Should we bother talking about Joe Biden's new memoir and what does it reveal?

Ben Shapiro 0:00
I have a question. Are we supposed to literally do 15 minutes on Joe Biden's book and Trump coin? Because that sounds hellishly stupid. I have no idea how you sustain that. Also.
Brent Scher 0:15
Go ahead.
Ben Shapiro 0:16
I mean, okay. I mean, well, I mean, you know where I'm going to take it.
Andrew Klavan 0:20
I can't even do 15 minutes on Ro Khanna, I think that's me.
Ben Shapiro 0:23
Oh, yeah. No, I'm going to take it directly to the struggle session for Michael. I mean, last week. was last week. It was a bad moment, Michael.
Michael Knowles 0:32
It was a great, frankly, it was a good time to be on vacation, which I was all week. But no, I'm actually, I'm on board with like this stage of this whole saga, I think is great because it's like the, it actually does go along, well, we'll get into it on the show, but like it gets into my thesis that the thing that's going to The thing that'll stop all the kind of crazy theories is just gonna be like the courts and it's gonna be like actual acts that occur. And what was crazy to me about the preliminary hearing was not even all the evidence from the prosecution, it was the defense. It was like the defense had, you know, very weak moves, wasn't bringing up any of the conspiracy theories and explicitly rejected those theories.
Michael Knowles 1:16
So you're like at that point, you're like, is the is the defense in on it, too?
Ben Shapiro 1:20
You know, it was, you know, it was the I think it was the combo of that. And also, I mean, I will say that the the shift to mockery was definitely a big thing. Yeah. Because I think that we had to get to a place where we could move beyond how evil it is for this person to be doing this to how absurd and retarded all of this is. Because it is indeed absurd and retarded. That's a big part of something. And I think that we may be getting back into the world of actual humor, which is gonna be nice. I mean, it feels like it's been about a 10 year period since you were allowed to make jokes. Yeah, yeah. And so I'm very much into the idea that we're allowed to make jokes about things again. It was like only a particular type of joke that you could tell.
Ben Shapiro 2:02
You remember during like the Obama era, You couldn't tell jokes about Obama. It was real bad. Like he was the sainted one and you could never tell jokes about him. And then during the Trump era, you could only tell certain types of jokes surrounding President Trump, but not really like he couldn't make fun of President Trump when he said a dumb thing or something, because that'd be a sign that you were with the liberal elites. And and now I think we're kind of getting beyond all of that. And we're going back to a certain semblance of normalcy where you can just make fun of retardation wherever it exists. And that, I think, is a good thing. Nature is healing.
Andrew Klavan 2:31
I must have missed this period where you couldn't make jokes. I may not have been paying attention. I'm not sure.
Michael Knowles 2:37
Well, that's usual. No, we're back. It's like the 2000s are back. We've got Congress fighting to pass a budget. We've got a war in the Middle East. We can make jokes again. We're back, baby. This is it. And you know what we're back on? We're back on Friendly Fire.
Bruno Satin 2:56
Friends are gay, so you need to tell them he's a friend.
Michael Knowles 2:59
Yeah. So, OK, I just off the bat, they want us to talk about this Joe Biden book. But if we were to do that, we would be the only people talking about the Joe Biden book, including Joe Biden. I'm kind of like hearing it for the first time. Joe Biden has a book out.
Andrew Klavan 3:17
I know. The jokes kind of write themselves, but they're not that good.
Ben Shapiro 3:22
Well, the auto pen writes the jokes.
Ben Domenech 3:28
The auto pen writes the jokes. That's the exciting stuff. on the day as it stands. Namely, one Joe Biden. Like, if you were going to pick one politician to put into the AI box and just sort of have something to spew out, auto-pen wise, wouldn't it be Joe Biden? I mean, just, you know, the eloquence, the stories, the big fish tales. You know, I want an entire chapter on corn pop. Somebody put hop that into grok or or quad and figure out what what joe biden would actually say you know today about corn pop uh you know maybe maybe take the take the intelligence level down a couple of notches uh from from his uh from his heyday in the u.s senate the title of the title of the book is promised me america by the way it's promised me america yeah i mean which is which is basically like book with an answering title i can't say on the air you know
