President Biden is getting the Trump treatment. And a brutal lesson in what happens when the full force of the media trains its crosshairs on your mistakes, your mishaps and your misinformation. First the president’s aides blamed a “cold” for his disastrous performance in last week’s debate. Now the president himself says it was jet lag. The problem is that everybody knows the president returned from international travel a fortnight before the debate and spent almost a week at Camp David to prepare. Biden says it’s “not an excuse, just an explanation.” In fact it’s neither. It’s a lie. And the many people who’ve defended him blindly for years - reasoning that nothing could be worse than another Trump presidency - now feel they are being taken for fools. Last night the White House Press Secretary was forced to deny that the president has dementia. Will that turn out to be a lie? Megyn Kelly, Journalist & Host of The Megyn Kelly Show joins to discuss Followed by a panel: Co-host of The Verdict with Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson Dave Rubin, creator of The Rubin Report And liberal talk radio host, the former Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner Hosted on Acast.
