Jake Tapper's new book, "Original Sin," is rocking the country. The CNN journalist bravely shares the shocking details of President Joe Biden's decline ... months after he withdrew from the 2024 election. It's the cover-up of the century, and Tapper had a supporting role (even if he denies it). This bonus episode asks the biggest question surrounding the book - could it make the jup to the big screen? Will Hollywood put aside its progressive groupthink to tell a story that demands to be told?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
One of the most offensive movie projects ever pitched has
been Memory Hold. For the most part. The year was
twenty sixteen and one of the biggest comedy stars on
the planet was circling a film that was described as
an Alzheimer's comedy. That's not funny, sounds like a laugh
riot already. Right, Well, let's put the brakes on a little,
(00:20):
let's tap them a bit. You know, comedy shouldn't have guardrails.
There should be a lot of leeway and creative freedom
when it comes to a particular comedy. I mean, just
think about Springtime for Hitler is a great example. Would
you ever believe in a million years you'd never love
a show called spring Time for Handla. But this particular
comedy project had a different motive, a different perspective that
(00:43):
made it more offensive and more inappropriate. You could say
this one was a comedy about a dementia adult president
Ronald Reagan in the White House suffering from dementia, and
of course hilarity ensued. The comedian in question, none other
than Elf Will Ferrell, was attached to star in this
(01:04):
particular film playing Ronald Reagan. Now totally outrageous, right, But
at the time the media didn't defend the project. The
media almost seemed as outrage as the rest of us
at times, and of course, Ronald Reagan's grown children were
horrified by the concept, got a lot of bad publicity
at record speed, and guess what happened. The project collapsed.
(01:27):
Will Ferrell said, I was never attached to this. This
was not my project. I yet didn't happen, didn't make
the movie. It's kind of amazing when you look back
at twenty sixteen, which is not so long ago, to
see some humility, to see some decency prevail. I missed that.
(01:50):
I missed that time. I wish you could go back
to that time because I think if they had made
that project today, it went straight into production, and Will
Ferrell would have been like, I can't wait for you
to see it. Bring up because there's another possible movie
project that also involves a dementia addle president. Now this
one is not a comedy, but this one is based
on reality. It's the Joe Biden story. Befuddled Biden. The
(02:13):
movie coming to a theater near you. Maybe whites camera
action a school. Now. The New York Post is reporting,
citing a newsletter from CNN Fake News Central that the
people behind a new book are pushing this movie. Let's
pull back a minute. The book in question is called
(02:34):
Original Sand. It is co authored by Jake Tapper, and
it looks at how President Joe Biden's decline. We all
know it's true, we all know it happened, we all
saw it before our very eyes, how it was covered
up by the Democrats and by Biden himself. And this
book is the is the framework for a possible movie.
That's what we're all talking about now. The fact that
(02:57):
Jake Tapper co wrote this book is a comedy onto itself. Oh,
that's hilarious. Jake Tapper was responsible for helping cover up
Joe Biden's dementia. We've got him on video mocking Laura
Trump for saying that Joe Biden has lost a step
or two.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
How do you think it makes little kids with stutters
feel when they see you make a comment like that too?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
He brought up the imaginary stutter and said, how dare you?
How dare you? Are you a doctor? No you're not.
You can't you can't diagnose Joe Biden. That was Jake Tapper.
Jake Tapper was also the one attacking some of the
very few journalists who were brave enough and bold enough
to say, hey, wait a minute, there's something seriously wrong
with our commander in chief. Those are the Wall Street
(03:41):
journal reporters who broke a story before everyone discussed Biden's declient.
Jake Tapper was part of the mob that shushed them
into silence. So the fact that Jake Tapper is a
part of this book, a part of this possible movie,
is downright hysterical. It's just not ha ha funny to
oppose the figures out Well, let's put that aside. The
(04:05):
Jake Tapper component this movie, were it to be made,
would be horribly embarrassing to the Biden family. The Biden
family has been part of the Beltway politics for decades.
There are still power players within that ecosystem. For sure,
they would make them look terrible. It also would make
the Democratic Party look terrible because there were many, many
(04:27):
politicians who were telling us straight to our faces that
Joe Biden was sharp as attack again and again and again.
And it wasn't just Correine Jean Pierre, the White House spokesperson.
It was significant figures in the Democratic Party saying nothing
to see here, move along.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
America, And I was in almost every meeting with the
president in the hours and days that followed, and the
President was in front of and on top of it
all asking questions and requiring that America's military and intelligence
(05:05):
community and diplomatic community would figure out and know how
many people were dead, how many are Americans? How many hostages?
Is the situation stable?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
They were lying, They were lying to our faces, and
it was a massive lie. Not a I'm manipulating some
data to make my party look good, not a I'm
going to ignore this or ignore that, or ignore a question.
These were significant lies that were extremely important to not
just the country, but the world. See a movie of
this consequence would make them, would make them look terrible.
(05:40):
But it also and if you want to tell the
full story, and you really need to tell the full story,
would make the legacy media look atrocious. There's a lot
of fake news out there these days. Now. I've used
to call them the mainstream media. I think that was
giving them too much credit. And I also like the
legacy media moniker, because Legacy feels like it's an aging,
a dinosaur like institution that's faded for obscurity and retirement.
(06:05):
If not extinction. I think all those things applied to
the mainstream media at this point, the legacy media, they
deserve to be extinct, and they've done us wrong time
and time again. So how could a movie like this
be made that is making fun of the bidens, that
is making fun of the legacy media, and that is
damaging completely to the democratic brand. Well, I think your
(06:27):
answer is it can't be made conceivable. Now, sometimes news
outlets make a whole story based on a little kernel
of information. And I'm not saying the kernel of information
here is necessarily wrong. But just because someone is pitching
a movie or spreading it around La La Land, doesn't
mean it's going to get made. This one, in its
(06:48):
current form, I don't think there's a ghost of a
chance of it being made. And that's a shame. That
doesn't mean it shouldn't be made. It should. This is
the biggest media scandal of the century for sure. I
can't think of many, and that comes close. This is
a story that needs to be told. The commander in
chief was not all there, and yet everyone told us
he was just fine. Now, there's a political impetus in
(07:09):
play here that is separate but needs to be mentioned.
The media right now is really covering this story extensively.
They're leaking a lot of the excerpts from the Taper
book and some other books coming soon. They're aggressively covering
it in the way they should have for several years
but didn't. So why is that. Well, the conventional thinking
(07:30):
is that they're trying to get ahead of the story.
Cover it now, take the l expose it for all
it's meant to be, and then move on dot org
because when you're talking about the twenty twenty six min
terms and of course the twenty twenty eight presidential campaign,
then all the people in charge of the Democratic Party
can say, listen, we covered it, it was wrong, that's
(07:52):
old news. We're looking forward. We have a vision for
America for twenty twenty eight and beyond, and that's what
we want to talk about. So if they just get
it out of the open now, dispose all the warts,
they could move on to a new message. You're dealing
with a devious, diabolical mind. So I understand why they
want to do that from a news perspective, but there's
a problem here. Any kind of movie is going to
(08:14):
take a long time to get into movie screet theaters nationwide.
Any movie based on original Sin or any of the
stories around the Befuddled Biden, well, that's not going to
come out in theaters this weekend or next month or
even the end of the year. Movies take a lot
of time, from planning and casting and getting the budget together,
pre production, the actual production, post production, marketing. It takes
(08:39):
months and months and months and months. So any kind
of movie that was based on Original Sin wouldn't come
in theaters until at least their earliest next year. And
then you're in the midst of a midterms, and that's
a whole new dynamic. So the fact that that's in
play means you're not going to see this movie anytime soon. Now.
The one thing I think you could see and should see,
(09:02):
is a full bodied, no hold barred documentary on this
subject matter that could be put into play much much
more quickly with a smaller budget, no casting issues that
would be profound. Get that into theaters and see what
the reaction is from everyone, left, right and center. Now,
of course, any studio would avoid that like the Plague.
(09:24):
No Netflix, no Prime Video, no Hulu, none of the
major streaming platforms would get that emotion as well, just
too toxic. So it's going to fall in the hands
of maybe like a Daily Wire or The Blaze or
some other upstart film outlet to say, hey, we're going
to produce this, We're going to put in theaters and
see what happens. And if that were to be the case,
(09:45):
if the Daily Wire, say, jumps on that kind of
a project, I really hope that even though it's an
openly right of center publication and I am a contributed
to it, that they treat it in a very apolitical,
non partisan way. Now I get the impetus to say,
get Andrew Clavin and Matt Walsh and all the great
(10:06):
talking heads at The Wire to go into this and
expose what happened and to really call out all the
guilty players. I understand that. I get that that might
be a wonderful documentary, But I'd love to see a
more neutral, more balanced documentary, a just the facts presentation
that really exposes what happened. Because hey, news clips are great,
(10:28):
viral videos are amazing. Stories on the web. All play
a part. But to see a documentary that lays out
the whole narrative from start to finish would be exceptional,
and it would be really necessary thing for Americans to
see from all political points of view. This cannot happen again,
So we'll have to wait and see if that kind
of a film hits theatre's fingers crossed. Every American needs
(10:52):
to know this story from the beginning to the middle,
to the end, and Hollywood, in a way, is perfectly
suited to tell that story. Except for all the reasons
I mentioned, it won't. Another reason why they won't is
because some of their favorite people were part of the
cover up. Think about George Clooney, he met President Biden
(11:12):
up close. According to a new report, President Biden didn't
even recognize George Clooney a fairly recognizable gent, if I
may say so.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Don't you know who I am?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
And then waited weeks and weeks and weeks before he
wrote that infamous op ed saying I'm sorry, Joe, it's
time to go. What about Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel was
at a fundraiser for President Biden's campaign, saw him up
close and personal, I'm sure recognize that elevator didn't go
all the way to the top, and then watched him
freeze on stage until President Barack Obama walked door, grabbed
(11:45):
Old Joe's hand, and led him off the stage.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Age.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Jimmy Kimmel later said that didn't happen as you saw it.
He was perfectly fine. He was just enjoying the adulation
of the crowd. Jimmy Kimmel lied to you and me
about that situation, and he's never apologized. He's been a
part of the cover up too, and he's part of
the story, and so was Stephen Colbert. He also held
a fundraiser for President Biden before he bowed out of
(12:22):
the presidential race. Did he see it, declined Joe Biden.
Did he see the guy that who we were described
behind the scenes as sharp as attack and doing pushups
and being as vital as a man half his age? Nah,
I bet you he saw the same Joe Biden we
saw in all those viral video clips, a diminished older man,
a sad shell of his old self. And through it all,
I just want to quickly mention, which shouldn't be necessary,
(12:44):
but I would never ever ever pick on an older
gentleman who was sick, who has had dementia, who was
suffering from a cognitive decline. But the minute that he
end his party lied to us directly and say that
there's nothing wrong. It's all fair game. Sorry, that's just
the way it works. I don't want to do it.
So we'll have to wait and see for a Joe
(13:06):
Biden movie, and if it ever happens, I hope it does.
I hope it does hit theaters at some point. But
you know, it may be the best advice moving forward
to wait, to let the new cycle play out, to
let the political machinations play out. You know, some of
the best Vietnam War movies that we've seen over the
decades happened a decade after the war ended. Think about Platoon,
(13:31):
Full Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Why the yoker are you trying to offend me?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
The emotions, the raw emotions of the time cooled down,
and the artists of that era were able to kind
of tell their stories their way in a profound way,
in a powerful way. And maybe this is the kind
of cataclysmic story that we need to just wait on.
So I'm all for a documentary approach. I'm all for
that coming out as soon as possible. I think that matters.
(13:57):
But to tell the full story in the grand Hollywood tradition,
maybe it's time to wait. Maybe it's time to wait
a few years and then bring the story to the public.
Because either way, this is made for Hollywood, made for
the big screen, an important chapter in our history and
one of the saddest ones as well. It deserves a
big screen close up. Just don't hold your breath right.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Now, isn't it Tom Patti who said the waiting is
the hardest part?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, I hope you enjoyed this bonus episode of the
Hollywood and Total podcast. I hope to have more of
them out in the weeks to come, And of course
do check out hollywoodintoto dot com. It is my website,
it is now and it's eleventh year. It has all
the news, reviews and commentary from a right of central perspective.
We are transparent in our emotions and our feelings. For sure,
(14:43):
never want to chase our liberal friends away. But that
is the angle of the particular website, and no bones
about it is a necessary angle as well, because the
vast majority of people who cover Hollywood are left of center,
and they let it influence their reportage just the way
it goes. I let my right of center leanings reflect
my repartise as well, especially on this website. So do
(15:06):
you check out hollywoodintoto dot com and if you enjoy
the show, give us a like a subscribe, tell a
friend about it. We appreciate it. Now, go out there
and have the best week possible. Doctor's Orders

the story, and so was Stephen Colbert. He also held
a fundraiser for President Biden before he bowed out of
(12:22):
the presidential race. Did he see it, declined Joe Biden.
Did he see the guy that who we were described
behind the scenes as sharp as attack and doing pushups
and being as vital as a man half his age? Nah,
I bet you he saw the same Joe Biden we
saw in all those viral video clips, a diminished older man,
a sad shell of his old self. And through it all,
I just want to quickly mention, which shouldn't be necessary,
(12:44):
but I would never ever ever pick on an older
gentleman who was sick, who has had dementia, who was
suffering from a cognitive decline. But the minute that he
end his party lied to us directly and say that
there's nothing wrong. It's all fair game. Sorry, that's just
the way it works. I don't want to do it.
So we'll have to wait and see for a Joe
(13:06):
Biden movie, and if it ever happens, I hope it does.
I hope it does hit theaters at some point. But
you know, it may be the best advice moving forward
to wait, to let the new cycle play out, to
let the political machinations play out. You know, some of
the best Vietnam War movies that we've seen over the
decades happened a decade after the war ended. Think about Platoon,
(13:31):
Full Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Why the yoker are you trying to offend me?
Speaker 1 (13:35):
The emotions, the raw emotions of the time cooled down,
and the artists of that era were able to kind
of tell their stories their way in a profound way,
in a powerful way. And maybe this is the kind
of cataclysmic story that we need to just wait on.
So I'm all for a documentary approach. I'm all for
that coming out as soon as possible. I think that matters.
(13:57):
But to tell the full story in the grand Hollywood tradition,
maybe it's time to wait. Maybe it's time to wait
a few years and then bring the story to the public.
Because either way, this is made for Hollywood, made for
the big screen, an important chapter in our history and
one of the saddest ones as well. It deserves a
big screen close up. Just don't hold your breath right.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Now, isn't it Tom Patti who said the waiting is
the hardest part?
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Well, I hope you enjoyed this bonus episode of the
Hollywood and Total podcast. I hope to have more of
them out in the weeks to come, And of course
do check out hollywoodintoto dot com. It is my website,
it is now and it's eleventh year. It has all
the news, reviews and commentary from a right of central perspective.
We are transparent in our emotions and our feelings. For sure,
(14:43):
never want to chase our liberal friends away. But that
is the angle of the particular website, and no bones
about it is a necessary angle as well, because the
vast majority of people who cover Hollywood are left of center,
and they let it influence their reportage just the way
it goes. I let my right of center leanings reflect
my repartise as well, especially on this website. So do
(15:06):
you check out hollywoodintoto dot com and if you enjoy
the show, give us a like a subscribe, tell a
friend about it. We appreciate it. Now, go out there
and have the best week possible. Doctor's Orders
