to protect him from, I don't know, having meetings with anybody. Ron Klain was the lead of that. He was described as having more power as a chief of staff than just about any modern chief of staff. He would play, he would run interference anytime someone dared suggest that Biden had any cognitive problems. And he was still saying this in August last year.
He was complaining that they've been forced out Biden in August of last year and saying that he was fit and sharp and all of this. So I enjoy him attempting to salvage what remains of his reputation. But he's a bad person.
I don't know if I'm being like more fair to him or anything like that, but I do want to try to say like the best case scenario here, and it does seem binary. It's either he's being aggressively duplicitous here or he's a total moron. Like the fact that all of us from so far away
Could like see Joe Biden's decline in real time and noted regularly and that these people like the best explanation explanation for their or the best accounting of their behavior and their oh my God I can't believe this happened it was so terrible.
Is that they just didn't see what was going on they were oblivious to the fact that this man didn't know where he was most of the time and here at least he seems to be admitting. Like we are doing debate prep and the president can't keep up. After 45 minutes, he didn't seem to know where he was or what he was talking about.
He couldn't understand that when he looked into the camera in a kind of confused way, that wouldn't suggest to people, wow, Donald Trump is saying crazy things. It would suggest to people that this guy really has no idea what planet he's on. And it was I mean, this this should have been a five alarm fire for them in real time. They shouldn't have let him run at all.
But certainly while you're in debate prep, even before it airs, you should be calling every single high profile Democrat, you know, leaking this story to every every member of the press you can. Yeah. So that you can try to replace this guy on the ticket. And they did not do those things in real time. They are waiting till now. And that's the part that makes it all look so kind of gross and slimy.
Also interesting that like where is Joe Biden? It's not unusual for presidents to go dark after the inauguration. He went to see a play. Barack Obama, you kind of did see him around in 2017. He may not have been giving grand statements. Joe Biden is gone. They've disappeared him.
He might be in El Salvador. I don't know.
Can I retract my earlier statement? It's just duplicitous. Just a liar.
But there is actually not a small deal. I mean, like, no decisions were made from that. And we don't know who did them. And one of one of the decision makers was exactly wrong claim.
That is the weirdest moment. Like, I mean, as Matt said, there were real consequential decisions being made and it's not clear who was making those decisions. And this highlights and underscores that Biden did also have a moment like this, though, back when he was vice president, where he's publicly talking about student loans and and federal subsidies for higher education.
And he just kind of candidly acknowledges in public, in full view of everyone, in front of a battery of cameras. Yeah, I mean, they've raised the prices of college. I'm sorry. Federal subsidies raise the prices of college. So every once in a while, the truth just slips out there. But apparently other people are just telling, no, no, no, this is what you actually believe.
We live in a TikTok world, Boynehan. He was just the head of his time.
It's avoidable if your chief of staff, who is one of the only people in your inner circle, along with Dr. Jill for two, three years, if that chief of staff, instead of protecting, encasing the president of the United States in bubble wrap, says to people in 2021 that, That this is happening because it is happening in 2021. He is witnessing it.
It was not a surprise that suddenly came down from the heavens in the summer of 2024. This is something that has been long gestating that we've all noticed and that certainly he noticed more than Kamala Harris also noticed and then pretended not to and didn't really get many questions about it until like 88 days into her presidential term.
So the way that you avoid this is that you tell people ahead of time, you note that he's the oldest president in history and that he said he was only going to really run to forestall Donald Trump. And you start looking for alternatives. Ron Klain chose not to do this. His tears are delicious.
and are openly lying. I mean, for Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's cognitive decline was pretty much her January 6th. Like she could never admit the truth about this publicly. Obvious political reasons, but still you are actively lying to the American people as you're running for office. And you're lying about one of the most transparently false things imaginable. My boss is always great.
He could totally do this job. He should be running. I mean, he's great. He could totally do this. There was never any problem. No. To the extent that's true, you believe that's true, you're only demonstrating that you do not have the judgment to be president of the United States.
And to the extent it's not true, then you are, again, just another duplicitous liar who is willing to say just about anything if it means that you get elected and get to stay in power.
