It is, though, those habits of mine among journalists, let alone Democrats, that we need to sort of read.
And let me show one.
You know, it's not just half of the media ecosystem. It's two thirds of Americans in 2022. Like he's too old. More than half of registered Democrats consistently said as of 2022, dude is too old. We should have other people running for president. That would be a better thing to do. And so the I mean, Kyle Smith, the great movie reviewer for National Review, Wall Street Journal.
He's great. Had a comment yesterday in the wake of all of this, tweeted out something like, you know, I guess there's a market for books where journalists try to figure out what Americans already concluded. Yeah. That's a little weird. Part of what Chuck taught, I've seen him in the past. You know, I'm glad that he's on his discovery tour. It's ELO 1979 here.
But it's part of it is that he he's one of the people who said, and I've heard this a lot, like, you know, I can't believe that the I trusted the insiders who told me he was doing well. I couldn't believe that. I feel burned. No, dude. Like there's when you are critiquing and covering power. And this is true of critiquing and covering Donald Trump as well. Different set of stories.
But you can't just take the word of people who are very near the throne of power that they're that they're not going to be. operating according to their own sort of response to the incentives of wielding that power. You have to treat all of that with skepticism. You have to treat, like I love the unnamed person who said that Biden totally screwed us. The unnamed person named David Plouffe.
That's who that was. My life savings, which admittedly isn't that much, that that was David Plouffe. And of course, he's the guy who squandered a billion dollars trying to elect Kamala Harris by not having her give a single interview.
Trump is saying let's not act like children.
And also, remember, too, I mean, some of us are old enough to remember Joe Biden when he was just a yappy senator, right? Yappy plagiarist.
But he was he was yappy. He would he would love to hold court and talk and come on, man. And I know this. We got to split Iraq into three different provinces and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's not the Westbury guy. The New Yorker, the New Yorker piece. The excerpt was infuriating.
Also, shout out to the great filmmaker Steven Spielberg and the whatever he is, Jeffrey Katzenberg, because in the year of our Lord, 2024, they were out there adjusting the microphone levels. They wanted to make sure that he didn't sound like he was, which is like this now. The opposite of what he used to be. What are you doing? Right. You people are great filmmakers. Spielberg is.
And you're trying to basically use the magic of Hollywood cinematic arts to pull a fast one over on the American public. That ain't cool. Super not cool. You know, there's a thing that we do with if we love our olders and our elders, you know, which is when grandpa says he's he can still drive, as Biden was asserting Joe Scarborough, you say, well, you can't. So give me the keys.
My sainted mother, who's sharp as a tack, she's voluntarily stopped driving because she is a moral person and thought like, oh, maybe I'm losing it just a tiny little bit. You don't expect morality from presidents or the power seeker because they're going to be mad with power. But the wife, Dr. Jill, at any given time could have said, you know what? My husband's old.
Maybe he needs a nap on the beach. And she did by all accounts. She was right there in the middle. He is fit as a fiddle.
Wiener-Toobin combo.
Right.
Michael mentioned the party that we were at to watch it. After 20 minutes, and this is people who are way too politically engaged in New York, bipartisan. After 20 minutes, it was so uncomfortable that people left to go in the back of the room because they couldn't face it. Like it was upsetting as America. We're laughing now because we like to laugh.
But it's genuinely upsetting when the president of the United States is not there and you realize you've been lied to and that he's been not there for a long time. How did we get there? That's it's terrifying.
some of that was is aspirational um you know the dawn of a new day it's possible like it's possible we can get a deal done with iran which would be great um but a lot of people have thought such things were possible in the past so i think you're right to point out that this is kind of a needle scratch um on american policy and that also it is refreshing to hear someone say that like nation-building
didn't work. I do have questions about, of course, Trump can't just leave it there, right? He does name names. He named Biden in particular. And it is weird. I'm old enough to remember 9-11, that 15 of the 19 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia. They were- There is that. It's not a small thing. The Wahhabist ideology or strain of Islam is baked in Saudi Arabia.
