PETE HEGSETH (HOST): The establishment will do whatever it takes to keep Biden in the White House. You know that. He's very useful to them. You see, his boring presidency is actually an opportunity. While we focus on Joe's naps, Democrats solidify even more control across the sprawling federal bureaucracy. The deep state gets deeper every day. They work quietly while Joe does other things. 

They're already trying to kneecap Joe's primary opponents. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. He's surging in the polls. He's at 19%. The mainstream media has been ignoring him since the day he announced. But now that he's a threat, they're going for his throat.

...

And because he's not the establishment's chosen Democrat, well now he's being treated like a Republican.
