And it's very concerning to a lot of people that this could be the leader of the free world. That is all I'm saying. I genuinely feel sorry for Joe.

Thank you so much. Great to be here.

The story that we wrote, Alex Thompson and I, about President Biden's decision to run for re-election despite serious questions about whether he was up to doing the job, and then as he deteriorated a bit physically and mentally, the attempts to hide that as much as possible from the public, and even from people in the White House and cabinet officials and the like, is a tragedy.

And this latest news that we heard from President Biden, and of course, like everybody listening, my heart goes out to him. My prayers are with him. I hope the hormone therapy for the cancer works. This is part and parcel of the story of Joe Biden. This is equally a tragedy.

And yes, of course, it makes it – I want to be extra careful with how I talk about it because I don't want anyone to feel like I'm reveling in any of this. But the book was written, as you know – As a tragedy. Here is a person that has gone through so much in his life, so many horrible things fate has thrown at him from the very beginning of his life to today.

And that instilled in him a spirit that so many people love, which is the guy who gets up after getting knocked down. And it also created a sort of... theology around Biden where he could do anything. And that led to the situation we're in.

If you take a step back, big picture, Donald Trump, the president, Republicans controlling the House and the Senate, top Democrats with whom we spoke, and Alex and I interviewed more than 200 after the election of 2024, feel like that was a real disservice to the party, to the country, and paved the way for Donald Trump.

I do. But more important, what we uncovered in our reporting was that far more important people than me were misled and lied to. I mean, I'm just a journalist. White House has lied to reporters all the time, every White House. But they were keeping Biden's condition.
