00:00I'm going to now talk about President Joe Biden, who is going to go down in history

00:05as one of the best presidents America has ever had.

00:09His selfless act this weekend reminds me of what George Washington did when he voluntarily

00:14gave up reelection and put country first.

00:18If you remember, four years ago, the Biden-Harris administration inherited a country that was

00:23crippled by the pandemic, and they turned it around.

00:26The Biden-Harris administration ushered in record job growth, the lowest sustained unemployment

00:32rate in over 50 years, and a stock market that is setting record highs.

00:37If you have an education savings plan or a retirement account, your accounts are higher

00:42now than they were four years ago.

00:45Thank you, Joe Biden.

00:47In contrast, we have Republicans who want to jam down Trump's Project 2025 on the American

00:53people.

00:54It is an extreme takeover of government and of your life by radical Republicans.

01:00They want to ban abortion.

01:02They want to control your education.

01:03They even want to do totally silly things like get rid of the National Weather Service.

01:10So what are we going to have in its place?

01:11Just people guessing what the weather is going to be.

01:13This is a dangerous document.

01:15If you look at a Navigator poll that came out today, about one in 10 Americans now view

01:20Project 2025 favorably.

01:23It's now about as popular as bone spurs, but it's far more dangerous.

01:28It is time for the American people to wake up, read this document, and then vote accordingly

01:33in November.
