phone call that comes in the middle of the night, a national security emergency that we expect our president to be able to handle, cabinet secretaries told us that they did not think he was up to that task by 2024. And that's concerning. Now, what James Comer is able to find in his committee. I don't know.

There is a lot that is subjective, and I would be astounded if executive privilege were not invoked so that the top aides who really knew what was going on didn't ultimately just decline to answer questions. But I do think that there are questions to ask.

I mean, there are a lot of responses to that. First of all, you know, books like this get written all the time. When a presidential term is over, participants in the term are much more willing to speak than when it's going on.

Yeah, but I mean, it always happens. I mean, Alex and I were astounded by how many people we got to talk to us because very few of them spoke to us when we were trying to get answers to these questions during the Biden presidency. Or if they did, they weren't as candid. So, I mean, that's one, like these kinds of books get written. Two... What happened was historically unprecedented.

It's never happened before that somebody gets his party, an incumbent president gets his party's nomination, has such a bad performance at the debate with so many questions about what that reveals about his cognition that his party essentially forces him to step down. It's never happened before. And we thought it was definitely worth exploring.

Three, to paraphrase George Clooney for an interview I did with him about his op-ed calling for Biden to drop down, like, I mean, to anybody who says that, like his answer is, how do you think we got Trump? That's what George Clooney says because of this. And number four, I think just as a political analyst here, the Democratic Party has a real problem.

And I think the problem is not as much about bathrooms as it is about people. the feeling that so many people in the public have that the Democratic Party was not straight with them about any number of things, but perhaps top on the list, President Biden's acuity.

Well, I had seen, as we all had seen, his decline, the parts that we saw on camera. His reliance on a teleprompter, his unsteady gait, moments where he was not as articulate as I'd seen him in the past. You know, obviously he's aging, so... That's the one thing that we're all experiencing. So I'm 56. I'm not insensitive to what aging is like. But by another token, you'd call people.
