1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Obviously, you can't make the stuff up. Very deep in 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: the crisis that is Biden and his inability to look 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: anything close to a presidential candidate. We are then distracted 4 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,880 Speaker 1: by the other bloke getting shot. Was something as ugly 5 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: as this always bound to happen as America Really that 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: broken Trump obviously is not the first, but it's been 7 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: a long time since Reagan. Couple of odd things. Why 8 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: we're a shoes off? Why do issues come off when 9 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: you hit the ground. This is not too diminished or 10 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: take away from the seriousness of the event, of course, 11 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: but it seems odd as regards his reaction. Working for 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: him is the fact he was able to get up, 13 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: raise his fist and yell out numerous times the word fight. 14 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: When age is an issue in a campaign and you 15 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: have the energy to one take a graze to get 16 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: up and raise your first and turn it into a 17 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: photo opportunity, that's going to play exceedingly well for you. 18 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: He looks like a fighter, is also, i assume, exceedingly 19 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: lucky to be alive, given whatever hit him didn't hit 20 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: him properly, which then leads to the question, how do 21 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: you change your campaign going forward? Security wise? Obviously, the 22 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: convention this week will be locked down, but November is 23 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: a long way away. A lot of rallies need to 24 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: be held. As much security as Trump had yesterday, it 25 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: wasn't enough to stop someone crazy having a crack on security. 26 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: By the way, although it didn't stop it, you had 27 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: to see the swarm to believe it, didn't you. I mean, 28 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: they were nowhere to be seen until they came, literally 29 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: from everywhere. Good luck trying to get into something presidential 30 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: going forward. None of this, of course, plays well for America. 31 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: The current president is in severe and obvious decline and 32 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: seemingly refusing to go anywhere as his party implodes with panic. Meantime, 33 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: the guy against him as a shooting victim. What does 34 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: that say about the country and its place in the world. 35 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: The US presidential campaign of twenty twenty four. If you 36 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: think you can guess what happens next, you're dreaming for 37 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to news 38 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: talks it'd be from six am weekdays, or follow the 39 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: podcast on iHeartRadio.
