“It’s going to be a very sterile environment. I’m surprised Joe wanted it that way because he can’t in any way feed off of the crowd. Now you can say, well, Donald Trump can’t either, but Donald Trump understands the power of television in a way Joe doesn’t. “And here’s going to be the problem for Joe Biden. If he …

“We don’t seem to understand that we need to quit playing defense and start playing offense. It’s really hard to score when you don’t have the ball. And Republicans keep fumbling and give the other team the ball. We recognize that an abortion has two victims. Obviously, the unborn child, and the other victim is the woman who’s the birth …

“This has gone on way too long. There are crises across the world and it’s been, frankly, a disaster for Republicans in general. It’s just a bad look.

“Do you know how political opponents to those in power are dealt with in Third World dictatorships, banana republics and communist regimes? “Well, it’s simple. The people in power use their police agencies to arrest their opponents for made up crimes in an attempt to discredit them, bankrupt them, imprison them, exile them, or all of the above. “And if …

“It probably wasn’t the best idea for an ad, in part because you win elections when you add people to your voting rolls, you don’t win elections when you keep subtracting them. “But the fact is there are many people in that community who are conservative and vote Republican. You want those voters and just in the same way that …

“They’ve bought into the lie. I don’t know any other way to say it. I can’t be polite about it, because there’s no way to say, ‘Oh, they’re just trying to stay out of harm’s way.’ No, they have injected themselves into the diversity, equity, and inclusion model. They’ve hired someone to be their vice president of DEI. “And when …

“Where are they going to suggest they go? Chicago? Baltimore? Really? I don’t think so. If they want to say, ‘Look, Ron DeSantis is a secret crossdresser,’ that would, at this point, probably have a little bit more energy than to say that he’s a racist. “Anyone who knows Ron DeSantis knows he’s not a racist, this is crazy, and …

“Sean, the construct of the speech is pitch perfect. If he keeps on like this tonight, he is unbeatable in 2024. Nobody can touch him. Not a Republican, not a Democrat.

“We have two other opponents that we have to deal with. One is the traditional media, the mainstream media. They’re 90% against us. They’re always going to spin things against us. “And the other are the institutions of the government itself, the Department of Justice, the FBI. And when those two entities get together, the Democrats don’t have to be …
