1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: So Joe Biden up to I wonder what he's got COVID,

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,600
Speaker 2: which is why he probably hasn't been in public. And

4
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 2: apparently he didn't want to make the announcement publicly that

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 2: he was stepping aside because his voice was raspy and

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 2: he just thought no, So he announced it on social media,

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: which was an interesting thing to do. But he'll still

8
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 2: be president until the new president is sworn in.

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, Trump's saying that he should drop out of them,

10
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: So who's running the country. He is?

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: He said he will continue to be president until his

12
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: time is up. So just because he's saying, hey, you know,

13
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: I don't have it for the next four years, I'm

14
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: going to see out He's not. He obviously can see

15
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: out his turn.

16
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 3: He's going to hang around till November, and I.

17
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: Think probably until January, isn't it when do the handover? Yeah,

18
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: that's right.

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: Recently he said this.

20
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what.

21
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: I don't know about you, but I'm going to go

22
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 3: to bed. I get that. That's just, Isn't that just?

23
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 2: You don't have to be eighty one to feel that.

24
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: In the morning when I get up, I just look

25
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: at my bed and I'll be back soon. I'll be back.

26
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: That's the new Arnold Schwartzen, I go, I'll be bad.

27
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: You get about scared of death, but really, when you

28
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: look at it, it's.

29
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: Just scared of being tired.

30
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 3: It's just a giant constant liedown. Joe, though curious, has

31
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: always been defined by his age. He was one of

32
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: the youngest senators in US history, entering politics at twenty

33
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 3: nine years of age. This is what he said back then.

34
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: I expect these fellows are going to eventually judge me

35
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: on my merit, none of my age.

36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: That's always been the thing. Now he's too young.

37
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 2: Now he's too old, once again saying exactly the same thing,

38
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,199
Speaker 2: judge me on my merit, not on my age. Well,

39
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: what happens to Joe Biden? Will the Democrats get behind

40
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris? Will the American population so much to discuss?

41
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: Nick Bryant is an ex BBC journalist. He's a foreign correspondent.

42
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: He lives in Australia now, but he's spent many, many

43
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: years covering US politics. We're going to talk to him

44
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 2: next
