But he just says pretty matter-of-factly to Scarborough, this is the type of cancer that you've had for a while. The nature of it is not such that it metastasizes in 100 days or 200 days. And so, you know, that's not necessarily to mean that there's any conspiracy surrounding this. I guess you're more suited to talk about this than me.

But I guess men over 70, there's certain reason not to, you know, get certain tests, particularly with regards to prostate, because there can be some over-treatment. And a lot of times it takes much longer to progress. But... Anyway, just like the blunt nature with which he said it seemed to take Scarborough off guard this morning.

And I think certainly it's going to be things that people are talking about. A lot of bad faith Republicans and like, you know, there'll be a lot of conspiracy theorizing about it. We're going to get into that more on the conspiracy side in a second. But it was interesting to see Zeke's assessment just be so matter of fact on this.

But the one thing that occurred to me reading some of this stuff late last night, early this morning, is I think President Biden deserves some blame for his stubbornness and his desire against what was prudent and what was really right, I'm going to say, not just politically right, but right in terms of the country for the next four years to try to have a second term.

Having said that, it's a very natural human mistake. He was the president. He's the guy who beat Trump. He thought he could keep doing a good job. He could well have Maybe not with this diagnosis now, but he could have kept doing a decent job for a year or two, maybe not for four years, I don't think. It wasn't, as I say, the right thing to do. But I do blame more the people close to him.

People don't have great self-knowledge or self-awareness always, or they do, but they suppress it in the interest of other things. And really, people close to him needed to tell him,

that he shouldn't run again the cover-up side of it i it's not great either but i i do think it's a problem for those people who were close to him i i don't think they told him they they gave him honest advice when he didn't want to hear it yeah
