(00:09):
Hey everyone, I'm here to introduce another conversation
with Gwen. In this episode, we discussed
Biden's cancer diagnosis, the Democratic primary, and the
20/16/2020 and 2024 elections. Here it is.
Did you have an opinion on Bidens cancer diagnosis?

(00:31):
Yeah, it seemed real. It seemed real fishy to me.
And I will say my dad had prostate cancer and so did
actually I think all of his brothers and my grandpa, my mom
side. And like.
They all, well, they're all, they're all fine, I should say
that. Yeah, fine.
And they caught it really early.Like as far as I know, every
single one of them, it was like,I guess I could speak mostly for

(00:51):
my dad because I was like the closest that I was to it.
Like he, they caught it super early.
He didn't have chemo or anything.
He just had surgery and that wasit and they like got it all out.
So in my personal experience, itseemed very surprising that they
didn't catch it for so long. Like it took them until it was
already 'cause it was it stage. What stage was that?
I can't remember. It's advanced but I cannot

(01:14):
remember and there was like two different.
Types of. Stages that they were reading as
well. I don't but.
But yeah, it's been a while since I.
Yeah, it definitely seemed, it seemed very fishy to me, like
the timing of it being announcedand like how far along it was
when they say that they caught it.

(01:34):
Oh, it had spread his bones. That's what it said.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
I mean. I feel so bad about that.
That's so. That's the thing, like I, I
we've both talked about this andand other friends talked about
this. I don't like him as a politician
but that doesn't mean heartless and don't care for him as a man.
Yeah, that's what's. Don't think he should have been
I don't think he wanted to be president in the 1st place.

(01:56):
So, you know, last time we talked, we were talking about
how we felt bad that he's spending the last few years of
his life like this. Yes, now he got.
Yes, that's right. And it's like, are you kidding
me? Yeah, yeah, No, I just feel that
I mean, I think of him like I agree, like I don't, I would, I
don't think he'll go down as like the best president of the
country like in the history of ever or even in like the top 20.

(02:20):
But I I have always thought of him as almost like a grandfather
figure. He just seems that way.
Like he's one of those he's likea, you know, a little losing it
a little bit like sits in the corner is very maybe is very
nice and kind, but like, you know, probably should not have
been president. And I do think there, it seems
like a lot has come out to wherethere was a lot of cover up to
how bad it was, which is concerning.

(02:42):
That is, I can understand why a lot of people would lose a lot
of faith in the democratic establishment, Yes, because
that's and how they would be OK with that is upsetting and
shocking. But I do feel bad as a person.
I agree. That is, it's sad.
It would be sad for anybody if Trump got cancer late in life
and it was like to spread his bones, like, that's just sad.

(03:05):
It's unfortunate, especially after everything.
What a life, I guess. And his son too, dying from
cancer, like that's just a lot. That's a lot.
Yeah, I I personally wonder whatkind of wife would do that to
their husband. I'm actually like hating Jill a
lot. Or.
For letting him run, yes, like yeah it I mean.

(03:27):
I don't know. I don't know, I don't know
behind closed doors, but she. Doesn't even.
Feel bad that that's what she did to him and.
Yeah, well, I'm also just like how maybe it speaks to like how
much he really thought he wantedit.
Like, I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. It is it.
It definitely seems strange and you feel bad but like.
Yeah. I don't know.

(03:48):
I don't know. But I, yeah, I feel bad for him,
but I think, I think, I think heprobably was aware of this way
way before which I had to. Guess Yeah, well, cuz there was
he, he said back in 2022 that hehad cancer and then they're
like, oh, he misspoke and. So it's like.
Well. I did not hear about that.

(04:10):
It was at a press conference or in 2022 Biden announced he had
cancer. But the white.
House immediately retracted the statement, claiming he misspoke.
Who? And how?
Like in what way? Who was?
What is he supposed to have beentalking about?
I. Oh God, I don't even know what
he was supposed to be talking about it.
I think it was one of those likekind of mumbled things in front

(04:31):
of the microphone, you know? It says he made remarks that led
to question. He stated that due to pollution
in his childhood home downtown in Delaware, he and so many
other people he grew up with have cancer.
Yeah, you're right. They quickly clarified Biden was
referring to non Melanoma skin cancers that he had removed
before his presidency. OK.
Interesting. But so, OK, so he did have he

(04:52):
had cancer, but yeah, no, I, I definitely like just given my
personal experience with prostate cancer, it just it
seemed it seemed fishy and it did seem like they waited to
announce it until, you know, like they definitely working out
while he was running. Even then, once he wasn't
running, I feel like they didn'twant that to become a story, you
know, And so they held on to it until way after and now.

(05:12):
Oh, by the way. Yes.
Also, I mean, this is this is a little bit of a spin off, but I
feel that the Democrat Party does not let their voters choose
who their candidate is. Do you feel like that at all?
Like you're talking about KamalaHarris, that whole situation.
I'm talking about all of it. Like Bernie was more popular
than Hillary. They took it from Bernie.

(05:34):
They made Hillary the candidate for the 2016 election, but
didn't she? Win the primary.
So Bernie, but Bernie was more popular, so the like.
Well, how are they considering? How are they checking popularity
other than votes? So the DNC can override that.
Yeah, she got 20. She got 2842 delegates.
He only got 1800. Really.

(05:55):
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I think she won that like fair and square, however.
And then the Colin here is saying like I thought, my
understanding is that came down to like because Joe was already
like the on the ticket as the. Candidate they.
Could not replace him with anybody other than her because
her like, like the ballots in somany states, like, you know, you

(06:16):
have to submit all of that like way in advance or whatever in so
many states, like the deadline had passed for them to change it
to somebody that wasn't already like it was some sort of shit
like that. I mean, I don't agree.
I don't, I don't love it. It makes me not, you know it.
Like, yeah. I think it's shitty but I I feel
like it was AII go back to blaming like they should have

(06:36):
never let him run in the first place.
There should have been a primarylike they should have just done
the normal. Like he, I and I thought when he
ran the first time he committed to not running.
Again, right and. That's why I felt like I thought
a lot of people voted for him under that impression the first
time around. Not this, not this most recent,
but so, yeah, I mean, no, I don't, I don't, I don't know

(06:59):
that I would agree with the statement that they don't let
their voters choose. But I do understand how you
could get to that conclusion. I feel like there's some very
there is some like kind of shady, shady dealings, but like
this yeah, what I've heard of like the reasons behind it, like
it is all seems to check out to me.
At least, Yeah. So what I'm seeing as far as
Sanders and Clinton in 2016, yes, you're correct.

(07:23):
She had the popular vote. She had more delegates.
She had everything she needed. As far as people believing it
was stolen from Bernie, it was. Emails were leaked by people.
Oh. OK, I do vaguely recall this.
Yeah, I do feel like they were, they were like they did not want
him to win. I feel like, yeah, seeing that.

(07:43):
Yeah, yes, like that. And that is fair.
I feel like it's, it's such a challenge on the Democratic side
of like there is a lot of popularity with those candidates
like Bernie that are very, you know, socialist, like, for lack
of a better term, like they're, they're very far left.
Like there's actually so much support for that.
However, I think the Democratic Party at large, at like the

(08:03):
leadership level, doesn't believe that that type of
candidate can win ultimately. Yes, in, in there's a similar
thing going on in the RepublicanParty is the yeah, we're like
abortion extremes. You know, they, they go so far,
right? And they were at the beginning
of all of this when I was doing the caucusing and the

(08:25):
conventions. They're they were really trying
to get. Like, really crack.
Down on abortions more and. More.
Pro-life legislation, and it wasthe only people fighting against
it were people, you know, like under the age of 50.
Men and women. Fighting against against it and
and like at our what was it county convention, I spoke and I

(08:50):
was like. Regardless.
Of what you believe if you want a Republican to win, you cannot
have this, this type of legislation like it's just not.
And I think that you know that same concept can be applied to.
Yeah, like there's. The Democrat, you know, it's
like if there's. Certain things that I feel like
whoever, whoever pulls the strings ultimately sees those as

(09:11):
like losing, you know, whatever,losing positions, losing
candidates. So yeah, I definitely, you're
right. I do remember, like it's been so
long since 2016. My God.
But I do remember that coming out after that, there was like
whoever was in charge of the DNCat the time, yeah.
They were like openly discussinglike how they were hoping that
he wasn't going to win and not supporting him, etcetera.

(09:32):
Yeah. And then I don't know how this
happened, but I just remember like Biden was in 5th place and
then suddenly. Yes, like that was.
Of him just jumped and it's like.
It was because he won. What did he win?
Like there was some state he wonthat was like, oh, OK.
And then it was like AI forget he like got somebody on his

(09:54):
side. I forget who was.
But yeah, I will agree. I didn't vote for him in the
primary. Yeah.
I think if some a different Democrat had run, regardless of
whether Biden won the primary, you know, if they went third
party and like. Tulsi.
He left. The party anyways I I wonder how
that would have turned out. I agree.
Yeah, he was, he was not my choice.

(10:14):
I don't even remember who I'm there were so many candidates.
I do remember that. It was like remember they had
like I remember they had to do like 2 debates, yes, with like
10 people each or whatever. I remember that it it, it like
that's so tricky. I mean, I guess that's the
politics part of it. That's part of it that I'm like,
no, thank you. I'm like, they don't feel good
about it. That's why.

(10:34):
But that's politics. Like it's yucky.
Yeah. Sorry to interrupt, I just
wanted to tell you about one of my sponsors real quick.
Sometimes I get on a roll cleaning or gardening and I need
a boost but don't have time for a meal.
Big Fork Brands Pork Jerky is the perfect choice to keep my
momentum, offering high protein snacks for on the go energy.

(10:55):
Boosts. Not only do they offer pork
jerky, but they also make pork sticks, bacon, sausage, bacon,
hot dogs, and burger and hot dog.
Sauces Products. Come in a variety of delicious
flavors including Thai green Curry and Maple and brown sugar
for the meat options and Gangster and Chicago Fire for

flavor of the pork jerky hits just right after tackling a big

flavorful. My discount code.

See. And then also you, you have to

(11:37):
have money and you have to have donors.
Yeah. Anybody to hear your voice?
Yeah. I mean, that's that doesn't
ensure that the best candidate wins.
Either 1000% Yeah, it is like, well, didn't that what oh God,
what is the what is that law that passed not that long ago
that allows corporations to be treated as individuals?

(11:58):
Like that's what happened. Like yeah, we need to take the
money out of it. The money is it's like that's
that is definitely a problem. Yeah.
What is that called? There was something that passed
me like before. I feel like it was in the early
2000s maybe where like it used to be that corporations could
only donate up to a certain amount.
I forgot and then they passed and now they are treated like

(12:19):
individuals and individuals can donate.
Was it unlimited or something? I don't know.
Well. But I don't know, I thought it
was 10,000 because I thought I hopefully I'm saying his name
right. Dinesh D'souza.
I don't know what that. Is he he got in trouble for you
can only donate so much and thenhe gave his money to other

(12:40):
people to donate under. Yes.
Oh yeah, Like PACs and stuff, Yeah.
That's yeah, that's. What it is?
And it was like 10,000. Dollars individual cap,
unlimited transfers to a PAC. OK, Committee.
OK. So that's kind of how they're
funneling money then? Yes, right, unlimited party
national committee, yes, that's true.
So individuals, you're right, there is a limit with direct to

(13:02):
a candidate committee. See, I don't know.
I don't know what that means. I don't know.
There's a there's a good websiteabout it.
Yeah. What's FEC federal election
campaign act. That's what it was.
I don't know, I forget like the like the short of it that I
understand is like basically it allows maybe through packs.
Yeah, companies, corporations can can give as much money as

(13:23):
they want. OK, and that is you're right.
Why no name? People will never win.
Right, right. Yeah.
Yeah, I don't like that. But yeah, I feel like that's, I
think that's maybe a part of theconcern about Bernie too, is
that he doesn't take, isn't he want, he doesn't take money from
what I forget. I think he only takes money from
individuals. I can't remember.

(13:44):
I feel like he's very, you know.Took a lot of money from
pharmaceutical companies. OK, well, but that only applies.
A little different, you know, like, but yeah, I think some
things he doesn't. Yeah, so he, they also probably
were worried about him not having enough money.
And yeah, Oh my gosh. I'm looking at the candidates
from 2016, the Democratic primary, and they're, I don't

(14:08):
even remember half these people.My God.
Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala
Harris. That there were so many Some.
Of them I can't there's. Nothing you.
Can remember was like this is crazy.
Obviously, Biden. Inkin Chaffee Never heard of
him. No.
He was the president, or sorry, he was the governor of Rhode
Island. Interesting anyhow.

(14:28):
That's all I have for today. I started asking my followers
what they thought about these topics and Michael Knight
Industries, Tracy on The Daily, and Rose Schweri all had
basically the same opinions as Gwen and me.
And that Biden should have knownabout his cancer well before the
time it was announced. Rose Schweri pointed out that he
may not have known it was cancer, but he should have known

(14:49):
that something was wrong due to other likely side effects.
