"Biden's Decline Is Getting Worse" - Why He Needs To Pull Out Of The 2024 Race | Robert Kennedy Jr
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
Robert Kennedy Jr. argues that President Biden's cognitive decline has reached a critical point, making his continued candidacy in 2024 dangerous for national security and democratic stability. He emphasizes that while polls show Americans desire to vote for him out of fear rather than hope due to concerns about Trump or the Republican Party taking over, he believes Kennedy can win if voters overcome this hesitation. Citing a massive August poll conducted by Zby with 26,000 respondents—ten times larger than typical surveys like those from Gallup or Harvard—the transcript highlights that in head-to-head matchups, Kennedy defeats Biden decisively across thirty-nine states and Trump narrowly. However, the data suggests that if Kennedy remains on the ballot, he actually worsens Biden's prospects by splitting votes; conversely, even without Kennedy running, Biden is projected to lose additional swing states like Maine and Virginia compared to a two-candidate race where only Trump opposes him. The discussion shifts to strategic blunders made by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which Kennedy criticizes for betting entirely on President Biden despite his evident cognitive deficits rather than selecting a stronger primary candidate capable of defeating Donald Trump. He draws parallels between current geopolitical tensions and historical nuclear crises, noting that Russia recently fired missiles near Cuba while possessing superior defensive capabilities and significantly more warheads. According to Pentagon reports mentioned in the conversation, a potential nuclear exchange could result in ninety million American deaths within twenty-four hours alone. Kennedy questions whether President Biden is mentally capable of making life-or-death decisions during such emergencies, describing scenarios where he would need to authorize retaliation against incoming missiles while being rushed through tunnels by Secret Service agents, suggesting that an impaired leader poses an unacceptable liability given the stakes involving global security and future generations. Kennedy further addresses two major variables influencing the election: the outcome of Trump's conviction trial and the shifting public perception regarding Biden's mental state. He asserts his belief that a conviction would paradoxically help Trump by galvanizing support, citing how Donald Trump surged fifteen points behind former President Joe Santis immediately after lawsuits were filed against him. The transcript also touches on the erosion of Kennedy's own credibility due to memes mocking his cognitive issues and the mainstream media's cynical stance toward Biden, with some outlets seemingly hoping for a re-election solely as a figurehead while others admit they are losing the cultural battle by swapping out candidates. Despite these challenges, Kennedy maintains that replacing Biden with an unknown entity might offer Democrats a better chance than sticking with their current choice or accepting Trump's presidency under any circumstances. Central to Kennedy's platform is his fierce opposition to reckless fiscal policies pursued by both major parties, identifying debt management as the single most important issue for voters alongside concerns about cognitive impairment in leadership. He accuses Donald Trump of running up an eight trillion dollar deficit during four years despite promises to balance the budget and criticizes Biden for adding a trillion dollars every ninety days through programs like universal student loan forgiveness, which he views as short-sighted rather than patriotic. Kennedy argues that neither candidate is addressing the national debt responsibly, with both engaging in what he describes as irresponsible money printing strategies that threaten long-term economic stability. Ultimately, his conclusion is clear: given President Biden's cognitive decline and fiscal recklessness by either party leader, voters should not support him or Trump but instead recognize that only a viable alternative like Kennedy can prevent catastrophic outcomes for the country.

a lot of people think that it is
impossible for you to win this election
that you are a
spoiler what are your best kill shots
for Trump and
Biden you mean how do I win yeah at a
policy level what do you have to
convince the American people of to open
their eyes and see that should just
we're done there it is vote for me well
I have I mean what what I need to
convince people of is that I can
win because if can win if they think I
can win that I will win because they all
the polls show that they want to vote
for me but they're not voting for me out
of fear because they think if they vote
for
me Trump Biden's gonna get elected and
the Republic's goingon to be over or
Trump's gonna get elected but if you you
know in terms of
favorability um I I beat both of them in
every
poll um in terms of you know the people
who the number of Americans who want to
vote who want to vote for me and so if
they all like you so much they what is
it that they don't believe that you
can't get enough other they don't
believe that I can get enough votes to
win based on what polls so they're
seeing a poll that's well no I mean if
you if you look at a regular poll that's
a three-way race between me Biden and
Trump I'm going to get around 15 or 16%
you know the the high ones 27% the low
ones 10%
% um and you know one thing that I only
need to get to 34% to win it's a third
three-way
race um but you know people think oh he
can't get there so therefore voting for
him is throwing away my vote so I have
to vote for Trump or Biden to keep the
other guy in and they're voting out of
fear whereas I need them to vote out of
Hope now here's kind of the good news is
that and a head head race and this is
every poll that's been done on this
issue but the biggest poll is this augy
poll which is the the most accurate poll
that's been done this entire race
because it's 26,000 people it's 10 times
the the the typical poll usual polls by
gnip gallab Harvard Harris New York
Times SI are usually about a, to 2200
people zby did a poll 50 say 26,000 so
more than 10 times the typical poll and
it has a margin of error of almost zero
and and what they they asked a question
that is RAR
asked in a head-to-head race me against
Biden who wins well I win in a landslide
I win 39 states he wins 11 W and a
head-to-head raise me against Trump who
wins I win but much narrower only about
three or four electoral votes but I
still win Biden can't win no matter
whether I'm in the race or not if I stay
in the
race I'm Biden loses if I get out of the
race he loses worse he loses two extra
States Maine and
Virginia so you know B Biden is the
spoiler because the definition of the
spoiler is somebody who cannot win and
and is disrupting the expectations of
somebody who can well I can win he can't
so I'm not a spoiler he's the spoiler
well so it's interesting from the time
that you came on my radar until now uh
my sense of the playing field has
changed pretty dramatically so talk to
me about there's there's two wild cards
on the table as far as I'm concerned uh
what happens with Trump's conviction do
swing voters say no I just can't I can't
do it or does that actually help him and
then Biden is from a cognitive decline
standpoint is just getting memed so hard
there's no Universe in which that isn't
having an impact and of course
everybody's starting to prognosticate
that they're going to pull a Switcheroo
and swap him out with somebody um if you
can comment on those two things I'd love
to hear it I you know my
feeling and I had this feeling prior to
Trump's conviction that if he gets
convicted it's going to help
him and you know he was uh
behind uh to santis very early
on and as soon as they file the lawsuits
against him he pulled he was 15 points
behind S as soon as they filed the
lawsuits he pulled ahead the Democrats
are stupid the DNC is a very stupid
group of people and they they make very
very big strategic blunders and they you
know one of their strategic
blunders was to keep was to bet all of
their chips on President Biden and not
just have a primary where they chose the
best candidate to beat Donald Trump
instead they they um they chose a
candidate who has all of these very very
clear cognitive deficits and you know
Americans you look at president bid I
worry you know every time I I see him on
TV I think all of us you know it's like
watching your five-year-old play on a
jungle gym for the first time you're
you're like oh my God I hope you know he
doesn't fall or
something but the the bad part of it
is if you look at this this man and you
know we're right closer now to nuclear
exchange than at any time since
1962 and you know the the Russians today
fired I think two or three missiles off
the shore of
Cuba and and they're they're talking
about nuclear war and the Russians have
2500 more weapons than we do they have
better
defensive weapons than we do on
the latest Pentagon report show that if
in a nuclear exchange that we would lose
90 million Americans within the first 24
hours and 90 million over six months
after nuclear exchange you know so it's
just and you don't have anybody in the
White House who seems to be thinking
this through it's like a bunch of it's
Tony blinkin who was on stage in Kiev
the other night playing a guitar at a
concert while 500,000 kids are dying you
know down the
street and he's in a rock concert in the
end he stands up like the hero and says
we will never abandon
Ukraine these are there no there no
adults in the room and you and then you
say President Biden is the guy who has
the football he has to make the call
they wake them up at 3:00 in the morning
you have six minutes to make the call
six minutes to decide whether to
retaliate to send the missiles up and
during that six minutes he's being
pushed by six Secret Service men through
a hallway at at as fast as he can go you
know through one of the the tunnels
below the White House which I've been
in and they're pushing him to the
bunker so you know is this he has to
make a call that's going to affect all
of our children all of humanity and you
know don't you want somebody who's on
the ball and who's thinking this through
and
who's uh you know just not cognitively
impaired to do that do you think he's
such a liability to the DNC that they'll
replace him I don't know I I don't make
those kind of predictions because I have
no idea what they're what they're doing
now is seems irrational and crazy to
me every stuff they've
made it seems crazy to me well I know
you hate making these kind of
predictions I'll make one attempt to get
you on my team here so we started with a
quote from your very famous Uncle uh who
was trying to explain the importance of
being able to think from your opponent's
standpoint yeah and so look when you
predict the future you're going to be
wrong when you live by the crystal ball
you end up eating glass like I totally
understand that you end up being you end
up eating glass yeah okay I like it so
yeah uh so that I understand but what
and and I'll go first so that if we end
up looking ridiculous fair enough um I
think Biden has from and I'm obviously
of a certain generation I get my
information in a certain way so I just
see the memes uh the meme energy has
shifted and seeing the mainstream media
shift I one of two paes before us either
they are so cynical that they want him
to get
reelected and they want him to get
reelected so that he's just a face and
that they're whoever they are are
controlling everything everything or
they're like woo we we're now losing the
meme battle um even the people that were
with us before are now mocking us uh
we're going to have to swap out and that
that has been going around enough that
as long as they swap him out with
somebody that is an already known entity
I think then they um they would have a
shot they they'd have a better shot for
sure from where I'm sitting because I
can't like the the one thing I'll just
say I cannot vote for somebody that has
that level of cognitive
were you going to vote for him if he uh
if he didn't have that level of
cognitive
decline I would then investigate his
policies because he has cognitive
decline I Ruled him out okay so uh I
would have been open to it yes so I was
um I my big hot button thing there's two
my the thing that comes the closest to
my single uh issue voter is the debt and
how we treat that uh but both Trump and
Biden are Reckless with printing money
Reckless just they both Trump in four
years he came in and said he was going
to balance the budget and then in four
years he ran up8 trillion he spent $8
trillion doll which is more than every
president from George Washington to
George W bush 283 years of
History President Biden is not going to
beat him if he stays on track he's
running up a trillion dollars every
night 90 days adding a trillion dollars
and neither of them are going to are
going to deal with it you know it's
really it's so selfish and it's so
shortsighted and so
insane and yet you know president bid
just uh you know he's bring money and
you know trying to to use it to get you
know to buy the election essentially you
know giving these new programs that are
Wonder to you know forgive all student
debt you know I think student debts a
crisis and I have a plan for dealing
with it but just forgiving it all is
just a way of adding the debt that he's
going to land on those kids um and uh
you know our country it's
not it's not patriotism it's something
else
