Obviously the guys were talking about the nasty spill Joe Biden took at the Air Force Commencement, but what was really bizarre, was what Biden said in the process of forgetting the name of the Air Force Thunderbirds.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The President was on stage at the graduation, walking back
to his seat after shaking hands with about nine hundred
members of the Air Force Academy Class of twenty twenty three.
That's when he stumbled and went down, landing on his
right hip or an Air Force officer. A couple of
members of his Secret Service detail rushing to help him
back up to his feet, and then he pointed at
(00:21):
something that had caused him to trip. A short time later,
his communications director said, he's fine, there was a sandbag
on stage while he was shaking hands.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
I'm looking at ABC News National News, and two minutes
in they got the video of Trump fallen. So they
thought it was a big enough deal to put up
to warn the beginning Biden Biden falling. Ye, and I
assume you saw the video if you're into this at all.
But I mean, he went all the way down, all
the way down, and had trouble getting up. He started
(00:54):
to try to get up and fell again. So yeah,
and I've been saying for a long time, are you
gonna let this guy walk around without somebody like to
hold onto his arm. We gotta get past this idea
that that somehow would be unmanly or politically damaging or whatever.
I don't care if you need to hold onto somebody's
(01:16):
arm to walk. That doesn't bother me. Really. I worry
about your brain a lot.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
But he's obviously made the calculation that to be that
physically infirm just looks weak and is not a good look.
And he made it up the stairs to the airplane.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Later he's gonna roll all the way down to the
bottom at some point, don't you think he has that
same fall on that steep stairs and he rolls for
ten seconds. If you're obsessed with this, it's going to happen.
It's going to happen. It's inevitable. I was a Rich
Lowry of National Review has been writing about this. He
(01:52):
hasn't gotten specific, but he in National Review today he's
writing that anybody who's had a family member in this situation,
so he obviously he has, because he talks about it
a lot, saying that once the falls start, they increase
in frequency and happen more often, and how it's just
cruel at this point to have a guy who's baving
(02:14):
balanced troubles at his age, walking up steep staircases and
in all kinds of things. Is it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Well, and it's kind of charming that he stood and
shook hands with nine hundred some graduates of the.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Air Force Academy. We're pointing out stood for two hours
as an eighty year old guy, and he's the commander
in chief.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
So I get it, and I salute him for doing that,
but I'm not sure it's a great idea given his age,
which you know, again, he can't run again, there's no.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Way because of the fact that he falls down. He's
just so damn old. So Trump learned about it in
real time. He's sitting there at a town hall or
something like that. He's taking questions, talking wherever he is
I with someplace, and he finds out about it on
the fly. Here here's how it went.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
He actually fell down.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Well, I hope he wasn't hurt. I hope he wasn't hurt.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
That's a bad place to fall when you're making I
think it was the Air Force Academy, right, he's making.
Speaker 6 (03:09):
That's not inspiring.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You gotta be careful.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
About that because you don't you don't want that, even
if you have to tiptoe down a ramp.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, So what is he talking about there? Play clip thirty.
This is Trump talking about when he got all the
grief for walking slowly down the ramp, which shouldn't have
been a national story but was.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I said, this speech was so good, and then I said,
how do I get down?
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Sure?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
You have to go down the ramp, I said, the
same one I came up. It was a long like
an ice skating rink, and they said, yes, sir. And
I had the general next to me, the commandant of
Kadet's a nice guy, big guy, and he's wearing combat boots.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
They don't slip too much.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
I said, General, get ready because I may have to
grab you here. But I said, I'm not falling. There's
no way, so I'd go tippy toe down the thing.
That was a mistake because it didn't look so good.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I even agree it was. But I got killed. But
you can't fall.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
You just can't fall.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
No matter what, allow it to happen. Then I better
not allow especially after saying this, I'd better not allow
it to happen with me.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
But things like that do happen. I thought it was
interesting he took the high road by Trump's standards on
the whole thing. And I think it's because he realized, Hey,
I'm only three years younger, so yeah, could happen to
me too.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
If you the ability of a super rich guy since
the day he was born to be a regular guy.
Maybe Trump's greatest gift, right, he comes off more like
a regular guy than guys who grew up working.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
In renal fields, right, dabbly wage people. Yeah, for some
reason he is good at that. But if you don't
remember the way the media handled it, here's a little
montage for you.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
President Trump is facing some new questions about his health
after an unsteady walk down a ramp. New questions about
President Trump's health after his visit to West Point. The
event sparked some concerns about the president's own health.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
It took him ten minutes to walk down a ramp.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
In the shuffle, alarmed a lot of people around the country.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
He says, what's wrong with the president of the United States?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
That was not the tone last night, with Biden falling
for the fourth time, clear down to the ground and
unable to get up on his own.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Wow, are they aware of how hilariously biased they are?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
They've got to be. I mean, you'd be a moron
not to be if if Biden's brain was sharp. I
wouldn't have any problem with him not being able to walk,
would you. Uh?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
No, No, I get why politically it's not a good
look and why previous presidents have hidden it, But personally no.
I mean, I can think of a handful of people
who're not physically much, but they're brilliant, and I'd love
to have them be president.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
At My mom's balance is bad. She walks with a
number of contraptions so she can get around because she's
fallen several times. Her brain is fine. I wouldn't want
her walking up this to the stairs to the Air
Force one by herself.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
She's exactly the same age as Biden, like a week different.
But I was just following the reaction on Twitter. Twitter's
probably the worst place on Earth to try to gauge
normal people's reactions.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
But you know, you could have put the period after
the word earth. Twitter is the worst place on Earth.
But you were You had another point, But a lot
of this fall is embarrassing. China's watching again the physical fall.
If his brain works, okay, it's not.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
You don't. You don't need to be able to stay
upright to tell your generals what to do if China attacks,
I'm worried about his judgment or remembering what year it is,
flat cap care if the kaka hits the fan. That
was his worst fall.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
By far, though, Yeah, and certainly the most public. I mean,
I'll catch a flip flop going up the stairs now
and again.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
It happens, but generally a person goes down on like
one knee and then you pop right back up again.
It's not all the way down to the ground. Then
you try to get up and fall again. Somebody has
to help you get up.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
That's not inspiring some significant orthopedic problems.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I will tell you this.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
When your joints are super stiff and not functioning right,
you can't catch yourself like you could when you were healthy.
So you know it's it is a sign of age
and infirmity. And I appreciate your enlightened reaction. And maybe
your point is we need to focus on the brain stuff,
which I agree with completely. But being that old and
infirm and falling and walking stiffly, it looks bad. Oh
(07:32):
let's say here clip for forty eight. This is Biden
from his speech.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
By the way, I've met with who are those guys
that fly over shortly.
Speaker 6 (07:39):
I heard them, haven't three of them are women, so
don't screw around guys.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
What was that? He was trying to remember the name
of the thunderbirds. The guys that fly over shortly, three
of them are women, so be careful, guy, play that again.
That's oh, that's terrible.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
By the way, I met with those guys that fly
over shortly.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
I heard them three of more women, So don't screw
around guys.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What yeah, never mind the fall? Never mind, we need
to talk about that plan. Yeah, yeah, women. Yeah, well,
what was that? Don't what do you say about the guys?
Speaker 5 (08:33):
Don'ts By the way, with those guys that fly over shortly, I.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Heard them three of more women, So don't screw around guys.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Thing to say, all of it's on, Yeah, never mind
the tumble. His brain is shut off.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Okay, you know I'm not I'm not trying to make
an overly big lout of this. Don't need to believe it.
Do you think he fell over a sandbag or did
he just fall fall?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I believe there's something up there because almost all falls
are caused by something that you trip over, or it
can be a balance.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Whether we've all had the occasional kind of stumble. You
look back at the sidewalk. What what what do they
just fall over? What happened there?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
You know? The Supreme Court justices for them are women.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Watch it, guys, what's around guys? Yeah? Oh man,
