Joe Scarborough

And I certainly think he has a better grasp on it than probably the overwhelming majority of his critics or certainly did when I spoke with him. But again, the question is, is somebody else running the government for him? Is he incapable of running meetings? I've never talked to anybody that has said Joe Biden's not capable of running meetings.

The complaint that I've heard, not only from, and I hope people are still listening to me because it is important, the only complaints I've heard about Biden internally was that he was angry, he would often get angry, and that it was basically his way or the highway. He would listen to other people, but the Afghanistan issue is a perfect example.

He had everybody, from Mark Milley, every general, everybody saying, don't get out of Afghanistan. But it was, I think at times, it would have been good for him to yield a little bit more to some of his advisors than he did. That's one thing. The second thing is, Again, this is multilayered. I talked to a good friend that I had in the French delegation when they had tough negotiations.

I think it was right after the state dinner, the French state dinner, before the state dinner. And they said they were all surprised. They brought five or six points. And not only was Biden on top of his game, he was, they thought, a bit aggressive. So, again, put into context, and I'm curious, let me ask you, do you do you think that Joe Biden day to day was incapable of running the government?

No, I'm not impervious to all the other data, just as you aren't impervious to all other data. As you said off the top, I don't think either of us land where the toughest Biden critics land, saying that the guy was a drooling idiot and was incapable of running the country. We also don't and have never agreed that the guy was perfect and that he didn't have better days and worse days.

Do you cringe watching that clip? No, I don't at all. I'm sorry. I guess I should. But I see I haven't I haven't seen the meme for the past year or so. I when I when I see that clip, I see again, again, I see myself. doing what any reporter would do, doing what any news host would do.

You go into the White House and you talk to the president of the United States for two and a half, three hours, and you're talking hard policy. You're not talking about football or whatever else. You're talking policy. And the guy—no, hold on. Again, the guy handled himself better than—again, I would guess 99% of those that are criticizing him right now would have, and certainly in March of 2024.
