00:00Now, look, I'm going to go really off script here, and, you know, all my communications

00:05staffers back there are going to get a little nervous.

00:10You know, I was hanging out with my kids yesterday.

00:12We're actually swimming at the swimming pool, and somebody brought over their phone and

00:17showed me the news that Joe Biden had announced he was dropping out of this race.

00:22And look, I don't like Joe Biden, and I don't like his policies, and I'm not a Democrat

00:28primary voter.

00:29I never have been, and I never will be, unless something goes really wrong, ladies and gentlemen.

00:32But look, what is going on in this country is absolutely disgraceful.

00:38Let me get a little philosophical here.

00:40I imagine most of you did not vote for Joe Biden, and if you did, welcome aboard.

00:44We're glad to have you.

00:47But if you want to run for president, you've got to make your case to voters.

00:53You make your case to voters.

00:55That's what President Trump did, even though he would have already been the president.

00:59And even though he was by far the most popular person in the Republican Party, he ran for

01:03the Republican presidential nomination, he faced some good competition, and he made his

01:08case to voters.

01:10The idea of selecting the Democrat Party's nominee because George Soros and Barack Obama

01:17and a couple of elite Democrats got in a smoke-filled room and decided to throw Joe Biden overboard,

01:24that is not how it works.

01:26That is a threat to democracy, not the Republican Party, which is fighting for democracy every

01:30single day.

01:43This is not okay, ladies and gentlemen.

01:45You cannot, for three and a half years, take a guy who clearly didn't have the mental capacity

01:51to do the job.

01:53Kamala Harris lied about it.

01:54My Senate Democratic colleagues lied about it.

01:57The media lied about it.

01:58Every single person who saw Joe Biden knew that he wasn't capable of doing the job.

02:04And for three years, they said nothing until he became political deadweight.

02:09That is not a way to run a country.

02:11That is not a way to run a political party.

02:13That is an insult to voters.

02:15And so, and I really believe, even though I think the leadership of that party is corrupt,

02:26I really believe that most Americans are fundamentally good, whether they're Democrat, Republican,

02:31or independent.

02:32My life has taught me to put my faith in people because they put their faith in me and gave

02:37me a lot of opportunities.

02:39So my message to Democrats who are disgusted by this process, disgusted by how anti-democratic

02:46it is, you are welcome in the Republican Party where we think we should persuade voters and

02:52not lie to voters.

02:54Come on in.

02:55The water's warm.
