00:00:00
President Joe Biden has been diagnosed
00:00:01
with an aggressive form of prostate
00:00:03
cancer that has spread to his bones.
00:00:04
Messages of support have come in from
00:00:06
across the political spectrum, including
00:00:08
President Trump, though Don Jr. and
00:00:10
other MAGA adjacent folks are already
00:00:12
spreading theories about cover-ups and
00:00:13
conspiracies. Uh, all this is a new book
00:00:16
and audio recordings are raising
00:00:17
questions about his mental fitness over
00:00:19
the last few years. The cold heart
00:00:20
analysis is the following. He's already
00:00:22
7 years past the life expectancy of the
00:00:24
average American man. He's an old man.
00:00:26
He's had a wonderful life of service.
00:00:28
It's a tragedy for him and his family.
00:00:30
Not nearly the tragedy that he has
00:00:32
endured, losing children, but you know,
00:00:34
he's he's had an incredible life. Best
00:00:36
wishes to him, but it does bring up some
00:00:38
really big issues. First off, the cover
00:00:40
up. Yeah, it was a cover up. And guess
00:00:43
what? Anyone with aging parents, we all
00:00:46
are co-conspirators in this cover up
00:00:48
because your parents, their brain
00:00:51
shrinks and they don't realize, no, they
00:00:53
think it's insane that you take their
00:00:55
driver's license from them. I beat
00:00:57
Trump. I'm pushing back on Russia. I
00:01:00
passed the Infrastructure Act. Of
00:01:02
course, I can be president for another
00:01:03
four years. I mean, that was a less
00:01:05
crazy statement than a lot of the
00:01:07
my dad said at 70. There wasn't anything
00:01:09
sinister here. There's what happens a
00:01:11
lot. And for me, this all goes to the
00:01:12
same place. We need age limits, folks.
00:01:14
Biology is undefeated. It's absolutely
00:01:17
undefeated. But I do feel badly. This
00:01:19
guy's devoted himself to service. I
00:01:21
think on the whole, he will be judged
00:01:23
well by history. I think he's done a lot
00:01:24
of important things. I think the last
00:01:27
couple years of his life did have not
00:01:28
gone well for him. Um, and this is a bad
00:01:31
this is bad news.
