And the reality is that Joe Biden knew that, which is one of the reasons why he was so determined not to drop out. And I don't blame him for on some level thinking that he would have been the better candidate because it's hard to imagine how somebody could have been worse. And on top, you know, I mean, he's at least proven over 50 years that he is a adept politician.

He knows how to win elections. You know, in 2020, he won. He was in the Senate for one for vice president. Yeah. It's like even with his brain melting, there's still like a part of him that you just kind of like you wind him up and he's like, hey, I'm Scranton Joe. And it's like an instinct that she completely lacks. So I almost understand his his bitterness.

There were a lot of people on the base of the party on whom they rely who would have said, how dare you pass the black woman by who was elected, who was at your side, who was next in line and choose a white man or a white candidate instead. And the identity politics framework that they created that they thought would help them has become their Frankenstein. And they were trapped.

They could not they were damned if they did and damned if they didn't. And they hoped that the media would be able to create enough of a fraud that it would lift her and hide her flaws. And it just didn't come close to working.

You know, despite how much I criticize media and journalists, or if you want to call them that, journalists, if you're being very generous, I actually believe in journalism a lot. Like a lot of times I'm criticizing it because I want us as a country to have good journalism. It's absolutely crucial. And one of the things that... sickens me the most when I listen to montages like that.

The lying is very apparent. It's the herd behavior. They read from scripts. I don't mean this metaphorically. I believe they get literal scripts. You know, like two weeks ago when Elon Musk spoke out against the spending bill and It ended up being sabotage.

And you saw this coordinated effort by the Democrats to call Elon Musk the president to try and drive a wedge between him and Trump, which was so obvious. Go look at how many Democratic politicians, how many people in media did that overnight. They all copy one another. They speak to one another first. They pick up on each other's language cues. There's no individuality.
