And that, I think, was someone that is... Yeah, which he made the last fucking year of his presidency about, which is one of the reasons we're all here. And so that, to me, is frustrating. You know, there's been this, like, is it really bad that Biden's back out there again politically? I don't think anyone cares, is the truth. Just no one is... No one's paying attention...

It is just – this was the problem in the election is the American people decided how they felt about Joe Biden. Nothing he said or they did could change – was going to change their mind about it because it was right before their eyes. It was like an obvious thing that he should not run for reelection. And so they made up their mind and went.

And so I don't – it's just it's not going to change anything at all, I don't think.

I think – yeah, I think that's true. I think the press is going to – like, this is going to be a hurdle that attests the press is going to – and I use the press in the broadest thing. I mean, Kristen Walker on Meet the Press to the podcaster who is doing the interview. Like, Elizabeth Warren got taken down on a podcast, not – on the Situation Room or whatever. Right.

I think there's just two more things I want to say. I know I said I didn't really want to talk about this, but now I have a lot to say about it. So I apologize for that. No, fine. The one thing that I found very frustrating is Biden can't – I mean, I know this is the – like, we know him. This is the pride in him.

But it is – I find it very aggravating and infuriating – frankly, infuriating when he says that he thinks he would have won because I feel like that's so – it's politically insane, right? It's just – it's like detached from reality.

But even if you truly believe that, to verbalize that in such a direct way repeatedly is, to me, so disrespectful of Kamala Harris, who he put it in an impossible position. In a gazillion ways, right?

From like some of the things she had to take on as vice president to the three weeks in whatever it was between the debate and when he actually got out, the month, I guess 30 days or whatever it was, like that he took that time, like answer that question better in a more respectful way to your vice president who in a different world would have lost his vice president.

If he had stayed in the race, she would have lost his vice president and she would be the front runner for the Democratic nomination. She may still be that right now, but it's different because she was the nominee who lost. And so it's just like – so that angers me.

And the second piece is there is just like – it is deeply naive for Biden and his team to think that he can really change the conversation around his legacy right now with interviews. I think there's a real chance that decades from now, Biden's legacy will greatly improve people's minds because people will look back at some of the really important things he did.

He beat Trump, the pandemic, maybe some of the long-term investments he made really bear fruit. And he can end up like someone like Harry Truman, who was a one-term president who was left very weak and then ended up as being seen as one of our greater presidents. But that happens over time. It's not something you're going to solve on the view. And so it's like step back.
