Speaker 1 (00:00):
I thought this was notable.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
We're going to play It's a long ish segment from CNN,
not too long, but it is absolutely clear that the
herd animals of the media have gotten word or sense
that it's okay to engage in this sort of thing,
and it's utterly out in the open for he has done.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I don't know if it's similar things, but he's sort
of told some stories that don't line up quite like
this before.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yeah, this president has a pattern at this point of
either inventing or embellishing stories about his own past his biography.
He did it three times in one speech last month alone.
He claimed he had witnessed bridge collapse in Pittsburgh when
he actually showed up about six hours later. He claimed
that his grandfather had died just days before he was
(00:49):
born himself at the same hospital. In fact, his grandpa
died more than a year before in a different state,
not the same hospital.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
And he also.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Repeated a favorite fallse story had debunked over and over
again about a supposed conversation with an Amtrak train conductor
he was friends with who was actually deceased at the
time the conversation would have had to take place, and
that's not all. There are some more serious ones, in
my view. Previously in his presidency, he claimed at one
point he'd been arrested during the civil rights protest, when
in other versions of the story he just said an
officer had taken him home from a protest. He said
(01:21):
he had visited the Pittsburgh synagogue where warshippers were killed
in a twenty eighteen match shooting. In fact, he had
actually spoken to the rabbi, but never but never went.
And he's made a whole bunch of others too, he said.
At one point, Republicans like to bring this up. He
said that he used to drive a tractor trailer. He
used to drive an eighteen wheeler. Never happened. The White
House later clarified he used to drive a school bus
(01:42):
at one point for as a job briefly school bus,
of course, not an eighteen wheeler. So whatever his intentions,
whether it's you know, foggy memory about stuff that's going
on decades ago, or deliberate embellishment, this is unfortunate pattern
that keeps coming up again and again with Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Well, and he got run out of the nineteen eighty
eight presidential campaign for saying stuff that turned out to
not be true or credited to the right quotes or
blah blah blah. And so he did that even back
when his mind worked. I made saying you saw a
major bridge collapse when you didn't is really a heck
of a stretch, because you wouldn't think you could fabricate
(02:17):
in your mind, because that would be an extraordinary thing
to see. Well, if your cousin ED told you that,
how the hell would you know where your cousin ED
was at the time? You'd have to say, wow, they
had to be amazing ed the guys, the damned president
people know where he was and whether he was there
or not.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
And then this one's getting a bit of attention to.
Michael didn't warn you a fifty six.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Democracy's a stake, folks, are democracies under attack, and we
got a fight for it. I taught at the University
of Pennsylvania for four years, and I uhould teach political theory,
and folks, you always here, every generation has to fight
for democracy. And I found myself it's automatic.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
We not to believe it, except you see, he didn't
teach political teach any classes.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
At the University of Pennsylvania for four years. What the hell, man?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
It was the bottom of the fifth inning.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I was catching for the Yankees nineteen seventy eight World Series.
Cy Young himself is pitching and walk after the mound.
I said to him, CI when I was on the
moon as part of Apollo twenty three, I learned something
very important, and I'm going to tell it to you
right now. And I says, tend to Demaggio, Joey, baby,
(03:37):
and Demaggio says, look, look up there instead the stands
it's Marilyn Monroe.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
I'm going to marry her one day.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And I said, I'm going to marry her first Joey
and we had a good laugh about that. But prescription
drug trisis are too high. So even CNN now is
reporting on whatever's wrong with his brain. Look, I was
sitting next to Kennedy when he was shot, no joke.
I was riding along in the limousine, sitting on the
(04:03):
Jackie's lap.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I taught at the University of Pennsylvania for four years.
I taught political theory. Well, I saw, perhaps.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
It's over, isn't it, At the point that CNN is
listing his many fabrications.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
What's over?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
What's the mechanism, he announces either sooner or more likely
later next year after if they can. And this is
very touch and going, very suspenseful for the Democratic grand poobas.
I'm sure they are desperate to get past the primary
season with a presumptive nominee the incumbent obviously, and then
(04:51):
when it's too late to have a bloody primary, that's
when they say. When Biden says, look, you know, my
mind is starting to work as well as it used to.
For the good of the country, I'm not going to
run again, and then they have a carefully managed broker convention.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Now, if you all are.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Just good patriots who are concerned by having a president
whose mind doesn't work, which is reasonable, okay, But if
you're at all machiavellian about this, why is everybody so
excited about Joe Biden getting pushed out Somehow, he's.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
The easiest guy to beat.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
They're gonna run somebody harder to beat. What you want
is a Republican to win in twenty twenty four. I
don't see why you're.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
So gleeful that Hunter got indicted. Maybe it'll lead to
the tax stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Maybe they'll finally get Joe Biden so he doesn't run,
and somebody much more likely to win runs, don't.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I don't know. I don't get that.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, I think if you're thinking strategically, that's right. I
just think people want the dishonest and senile president not
to be president anymore. That's defensible.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I think people get excited on this on both sides
without thinking it through. If I'm a Democrat, I'm thinking,
why are we trying to get Trump.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Before he runs?
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I think we can beat Trump if I'm a Democrat.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I am at least partially persuaded that the Democrats think
they will elevate Trump by prosecuting him for the primaries,
but he can't win in the general because the you
know that the independent voters are so turned off. So
I think that's what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Joe Biden by a year and however, many months from
now will be a babbling, drooling I mean, you know,
it's horrible because some of us will get there, and
some of us obscene old people get there. But he
could be like sitting in a chair mumbling to himself.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Kruger, Kruger. He going around way.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
As I said that George Washington at the Battle of
the Bulge, George, no sidewinding, Cracker Kroger's gonna rave for me,
Christmas Collars.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
So if that's him in a debate with Trump, you know,
October of twenty four, and the moderator has to say,
I'm sorry, what well, if he's.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
This bad now six months from now, it's only mid March.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
And Trump says, I don't know how to respond to that.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
What did he say, You gotta help me out with that,
and no Cracker Kruger Christmas Conner
