So biggest media scandal in history, the cover up of Joe Biden's mental acuity for four years
while he served as president of the United States. Can you imagine this? So I'm writing
new chapters on Biden and Trump for the paperback edition of confronting the presidents.
I'm doing that over the summer. And it'll be out. I think it's late October, early November.
the paperback will leave. And when I'm looking at the data for both Trump and Biden,
I wasn't available when we wrote the original book. Biden was still in office, hadn't really
played out all the way, and Trump, no one knew he was going to be reelected. So I'm revising that.
In my analysis of Biden's tenure, his four years, it's really shocking how bad a president he was.
Second worst ever, James Buchanan, the guy before in Lincoln, who was a coward.
Beaconan was a coward.
He allowed the south to rise in ferocity, allowed union forces to be attack with no reply.
I mean, Buchanan, unbelievable.
No one will ever top him.
But Biden's second.
Because nothing worked.
Everything got worse.
Now, you come to the crossroads of, was Biden just incompetent or mentally deficient?
And there's a lot of evidence that says both.
but the mental deficiency was covered up, as we know now, from the very people who did the cover
up, they're admitting, oh, no, we should have been harder, we should have known, oh, no, no,
I knew anybody watching my program, the no-spin news, or listening to me on my 300 radio stations,
they knew. From the very beginning, this was not a rational man. Dodged the press, no accountability.
One word. Afghanistan. In our whole history, there was nothing come close to that capitulation.
And how foolish and destructive that was. It was horrifying. I knew.
Why didn't know these pinheads knew?
Because they didn't want to know, and their masters who owned the media corporations told them not to say anything.
That's the truth.
Okay, let's run it down.
So I put together some soundbites of national television people covering up for President Biden.
go what's false is that he is not capable of doing the job right now or he's not mentally
in tune with the demands of the job anybody any aid who engages with him or reporters we can see
this the gears of his mind are working that is that's an issue pushed by uh right wing media
but it's not correct it's not just making an issue of biden's age it's lying it's saying he's senile
saying he's demented, saying he's out of it.
I mean, I think it's important to sort of state for a fact
that a lot of these are just...
Right. Mentally, he's quite acute.
Seems like it.
My reaction is, as someone who ran against Joe Biden,
as someone who has spent significant amount of time with Joe Biden,
that he is up for this job.
All right, Harwood's the worst.
The propagandas to the end degree.
So all of them were wrong, but most of them knew they were wrong,
and they were saying it because they were getting paid to say it.
or in Senator Klobuchar's case, it's what the Democratic Party put up.
You couldn't be a Democratic center and say, you know, I think Biden not up for the job.
You could.
And then there are the guys who are now profiting off Biden's delusion after propping him up.
So prop up, but when he goes down, let's profit.
That would be Jake Tapper of CNN.
I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline.
That's what I'm referring to.
It makes me uncomfortable to watch somebody on stage.
It's so amazing to me that.
And try and figure out an answer.
A cognitive decline.
Well, when you're trying to tell me that what I was suggesting was a stuttering, I have a little bit of stutter.
Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter.
And I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
Of course you do.
You pinhead?
What is it dishonest now?
And this is the guy who puts out a book and goes, oh, the cognitive decline.
You're judging now, aren't you?
Tapper.
You got paid.
So the publisher goes, hey, yeah, we'll pay.
You know, you document his cognitive decline.
Well, wait a minute.
He just said, you have no standing to judge anybody's cognitive decline.
But give me some money and I'll do it.
Oh, whoa, whoa.
I'm even going to get into Washington Post, New York Times, Boston Globe, L.A. Times, USA Today, Chicago Tribune, on and on and on,
editorial, oh, you can't say that he's in decline. Oh, no. Are they stupid? No, they're not. Some right-wingers
think they are, but that's not true. These are largely educated.
people who have a frame of reference, they know the difference between Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
And it's all you got to do is compare Obama to Biden and the way they governed, the way they
handled themselves. That's it. And if you can't see the gigantic gulf between the two men,
and we're not doing apples to orange. It's cliche here. We're doing same party, same left-wing
politics, same structure. Look at the difference. Because we can see these people and hear
them. But you couldn't see Biden and hear them much because they hit him. And the press knew they
hit him, they knew they had no access. Trump talks at press every day. Biden maybe once every
six weeks. It was a reason for that. So this, I think, is the biggest media scandal ever.
The Spanish-American War, that was pretty bad with Hearst, and I don't expect you to go delve
into it, but they drummed that war up. The Hearst newspapers. They wanted the United States to go in and
and clock Spain and take Cuba and all that. That was pretty bad. But nothing like this.
All right, we have four years of an incompetent guy who on any given day couldn't even function.
and the ideological press covering up for him.
I don't remember the right-wing press covering up for Nixon and Watergate.
I remember some dissent from conservatives and Republicans, some support for Nixon,
but not covering it up, not refusing to report what happened.
And, of course, the left-wing media went wild on the story, and Nixon deserved what he got.
Nixon did it. No question. And he was booted. You could have done the same thing to Biden.
Easy. 25th Amendment. He could have gone in. Nobody. Nope. And then the mistake that was made
on the conservative side, the Fox News side, the Newsmax side, was they didn't concentrate, as I am right now, on a
factual basis. They were emotional. Biden's this, Biden's that, blah, blah, blah,
blah. No, you don't need to do that. One word, Afghanistan. Just take it apart. But what happens
if you're an ideologically based person is you get emotional, you get upset. Look at this.
Look at this, liberal, listen to this conservative. No, you do it step by step. You build your case.
but there wasn't any media mainstream corporate media outside of the conservative zone that wanted to do that and they didn't do it
no big expose on page one in the new york times and watching both but you know this guy's pretty shaky in there
did you see any of that i didn't see any of that see any calls for him to drop out of the race before the
debate? And the only reason they did that after the debate was the polls. That's the only reason
if Biden had stayed at his polling platform, they didn't care whether he was senile or not,
they being the left-wing press. They don't care. Who can he win? We can't have Trump? Can he
win? So anyway, it is the biggest media scandal in American history, by far. And
You should remember it, because they got away with it largely.
The dishonest corporate media, the corrupt corporate media, got away with it.
Now they're getting poked, but no fundamental changes.
You'd somebody get fired.
You see management change.
