I thought this was 18 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 5: an interesting thing for the New York Times to rite, 19 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 5: but true, the president's responses show him exactly as a 20 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 5: majority of Americans believed him to be, and as Democrats 21 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 5: repeatedly insisted he was not so. New York Times even 22 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 5: in their seb headline saying at the time, a majority 23 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 5: of Americans believed his brain didn't work. 24 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, long before the debate. 25 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 5: It's kind of funny that you weren't like talking about 26 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 5: that on a daily basis. 27 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: But okay, you're right now. You're correct now. 28 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: As we've said a thousand times, given the enormity of 29 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: the story and how it's exactly what a free press 30 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: is designed to cover, I mean to pass on that 31 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: is just yea inexcusable, and it's it illustrates the point 32 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: so completely. They are fully partisan hacks. 33 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 5: I was actually thinking about this over the weekend, before 34 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 5: we get into more of the hurt tapes and all 35 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 5: that sort of stuff.

Would you have been twisting your mind into 37 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 5: not if this were a Republican or Trump, same situation, 38 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 5: but it was Trump, would you have been twisting yourself 39 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 5: into knots trying to pretend that he was still okay 40 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 5: and could still run again and be president again? Jeez, 41 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 5: I sure hope not from I'm talking about myself. I 42 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 5: sure hope I wouldn't have been.

Oh no, I wouldn't think so. 47 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: I mean, unless you are really a cult of personality cultist. 48 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: Because the gripe from you know, a lot of Democrats 49 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: is that. 50 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: Hey pretending otherwise screwed the pooch. 51 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 5: M m. 52 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 2: That's what loss is the election. 53 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: Dean Phillips was yelling about it, the only guy with 54 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: the guts to run in the primary against him, And 55 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: I was just reminded of the you remember the great 56 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: girations to get South Carolina to be the first Democratic 57 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: primary state. 58 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: Because it's more diverse and looks more like America. Blah 59 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: blah blah. 60 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: Well, no, it is because they knew if there was 61 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: any contest whatsoever in New Hampshire and Iowa, Biden would 62 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: lose and he would be exposed as a terribly weak candidate. 63 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: But they knew the fix was into South Carolina and 64 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: they could get him over the edge. 65 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: But anyway, that's kind of. 66 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: An unnecessary detail. Back to the rambling old Man. 67 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 5: More from the New York Times analysis of the tapes 68 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 5: that came out on Friday, in the audio recording. Mister 69 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 5: Hurst's conclusion that a jury would see mister Biden as 70 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 5: a sympathetic, well meaning elderly man with a poor. 71 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 2: Memory is not merely valid, it is irrefutable. That's the 72 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: New York Times. No, no, it's not. 73 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 5: I like the way they're getting around to it now, 74 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 5: but at least they're getting around to it. 75 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: Then. 76 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: Dan Ball's in the Washington Post. 77 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 5: The truth is the public was on to Biden's decline 78 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 5: long before the debate. Yeah, as he prepared for a 79 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 5: re election campaign, few obstacles loomed larger than perceptions at 80 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 5: his age and acuity made him unfit to serve a 81 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 5: second term. It was there in black and white. A 82 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 5: Washington Post ABC News poll in February of twenty three, 83 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 5: that's what, five months before the debate, found that six 84 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 5: and ten Democrats wanted someone other than other than Biden 85 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 5: to be their nominee, which is an astonishing number for 86 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 5: a sitting president and an electioneer. And it's difficult to 87 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 5: believe that his age wasn't the motivating factor then all So, 88 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 5: in February of twenty four, before the debate, found that 89 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 5: two thirds of Americans said he did not have the 90 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,679 Speaker 5: mental fitness to be president again? 91 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 2: Two thirds. That was in February. 92 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would love to ask the bigfoot media guys, 93 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: hey see if you can this the riddles, See if 94 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: you can puzzle this went out?

It's a particular profession. Well, right, 98 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 2: there's only one tiny, narrow segment.

Number One, there was 170 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: indeed a massive cover up inside the White House, and 171 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: they mentioned that The Atlantic had reported bluntly this week. 172 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: Dozens of people in Biden's orbit suspected he was not 173 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: physically or mentally equipped to be the President of the US. 174 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: Then that's a good word, suspected. 175 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: Yet they helped him seek that office and keep it 176 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: when he couldn't reliably perform its duties, and then sickeningly 177 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: try to return office. Biden to that office for four 178 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: more years, even though they did not think that he 179 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: could serve during the first term. 180 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 5: Jock Armstrong suspected Joe Getty liked whiskey number two. Biden's 181 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 5: condition began to deteriorate as early as a decade ago. 182 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 5: Tapper and Thompson in the new book report those close 183 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 5: to him say the first signs he was deteriorating emerged 184 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 5: after the death of his beloved son bo. 185 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: In twenty fifteen. Biden was really struggling. In twenty seventeen, 186 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: his cognitive capacity seemed to have been failing him. The 187 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 1: authors of the book make it clear that previous cover 188 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: ups of the health problems of presidents Wilson, Roosevelt, Kennedy 189 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: pale by comparison with the Biden cover up. Absolutely, if 190 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: we had won, people in the Biden world believed there 191 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: would have been a constitutional crisis, Thompson told The New Yorker, 192 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: because clearly the people in his inner circle were not 193 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: willing to seed power. 194 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: How they knew that he would have to be removed 195 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: from office. 196 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 5: How about a national crisis if there had been an 197 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 5: emergency that required a decision. During one of his moments 198 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 5: where he's rambling on about the shelfy built for the 199 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 5: fax machine. 200 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 2: And then what do you call it machine? 201 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Fund also points out that there is an unhealthy 202 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: confluence of interest between the White House and the reporters 203 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: who most frequently cover it, And he goes into a 204 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: great deal of detail why this is unholy and unacceptable, 205 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: and then he quotes like guys like Chris Solissa, former 206 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: reporter for The Post and CNN, this was a cover up, 207 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: plain and simple. For at least two years or close 208 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: to its senior people in the White House knew that 209 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: Biden's condition was bad enough that it needed to be 210 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: concealed from people working the administration. 211 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 2: He leaves out how compliant he was. 212 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, come on, then you got to get back 213 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 5: to that poll that Dan Balls was quoting. Two thirds 214 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 5: of Americans knew Ee's brain didn't work in early twenty four. 215 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: You know what, There's a little more to be said, 216 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: and I don't want to rush through it.

We have to have 223 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 5: a working media. We have to or we're doomed. The 224 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 5: founding fathers knew that. It's always been true. We're just 225 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 5: gonna give a minus. 226 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: And you might want to not put in power the 227 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: people who have lied about Biden's condition the most egregiously. 228 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 5: And there's a list. Okay, we got lots of stuff 229 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 5: to do today. Trump's gonna talk to Putin on the phone. 230 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 5: This could be an historic phone call, among other things. 231 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 5: On the way, stay here. 232 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 4: A driver for Amazon was fired after she was caught 233 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 4: on a ring camera defecating on a porch, said the homeowner. 234 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 2: But that's what I ordered, he now, so will it's 235 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 2: an awful joke. 236 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 5: We'll be talking about Joe Biden's cancer they got diagnosed with, 237 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 5: and more about all the kind of things around the 238 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 5: diagnosis of it, what that might mean or not, and 239 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 5: his brain, so his brain and his finility cover up. 240 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 2: That's right. 241 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 5: So Saturday Night Live, it was their season finale on 242 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 5: Saturday Night.

It's the really interesting part. 262 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 5: I guess, Well, I guess I'm more interested in the reverse. 263 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 5: If you can make it okay with that little thing, 264 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 5: then why can't it be okay, like just in general, 265 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 5: to make that kind of joke. 266 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: Of course, I don't mean that it's a joke, right, or. 267 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: If Colin Jost were to do the joke, then let 268 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: everybody go nuts. The lynch mob come from for him, then, 269 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: say Michael Jay, wrote that, then would that be okay 270 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: if you didn't know in advance, or look, let's examine this. 271 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 5: So we've played them in the past and they're uncomfortable 272 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 5: and funny.

Or is this one of many 334 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 5: things that they did know and hid. Brian Delter of 335 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 5: CNN took it a step further, so we were playing 336 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 5: the her tapes a little bit earlier. Those are the 337 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 5: audio tapes Joe Biden when he was grilled years ago. 338 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 5: We had read about them, but we hadn't heard them. 339 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 5: They came out on Friday. The New York Times analysis was, well, 340 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 5: here's proof that his brain didn't work a long long 341 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 5: time ago. I mean, there's no getting around it. Guy 342 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 5: was in no position to be president or running for president. 343 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 5: That's what the New York Times took from the her tapes. 344 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 5: Brian Stelter of CNN says he's questioning the timing of 345 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 5: Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis announcement, insisting that it was extraordinary 346 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 5: that the news broke just as the former president was 347 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 5: battling an onslaught of criticism on the cover up of 348 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 5: his cognitive decline. 349 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 2: While in the White House. 350 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 5: This timing is too much, Stelter said during an appearance 351 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 5: on CNN yesterday. We know from the statement from his 352 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 5: personal spokesman, Biden learned I'm using finger quotes on that 353 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 5: one of the diagnosis on Friday. 354 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 2: What was the biggest story. 355 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,199 Speaker 5: On Friday, Stelter says on CNN, it was the release 356 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 5: of those audio excerpts from his conversations. 357 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's just too much to have, Brian Stelter, 358 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 1: you know, leap from the side of the criminals to 359 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: the cops and saying it's time we did something about 360 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 1: these criminals. Yeah. 361 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 5: I don't know if I can eat and that is 362 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 5: an excellent story that I'm all over, But I know 363 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 5: if I can get there, He might be right. 364 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 2: He might absolutely be right. So did the Biden people 365 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,199 Speaker 2: hang on to this? Have they known he had this 366 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 2: cancer for years? 367 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me, given the quality of his medical care. 368 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 5: If you listen to the show, you know, I'm always 369 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 5: shooting down the hole the timing sususpicious conspiracy because there's 370 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 5: a story every day that a White House would like 371 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 5: to cover up. I mean, there's always a negative story 372 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 5: out there. So people if something comes out it's, oh, 373 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 5: suspicious timing with oil prices going up or whatever it is, 374 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 5: and I always say, think, whatever this will though, this 375 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 5: is something they had to have had they had to There's. 376 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: No way they just found out he's got prostate cancer. 377 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: And I think the takeaways pretty obvious because a prostate 378 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: cancer is in most cases extremely slow moving. You can 379 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: live with it, you can deal with it, keep an 380 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: eye on it, that sort of thing in many many 381 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: cases anyway, And he would absolutely have Biden would have 382 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: been doing a favor to say, hey, fellas, it's important 383 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: you get the exam, talk to your doctor, blah blah blah. 384 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: Men's health right. We got a bointh of it right, 385 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 2: and the rest of it. 386 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: And the reason they didn't was because there was a 387 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: perceipe a perception based on well everything, that Joe Biden 388 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: was unfit for another term in office. 389 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 2: I would argue he wasn't fit for the first term 390 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: in office. But yeah, so it all fits together. 391 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 1: It's I don't know, it seems fairly obvious to me 392 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: with the book coming out. 393 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 2: And the herd tapes and everything like that. 394 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 5: So Megan McCain tweeted this out John McCain's daughter, maybe 395 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 5: remember she tweeted this out over the weekend. And she's 396 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 5: a political I mean, she's on talk shows all the time. 397 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 5: She's a regular on Halprin's podcast and that sort of stuff. 398 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 5: I don't know if it's just my being biased or 399 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 5: my background, but I don't want to hear anything else 400 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 5: about Biden's health cover up, tell All's interviews with staff, etc. 401 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 5: Let the Biden family be in peace right now. This 402 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 5: is all just so sad and imprudent. Cancer is the 403 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 5: absolute worst. 404 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: It's hell. 405 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 5: It is incredibly difficult for any family wishing nothing but healing. 406 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 5: I don't think it's appropriate in these times for politics. 407 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 5: So there's Megan McCain saying we shouldn't be talking about 408 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 5: the her tapes or the tell all books or any 409 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 5: of this stuff with the announcement coming out. I think 410 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 5: the announcement came out just so people would react the 411 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 5: way you just reacted, Meghan. 412 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, I'm sold. I'm through. 413 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 5: Do you feel any need to pull back on talking 414 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 5: about his broken brain in the media coverage because he's 415 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 5: got cancer? I think he knew he either knew he 416 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 5: had cancer or doctor Jill hid it from him for 417 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 5: like ten years. 418 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,439 Speaker 1: One hundred percent you think she'd be better at that 419 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: as a doctor. Yeah, I'm one hundred, one hundred percent 420 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: rejecting Meghan McCain's idea. That's that's ridiculous, especially for the 421 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: following reasons. 422 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 2: Uh number one. 423 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: As Barton swamwrites for the Wall Street Journal Opinion Pages, 424 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: he says, what's amusing is that the only people deceived 425 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: from twenty twenty through twenty twenty four. 426 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: We're talking about starting. 427 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: In twenty twenty now, folks, the only people deceived were 428 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: the deceivers. The argument in the press about when it 429 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: became clear that mister Biden wasn't up to the job, 430 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: was it twenty twenty three, as early as twenty twenty one, also. 431 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 2: Makes me laugh. 432 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: I witnessed Biden's frailty during the twenty twenty primary and 433 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: wrote about it. I was covering the dueling campaigns of 434 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: Tom Steyer and mister very Few people thought mister Biden 435 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: would win anything but South Carolina, precisely because he appeared 436 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 1: too old to govern. Former Vice President come in fourth 437 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: and I won fifth in New Hampshire. A win for 438 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: him in South Carolina seemed likely, but he was losing 439 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: everywhere else. And then he goes through some of the 440 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 1: details of the campaign and how it was Pete Buddha, 441 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: Judge Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren who were beating him 442 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party said oh my god, what are 443 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: we going to do? And James Clyburn took over and 444 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: he said, I'll fix South Carolina for you, essentially, and 445 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: we'll get old man Biden. At least he's a mainstream Democrat. 446 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: But back to the piece from Barton Swain, the first 447 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: time I saw him in North Charleston, I thought he 448 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: might be having a stroke or a heart attack when 449 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: he spoke, we're more familiar with the gravelly whisper now 450 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 1: than we were then. He was barely audible. His words 451 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: slurred together and made no sense. I noted in my 452 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 1: report that he several times said North Carolina when he 453 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: meant North Charleston. An important thing to get right when 454 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: trying to win over South Carolina voters. He was ostensibly 455 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: there to talk about his campaign's housing plan, but it 456 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: was obvious he had no idea what the plan was. 457 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: Also unknown to him were the names of any of 458 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 1: the state lawmakers standing with them. Then he was to 459 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: appear at a rally at the College of Charleston. He 460 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: was two hours late, even though his campaign bus was 461 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: parked right next door two thousand people waiting for him. 462 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: No explanation why, he said, I think he was a sleeper. 463 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 1: Just couldn't He wasn't up to it, and then late 464 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: still Later that night, he spoke briefly at the state 465 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: parties first in the South dinner. Mister Biden concluded his 466 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: remarks in a way that should have but evidently didn't 467 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: make everyone in the room squirm. And I quote, and 468 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: we played this at the time. My name is Joe Biden. 469 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: I'm a Democratic candidate for the United States Senate. Look 470 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: me over. If you like what you see, help out. 471 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: If not, vote for the other Biden. This is in 472 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. And then the final note from some of 473 00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: the folks at the Free Press. I think it was 474 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 1: Elly Bulls. I'm not sure, but she says, looking forward, 475 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: the Democratic parties in trouble of Ben Rhoades, the failed 476 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: novelist and Iran apologist who represent the Obama administration at 477 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: Castro's funeral, has become the voice of reason, because Rhodes said, 478 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: and I quote, Democrats need not understand that being able 479 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: to say Biden shouldn't have run again is not just 480 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: about the past. It's about having any credibility with voters 481 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: in the future, which is similar to comments made from 482 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:31,479 Speaker 1: Roe Kanna possible twenty twenty eight primary contestant. Kana, by 483 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: the way, praise Biden is completely mentally sharp in twenty 484 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: twenty four. Other Democrats are who are definitely running in 485 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: twenty eight are content to embrace the Schumer method of 486 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: changing the subject to avoid explaining why they defended Biden 487 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: so passionately in twenty twenty four. But we won't let 488 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: them forget jab Pritzker in twenty four. He's on the ball. 489 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: The man knows more than most of us have forgotten 490 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: Pritzker in twenty five. Look all this stuff about his 491 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: health er, you know, commentary that people are making in books. Uh, frankly, 492 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: that's very backward looking. Chris Murphy, Democratic Connecticut in twenty four. 493 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden is incredibly competent and he's incredibly effective. Incredible 494 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: Murphy Murphy this year. Yeah, literally, not credibly Murphy this year. Obviously, 495 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: in retrospect, we should have done something different to keep 496 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 1: Boodha Judge last year. The president the boss I work for, 497 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: is a focused and disciplined leader Bootah Judge. This year, 498 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: right now, with the benefit of hinde and sight, I 499 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: think most people would agree Biden should have run. We're 500 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 1: also not in a position to wallow in hindsight. 501 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,919 Speaker 2: So well. 502 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 5: Again, I asked the question I asked earlier of would 503 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 5: you have covered up for Trump in the same situation 504 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 5: if you're a big Trump fan, or make it an 505 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 5: anonymous Republican president. 506 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,479 Speaker 2: God, I hope I wouldn't know. I should hope I wouldn't. 507 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 2: It was so obvious.

So 578 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 5: I just noticed looking up at the television. Both Good 579 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 5: Morning America and CBS Early Show did a long segment 580 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 5: on that play, in which Caitlin Clark with a flagrant 581 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 5: foul knocked down her nemesis Angel Reese in the opening 582 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:01,520 Speaker 5: matchup between them in the WNBA. Me, wow, is it 583 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 5: kind of interesting just as a basketball fan. So, Caitlin 584 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 5: Cork plays for the Indiana Fever, who are among the 585 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 5: teams expected to win the whole thing this year. They 586 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 5: did a smart thing there the ownership and realize, oh, 587 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 5: we got the best player in the world, let's get 588 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 5: somebody around her and we can win it all. 589 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 2: And they did. 590 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 5: But I have watched this many times with players throughout 591 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 5: my life who come into the league from college is 592 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 5: like really popular and hot. They get pushed around a lot, 593 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 5: and she kind of did last year. She clearly this 594 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 5: year has decided we ain't getting pushed around this year. 595 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 5: And I remember watching She's all kinds of magic. Johnson, 596 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,479 Speaker 5: Larry Bird, lebron Knew, Michael Jordan, you name it. Who 597 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 5: had to come into the league and show this. And 598 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 5: if you watch that whole play under the basket, one 599 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 5: of her players gets shoved. 600 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,840 Speaker 2: She points at the ref like, what the hell is that? 601 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 2: No call? 602 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 5: She immediately flagrant fouls her nemesis, like, we ain't doing 603 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,240 Speaker 5: this this year. You're not gonna man handle us this year, 604 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 5: We're not doing and they won by like thirty, by 605 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 5: the way, but hockey rules. Yeah, gonna be the tough guy, 606 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,480 Speaker 5: all right, Yeah, exactly. It was a pretty cool play, 607 00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 5: and I like the way they both handled the two. 608 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 5: In the postgame, Caitlin Clark says, a regular play. Move on, 609 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 5: it's no big deal. And even Angel Reese, who could 610 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 5: have made a big deal out of it and turned 611 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 5: it racial like a lot of people want to do, 612 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 5: she said it was an NBA. 613 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 2: It was a basketball play, no big deal. So I 614 00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 2: like that. 615 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 5: But New York Times with an article put every Caitlan 616 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 5: Clark game on national television and making the argument for 617 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 5: it on how first of all, last year they had 618 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 5: the first game with more than a million viewers in decades. 619 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 5: They actually had twenty four games with more than a 620 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 5: million viewers, twenty two of them featuring Caitlin Clark. 621 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 2: As Charles Barkley said last year. 622 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 5: The WNBA's insane if they don't just try to ride 623 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 5: this Caitlan Clark thing as far as they can. 624 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: Oh, it's easy for him to say, as a white guy, waited, 625 00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: I'm sorry the control room is talking to me.

Put 629 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: every game on national TV. 630 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 5: This is clearly something people are interested and not the 631 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 5: other stuff. 632 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,399 Speaker 1: Nice and look, look, you're in the entertainment business.
