Joe Scarborough

a presidential candidate or a politician, when they're calling me up complaining about something that I've done on the air, I go, thank you very much. I appreciate your input. But usually I hang up the phone and meet somebody who's then I'll be like, oh, that was fill in the blank. Oh my God. On his talking points. It was pretty embarrassing. I didn't get that with Biden.

I, in fact, when I finished talking to Biden on, on, I guess it was 22, late 22nd, Um, I hung up the phone and I said to me, I go, you don't have dementia. Whoa. Uh, because again, it was, it was not just cogent. It was a better really analysis, analysis of the situation than I'd heard from, from most people, unless it was, let's say it was chairman McCall or somebody running, running a partner.

Oh my God. Yeah. Anybody, anybody, anybody. And then, and then there were other calls there also is, it's not a secret. Mike Barnicle is a good friend of ours and a friend of Joe Biden's and talk to him regularly, you know, probably weekly. I'd always talk to Mike and again, there's no grand conspiracy.

So, so that there were a lot of those meetings. There also, there was again, this two and a half, three hour meeting that I had with him. I think it was March, may have been March of 2024. Yeah. And again, We went in, it was supposed to be like an hour lunch, which is not unusual. I've done it with Donald Trump and been in with Barack Obama. We go in pretty regularly. But

I asked him about our flex in Asia, what was going on in Guam, what was going on in Philippines, what was going on with Australia, what was going on in South Korea and Japan, talking And he really took me around the world. And I will say, if you and I lined up 100 Washington politicians, he handled those answers better than 99% of them. Ironically, this will be a surprise to people.
