Speaker 1 (00:00):
I don't tell you what I don't know about you,
but I'm going to go to bed.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
That's actually a big statement.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
Look, there's a lot coming out in the last since
the debate really of Joe Biden and whether he's up
to being able to be the president at his age,
but more on how he's performing, to be honest, like,
if he was performing really well, I don't think as
many people would be questioning it, even though they'd still say,
isn't he a bit old? But he's not performing. I mean,
(00:28):
the debate was horrific. To be honest, I thought they
were both ordinary in the debate. I mean at the
fact that they have a have a I won't say that,
but anyway, they're sort of at each other and they're
arguing about golf, you know what I mean. It's just like,
is that these are the two guys that are going
to be running Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
This who plays golf better at their age?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
It's not appropriate for who's to be charged the best
of the best guys. So last time I'm watching the
news gaily and they had John Howard on talking about
whether he thinks Biden's fit, and it made me look
up because I hadn't seen him for a while. I mean,
for those that don't know who he was, he was
(01:10):
one of our greatest ever prime ministers.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
A lot of eyebrow, a lot of eyebrow, and was
a good leader.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
And eventually, you know, they voted him out, etcetera, etcetera.
And he didn't want to go either. But he was
in his sixties and I'm looking at it going is
he about the same age as Biden and he hasn't
been our leader for twenty years.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Two thousand and seven he was out and I.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Thought he was old then when you put into perspective
how old Biden is. But this is what he had
to say.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
There's growing worry about his capacity, and I think it
will work its way towards the situation where it we're
very hard for him to carry on. I think, very hard, indeed,
and I think it does highlight the imperfections of a
presidential system of government. I know Joe Bright, not well.
I like him. He's a decent man talking about the
(02:00):
most powerful position in the world. And it's very difficult
when the likely choice will be between people whose cognitive
capacity is under increasing inspection, let me put it that way,
and somebody who in the case of Trump to use
a cricket expression would not leave the field, and the
umpire's finger went up.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Yeah, he's eighty four.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
He sounds like he's still he's three years older than
Biden and sounds better.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, and don't we miss the how now brown care.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Suitables lead America?
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Oh? Yeah, well they can we transfer them. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Pretty over there as long as we don't get Biden exactly.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Ask the question, though, is there any American friends listening
right now.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
That have an absent tee vote? Can we all convince
you on who to vote for? What do you see
someone else?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Do you think that he should be going for this
or should he be bowing out? And you said before
you don't want to be ages. I'm going to be
straight up eight. Just you know Nonna, my nonna, she's
the same age, and I asked her over dinner the
other night, would you like to be running a country?
And she said, God, no, I want to get up
when I want to get up.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I want to go to bed when I want to
go to bed. At this age, it's.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Time to do a bit of fishing or whatever, cooking
for mama and all that sort of stuff. Look when
I say, don't want to be ages, he's already in it.
If he was handling it, well, I wouldn't have nearly
as much as of a problem.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
But he's not. He's not handling it. I mean he even.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Said that he was a black woman the other day
and didn't realize that he'd made a mistake.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
That's a hard cell double five seven one. He doesn't
look like a black woman.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
Like if you put Oprah and Joe Biden next to
each other twins, you don't go Only their mother can
tell them about.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Double five seven one one know?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
And what do you think have We've got the Americans
listening hundred bucks any charaz Persian restaurant shoul Joe Biden
just be retiring and telling his grandkids to get off
the grass things like that.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, I love that, get off my lawn.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Yes, genuinely interested in what people think about this, because
I feel like we talk a lot about it off air,
you know, but we're in the news.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
So what's happening at home?
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Are you talking about this and thinking? I'm a little
bit scared. It's one of the biggest countries in the
world and it's going to be run by someone who
doesn't know if he's black or white.
