00:00The first television debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden has only reinforced what

00:09a poor choice Americans have when it comes to choosing their next commander in chief.

00:14On one hand, you had Donald Trump who lied and blustered his way through the debate,

00:18but also seemed to appear more confident and calmer than his counterpart, Joe Biden, who

00:23frankly had his age showing on his sleeve. There has been so much debate about Joe Biden's

00:29mental and physical abilities and his capability to be running for office again. And unfortunately,

00:36this debate exposed those weaknesses in full public glare. What was being whispered for

00:41months now within the Democratic Party is now being said much more loudly. That is that

00:46President Biden should step aside during the Democratic Convention, which is about two

00:52months away, and allow somebody else to be on the Democratic ticket. Otherwise, there's

00:56a very real possibility that Donald Trump will once again occupy the White House. This

01:02is not an ordinary election for the American people. This is one in which its very values

01:07as a democracy are at stake. And we've seen Trump make no bones about the fact that he's

01:13not going to change if he comes back into the White House. In fact, when he was asked

01:17whether he would accept the election verdict, whatever it was, he had a huge caveat, essentially

01:24saying if he won, then he would accept it. Therefore, the writing is clear on the wall

01:28for the American people. And perhaps the best thing that Joe Biden can do for his party

01:33and for America is to step aside as soon as possible.
