand the scope of this issue and how big it is and what we need to do to change it But you just you're not doing that. You're not meeting this moment But I want to play one more clip for you because this is the worst thing that we've seen here It doesn't have to be this way And president obama and i were in the white house We had to defend federal property We did it We didn't see it. You didn't see us whipping up fears Around the deployment of secret federal troops We just did our job and the federal property was protected When president obama and i were in office We didn't look at cities as democratic or republican run. These are american cities But trump doesn't seem himself as president for all of america frankly I believe if i were president today the country would be safer and be seen a lot less violence and here's why I have said we must address the issue of racial injustice I've personally spoken to george floyd's family and the jacob blake's family I know their pain And so do you I know the justice they seek and so do you They've told us none of this violence Respects or honors george or jacob I believe we can bring these these these these folks fighting for racial justice to the table I've worked with police in this country for many years I know most cops are good decent people. I know how they risk their lives every time they put that shield on And go out the door And i'm confident I can bring the police to the table as well I'd make sure every mayor and governor had the support they needed from the federal government, but I wouldn't be looking to use the united states military against our own people If I were president my language would be less divisive I'd be looking to lower the temperature in this country not raise it I'd be looking to unite the nation That to me was by far the worst moment from this speech Because the underlying implication of that is that donald trump isn't necessarily wrong for deploying secret police to portland to kidnap people in unmarked vehicles He's just wrong to like scare people after doing it I don't even know what to say about that He says when president obama and i were in the white house, we had to defend federal property We did it. You didn't see us whipping up fears around the deployment of secret federal troops We just did our job and federal property was protected. So in other words, you're telling people in the streets You agree with trump. You just don't agree with the way That he's doing things you'd be less divisive As you try to violently crush protests like that's the message that I get If i'm someone in the streets listening to this like I can't even believe you would say this as the democratic party's nominee This isn't a gotcha to donald trump. This is a gotcha To yourself. It's a self-own Now I do believe that joe biden would in fact be more You know inclusive less divisive than donald trump when it comes to these issues I'm glad that he's in contact with the families of george floyd and jacob blake But again, he doesn't get it like his goal is to bring racial justice advocates and police Together and like let them just talk it out. That's kind of what I got from that and he says, you know Most cops are good except even the quote-unquote good cops are susceptible to a culture Of violence and racism and even if they're a good cop that wants to report police misconduct or racism They're dissuaded from doing that and that's not going to change if you offer a more implicit bias training Like you need to change the system entirely anything short of systemic change isn't going to do the trick Also, how is this going to happen if you're promising to bring both sides to the table and one side not just has More power, but it has powerful unions while funded unions to protect them unions that are institutions that are resistant to change By the way, and you know the other side is fighting the entire system with white supremacy embedded in it Like these are not equal in opposite sides. There's a power imbalance here that you're not grasping Or at least letting us know that you understand How are you going to be different than donald trump? Like how can you assure people that unlike Trump you're going to stop the violence when you don't even really communicate to us that you understand Why it's taking place in the first place understand you can dislike the rioting and the looting but understand None of this would be a thing right now if police officers Weren't killing black americans with impunity like you understand that right like you have to Communicate to us that you get that all the rioting all the looting would not be happening right now if this wasn't an issue That reached a tipping point So, I mean I see this speech from joe biden and I just think This is why nobody's excited to support him right and if he wins it will be because there are enough anti trump voters That were motivated to come out and support him But I mean it just feels like at this point like he's playing at the trump's hands And he doesn't know how to respond to donald trump and as a result. He's kind of fumbling it Like the best thing to do would be hide away until the selection is over Otherwise, like you're gonna keep putting your foot in your mouth And you're gonna make matters worse like I don't know if there's anything you can say to um Make people you know feel more comfort knowing that you'd be president and you do things different when you Just admitted that you kind of agree with donald trump. You just disagree with the way he does things But you agree with the things that he's doing like You can't you can't do that You can't do that. So it's best to just say nothing stay inside until after the selection and Shut up if you're gonna say things like this But I mean apparently, you know, I'm in the minority I guess because centrist seemed to think that he had a lot of like mic drop moments and there were some good moments there I'm not gonna lie and attract from all of it But you know, if you are In the streets right now protesting, are you gonna come away from that speech thinking that joe biden is on your side? I don't know probably not but you know, if you come away from that feeling like he's not on your side Then does that mean you're gonna vote for him? I don't know So it's just um, it feels like you know Democrats are always Snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory and I kind of like got that sense from this speech joe biden Doesn't know what to say He just makes matters worse for himself When you know, you just kind of give trump enough rope to hang himself And you could just win because he's a big enough dumbass to keep saying stupid things But joe biden comes in and tries to like one up down all trump in some ways and it's just It's sad to watch because Democrats are blowing it and I hope that they don't blow it but I mean when you say things like this It's just you can't help but feel hopeless You know, you know this, you know this thing, you're getting nervous man
