Joe Scarborough

I mean, the president, he's a tough job. And having some guy, you know, shooting his mouth off for three or four hours every day about what you do, I can understand how that would get... get under people's skin, just like guys up in a booth talking about some of the greatest athletes and the mistakes they're making.

So same thing with Barack Obama, same thing with Donald Trump, though my relationship with President Trump's been a bit more up and down. through the years. Um, and, and you're not, you're not, you're not a defender. That's the point. I've got to say the same thing with Joe Biden. If I wanted to be a defender of Joe Biden, I would remain a defender of Joe Biden.

I haven't talked to Joe Biden since I said he needed to get out of the race. I did. It's like, it was, you know, uh, but, but again, me defending, I understand some people in some media spheres need to defend Joe need to defend the flag, need to defend whatever they need to defend, you know, I just have no need. Because that's not why I get paid. I get paid for speaking my mind.

And if people say, oh, well, why didn't you attack Biden more? I did on Afghanistan. I did on the southern border. I did on, you know, the pin swimmer. I did on, you know, all of these other things. It's just like, I am really blessed. When I got elected to Congress at a very young age, I got elected despite the fact that Newt Gingrich and the Republican Party campaigned hard against me.

And they did that because they thought I was too conservative to get elected in my district. I won and it liberated me. So the rest of my political career, I got to say whatever I wanted to say without any fear of blowback. And it's the same thing that's happened at MSNBC. Despite the fact, obviously, primetime is progressive. I've gotten to say whatever I've wanted to say.

Everybody I know that knew Biden, that talked to Biden regularly, was shocked. Now, there's a big asterisk here. There's a big caveat here.

I didn't talk to Mike Donilon and I didn't talk to Annie Tomasini.
