00:00:00
President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has spread to his bones.
00:00:04
Messages of support have come in from across the political spectrum, including President Trump, though Don Jr. and
00:00:10
other MAGA adjacent folks are already spreading theories about cover-ups and conspiracies. Uh, all this is a new book
00:00:16
and audio recordings are raising questions about his mental fitness over the last few years. The cold heart
00:00:20
analysis is the following. He's already 7 years past the life expectancy of the average American man. He's an old man.
00:00:26
He's had a wonderful life of service. It's a tragedy for him and his family. Not nearly the tragedy that he has
00:00:32
endured, losing children, but you know, he's he's had an incredible life. Best wishes to him, but it does bring up some
00:00:38
really big issues. First off, the cover up. Yeah, it was a cover up. And guess what? Anyone with aging parents, we all
00:00:46
are co-conspirators in this cover up because your parents, their brain shrinks and they don't realize, no, they
00:00:53
think it's insane that you take their driver's license from them. I beat Trump. I'm pushing back on Russia. I
00:01:00
passed the Infrastructure Act. Of course, I can be president for another four years. I mean, that was a less
00:01:05
crazy statement than a lot of the my dad said at 70. There wasn't anything sinister here. There's what happens a
00:01:11
lot. And for me, this all goes to the same place. We need age limits, folks. Biology is undefeated. It's absolutely
00:01:17
undefeated. But I do feel badly. This guy's devoted himself to service. I think on the whole, he will be judged
00:01:23
well by history. I think he's done a lot of important things. I think the last couple years of his life did have not
00:01:28
gone well for him. Um, and this is a bad this is bad news.
