And I love when it's like, is he president of NATO or president of the United States? It's like, he's neither, actually, is the answer to that question.
And, you know, allow me, Matt, to know to kiss up to our host who loves Kara Swisher so much. She's a great journalist that she is. Is that there's two things here in that thing you just read. there, the Whipple says, and I actually, I think this is actually a pretty smart analysis. He's like, you know, it's actually darker than just a coverup that there was a delusion.
And that strikes me as probably true. I mean, just from, from his reporting, but there's two tiers of this. There's the delusion from within the white house, but there is a coverup and it's from people in the media. That was where the coverup was. And remember all of these quotes from people like on morning Joe, like, Oh, I saw him do a pole vaulting yesterday. And
he cleared like eight feet and everyone's like, wow, he's the top of physical health. Harris-Wisher asked that question and does it, by the way, in the, you know, some critics say, not me saying this, some critics say, and then he gives this bullshit answer to which there's a thousand examples of what he just said not being true. And you're not ready with those on a sheet of paper saying,
Yeah, but Ron, X, Y, Z, all the things that happened in the past month that showed that he didn't know where he was and just wasn't being responsive to me. I'm like, the problem with Trump in a way is that you can't get him away from a camera like 40 hours in a 24 hour day. I don't know how he does it, but it's the opposite of Biden's true. Yeah.
Yeah, no, I like that Joe Biden who cares about big government. That's amazing. Dementia Joe Biden is the best Joe Biden. Dementia Joe Biden is like a Hayekian. It's unbelievable. I don't know if I misheard this, but you said he was getting debate prep from Jeffrey Katzenberg, right?
Here's a problem. Don't trust the guy who had a media organization that wasted one point, what, two or three billion dollars in seven months and went out of business. The last thing that would be. Yeah, the short form thing that we all want. It's like five minutes. Yeah, because everybody wants five minutes.
Joe Rogan just did an episode for three and a half days and people are still watching and they love it. But we need five minute videos. Thanks to Jeffrey Gadson.
Yeah, it's just out of touch. You get a 70 year old media mogul who just pissed away a billion dollars. That'll save it.
But all others around the medical practice, medical, real doctor, all others around the president could see, quote, something was terribly wrong.
Yeah, I mean, it's also the the the other thing to I mean, Matt points out something that we tend to forget, because if you asked me early in the morning, I probably wouldn't even remember who ran against Donald Trump in the previous election. This Kamala Harris is so forgettable.
But imagine this when you have a party that's putting forward presidential candidates in the main idea of the campaign is avoidance. Right. You know, Joe Biden is avoiding interacting with the press, interacting with people like, you know, every time there's a Joe Biden interview, people are like, you know, biting their fingernails.
Is he going to just, you know, tank this one, too, and show people who he really is in the state of his brain, to be honest? And then what happens with Kamala Harris? She becomes the nominee and she avoids the media for how many days? I mean, it's just like you have a party who's like, we don't want to interact with the American people or the media. Right. And the media is on your side.
The media is high fiving you, trying to push you back into the White House, the party back into the White House. And on the other hand, Donald Trump, love him or hate him, think he's doing a great job or a terrible job. He's constantly interfacing with people and with the press. And sometimes that's going to produce some bad results. But people like that.
And they also don't like a party that seems like they have constantly something to hide.
There was some kind of unnecessary panic about it for a minute. And I don't think the Stefanik decision was more about New York than it was about Florida. But, you know, those margins, they don't surprise me at all. And I don't think they mean anything because, you know, these are seats that Republicans won by, you know, 30 points and they win them by 15.
That is meaningless because they're two people who no one had ever heard of. They don't have any name recognition. They're special elections. It doesn't mean anything. This purple state that is now a solidly red state in Florida. And, you know, what the takeaway from this stuff is. Oh, and by the way, about a voter I.D., that's a bipartisan issue, actually.
Not not when it comes to elected officials, but a bipartisan issue. When you ask the average American voter who's like, I'm a liberal. Yes. Should you show I.D.
Yeah, that was surprising that there was that low amongst Democrats. I hadn't seen that number. The thing that I've been saying this for years, I mean, I think this is like the like the steroid issue. It's like in baseball. It's like, you know, just if people take steroids, they just hit home runs all the time. It's like, no, you have to be a very good baseball player, too.
That's the same thing with money and politics, people.
