I'm going to explain that in a moment. Before we begin, my team and I would love to hear from you to make sure we're delivering the content and analysis you value the most. Please take a moment to complete our short survey. You can find the link in this episode's description. Alrighty, so the reason that Donald Trump Is president-elect again. It's not just because Donald Trump is a unique figure, out of the box, historical figure. All that is true, obviously. The biggest reason that Donald Trump is president-elect again is because Joe Biden was dead the entire presidency, and everyone knew it, and the media lied about it, and the White House lied about it. Now it can finally be said because Joe Biden is exiting office.

This should be the biggest presidential scandal in history, because unlike With Woodrow Wilson and Edith Wilson. Woodrow back it during his second term. basically had a stroke and was completely incapacitated and Edith was running the country. At that time the media was fairly small. There was not a lot of transparency to the public. It did not require the collusion of thousands of people in order to cover up what was happening to Woodrow Wilson. FDR was functional basically until he died. It situations like what have happened with Joe Biden have never happened in the modern media age, but it happened, and the cover-up was extraordinary. And now it can be said. The Wall Street Journal had a long piece yesterday titled, How the White House Functioned With a Diminished Biden in Charge.

Now, by the way, what this means normally is that the Twenty Fifth Amendment should have been applied to Joe Biden. His cabinet should have said he is no longer capable of holding this office, and they should have made Kamala Harris president, but they didn't have the stones to do it. And so instead, they've allowed this diminished president, this person whose brain is not functional, continuing in the office of the presidency of the United States, the most important office on planet Earth. Simply because they didn't have the actual guts to oust him. So instead, they hid it. They hid it from the American public. And here's the thing: we all knew it. We all knew it. I think the amount of damage that did to the Democratic ticket this year is almost incalculable.

Because no matter how many times Democrats called Republicans liars or a threat to the Republic, no matter how much they said that Donald Trump was not normal, it turns out, you know what's the most not normal thing? Keeping a corpse in the White House like Weekend at Bernie's wheeling him around, press conference to press conference, wheeling him out and wheeling him in, and pretending he's sentient while the rest of the public can see everything that's happening. It was one of the great emperor's new clothes moments in American history. According to the Wall Street Journal. To adapt the White House around the needs of a diminished leader, the White House told visitors to keep meetings focused. Interactions with senior Democratic leaders and some cabinet members, including powerful secretaries, like Defense Lloyd Austin and Treasury's Jenny Ellen, were infrequent or grew less frequent.

Some legislative leaders had a hard time getting the presidency era at key moments, including ahead of the US's disastrous palload from Afghanistan.
