play00:00

all right Alexander let's talk about

play00:01

what is happening in the US what is

play00:05

going on at the Republican convention uh

play00:09

JD Vance has accepted the

play00:14

uh the offer to to be Trump's uh running

play00:18

mate to become uh potentially to become

play00:20

Vice President of the United

play00:22

States and it looks like uh the

play00:24

Republican party

play00:27

is is coalescing around uh Trump's

play00:31

candidacy at the same time it looks like

play00:34

the Democrat Party is once again turning

play00:38

on Biden

play00:40

actually what's what's his name van

play00:42

Jones at CNN even said as much he said

play00:45

that the Republicans are uh are sticking

play00:48

with Trump they're getting behind Trump

play00:50

their support is growing while the

play00:53

Democrat support of Biden

play00:56

is is uh is falling that was what vano

play01:00

pretty much said actually he was talking

play01:02

about the C and the virus and stuff like

play01:04

that with with Biden but the the point

play01:07

is clear that the that the Democrats are

play01:10

once again they're they're losing their

play01:12

belief in Biden while the Republicans

play01:15

are uh are believing very much in in

play01:17

Trump so what are your thoughts on

play01:19

everything that is happening in uh in

play01:21

the United States and at the Republican

play01:23

National Convention well I think the

play01:26

first thing to say is that Donald Trump

play01:28

um has shown not only that he's an

play01:30

astute politician but that he's now an

play01:32

experienced one um that he was astute

play01:35

was obvious to me all the way back in

play01:37

2015 all you had to do was follow his

play01:40

interviews see the way in which he was

play01:42

able to talk to people um the way in

play01:46

which he was dis able to discover the

play01:49

themes the the concerns of the American

play01:51

people and talk to them um so he always

play01:54

had that skill but now he has certainly

play01:57

um after a long period of learning

play02:00

started to acquire political experience

play02:03

and not just acquire political

play02:05

experience but he has political

play02:08

experience and the kind of political nae

play02:12

and skills that a political leader needs

play02:16

in order to succeed and

play02:19

importantly so far um he is not

play02:22

compromising on his program and you can

play02:26

see this by the steps that he's taken in

play02:29

the Republican convention up to this

play02:32

point firstly he has put aside his

play02:36

speech the speech that he was going to

play02:38

make which is going to be a massive

play02:39

attack on Biden he's now going to be the

play02:43

UN the unity candidate he's capitalizing

play02:46

in other words on the assassination

play02:49

attempt and the way in which he

play02:51

responded to it he seems to understand

play02:54

that this is the moment to seize the

play02:55

hour to project himself as the strong

play02:58

leader to the American people

play03:00

and that is intelligent politics it is

play03:06

what the French President sh deal did

play03:09

for example directly after an

play03:12

assassination attempt on him in the

play03:16

1960s which toal similarly used to unite

play03:20

France and his party behind him so I

play03:25

found that interesting but the other

play03:27

thing is he made the correct decision as

play03:30

to his pick of Vice

play03:32

President he decided to go for JD Vance

play03:36

there were lots of rumors and

play03:37

speculations and theories that Trump

play03:40

would um reach out to the Rhinos I'm

play03:46

going to call them rhinos The McConnell

play03:48

Wing that he'd go for one of the Neons

play03:51

there was talk that it might be Marco

play03:53

Rubio there's even talk that it might be

play03:55

Nikki Haley and instead um Trump

play04:00

went for the person that his electoral

play04:04

supporters his electoral base wanted and

play04:08

he picked JD Vance and he didn't just

play04:12

pick JD Vance but he managed to unite

play04:16

the entire Republican party behind him

play04:19

one of the most interesting things that

play04:21

I saw in the Republican convention was

play04:25

um the complete isolation of Mitch

play04:28

McConnell now there is this moment when

play04:31

McConnell turns up he's actually booed

play04:34

at one point in the convention he is now

play04:37

no longer in any conceivable shape or

play04:40

form the leader of the Republican party

play04:43

uh the dominant leading figure in the

play04:46

Republican party that has passed to

play04:49

Trump he's leared the skills of how to

play04:52

unite the party behind him he has United

play04:55

the party behind him he has won this the

play04:58

war with the

play05:00

know and he has

play05:02

Consolidated control of the UK uh

play05:05

control of the party and projected

play05:08

himself as the strong leader who's going

play05:11

to lead the American people and he's

play05:13

done that by picking JD Vance and JD

play05:17

Vance just to reiterate a point which um

play05:20

I've made in other places including on

play05:22

one on our latest live live stream JD

play05:26

Vance won't just be Trump's

play05:30

vice president um Trump can only serve

play05:34

one term because he's already served

play05:37

another so JD Vance as vice president is

play05:42

now also in effect Trump's chosen

play05:46

successor and that further

play05:50

consolidates um Trump's control because

play05:54

as vice president it will be very very

play05:57

difficult for republicans The McConnell

play06:00

ites to prevent uh Vance becoming the

play06:05

Republican party's nominee in the 2028

play06:09

election which already you sense Trump

play06:13

is thinking about so he's become a much

play06:16

more experienced politician he retains

play06:18

all his political skills all his

play06:20

previous political skills he's United

play06:24

the party behind him and he's now

play06:26

looking I have to say this um an

play06:29

exception strong candidate and except an

play06:32

exceptionally strong political force and

play06:36

I understand that the polling data is

play06:41

starting to reflect that and there are

play06:45

rumors that the polling

play06:47

data the private polling data being

play06:51

received by the various parties

play06:53

including by the Democrats is pointing

play06:58

now clearly to a decisive win for Trump

play07:02

in the Electoral College in other words

play07:05

not just a a win like the one he

play07:08

achieved in 2016 but a decisive win um

play07:12

the entire dial of American politics is

play07:16

Shifting towards him and I think this is

play07:18

creating more and more Panic within the

play07:21

Democratic party and even As Trump is

play07:24

uniting the Republican Party behind him

play07:27

and winning over Americans especially

play07:30

bluecar Americans but Americans of every

play07:33

kind the Democratic party is

play07:37

fracturing as they realize that they're

play07:41

going that they're now at very high risk

play07:45

of losing the presidency in November but

play07:48

also losing Congress as well and we see

play07:51

how in spite of the the claims a few

play07:54

days ago that after the

play07:57

assassination Biden was home and dry

play08:01

within a few hours of those reports

play08:04

circulating you see again calls for

play08:09

Biden to step down from people like Adam

play08:12

Schiff who's clearly speaking for Nancy

play08:16

Pelosi I'm guessing and Chu Schumer

play08:19

apparently and others there's now going

play08:22

to be a concerted attempt over the next

play08:24

few days to get the old man to step down

play08:27

and the reason that's happened

play08:30

is because Trump has used the events of

play08:33

his assassination uh has used the

play08:36

assassination as acutely as he has and

play08:40

that is what has caused the Republican

play08:42

Party the Democratic party to in effect

play08:45

going to

play08:47

meltdown well uh Schiff was absolutely

play08:50

speaking on behalf of Pelosi but Pelosi

play08:52

from what I understand is actually

play08:54

advising uh Biden telling the Biden camp

play08:57

that it's time to to step aside for Cala

play08:59

Harris that's what it looks like it does

play09:02

seem that that they have decided that

play09:05

the the only viable option given given

play09:09

the time constraints that that they have

play09:11

given the entire situation is to go with

play09:12

Cala Harris and uh the reports are that

play09:16

the Camala Harris Camp which I imagine

play09:19

is the Obama uh Clan they are they

play09:23

they're pressing the the Biden oligarchy

play09:26

to to step aside but

play09:27

Biden his continues to say no we're not

play09:30

going anywhere and a lot of people

play09:33

believe that this this latest sickness

play09:36

that uh that he has acquired may

play09:39

actually be the the foundations for for

play09:43

moving

play09:44

Biden uh aside and and installing Harris

play09:47

what do you make of that absolutely I

play09:49

mean it could very well be that but it

play09:51

could also be a way of hiding the old

play09:53

man away in the F in the white house so

play09:56

he doesn't man he doesn't have to speak

play09:58

to the tumors and boses and the clintons

play10:02

and whoever it is who wants to come to

play10:04

speak to him in order to get him to

play10:06

stand down we we're we're looking at a

play10:09

real crisis within the Democratic party

play10:13

to which they have no obvious Solutions

play10:15

now I I it's very interesting by the way

play10:18

the way this plot because it is a plot

play10:20

or conspir call it a conspir call it

play10:23

whatever you like to get Biden to stand

play10:26

down is playing out because all the top

play10:28

people Obama

play10:31

Pelosi uh Schumer uh the clintons are

play10:35

all trying to get Biden to stand down

play10:39

none of them wants to go out and speak

play10:41

too openly about this in public Schumer

play10:44

I think is the one who's come Out Come

play10:46

closest so what they're doing is they're

play10:48

getting their political allies to act as

play10:51

proxies for them and to come out and

play10:53

start making uh public comments on their

play10:56

behalf Schiff therefore is doing it on

play10:59

behalf of Pelosi even as Pelosi is

play11:02

trying to talk to Biden so it looks to

play11:04

me as if Biden is barricading himself

play11:06

inide the White House there's this plan

play11:10

that they hatched to try to get the um

play11:14

um delegates and the primaries to

play11:18

confirm their support for Biden um you

play11:22

know the next week or so before the uh

play11:25

convention was convened apparently

play11:28

that's not had to be put back to August

play11:30

there's apparently so much resistance on

play11:32

that we have the irresistible Force

play11:36

encountering the immovable obstacle the

play11:39

irresistible Force being the leaders of

play11:42

the democratic party plus the donors the

play11:44

immovable obstacle being Biden and the

play11:47

circle around him and all of this is

play11:50

playing out even as Donald Trump looks

play11:54

like the

play11:56

Undisputed master of of all that he

play11:59

survives on the Republican side this is

play12:03

not a good a good look for any

play12:07

party to go into an election with

play12:11

looking as

play12:12

fragmented as they are against a

play12:16

candidate who looks as confident and as

play12:20

strong as Trump is um if you follow

play12:24

electoral Politics as I've done and if

play12:25

you know anything at all about electoral

play12:28

politics this is an all but certain

play12:31

guarantee of failure but you're right

play12:33

they've been driven to do it because

play12:35

they realize that with Biden the

play12:38

prospects of losing are in you know

play12:41

almost immovable they can't be they

play12:44

can't be shifted I don't think they

play12:46

seriously believe that Camala Harris can

play12:50

hold the presidency against Donald Trump

play12:53

it's all now about trying to retain

play12:55

Congress or at least the Senate um

play12:59

rather than um have Donald Trump get a

play13:03

clean

play13:04

sweep emerge not just as the elected

play13:07

president of the United States probably

play13:09

with a you know clear majority this time

play13:13

but also with a Congress that is not

play13:18

only

play13:20

Republican but also Republican and

play13:23

United behind him in a way that the

play13:27

Republican Congress of 2017 was

play13:32

not yeah I've been calling this uh a

play13:35

soft coup about from the time it started

play13:39

the way I saw it was was a coup and I

play13:42

think that's actually very accurate I I

play13:44

remember I was talking about this in a

play13:45

video and and I was questioning whether

play13:48

this this is a coup I was asking viewers

play13:51

is this a coup it is is this a coup yes

play13:54

it is a coup it is a straightforward

play13:56

coup because what the Democratic party

play13:58

is trying to do

play13:59

has no legal or constitutional basis um

play14:03

U Biden is the elected president of the

play14:07

United States um if they say that he is

play14:10

incapable there is a legal mechanism

play14:12

that they can use which is the 25th

play14:14

Amendment of the Constitution but they

play14:16

don't want to use it because that would

play14:19

broadcast even more openly uh the extent

play14:23

to which there's been a massive

play14:25

deception of the American people over

play14:27

the past 3 years and anyway it is a

play14:30

terrible thing for the Democratic party

play14:32

to do something like that to its own

play14:35

president in order to win an election so

play14:39

they are using means of pressure in

play14:42

order to get the president to stand down

play14:45

and that is a coup it is it is in effect

play14:48

trying to remove from office the the

play14:51

person who is holding it

play14:53

constitutionally and trying to do the

play14:56

same by the way in terms of of Biden's

play15:00

um position as the party's nominee for

play15:04

the presidency because the Democratic

play15:07

party didn't listen to your advice they

play15:10

allowed him to stand for the primaries

play15:12

he stood for the primaries I believe he

play15:14

won every single one he's got you know

play15:17

pretty much all the all the delegates

play15:19

sewn up and nonetheless the Democratic

play15:23

party is trying to

play15:26

deprive Joe Biden of the delegates which

play15:30

is again U um you know contrary to the

play15:33

party's

play15:35

rules that also is a coup so this is a

play15:38

coup definitely is a

play15:42

coup they tried to to regime change

play15:46

Putin they said that Putin was weak and

play15:49

sick and on his way out and everything

play15:52

that they were everything that they were

play15:54

projecting onto Putin has has basically

play15:57

uh come to come to Biden it's it's an

play16:01

amazing story U if

play16:06

uh if it is Harris say the plan is is to

play16:09

go with with

play16:11

Harris will that give the the Democrat

play16:14

uh party the the momentum that it needs

play16:19

to at least

play16:20

win uh the house or the Senate I mean I

play16:23

imagine I imagine the best case scenario

play16:25

for

play16:26

them we do have five months to go

play16:29

so so a lot can change so nothing is

play16:32

guaranteed including a trump win

play16:34

especially when you're dealing with the

play16:36

with the DNC the Democrat Party and the

play16:38

fact that they control pretty much the

play16:40

entire information space big Tech and

play16:43

the mainstream media uh that that all

play16:45

works as a surrogate of the of the

play16:47

Democrat Party so you can never count

play16:49

them out uh but but is is a

play16:54

Harris presidency the

play16:59

the the game Cher the the injection of

play17:02

of of a some sort of a

play17:04

spark to inject some momentum into into

play17:09

what is a flailing Biden campaign so

play17:11

that at the very minimum they can do

play17:13

something in in the house or the Senate

play17:15

is is that how they're they're probably

play17:18

looking at this uh by now I mean you

play17:21

have to stop the slide you have to do it

play17:23

somehow and it seems that's the only way

play17:25

to do it is to is to swap out Biden for

play17:27

for someone absolutely now I think

play17:30

there's a number of things to say about

play17:31

this firstly um if you're again applying

play17:35

conventional um

play17:37

electoral um you know rules than

play17:42

changing your candidate at this time

play17:44

even if the candidate is Joe Biden is

play17:47

not the right thing to do it's going to

play17:49

make the situation worse uh it's um you

play17:53

know the the the the the more logical

play17:57

thing to do would be to try to Brazen

play17:58

this out go on pretending that Biden is

play18:01

you know in control he had a bad day

play18:04

come up with some excuse for him not to

play18:06

have the debate you then pull all the

play18:09

people together you know across the

play18:12

country the various activists all of

play18:14

those kind of people you use the the

play18:17

party's enormous machine to bring the

play18:19

voters

play18:20

out the Democratic part's vs out to the

play18:24

extent that you can and you try and hold

play18:26

the position that way if the Democratic

play18:29

party came to the view that this is not

play18:32

going to work and that it's going to be

play18:34

a disaster and that they are better off

play18:37

with Harris then I'm going to make a

play18:39

shrewd guess that the private polling is

play18:43

far far far worse than what we're being

play18:47

told it has to be really really bad if

play18:50

they're being forced to do something

play18:52

like this so that's the first thing to

play18:54

say and I speak by the way as somebody

play18:56

you know who um has never been a

play18:58

politician but who's worked with

play19:00

politicians um as I said it's known that

play19:02

my aunt was in politics and I gave her

play19:05

advice and she was a formidable election

play19:07

winner and she explained to me much many

play19:10

things about elections and remember um

play19:15

we had a situation in Greece where we

play19:18

did have a prime minister you remember

play19:20

him Pap Andre who was clearly ill and

play19:22

unwell and nonetheless uh uh passar the

play19:26

party everybody knew well the problems

play19:29

were but they realized that the better

play19:31

thing to do was just to stick with him

play19:33

and that would at least prevent the uh

play19:37

defeat turning into a route and he was a

play19:40

he was not only sick and infirm but

play19:42

there were all kinds of other scandals

play19:45

hovering around him too so this must the

play19:48

situation here must be extremely bad if

play19:52

they're thinking about doing this and

play19:55

this I think goes very far to explain

play19:58

why we are only talking about Camala

play20:00

Harris because Camala Harris looks to me

play20:03

like the only person in the Democratic

play20:05

party who is stupid enough to want to

play20:08

take over from Biden at this time I say

play20:11

that because all of the others mome all

play20:13

the other people that we uh been hearing

play20:15

about not only do they understand very

play20:20

well that the um mechanics of them

play20:24

stepping in and taking over from Biden

play20:27

as the party's C Cate are impossibly

play20:31

complicated but they also know that if

play20:34

they did become the Democratic parties

play20:37

candidate in this election they would

play20:40

they would almost certainly be going go

play20:43

down in a Smash in November so they

play20:47

don't want to do that they're they're

play20:49

not looking to this election they're

play20:51

looking to the election Beyond this they

play20:53

don't want to compromise themselves by

play20:56

you know um losing disastrously to Trump

play21:01

in November they're thinking about well

play21:05

you know we've got to preserve ourselves

play21:07

and keep our

play21:10

reputations um undamaged so that we can

play21:13

be convincing candidates against Vance

play21:17

in

play21:18

2028 and beyond that I I I'm sure that

play21:21

calculation is being made as I said I

play21:23

know politicians the only candidate who

play21:27

does seem to actually want the job wants

play21:31

to be vice president and wants to be uh

play21:35

the party's nominee is Camala Harris and

play21:38

removing Camala Harris um from

play21:41

contention is incredibly difficult

play21:44

because she is the vice president and to

play21:47

repeat again a point I made several

play21:49

times and which I think now is now

play21:52

widely accepted if Biden stands down as

play21:57

the Party's candidate for the election

play22:00

in November then realistically given the

play22:03

reasons he would be standing down he

play22:06

would also have to stand down from the

play22:08

presidency as well so Camala Harris

play22:11

would be looking to be the president of

play22:13

the United

play22:15

States as the incumbent seeking

play22:18

reelection or seeking election as the

play22:21

candidate for the Democratic party in

play22:24

November will it change the Electoral

play22:28

dynamic

play22:29

well as I said at the start of the

play22:30

program this violates fundamental

play22:33

principles of how to conduct elections

play22:36

um Perhaps Perhaps it can to a certain

play22:41

extent um it might Shore up the Black

play22:46

American vote because here one is

play22:50

hearing lots of reports that more and

play22:51

more people from that Community are now

play22:54

going over to Donald Trump's side it may

play22:57

be that if they're offered the option of

play23:01

Camala Harris they will support

play23:04

her because of not who she is but

play23:07

because you know she's one of them so

play23:10

that that might stem the tide there it

play23:15

might also uh mean that since it's

play23:19

Camala Harris running the election um

play23:23

Democratic Congress people people in the

play23:27

house and in the Senate they won't be

play23:31

tied to

play23:32

Biden as they have they won't be tied to

play23:36

Harris as they have been to Biden they

play23:39

won't have come out and spoken about

play23:42

their huge undying support for Harris in

play23:45

the past as the in the way that many of

play23:48

them have done about Biden so they won't

play23:52

be as

play23:53

embarrassed in their personal electoral

play23:58

B battles by the fact that the party's

play24:01

nominee is Harris as they might be if

play24:05

the party's nominee is Biden who they

play24:09

all have a past history of supporting as

play24:14

president that is the only advantage to

play24:18

this from an electoral perspective which

play24:22

I can see and um I presume that's why

play24:26

it's been done because the people in the

play24:29

house the people in the Senate the

play24:31

Senators and the House of

play24:33

Representatives the the representatives

play24:36

in Congress are no doubt being told by

play24:38

their electoral managers you've got to

play24:40

get rid of Biden because he's he's

play24:43

absolutely toxic we are losing support

play24:47

because your connection to Biden is so

play24:51

disastrous for

play24:52

you that your prospects of get getting

play24:56

reelected in November is he's still

play24:59

there are zilch so even though people

play25:02

don't like Harris very much you don't

play25:05

have the history of supporting Harris

play25:07

that you have uh in in terms of Biden so

play25:12

put Harris in talk as little about her

play25:15

as you can and that might enable you to

play25:19

get the support of the Democrats that

play25:23

you have in in you know the in in your

play25:26

local districts uh um and that will

play25:29

enable you to come through I I suspect

play25:32

that is the calculation being

play25:34

made yeah I I agree with that um just a

play25:38

final note uh I imagine that that

play25:42

Harris uh looks at this from from the

play25:45

standpoint of if if I become the nominee

play25:48

or even the the president even if it is

play25:50

for three four months um I'm I'm the

play25:54

first woman president of the United

play25:56

States I I I think she she looks at it

play25:59

from from that from that Viewpoint and

play26:01

and her entire team and and maybe even

play26:03

the Democrat Party you know they can

play26:05

they can say we we we did it we we broke

play26:08

the the glass ceiling right which is

play26:10

very important for the Democrat Party

play26:12

and and then they could say in the next

play26:14

four years we can finally run Gavin Nome

play26:17

or someone like that because you know we

play26:19

we we got Harris she was President for

play26:21

three four months or she was a nominee

play26:23

against Trump and and now we can we can

play26:27

move on to to a gav doome or someone

play26:29

like that I I don't know something tells

play26:31

me that

play26:32

Harris would be fine if she was

play26:36

President for four or five months that

play26:37

she could say that she was the the first

play26:39

woman president of the United States I

play26:41

think she would be happy with that and

play26:43

even if she lost I think she would be

play26:44

happy with that I don't that's just my

play26:45

gut think and maybe the Democrat Party

play26:48

would be happy with that I don't know I

play26:50

think you're probably right too I think

play26:52

you're probably right about all of these

play26:53

things and of course she has a narrative

play26:56

that she can play out she can say you

play26:59

know that the reason she lost in

play27:01

November partly was because she broke

play27:04

the glass ceiling and this was

play27:06

unacceptable to such a huge number of

play27:08

people in the United States because as

play27:12

we know Trump's supporters so many of

play27:15

them are deplorables people with

play27:16

reactionary views you can start trotting

play27:20

all that out again and you could say in

play27:22

the future election well it was a

play27:24

tragedy that the American people weren't

play27:26

prepared to Rally behind this wonderful

play27:29

person Camala Harris but let's make up

play27:32

for her by supporting someone like Nome

play27:35

instead I I I can very easily see these

play27:37

narratives being spot and of course for

play27:40

Camala

play27:41

Harris

play27:44

she remains even after she loses a

play27:49

former president with all the great

play27:52

privileges the personal privileges that

play27:55

go with that so you know I one see

play27:58

actually if you think of it in these

play28:00

terms that she comes out quite well from

play28:03

this yeah we'll see if Biden steps steps

play28:08

down we'll see if Hunter and Jill let

play28:11

Biden step step down I mean that's

play28:13

that's what it all comes down to that's

play28:15

the firewall that he has in place is is

play28:17

is Hunter and Dr Jill UND dud absolutely

play28:23

um interesting question why they're so

play28:25

determined to keep him

play28:28

standing um I would have thought that

play28:31

well certainly if it been a member of my

play28:33

family um could reach the kind of point

play28:36

that um he has uh I would be advising

play28:40

him not to

play28:43

stand uh I

play28:44

I I I I can I can say that absolutely by

play28:48

the way because um my aunt in her last

play28:50

election was seriously ill and I and

play28:54

other members of her family did want

play28:58

wanted to stand for that reason so you

play29:00

know I I I talk with authority here but

play29:03

you know maybe they're negotiating Alex

play29:06

maybe they are this is like a tough

play29:08

negotiation for them and they're asking

play29:10

for more in order to indeed or or or

play29:13

maybe there are other reasons which I'm

play29:16

not going to explore on this program you

play29:18

know no I mean everyone watch

play29:21

understands what those reasons could be

play29:22

yeah it could be a combination of all

play29:24

these things absolutely absolutely yeah

play29:28

okay we will end the video there the
