Weekly Skews - Weekly Skews - 7/09/24 – Biden VS Time

Episode Date: July 10, 2024

Skewers this week we talk about the same thing everyone on the American left is talking about: should Joe Biden step aside? More importantly: will he? With almost indescribably massive implications for November and beyond, someone needs to answer these questions, and soon. As for us, we opine. Support the show

What's up everybody? Welcome back. Happy excuse day to you. Turn my air conditioner off. It's July 9th, 2024. I'm Trey. That's Mark. How you doing, Mark? Hey, man, good. We were talking about the have a fun show, talking about the ravages of time, everyone's favorite topic. How was your fourth, bud? Do you have a good time? Pretty good. Yeah, you know, I went to this like Hollywood. you know, Hollywood potluck, a bunch of improv comedy.

People, so obviously by there's like, you know, super lefty or whatever. And it still heartened to me when they had the big fireworks display. Like, their house is in a place where you could see the neighborhood fireworks display very well. And they, like, were playing the Star Spangled Banner and Lee Greenwood. And people were saluting and singing along and all this stuff. So, you know, I still, I like, because, you know, we're always complaining about how they co-opted patriotism. You know what I mean? And it's, I like to see a bunch of, a bunch of big old California liberals getting

down with America still for one last time. It does hit for me how fireworks are technically illegal in Los Angeles, but like every overhead helicopter shot from the news looks like, you know, Beirut in 1983 or some shit. They, you know, set them off in the street all over my neighborhood. My wife had to work all day. We wanted to go out to dinner, but I think it was close. We ended up going to the cheesecake factory because it was the only thing opening. So proud to be an American.

Yeah, that's very American. one of the greatest Americans, Mr. Vince Young, famously went broke at Cheesecake Factory. So I don't know if you recall that. That was like the number one excuse he gave for like running through all his money was they went to Cheesecake Factory. So, man, that's my own swollen heart. It was like every NBA player's favorite restaurant on the road was Cheesecake Factory for a long time. I'm not really sure why, I mean, it's fine.

To me, that's the whole pitch for Cheesecake Factory. It's like, whatever you like, we got it. It's fine. Yeah. No, I know. I mean, you know, I got love for Cheesecake Factory. factory for sure because like you said the menu is expansive and I also like cheesecake um and other American icons besides Vince Young uh Joey Chestnut had his own hot dog eating contest

after being banned from Nathan's famous because yes he got he got a deal from impossible to do endorse vegan hot dogs right and impossible is a multi-billion dollar corporation and Nathan's is a hot dog stand so but they decided to flex their muscle and say Joey chestnut can't make money so they booted in from their contest so their winner had 58 hot dogs in 10 minutes joey chestnut over by himself ate 57 hot dogs in 5 minutes and i'm just like is anyone let's call an athlete for purposes of this is any athlete ever dominated their sport like joey chestnut has eating fucking hot dogs it's like nathan hit on the order of you know gretsky and michael jordan and whoever that cricket player is that people talk about on the internet sometimes

yeah he's got to be up there with him it's like he's literally twice as good as you know the next guy like i don't know if jordan was like fully twice as good at tiger woods necessarily that's a big gap yeah yeah jordan wasn't even twice as good as the worst player in the NBA that's he was the greatest but like it's like it doesn't work like that in most places but like Nathan's banning it was so funny it'd be like the NBA banning michael jordan because he endorsed Nike and they have a deal with Reebok or something and so it was yeah but the thing so Nathan's like, they, like, are that contest, right? Like, meaning they fully own it. It's like they own the league. It'd be like if Nike owned the NBA and wouldn't let anybody. I still think that, like, he's the number, name another competitive eater. Like, name the guy that won. Do you know the guy's name that won it this year with Chestnut?

Right. So, like, I feel like it's kind of a, you know. Yeah. I mean, before Chessnut, Kobayashi was just as dominant before, but not as good as, but not as dominant. He was relatively dominant, but he was put up nearly the numbers as chest as chest not. It's just,

it's just wild to me that like, we all can only name one competitive eater, and he got banned from the Super Bowl of competitive eating for finding a way to make money off this dumb skill that no one else has, which is the most American thing in the world. Yeah, it'd be so funny if we spent the whole hour just talking about hot dog eating and contests and stuff like that. People don't like we talk about like sports, sports.

And if we shifted into this particular sport, competitive eating, it'd be very funny. Listen, so we're getting a couple comments. And also from Matt, I know we had some technical issues before we started, but there's a little like popping going on with your microphone. I'll keep talking for a minute. If you want to maybe, if you switch to the other mic and see what happens or something, I'm sorry, this is happening. But you can, it's like a, it's my normal mic set up.

I don't, I mean, what mic should I switch to? I don't know. And Matt says it's the thing from before that, which was fixed when you restart. We have to get, you're like, there's like a popping noise every so often when you talk. Like, if you try the MacBook microphone, even though it's not as high quality, maybe that will fix it. Is this better? Yeah, I mean, well, yeah, we'll see. Yes, I think so.

Okay. I mean, obviously not as much, but you're not cutting out anymore. And I think people would prefer that. Okay. So, more Fourth of July news. Yeah. So C-TAC, Seattle's airport, had a drone. Have you ever been to a drone show, Trey?

No, I didn't even know that was a thing. It may, I kind of like the idea. Is that like, you know, like how close is that to like Spider-Man technology with Mysterio? Probably not. Very close. They can do, yeah, I mean, like, I've seen like do like the Chinese dragons in the sky with like thousands of drones. It looks really fucking cool. Dude, no, I didn't even know that existed.

I'm excited by that. Yeah. Cool. I prefer them to fireworks just because they're new and different. And I've seen all the fireworks. But they don't go boom also, which is good for. veterans and dogs. Everyone's favorite, two things. So Seattle, they had a drone show there. They had the city paid $40,000 this company put on a drone show, and 55 out of the 200 drones just fell into the lake.

This is extremely, they tried to figure out what we're wrong. The best theory is somebody, there are drone guns that fire like interfering, like, RFD waves or whatever. Radio beams or something. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So the people. paid $40,000 for this. The drones are worth $2,600 a piece, so 55 times $26,000 is $143,000. So between the city and this company's insurance company, they'll $183,000 lost because one psycho decided to go joker with it. I feel like that wasn't in Seattle.

If that was in like any Southern city, they'd just never be able to do this. I mean, hey, it's a new type of gun. You can have, it doesn't fire actual explosives, so that's a downer. But the fact that you can like duck hunt drones, $50,000 drone, or, $2,500 drones. Yeah, rednecks would be all over that, dude. Yeah, this technology is supposedly illegal, but just like everything in America,

there's always a guy with a hookup. But the backstory of this is also funny. This is just like an extremely American thing. So the reason they have the drone show is because they used to have boat races on this lake. And some nini found an exterior, Washington State Supreme Court case in 1932 about navigable waterways

they used to ban the boat show And the same logic was the noise They couldn't have fireworks That's why I have the drones You got like an HOA nerd Ruding saying that you can't have loud boats On July 4th Forcing the city to have this drone show

Instead of a much cheaper fireworks show And then it's all going wrong Because some vigilante psycho Decided to like do prank shit And ruin everybody's good time Just like This should be the flag Right

So these drones They're not loud Like fireworks they're just pretty in the sky. Yeah, yeah. Because a lot of people, like, you know, people raise issues with fireworks periodically on account of like, you know, veterans and dogs and stuff. Not liking them.

And I've seen people be like, look, they're just pretty light, pretty explosions in the sky. Do we really need to torture people just for the, in the sake of that? So drones seem like a good compromise, but then here comes the high-tech redneck over here. Yeah. Popping a mile. They go, they do go with, like, using this music play,

there's a soundtrack to it. So there's like there is loud music that the drones are essentially dancing to. So anyway, it looks cool. There's a drone show in your town. Go check it out. Don't take a drone gun. All right.

Oh, we got an important update. Yes, very important. Excuse democracy universe. We had a big poll in the Patreon over the fart noise and dumbass graphic. And no fart won in a landslide. The results are in. Look at that.

59 to 41. No fart pulling out the victory. Look, it was hotly contested. very hotly contested, and no fart came out on top. Listen, y'all, I know some of y'all are upset, this, especially Kim Coussida, I'm sorry, Kim. This is democracy manifest. Yes. I don't know, you know, Kim, a longtime skewer in patron is also a doctor, and she's been raging in the comments by how people are being unfair towards farts, which are a perfectly normal bodily function and do not deserve the stigma attached with them.

And I appreciate her and all of her efforts. But, again, we have to go with the will of the people. so there will be no fart. I don't know if Matt got in on this early enough to change it tonight, but even if he didn't going forward, there will be no fart. So there's foreseeable future. We'll see what Matt has in store for us. I'm sure it's going to be ominous and whatnot.

We hear it skews underlight the global conservative American populist movement. Respect the will of the voters. So we will not have a fart going forward. All right. So with that news in mind, let's continue. Producer Matt is with us behind the scenes. Doing the things. This is weekly skews.

As for the show tonight is Mark reference up top. the agony of the slow march of time, if other time comes for us all, including the President of the United States, Joe Biden, all the talk right now.

What is going on with his brain? I think we all kind of know. But should he step down? Will he step down? What's going to happen? Are we all going to die eventually? Eventually, yes. But perhaps sooner than later.

Who knows? We'll talk. We will opine on the matter a little later on. But first, we begin with the Daily Dumbass, Matt, the graphic. Okay. There was. Hope you ain't that far. People are happy. And I mean that. I do hope you're happy. Tonight's the day day, this guy for, this guy for volunteering to die first in the uprising. That we are in the process of the Second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be. That we are in the process.

All right. So that's Kevin Roberts. He's the head of the Heritage Foundation, which is, you know, one of those... Yeah, he's based The original brain Behind Broderick 2025 Heritage Foundation is like Federalist Society adjacent group that does like a bunch of like conservative astroturfing at Reagan of the courts

Roberts has his PhD in history or whatever and as close as I can tell before this the closest thing he had to a real job was like being like the president of like fake Christian unaccredited colleges. So I'm just I'm sick of getting death threats from these fucking weenies like it's just like okay can you and I just meet the parking lot

and we fucking settle this shit? Because like going on TV and threatened to kill all of us just is not hidden for me. And like they're just saying out loud that they're going to like execute a bunch of people and I don't know if they're going to do it but I hate that they exist.

Me too. Yeah, it's like they're going to do it but you know, but then when they do it, it will be our fault though. Like that's also the implication. We will allow you to live maybe if you keep your fucking mouth shut

and play by the rules. And yes, you're right. It's coming from, you know, an abject dork over here. A lot of the, it's like, you know, like whenever Tucker Carlson talks about, like, the death of masculinity or like alpha male stuff or like, you know, sun in your tanks to power up your balls and all this stuff, it's just so, but it's just, I mean, even Trump, the guy at the very top, you know what I mean? I mean, he's a huge bully.

I get that. But he's a, you know, he's a big fat slob, big fat orange slob. I don't think whoop would whip anybody's ass. So it is kind of weird. Yeah, I mean, like, we don't know anything. Trump used to famously go see like the Broadway production of cats, like once a week, which is not what most the red-blooded American males who like love Donald Trump and draw him with chiseled muscles think of as being supermaskin.

I don't care if people go see cats, go see cats, but they do. So I want to bring this up because Trump has started basically disavowing Project 2025, even though it's basically the brainchild of his movement. Let me quote here from a post he put on two social. because he noticed that people are noticing it, being horrified by it. I have no idea about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.

I get to why that's a lot of me. I disagree with some of the things they're saying, and some of the things are saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. I wish them luck. It's like, okay. So Project 2025 is almost 900 pages long, so I don't doubt that he hasn't fucking read it.

I haven't read the whole thing either. I don't have to do a whole episode or not because it contains Many, many of horror is essentially a George R. Martin book about Christian nationalism. So to summarize it, it proposes dismantled or radically overhauled the Departments of Justice and State, eliminate the departments of Homeland Security, Education and Commerce, radically repurpose other agencies and eviscerated professional services. Not to mention stuff like outlawing porn, and included in their porn is like all kinds of airport degeneracy, which they include like homosexuality and transgenderness. So they also would allow Trump to invoke the insurrectionary.

Act to suppress domestic dissent violence, meaning the protests that happened, you know, the day of his inauguration, they're going to shoot that. Okay. But just in case you're wondering, contrary to his disavowal, Project 2025 has been conceived staff and endorsed by a bunch of Trump insiders. These are a bunch of people who are higher-ups in his original administration. One of the main guys behind is John McEntee, who basically went from being Trump's bagman to director of the White House presidential personnel office.

he's the guy we talked about a while back a couple years ago. He made that MAGA dating app for D.C., remember him? Yes. Where one of the dating out questions was January 6th was blank, right? Yeah. He was a starting quarterback for Yukon for one or two games. He played a total of three games there. When he worked in the White House, he was fired at one point over his gambling debts

because he made him a national security risk. I guess you're wondering, this guy's general vibe, who Trump is half-out. disavowing while employing him. Here's him, you know, his idea for solving, addressing the homeless problem. So I always keep this fake Hollywood money in my car. So when a homeless person asks for money, then I give them like a fake $5 bill.

So I feel good about myself. They feel good. And then when they go to use it, they get arrested. So I'm actually like helping clean up the community, you know, getting them off the street. Man, this like, I, we started off. two people I want to strangle to death off the top.

Like, there's the smarmingness there of like, one, nobody checks $5 bills. He probably is actually giving the homeless person $5. You know what I was thinking too. I was like, surely they're not, that's not actually happening. But I mean, you know, it's just the, I mean, like you said, the smarmingness, he's just like, he seems so Connecticut-y to me. Like, you know what I mean? Like, Connecticut rich white guy with that sweater or whatever that is on saying that

it's like just a car. It's like everybody involved in Trump. It's like Inner Circle is like a cartoon version of a douche bag or a bad guy or a rich evil person. And it's, it's, you know, why I don't have to accept that this is our reality, but here we are. I agree with his Connecticut vibe, and he did play football for Yukon. I think he's originally from California, but he also has a Gavin Newsom sort of vibe to him. But, yeah. I was about to say, well, look, sorry, we both live in California now, and I know it's really going to hit for not hit for a lot of people probably on both sides.

but like California white like money to California white and like Connecticut white with money like there's a lot of overlap between those two types of white and you know they're both kind of like boat shoesy yeah whatever you know so

yeah so I'm just defending what I said earlier but I do I do believe that though but I wanted that Trump about the project 225 stuff like you said you're sure he hasn't read it I'm certain he hasn't read it too and I but I feel like he um I don't think Trump, like, really believes in pretty much anything other than just, like, him and how awesome he is and him being the best and just winning or whatever.

And so it's like him, like, he's only, he doesn't care about that he just wants to win, right? So he found out like, oh, people don't like this or it seems like people don't like this. So he just comes out and says, yeah, I don't like that either. But it's not like he would actually stand in its way, though, you know what I mean? And like, if he gets elected and all the same people around him, they'll still do it. And he'll just let them do it because he doesn't care about it in either direction because he doesn't care about anything. So even like a discipline, you could make the argument, it's like, oh, well, the fact that he has enough sense about it to at least say, like, all this is bad, you know, that's something. But it's not, it doesn't really matter either way.

So Trump's running a much more disciplined campaign than he did in 2016 or 2020. He's keeping his mouth shut when he should. Like, he's been completely gone for the last 10 days since Biden's debate collapse. He's just, like, doing what you should do, playing golf, drinking Diet Coke, and being an asshole in private, all right? What he should do as far as if he wants to win, all right? So, but like, the part that he does care about is project 2025 and combined with the Supreme Court rulings from a couple of weeks, last week, a couple weeks ago, would allow him to use the Justice Department, basically order them to arrest Joe Biden January 21st next year. All right. That's the part he cares about.

the rest of it, the Christian nationalism stuff, doesn't give a shit. As long as he gets to persecute people and prosecute people, they're okay with it. But as far as... He just do what he wants. Yeah, but he knows it's unpopular, so he's disavowalien. Even though involved in it, like, because it gets 900 pages, so every different department, every different former department had a different idea for how to streamline, i.e., do a coup in his area of expertise, right?

Like, so Stephen Miller contributed to it. Remember Stephen Miller, Trump Whitehouse? Of course. Yeah, he was... Ben Carson wrote a segment of it about the housing and urban development. Peter Navarro is a White House Trade Advisor under Trump wrote a part of it. Russ Fault, Director of Office Management and Budget under Trump wrote a part of it. And also, Trump's Super PAC, Make America Great Again, Incorporated.

It's been running ads for promoting a website called Trump Project 2025. So this, I don't know about it shit. It's fucking weird and ridiculous. No one should let him get away with it. But also, I'm not sure to the degree anything matters anymore. But like Josh Howley, for example, these people feel so uncowled. He doesn't even feel the need to lie about this anymore. Listen to this shit.

Some will say now that I am calling America a Christian nation. And so I am. And some will say that I am advocating Christian nationalism. And so I do. All right. Fuck you. All right. I'm not going to church.

He wants to go to my head. You can kiss off. So, so Kamala Harris gave a big speech about Trotterich. 25 a couple of days ago and how the media isn't focused on it. And this was the Washington Post's framing and a source of a lot of our problems right now. If you thought this up, Mac, let me read it here from the tweet slash summary from the Washington Post reporter. New Orleans, speaking at Essence Fest, one of the largest annual gatherings of black women, Kamala Harris only mentioned Biden once and wasn't asked if you should concede as we got to continue as reelection did. All right.

This is how it is. Yeah, right. Right. It's just like nothing can break through the noise right now because everything is about Joe Biden. Right. His brain maybe not hitting at times. I know. And I know that's what we're going to talk about Biden in a minute. But I mean, why is all of the American mainstream media seemingly like that right now?

Like it is, you know, like you said, she talked about Project 25 and how dangerous it is in their headline about they literally don't mention once and only focus on what it means for Biden and whether he's going to concede. It's like anything, anything, there's renewed scrutiny or interest in all these old rape allegations and pedophilia allegations of Trump and stuff like that. But it's like, even with those, it's just somehow turns it to like, yes, but look how old Joe Biden's still. Like, we just keep talking about how old Joe Biden is. And I know we're talking a little bit before the show and you said enough, it's just like, that old Teflon Don thing is apparently true. It's like, it's just because like the standard for him is just so low. No one has expectations for him, so it's not, like, newsworthy to talk about all the vile stuff surrounding Trump. It doesn't get clicks because no one cares anyway or the people that do care are always outraged by it.

I just don't, I just don't understand it. Are they, is it just because they want more drama at the end of the day? Like, because there's media. That's certainly part of it. Controversy gets attention and clicks, right? But also, like, voters have been saying all along that Joe, Biden's age was a major concern of theirs. Now, let's, let's leave Trump out of this for a second.

Let's just talk about, like, our end of the house and housekeeping it for a second. Because these are the people we've chosen to, we've empowered to protect us and save us, save America. Let's be, let's be corny and romantic for a second about it, all right? But, like, this does, reporters, there's like a race to get the biggest scoop, okay? which is just the business and competitiveness in general. But also, there's a damn broke because once everybody sold the debate performance, it felt like everyone had been lied to for years, all right? And no one likes feeling duped.

And so, like, the reporters who did cover voters' issues with Biden's age were roasted to death by the White House for there not being any there. Then it gets up on a national debate stage and can't talk. and it's like there's a fuck you to this too right and it's kind of a deserved fuck you because I feel fucking dudes like we we spent a ton of time on the show making fun of conservatives

talking about Biden's age and like my thing is like I don't care about Biden's age I do care about his ability to prosecute a case and Trump to get reelected and be able to do the job and then during the debate they told us they told us we're going to do the debate and your fears will be assuaged do you feel

that your fears were assuaged? I don't feel at all assuaged. That feels zero percent assuaged. Right. And that does not mean that the national media is covering itself in glory right here. Like there's been a whole thing about, like, this doctor on the White House visitors logs is an expert in Parkinson's. And he shows up a bunch. And people were treating that as a breadcromb that Brojo Biden has Parkinson's.

Now, the White House, they just signed a bill called the National Plan to End Parkinson's Act. the law of this doctor is well respected and has written a lot on the subject. The bill provides a bunch of funding for research and treatment and other kinds of stuff. So there's other reasons that's not conspiratorial. It's like it's okay to be like you guys, I don't think it's okay to report these on the business logs, but I don't think it shows what you think it shows, right? But it's just like I'm always thinking about like in every cop moving to 80s. There's always that moment where they have the field day.

I'm like what the fuck. Yeah. This is what it looks like. Okay. But it's like you said that, I mean, I feel the same way about, and I feel like that's where most people are, hey, don't like to feel like you're duped or like you've been gaslit or whatever, like you're continuing to be gaslit when they act like it isn't a big deal anymore. Because like everybody didn't see what we all saw. You don't

have many of the people try to downplay it. That nobody likes that either. But it's like you said, I don't, I still don't even really care about any of it because like there's a system in play. Like, you know, there's a succession plan. I said in the video I made about at the time, the people around him, I trust infinitely more than the project. 2025 crew that's going to be around Trump like it indescribably so and so I don't even really care that like I said in the video I was like just prop him up in front of Matlock with some applesauce and keep the trains running on time or whatever like I don't even really mind that much but it's like you said what I do greatly care about is

how it affects his ability to win what matters the most at the end of the day and I feel like it's pretty clearly impacting his ability to win perhaps devastatingly so and that is what I and you and I think the vast majority of people are so worried about and what seems like I don't know is like lost in the show or like he or

they are just not picking that up or like you know he still keeps saying he's the one that he's the only who else can beat Trump but me who else can do this whatever it's like I just don't think that people are buying that anymore people are worried and it's because of this yeah

To be fair, like Biden gave a speech to NATO today, and apparently did great, but the thing is, like, he apparently does great on teleprompter and bad off teleprompter, whatever your takeaway from that is. And one of the stories that come out, like donors are starting to panic. Their money is drying up because he, when he does donor speech, he's talking about like 15 people in a living room talking for 10 minutes, he uses a teleprompter, all right? And I know we're saying about succession plan and backup plans. The question now is, like, whether or not the succession plan should be implemented, and what is it? Right. Right. So like, it's not like people act like these questions are like out of the blue or like it'd be unthinkable to replace a president. We replaced a bunch of presidents. Like it's like it's not like it. I'm not going to say it's routine, but how many people have been assassinated or died in office? It's not the list isn't like, considering we've only had 46 presidents. It's not like that relatively that short. And like I, to be clear, okay, I'll be voting for the Democratic nominee. I always vote 10. All right. Of course. I always vote for the most viable left-wing, most furthest left candidate. And in American context, there's never been anyone available to me too left-wing to vote for.

I can't even imagine what that would even be. Like, Chairman Mel would not want a House district in the United States, all right? And also, to be clear, something needs to be said, is everyone involved in this debate wants Trump to not be president. The contentionists here is like these are like debates among allies and friends. but I'm just ready to eat shit and concede that while Biden's age never really mattered to me I just give up I accept that it's a valid issue to a shit ton of people and they're the people who are persuadable we're going to decide this election and I can't tell anybody what to do every option has risks no one can tell you what will happen when you make a decision maybe Biden is right and he can win if you're riding with Biden or whatever I get it just don't send me

angry messages about my takes because I don't know how many fucking power. And yeah, I mean, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, of course we're both going to vote for him. I mean, yeah, I vote for literally anyone other than Donald Trump for the most part. Like, it's just, you know, it needs to be talked about and it is being talked about, but for good reason, Matt gave us a little, a little fact down here, Mark, historical fact. Apparently, I don't know where he quoted this from, Wikipedia or somewhere, but it's in quotation marks, you know, it's legit. Of the 15 vice presidents who went on to become president, And eight of them succeeded to the office upon the death of a president.

Four of those were later elected themselves. So, but that's, I mean, I don't know about, I mean, you know, what's Amendment 25 or whatever, which is kind of vague and nebulous isn't about what actually qualifies for. And that's what it's, Amendment, I think is when it says like because of incompetence or incapacity or however it's worded, you know, that he doesn't have to die that he can like be replaced. but like how does that actually work and is he going to do it?

And then also like he had that, you know, he had that interview with George Stephanopoulos and which was weird. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, but he also said,

I think he said that. If you said somewhere, it's like the only thing that should determine this is, you know, the American people or whatever. And it's like, I know he was, he was elected the Democratic nominee,

like fairly four years ago, that did happen. But I'm pretty reasonably certain that if you could just hold a, a brand new primary for every registered Democrat next week or two weeks for now or whatever, I do not think it's going to be Joe Biden. I don't think he represents the will of the

people anymore, even though that did happen back then because things have changed. They're extenuating circumstances now. Right. And it's not a we hate Joe Biden thing either. It's just like, it's just like it's just like, it's just I like Joe Biden. Yeah, it's just that he's going to get to die of old age, assuming Trump doesn't

murder him when he takes office. And like the rest of us are going to be stuck here after he's long gone, living on with the, you know, reverberations of his decision. And like, like you said, like there was a, I think with CBS did a poll of Democratic primary voters, and they won a new candidate at 55 to 40, all right? This is another CBS poll about, does Biden mental and cognitive health, does Biden have the mental, cognitive, and cognitive health service president? On June 9th, does not, is it's at 65%, and now it's a 72%.

So it's trending in the wrong direction, okay? Pretty low to begin with, too, by the way. I guess I'm not shocked by it, but yeah. And the thing that kills me, is anybody remember why we had this super early debate to begin with? The Biden campaign wanted it, and they wanted it to try to combat this narrative, all right? They wanted to dispel the fears that he was in cognitive decline. It says it didn't dispel it. Have you heard the Hopium conspiracy theory from people on the left that the real reason they had to debate early was because people inside knew this would happen,

and they needed to get the ball rolling on doing something about it? Well, if that's, sure. There's a lot of, there are a lot of opium conspiracy theories going around right now. Sure, if that was the effort, it hasn't worked so far because Biden has been strident about how he will never step down and you'll have to, like, pride the president to have his cold dead of hands,

which is assuredly Trump's plan. So Biden is in a sense the 2020 polls underestimated him, so I believe him now. But that's just not true. polls overestimated him in 2020. At this point, in 2020, he was up nine by a 538 national poll average. I know that's true because I can remember during the high,

well, maybe I shouldn't say this, but I'm about to say anyway, during COVID, like in lockdown and all that stuff, we would have little like, what's the word distance, social distant?

We had little like get-togethers outside in Drew's yard where we're sitting six feet away from each other, each drinking our own beers or whatever. So I know that was the summer of 20, 20, so roughly around this same time frame. And I remember you were sitting there saying, like, very, you know, straight face, like, look, Joe Biden's going to win. Like, he's up by this much.

He's going to win. This is going to happen. Like, everything points in that direction. It's going to be. And the rest of us were like, oh, man, I don't know about all that. And so I know that the polls were not bad for him then because I can remember you saying that because it had such an impact on everybody because everybody was like, dude, shut up. Shut up.

You're going to, Jenks, what are you doing over there? obviously you were right but yeah when you look at that as compared to now it's not good plus like you said dude Trump is like or his people or something they're more I don't know it's like they've actually learned from their mistakes

it's like you said he seems well I know that he's still a full bore lunatic and there's all this terrible stuff about it that no one pays attention to but like campaign wise it's like you said it's like he's playing the right game or whatever and it's all just the perfect storm of terrifying I saw a calm to some

I was earlier about, like, his newfound campaign discipline. It was like, well, in 2016, he thought he had no chance of winning. And in 2020, he thought he had no chance of losing. Now he's campaigned to someone who was a chance to win, but also a chance to lose, like an actual professional operation to a certain degree. And that's a little bit frightening. So anyway, so up nine at this point in 2020, and as of today, 530,000 down 2.1 nationally. Now, you've got to bake in a curve to that where it's, yes, it's inside the margin of error,

but a Democrat has to win the popular vote by plus two points to win the electoral college, generally speaking. So essentially when you're down two, you're down four, okay? He's also the first Democrat at the trail in National July poll since the year 2000 when Al Gore was behind George Dickie Bush. All right. So these questions about his fitness are not going to stop being asked because they're about his inability to speak at staperaneously in public.

And the only way they addressed that problem is to speak of stiparaneously in public which there's something he cannot seem to reliably do. Right. All right. Like it's so big, then at this point entrenched that I think to dish this narrative, you'd have to like go on America's Got Talent and do skateboard tricks for our site in the Maddo Carter

and solving a Rubik's queue. Like it's just like it's like it feels intractable. Now. Yeah, it's one of those things. Even, you know, like you said, with the stay of the union was great or whatever, even if he did something that was like, well, you know, that very next day after the debate,

he made a speech and was and was perfectly fine or whatever. It's like even if he did something And they may people like, oh, okay, maybe. I still don't think it goes away, but also he can't do that every time. What happens the next time he goes out and has to talk? Do you know what I'm saying? It's like there's like a flip, a switch you can flip and just fix him. I mean, even though like the Republicans think we got that magic pill that for some reason

we're clearly not giving him anymore, but like that don't exist. So even if he pulled off some big astonishing feat of cognitive prowess in front of the entire world to see, he still got there and papawed up the very next weekend or whatever you're just right back to square one because clearly that's what's going on with his brain at this stage of his life

so it just is what it is and we're not going to know like again it seems to be like the speech was on teleprompter and the debate wasn't right it's just like I don't know I don't know what to make of that and we probably won't know like if there was decline how fast it happened

until some tell all books come out way too late after the elections happened, that we all want to kill the person who wrote it. Okay. But everything they do to... You know that's going to happen, dude. Every time. Yeah, from inside Biden's White House, the fall,

and it's like, you know, we're throwing into fascism or whatever. But everything they do to try to fix this problem makes it worse. Like, Biden gave a couple radio interviews this weekend, and, like, both radio hosts came out later and said the White House gave them pre-written questions that Joe Biden had been prepped for, and wanted the woman get fired over it. because you're not supposed to do that.

You're not supposed to take the campaign's questions and pretend that you're being a real reporter. This is like a radio host who got fired names Andrea Laughal Sanders from a WRUD radio in Philadelphia. All right, WRUD is Philadelphia's only black-owned radio talk station. So all Joe Biden went on this radio show to try to, again, assuage people's fears about his aging and ended up making them worse

and also getting this lady fired from her job. All right. Biden went on mourning Joe yesterday. I had a hard time reading a paper. He was trying to read Trump quotes You couldn't quite get through it. Being president isn't about this kind of stuff. But getting elected kind of is.

It's a stupid popularity contest in a lot of ways. And I hate that, but like, let's operate in reality for a little bit because a bunch of people seem to not be doing that. You've brought the George Stephanopoulos interview from Friday night, which, again, the whole point of this was to, you know, make people feel better about his ability. And it's like, but this made me, the content of it may be furious, but also listen to the sound quality because there's another important thing going on here and if you stay in and trump is elected and everything you're warning about comes to pass how will you feel in january

i feel as long as i gave it my all and i did the goodest jobs i know i can do that's what this is about no no no that's not even a little bit what this is about this isn't a fucking pay-way football game it's not as long as everybody has fun out there as you know that's what matters. Like, no, it isn't. Democracy is what matters. The future of this country and everything it stands for is what matters. The stakes are very high here, and you giving it, you're all in feeling good about

yourself as you march off into the twilight or into the horizon. Ain't got shit to do with none of that. Also, like, did they spray tan him? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Look, he's orange. You dip shit's like orange, right? He's orange. He's denying the polls.

He went on Morning Joe, which is his favorite TV show to complain about the polls being fake. Who does that sound like, dude? Right. And that answer, like, it's basically like, don't you guys understand there's extras in my biopic about proving the haters wrong? I'm like, no, fuck that. Fuck that shit.

Now, I'm not sure he didn't quite parse what exactly he was saying there, but Maureen Dow in the New York Times, who sucks. I'm not, this isn't about Maureen Dow being good or anything. But she transcribed that quote in a column she had in Saturday's newspaper. And she transcribed it as, I'll feel as long as I gave it my all. And I did the goodest job as I know I can do. that's what this is about. Okay, she got an angry phone call

from Biden campaign spokesperson who demanded she changed the quote and the change they insisted upon was I feel as long as I gave it my all and I did the good as job as I know what I can do. Now, we prepped the show in a Google Doc.

I was going to flagged you that their correction, the Google Doc did the blue squiggly line, that's wrong. And the other version Dow transcribed did not. Yes. Right. So I don't know what the fuck. This can't be the plan, man.

This can't be the plan. I don't know. I did think when I first listened to it at first, I was like, did he just say the goodest? And then I was like, oh, no, I think he said as good as good, which still doesn't, I know that that's still not right. But I had that thought process. So it's like, maybe they're just like, it's still funny to go like, no.

Technically, he said this also wrong thing or even more wrongery, you know, grammatically speaking like it's funny that that's a hill you want to die on when it's like it still didn't sound good in the far plus that is just so not the most important part of the statement itself right I don't care

I more brought that up like the I'm offended by the content of it that we're all characters in a Joe Biden movie but like but also like I don't care about transcribing the quote I'm just talking about I probably brought it up to point out the insane shit that they're really worried about is that yeah I know right no

I know. Yeah, it's crazy. They should have pushed them back to what everybody's upset about. Yeah, but people did notice the actual content of it. Let me quote Adam Schiff here on NBC. That is the answer to the most concerned me. This is not just about whether he gave it the best college tribe, but about whether he made the right decision to run or pass the torch. That is the most important decision for him to make right now.

Now, the people who are calling for Biden to step down, there are some weird bedfellows in these trenches, man. I can't quite, it's like a cross-partisan, cross-eological coalition for people. people who are just in deep fear that Trump's going to win versus people who just don't feel like speaking up, all right? And like like the like so like the average Schiff superfan is like a by hardcore Biden Houston member while Schiff himself is sibling he, Biden should step down.

And the average Bernie fan is joined the Kamala's k-hive while Bernie is holding the line for Biden, right? I don't understand what the fuck is happening right now. Like right now the policy of America guys are more critical of Joe Biden than the squad. Shit's very weird right now, and I don't really know how that makes sense of it. I think, you know, we're already, we've basically, we've been talking about how this ain't good. We figure something out, this ain't going to work and all that.

But, like, to me, it's pretty much like, there is still time to act right now. It's not a completely lost cause. Like, at least in theory, there's time to do something about it. And so everyone should be screaming, like, now, right now, we should be doing something about this. y'all should fix this, address this, whatever. If they don't, and I still kind of doubt that they will just because that's just how they are, if they don't and it ends up being Joe Biden, and that's like set in stone, once it is set in stone at that point, then I don't think it would be beneficial for anybody to still be.

You know, like at that point, I think you've got to be like, look, he's better than Trump. It is what it is. Shut up and just do it and just leave it at that. But we're not at that point yet. So this is the time to, you know, bitch and moan or make your voice heard. And we're two, again, we're two people going to vote for the Democratic nominee. It's not us your need to convince. I would literally rather wrote for a dead body than Donald Trump.

And they might make me actually do that. And that's the part. Well, I say they, it's Joe Biden. No one else can make this decision. But he has the delegates. He has the nomination. He has the presidency. Okay.

So, but like, like, they're talking about people wanting to do something. I want to go through some serious copium from respectable liberal punitive. I've seen the last few days. One idea for something to do is to have Joe Biden resign and Kamala appoint Barack Obama, her vice president. Because the Constitution will then serve three terms as president, but it doesn't say he can't be vice president. And they're pitched in the country being like,

he's actually going to be technically the president, but not really, right? That's not it. That's not going to work. As far as the Biden's debate performance, I saw people saying that, like, they did Havana syndrome shit, saying that Russia or Trump used directly,

energy weapons to make Do Biden not talk good. See, that's just as dumb as when in the run-up to it, conservatives were saying that he was getting the super serum or whatever in the secret laboratory. And I don't be that dumb. Come on. I'd rather be a little better than that. Our coalition is not the mega coalition. All right?

We're not a bunch of fucking sycophantic joiners. And asking us to be like this is self-defeating. I'm not going to bullshit people. Like, I believe that Russia shot Joe Biden in the head with a directed energy weapon to make him talk bad when he's 81 years old. Right. And he's up at night. He's talking from 9 p.m. to 10.30. Okay, that's, I'm not doing that.

The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, there's no, I would bet my life there's no orchestrated conspiracy at ABC to elect. Trump for whatever fucking reason, but what seems obvious to me is his voice was frail, said to turn the gain up on the audio is super high. Yeah. That seems like a much more obvious conclusion than he's being sabotaged by malicious

actors. He just can't, like, you heard him talking to the debate. He can't, sometimes he can't be that loud. He had a cold, right? He had a cold. All right. So what other Democrats up to all this is going on? Let's talk about to the House for a second. Hakeem Jeffries, Democrat leader of the House, tweeted a verse in the book of Joshua over the weekend.

be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. That's right after the passage where Moses dies of old age, and a younger leader takes his people into the promise thing. All right. Today, Jared Golden, who's a main Democrat in a district that Donald Trump won by seven points in 2020, published an op-in response to Biden's debate performance, saying he'd be fine with Trump winning the election. Quote, unlike Biden and many others, I refuse to participate in a campaign to scare voters the idea that Trump will end our Democratic system. First of all, fuck this ass kisser who just wants to keep his job in Congress. But do you know what Roco's Basilisk is, Trey? No. No. It's a thought experiment about say if an all-powerful

and otherwise benevolent AI came to control the world, it would be incentivized to go murder everyone who didn't aid in its development. All right. Okay. So kind of what you're seeing here is this guy being like, hey, Donald Trump, if you need controlled opposition, I'm right. over here. You don't need to throw me in a fucking camp. Yeah. So. Yeah, man. Now even the, even the fucking Democrats are bend in the knee for Donald Trump at this. It's like

the power and swine this guy has over so much of our political process. So there was a House Democratic caucus, a big House Democratic Caucus meeting this morning. And one reporter saw this scene where a Democrat congressperson was walking out of the meeting. And a protester, like a mega protester was like, Trump's going to be president, and the congressman responded, well, can't even argue with you,

and kept walking, all right? If you wonder what the vibes of Capitol Hill like right now. There's a bunch of people who want Biden to stand down, but very few of them are going public, although some of them have. But a reporter says you talk to a bunch of Democratic congresspeople, and quote, I haven't talked to one who thinks he can win. Another congressman said the caucus meeting felt like a funeral, and another one responded to that, but saying it feels like an insult to funerals, which is fair, because there are laughs at funerals. Yes.

My favorite response was Alaska Representative Mary Peltola. She's a lady who loves fish we talked about before, who won by talking about how great fish are. She left Washington to go back to fucking Alaska to go fishing. She's like, fuck this. I'm going fishing. Yeah. Let me read this.

Today, the officer representative, Mary Sadler Paltola announced that she would be absent from the house floor for the week of July, to do what she has done every summer. Put up fish for her family. So she's catching her winter's dinner. So half of Democrats is like replaced Joe, half like keep Joe and Bull Toll was like fish. I like it. I like respect it. Bro, are they, is she really, she really like, you know, they got to like stock the larder with fish for the wintertime and like like the Alaska congressman?

That's some, that's a frontier shit. I think she's part native. Okay. So it's like a traditional. All right. I mean, still, that's hard core is what I'm saying. That's legit. You're wondering why they're freaked Biden severely underperforming against downball.

The race is in every swing state. Like Nevada, for example, Jackie Rosen is running for Senate. She's up 8.3 and Biden's down to 5.2. That's a 13 point swing. It's closer in other states, but just like the same dynamic in Pennsylvania where Biden's losing, Dacey's winning, Arizona, Biden's losing, Diego's winning, Michigan, Biden's losing, at least Slotkin's winning. All right.

It's not good, man. Right. So, again, the polls could all be off. We could do that, coping with you want. that they're all off by 13 fucking points. Okay, we could do that. And what's Biden's last line of defense is basically saying if you try to take this from him,

I'll burn the whole fucking party down. He warned the question of how to move forward has been well-aired for over a week now, and it's time for a tan. It's been well-aired, but there hasn't been any response to make anybody feel better. And this part,

we talked, alluded back there. He's just kind of turning into Trump. It kind of makes sense. He's turned a bit Trumpy as his brain stops working as good. But he denounced the elites who he's accused of trying to push him out. bro, the elites are the president of the United States? What are you talking about?

Like, what's next threatening to run third party if you push him out like Trump did? I mean, dude, I get that like, you know, I get that like Papal never wants to give up the keys. You know what I mean? I understand that that's like a thing. But it's like we said, it's just, that's why that answer he gave was so alarming. It was because there's just so much at stake here. And he always talks about, like, putting, you know, country before yourself and all this type of stuff. And it's like, that's what we're asking you to do right now.

Like you said, it's not, this isn't like a we hate Joe Biden thing. Like, in fact, if he did do this, I think he'd be lauded massively. Like, you know what I mean? People would be like, like the respect and adulation, I think he would get for actually making this move would be like, look at this man, putting aside his own, you know, his own personal wants and desires and all that in the name of our democracy. I mean, shit. Yeah.

Be heroic, you know, to people on the left anyway, to like to his caucus. And I mean, but instead, whereas if he doesn't. The sister's bipartisan. You know, it's going to be the exact opposite. He's going to be vilified forever. And it's like the guy who gave us up, you know, to fascism, essentially, but out of stubbornness and papalism. What's the guy, the, the guy in England before Churchill, the one who's, it's more confident that.

Yeah, like Neville Chablin's remembered as a historical villain for not, even, it's not totally fair to him, but like, it's, appeasement. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. Or it's somewhere between Neville, Chamberlain and Herbert Humphrey, all right? But like, so a bunch of like, there's a bunch of like bullshit obstacles being thrown up to like Biden stepping down or whatever.

Like people are, I think, like, their ballot access problems, but like, Joe Biden's not officially nominee yet. That doesn't happen to the convention. Until then, the party can put whoever wants on the ballot and voters saying they want somebody new and their, Kamala Harris has Democratic legitimacy. She was elected, vice president. This is not some. Like, I don't know, I've never seen the academic term for this, but like, I, the one I came up with my own is, like, manufacturing obstacles.

And I was thinking, like, when I was a kid, if I was, like, told to mow the grass and didn't want to mow the grass, like, literally anything wrong with the lawnmower, like, the engines, like, flooded. I know how to fix that. I'd pretend that I didn't because cartoons were wrong, all right? Right, yeah. So. Well, I tried. Yeah. Yeah. They're doing that now.

Like, well, we put into it, actually, we can't do it. No fuckers you can. But I, like, I said a bunch of shit that I regret. did our Patreon episode after the day of debate, where, like, I bought into that, and that's not totally correct. Yes, there was campaign finance problems with the $212 million they have in the bank, but Kamala can spend that in, like, whatever. And like, we talked about the French elections for a second. The good guys won in France, all right? And people being like, well, they did that. But what they did require sacrifice. Hundreds of candidates had to voluntarily

stand down to block out the right-wing fascist movement. And the lesson there is that we act selflessly we can beat fascism, and if not, we probably won't. And for anyone who says it's too hard for the Democrats to pick a new nominee in four months or two months before the deadline is or whatever, everyone from the French communists, the business-friendly neo-libs,

put aside their differences for a week to consolidate candidates and deliver a crushing blow to the hard right. They did that in weeks. Like, this is, I'm so fucking frustrated, man. But it's like, but is it, is it I mean isn't it just mostly Biden and those closest to him right now

that like needs to be convinced right so it's like it's not there's not a broad it's not like we're really divided right and I know you said there's still people they're riding with but I think like you said they just don't want to speak up or they're or they've written it off as like look he's going to be the nominee so what are you going to do that type of thing but like

it's you know it seems pretty united to me and saying like he needs to step down and it's just getting him to actually he still is the president. And, you know, so it comes down to him and his family or whoever he's got in his ear. Right. When people say the Democrats, it's like, there's no like, there's no like cabal.

It's just like, it's just, it's Biden's decision to make. And like, it's also reporting today. The only person he might actually listen to would be Nancy Pelosi. So, but it doesn't change the fact that we're allowed to speak for the time being. And I don't say my fucking opinion. It's like, this is really frustrating. And it's like, I, no one's asking for Biden to be. put to death, we're saying you go live on a beach in Delaware and have a pension, right?

It's like, and like if we surrender to fascists before France does, our papal's ghost will fucking kill us. So this year number of people I've seen like being hopeful about a Kamala Harris camp candidacy is crazy. And I was trying to figure out what it is. And then it's just like a lot of this is just like people feel nihilistic, right? People feel hopeless. Like LOL nothing matters because everyone's going through the motions like nothing's at stake in the shit. And I read this piece by Ossita Nguennavu and The Guardian, who really, he crystallized it for me about why people of the left are enthusiastic about Kamala, even though she's, you know, a former prosecutor, not left-wing by any means, but like it would be, it would be a concession

to reality, which is sort of what democracy is supposed to be about. Right. And like, let me quote here, voters think Biden is too old, journalists think Biden is too old, behind the scenes, Democrat officials think Biden's too old. Beyond risking a loss, Biden is contributing to the feeling that nothing matters. He's corroding the faith in politics he promised to restore. All right. Yeah. I mean, that's the number one thing.

It's like, because it's like when it, the day after the debate in my video, I was like, y'all know that shit ain't going to happen. And part of the reason I said it was just because like I said, that just don't ever happen. Like, anytime we're all united and being like, why are they doing this or why don't they do that? They should really do this. I really wish they'd do this. And it's like, that just never happens, it seems like. like, you know, this would be

that actually happening, which is why it would be, like you said, a concession to reality, and I think people would breathe a sigh of relief, you know? Yeah. Like, the thing that needed to happen actually fucking happened for once, we'd never get that in this country, so. And, like, he would literally be carried off on people's

shoulders by the centrist's bipartisanship caucus for giving a pig patriotic speech about he to pass the torch tomorrow. Absolutely. Now the time to think about the future. But, like, I'll tell you about... Selfless acts in American political history, like, by far. It would be remembered, you know.

People would compare to George Washington voluntarily stepping down after two terms when there was no term limit to establish the president or turning down becoming king, okay? Those things are like, it's like, I feel like if I could go down as a legend and not have to be the president anymore, I totally take that deal. You know, but like that sounds way better. It's like a fired college football coach getting paid $10 million to not coach. You know what I mean?

And it's like, it's a win-win. He needs somebody telling him this shit or he needs to be listening at least. The amount of like, like, Kamala standing I was seeing from otherwise lefty accounts on social media was crazy last week. Like people were posting, people who defund the police accounts are posting positive Kamala as a cop memes. All right. I thought they were to game stop her to be into fucking God emperor. It was like crazy. And like, like, and going back to like we talked about where she tried to talk about Project 2025 and the whole article is about

you didn't mention Biden's age or whatever. Even if you think this distraction is stupid, he's taking up so much oxygen, somebody has to do something to get it off the table. And if Joe Biden can't get people to stop talking about it, but I don't know, jumping a BMX bike over a gorge or some shit, then a change has to, like,

unless you think the polls are all off, like seven points, something has to change. Right. Because, like, coasting to failure just isn't an option. And newness hits for people. People like new stuff. They like change. They like fresh air.

Just in recent political history, New Zealand labor swapped in a new leader in 2017. They got a huge immediate boost in the polls. Kevin Rudd was swapped in a prime minister candidate for Australia in labor in 2013. He didn't win, but polling got a lot better for them. And it narrowed his party gap, which pulled on to a few seats in the House. And the Senate might make a big difference, even if Joe Biden's – Kamala Harris still loses.

Right now, Japan's prime minister is so. unpopular, that the Liberal Democratic Party over there is considering replacing them with several other people because they want to have a chance at winning. This is not like unprecedented or weird. I don't know what we act like in America, like any sort of change from the status quo is absolutely unthinkable. And on the more hebraithing side of things for people who at least have some ideas, this lady called Rosa Brooks, who's a Georgetown University law professor who served the Obama and Clinton administrations and worked in the Biden campaign in 2020 and a big campaign fundraiser named Ted Dintersmith, which

Dintra Smith is the most, you know, campaign donor name I've ever seen in my life. They have this idea for a blitz primary, which is where basically you have a weekly four of leading up to the, to the convention, where they have, like, events hosted by cultural icons. They list Michelle Obama, Oprah, and Taylor Swift to engage younger voters. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my fucking life. At least they're trying something. Yeah. And the question. Yeah, that's a real blue sky shit right there.

Right. Just throw anything out there. Nothing's too dumb. We could say whatever. You know, it's just someone like, wouldn't, wouldn't this be cool? We'll get Taylor Swift to interview Pete Buttigieg about train. Yeah. And young people will TikTok about it.

Ergo, a thousand-year, Neo-Lib Reich, or whatever. It's so fucking stupid. And like the question everybody has to be thinking about, if you accept the reality that Joe Biden is behind, is how much would you gamble on a Biden comeback? Not much. Not me. because like we said it's not going to that ain't how time works it's not how brains works

not any of this works like it's not going to get better it's even if it makes you hear better shortly yeah won't get better you know events can't events could change media season it's not fucking hopeless it just feels stupid to me like like the economy could like start booming if people stop caring the housing device could go up uh Trump could get arrested Trump yeah Trump could die like the stuff could change and he can still win but I'm saying like knowing what we know today on July 9th, 24, what's the best course of action? Joe Biden, goes in the beach chair.

It was like it to me, but whatever. Absolutely. I don't know. I guess we'll find out. I don't know. Y'all be here with us alone for the ride. I certainly hope so. Thank you.
