Summary
On this episode of Morning Joe, Joe Biden is ambushed with facts, and Joe Biden tries to defend himself, but the facts are not so easy to defend. Joe Biden has been in the public eye for a long time, and his mental health has always been a source of controversy. But what does it really mean about his mental well-being, and how does it affect his ability to run for president in 2020?

00:00:06.660
And watch how this exchange looks like on Morning Joe, Joe protecting Biden,
00:00:14.340
even though he knew he wasn't doing well, and he keeps trying to dodge it,
00:00:21.180
Yeah, so I actually have the clip that he's referencing,
00:00:26.100
Okay, do that. Go for it. Do that, and then we'll go to this.
00:00:28.680
So here's Morning Joe, and then you see the other fellow asking him the questions.
00:00:35.660
But comparing that guy's mental state, I've said it for years now.
00:00:48.740
In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been intellectually, analytically,
00:00:59.880
And, you know, I don't know if people know this or not.
00:01:05.360
Sometimes that Irishman would get in front of the reasoning.
00:01:09.120
Sometimes he would say things he didn't want to say.
00:01:16.980
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell you the truth.
00:01:20.520
He started at you if you can't handle the truth.
00:01:24.800
This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
00:01:37.300
Rob, you're doing it right for playing this first, Rob.
00:01:43.060
Well, it was misleading to say best by never without caveating it and say, except on the
00:01:55.520
You did, because you saw him address a dead congresswoman, and you saw him in South Carolina.
00:02:04.760
There were plenty of days in public when he was not the best Biden ever.
00:02:18.820
But it's actually the same case as a lot of times when I've gone in and talked to Donald
00:02:25.580
We've gone to Donald Trump, and I've heard the media narrative around Donald Trump, and
00:02:30.440
certainly I've been very critical of Donald Trump.
00:02:32.920
And when I leave, I have a better understanding, just like Jeffrey Goldberg did a couple of
00:02:37.020
weeks ago, I have a better understanding of where Donald Trump is mentally, if Donald
00:02:42.020
Trump is losing it, like people have said through the years or not.
00:02:48.020
And so, again, am I going to look at a clip that's gone viral and pay more attention to
00:02:55.440
that than two and a half, three hours I had with a guy one-on-one going around the world?
00:03:06.520
I can understand why people would see that without the context.
00:03:10.640
And say that there was a problem with that, especially because I said, start rolling your
00:03:19.360
But, you know, when I look at that tape, based on what I saw with him, based on the time that
00:03:26.260
I spent with him, based on the hundreds of hours, you can pause it right here.
00:03:36.940
I'll go to Adam and then I'm going to show you what Megyn Kelly does to Jake Tapper.
00:03:43.380
Play the first minute and I'll go to it because they're the same thing.
00:03:47.600
I did ask Joe Biden to be transparent about his health records in an interview in 2020.
00:03:52.220
I did ask him about the fact that voters thought that he he was not transparent at all.
00:03:58.020
He promised you that he would be transparent about his health records and then he wasn't.
00:04:01.060
And when you sat with him again, including one month, including one month after the Jackie
00:04:07.360
You didn't follow up on the fact that he was falling up the stairs, that he was losing
00:04:11.440
his train of thought regularly, that he was slurring, that he was incomprehensible, that
00:04:16.440
You sat right across from him and you asked none of that, notwithstanding the fact that
00:04:19.880
he had promised you he would be fully transparent about his health issues.
00:04:22.780
You know as well as I do that there's a way of you can say, hey, there's this poll on your
00:04:27.040
age, or you could say you just forgot that Jackie Walorsky was dead.
00:04:31.800
You you asked where she was moments after watching a videotape tribute to her.
00:04:37.660
You lowered the flags at the White House after she died.
00:04:43.820
There is a way of pressing a man like that on the actual infirmities to bring it home
00:04:51.760
I mean, you sat with him a couple of times in the course of his presidency and these issues
00:04:59.040
And but separate apart from that, you covered the Biden's presidency.
00:05:06.680
I had one interview with him during his presidency.
00:05:07.840
And it was 13 days after the Jackie Walorsky thing.
00:05:10.280
But you covered the Biden presidency aggressively throughout the four years.
00:05:13.160
And and you didn't cover mental acuity hardly at all.
00:05:16.700
I mean, so this is how I'm going to bring it over to you.
00:05:19.680
So mainstream media hasn't learned their lesson.
00:05:23.420
The Internet saw the clip of you guys saying the same exact thing.
00:05:29.040
With Trump now ambush and you see his popularity is increasing.
00:05:36.720
The governor of New Jersey, it's a left state, has a worse popularity approval rating than Trump does in New Jersey.
00:05:45.320
Go to Rutgers, see what they teach you about Trump.
00:05:51.100
And then I'm mourning Joe and Jake Tapper, who have been looked at as these incredible journalists, are sitting there being questioned by others and they don't know how to answer the question.
00:06:00.900
Let me tell you, this pisses me off more than maybe anything, because this is the reason I became so anti-Trump for many years, because they lied to me.
00:06:12.400
There's nothing worse than thinking that you're on the right side of history, but you've been lied to this whole time.
00:06:18.500
This is why, you know, you joke about that I'm more MAGA than anybody these days.
00:06:25.040
I want to make America great because I've been lied to.
00:06:28.520
Because in 2016, I had a nice situation at work where I started working remote and made some money.
00:06:33.700
And I was watching Mourning Joe every single morning.
00:06:37.360
Why did I watch Mourning Joe every single morning?
00:06:39.620
Because I like the fact that Joe Scarborough was a Republican and Mika Brzezinski was a Democrat and they had an entire conversation of panels and they made it seem like it's an open discussion discourse.
00:06:53.300
What I didn't fully realize is this guy hates Trump with every fiber of his being.
00:07:01.100
And that's the biggest problem with a lot of these people, whether it's the Jake Tappers of the world, whether it's the Joe Scarboroughs of the world.
00:07:10.400
Even Megyn Kelly hated Trump because you remember that situation when he had blood coming down.
00:07:15.200
But she at least has come out of TDS and defends the truth.
00:07:18.740
So the question is, you know, talk about the red pill.
00:07:21.940
Would you rather be lied to and people tell you what you want to hear?
00:07:25.080
Or would you rather hear the truth, but people tell you what you don't necessarily want to hear?
00:07:33.060
And I'm like, I see what's happening in real time where these people are not willing to admit that basically the walking dead Joe Biden was pulling a weekend at Bernie's.
00:07:44.860
And you defended him like he was completely cogent and cognizant.
00:07:53.680
When it got to the point where he calls me and says, Pat, I just want to drop everything.
00:07:56.780
I want to come and work with you and run with you.
00:08:07.060
And, you know, Adam, one of the most charming, charismatic guys you'll meet.
00:08:18.400
By the way, that was a trip that I was shooting some videos.
00:08:23.600
And then I fly back and I call him and I say, so Adam, it's the interview.
00:08:35.980
Because, you know, you know how I feel about it.
00:08:48.060
And Trump doesn't bring that out of people at all.
00:08:52.900
This is where the audience gets upset sometimes because you don't answer questions.
00:08:56.120
No matter what you say, you're not going to convince me to vote for fucking Trump.
00:09:00.420
So whatever way you want of the way of the question, I'm not going to say you got it.
00:09:14.060
But let me tell you, I'm telling you guys, he may be the biggest supporter now, okay, than anybody in this room.
00:09:22.640
And here's the other part I want to add to this.
00:09:35.180
Adam, you know, was involved that he followed the news.
00:09:38.680
He knows congressmen's names from 30 years ago.
00:09:45.960
And it leads to now Jon Stewart calling out Jake Tapper.
00:09:49.640
Rob, if you got this clip, watch this one here.
00:09:58.440
We're back with breaking news and our politics lead and a brand new excerpt from my upcoming book with Axios' Alex Thompson.
00:10:29.080
Don't news people have to tell you what they know when they find it out?
00:10:47.200
Isn't that the difference between news and a secret?
00:11:06.700
By the way, how much better is The Daily Show with Jon Stewart back?
00:11:09.900
I know they had the DEI hire, Trevor Noah, really bad.
00:11:15.240
But they also have other people on that show that are amazingly anti-Trump.
00:11:33.460
But here's what they're telling their audience.
00:11:36.420
They say the fact they're talking about the white genocide.
00:11:38.440
We just basically had a conversation about that.
00:11:40.460
He goes, you know how I know there's no white genocide?
00:11:45.480
So basically already saying, if Trump said it, don't believe him.
00:11:50.300
And this is what they think about you if you vote for Trump.
00:12:06.640
And he goes, I'm actually shocked that these people actually even know how to read.
00:12:12.360
Like this is what they think of a voter who votes for Trump.
00:12:23.900
And he says, I actually didn't even expect them to read.
00:12:32.000
He said, I truly did not expect them to be able to read because they voted for Trump.
00:12:37.780
You know when it hit and manifested the exact moment where I was like, oh, my God.
00:12:42.880
I know I've been lied to, but now I'm already seeing what's going on.
00:12:47.300
Do you remember the Trump Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden?
00:12:52.380
Right before this is the famous Tony Hinchcliffe, Puerto Rico.
00:12:57.440
That's when you did your interview with Piers Morgan.
00:12:59.040
And I would hear from all my friends, I can't believe you're in New York.
00:13:14.200
We were all there to see the movie, The Man You Don't Know.
00:13:21.460
See, that night, when I tell you it was so pro-Israel, it was so pro-Netanyahu, it was so pro-Judaism, that I went up to Jewish people.
00:13:43.000
So I'm telling my friends, arguing with them, Jewish guys, I'm like, you know what?
00:13:48.600
You're exactly who I was five years ago, because I was at Mar-a-Lago, and it was the exact opposite of what they're saying about Nazi rallies.
00:14:06.180
How long do you think it took Jake Tapper, the freaking hack that he is, the BS artist, and that guy, to compile everything?
00:14:14.820
In fact, if you have to say ballpark, how much to compile it, write it, rewrite it, editing, da-da-da, all that.
00:14:23.000
Well, in a case like this, I know where you're going.
00:14:31.080
And I'm happy that you were saying what you were saying during this.
00:14:34.640
I want them to keep doing this ambush shit, keep doing all this Nazi, Hitler, all that.
00:14:41.720
But I don't want them to start sounding like they're – oh, no, we've all changed.
00:14:48.180
Because the moment these people let their party back in power, every single thing that Trump has done is going to be undone.
00:14:55.800
And that's why when I say, Pat, they're the enemy, this party – and we have a bunch of stories that we're going to get into with assassinations and all that.
00:15:06.400
And I don't think they could ever get back into power.
00:15:17.120
Here's the view reacting to Jake Tapper and then, Tom, I'm going to come to you.
00:15:20.400
And I got something I'm going to show you guys.
00:15:22.020
A show that's going to rival these guys that I want you to tell the world about.
00:15:33.060
It seems to me, you know, we got a lot of stuff to be concerned about at the moment.
00:15:50.220
Cutting Medicaid, slashing funding for cancer research.
00:15:56.800
Dismantling USAID, which helps children and people who are poor around the world.
00:16:01.200
Fears of recession, destroying due process, ending birthright citizenship, dismantling the Department
00:16:07.180
of education, rolling back regulations on air and water quality, destroying our relationships
00:16:12.640
with allies like Canada and the UK and targeting his political opponents.
00:16:17.760
And not on that, but he also said that Joe Biden has stage nine cancer.
00:16:25.720
Joe Biden is going to write a book about the cognitive decline of the person who is in
00:16:35.060
I wasn't as extreme as watching this ridiculous show, but I understand why people fall for
00:16:43.820
You know, what's interesting is they're going to lose their megaphone.
00:16:53.000
We were just talking about The Daily Show, and there was something that John said at
00:16:56.180
the end of that clip, far at the end, that I watched last night.
00:17:00.160
He says, and why am I paying $30 to read in a book what you should have told me three years
00:17:08.060
If you go find that, there's a quote from John Stewart where he says, free, and why am
00:17:11.760
I buying a book when three years ago you should have told me for free?
00:17:15.600
But remember, remember, Adam, you'll remember this because I know you were up on media
00:17:20.360
and this, remember when the people started doing surveys and they found out, hey, did
00:17:26.100
you know that some of these Gen Xs are getting their news from The Daily Show more than they
00:17:42.600
The shift in cable as people get to Hulu and they go online and they don't even get cable
00:17:47.900
anymore, you know, the Gen Zs, Vinny, they don't even buy cable.
00:17:53.300
All the old cable going away, and with it, the unprofitable news.
00:17:59.640
It's a company being spun out of Comcast and NBC, and what are they putting in it?
00:18:09.240
And CNBC, they say, is the only real jewel because of the way it covers business and it's
00:18:13.300
actually a profitable point in there, and it doesn't have a bunch of hosts with $10 million
00:18:21.780
And now, David Zaslav, after he has lost NBA, NBA was on Turner for how many decades?
00:18:31.740
NFL Sunday ticket has gone to YouTube, YouTube TV.
00:18:35.040
The ice is melting below the feet of the cable empire, and people are turning for their
00:18:41.180
news elsewhere, and David Zaslav has got to take Turner and CNN and spin them out and
00:18:52.840
I know somebody that'd be interested if it was a garage sale number.
00:18:59.360
CNN, this is David Faber was talking, there's an article that's written this, and then there
00:19:03.900
was a attributed quote that they won't put the name on.
00:19:06.480
So they said there's a direct quote, we'll put the name on, this is a, this is a high
00:19:17.500
He has to spin it out, and he has to keep CNN in the basket, because the rest of the
00:19:22.540
CNN, quote, will be orphaned without any real investment or future.
00:19:34.320
I agree with that, but the point is, with their current economics, why are they cutting
00:19:43.940
If the product was different, it would be different.
00:19:46.800
With all the frustration people have with The View, a lot of people were talking.
00:19:52.300
We have the next episode that's going out tomorrow, 11 o'clock.
00:19:54.920
Folks, if you want to see another show rival The View and compete against it, watch this
00:20:01.600
preview of tomorrow's episode that's coming out.
00:20:05.220
These are real people debating and pushing and challenging each other.
00:20:09.480
We want this thing to get to a million subscribers.
00:20:21.180
I know you get real angry when people ask you that question, but you need to answer it.
00:20:41.260
After 9-11, I wanted to bomb the crap out of Iraq.
00:20:43.860
When is American policy no longer made in America?
00:20:49.240
No, because it has no effect on any American's life.
00:20:51.900
Who cares if you're the leader of Syria's market?
00:21:04.960
Why do we need to be the sheriff of the entire world?
00:21:07.300
We're so overrun here in America due to the illegal immigration.
00:21:10.700
How are we meant to go and police on another place?
00:21:18.000
The fact that they're not agreeing on every single thing is why...
00:21:24.040
Rob, can you put the link below in the description?
00:21:29.800
We want the view to react to something that these guys are talking about
00:21:33.460
because the direction America wants to go to is this direction.
00:21:38.380
where people are sitting there arguing with each other,
00:21:44.500
If you want to see us take this thing even to more...
00:21:48.620
Maybe even soon do a live show with live audience attendance.
00:21:56.840
The last year, we had 1,500 husband and wives that were there.
00:21:59.580
And one of the things the guys, the David Consultant,
00:22:05.260
how to balance this with family and the kids and all this other stuff.
00:22:15.040
how to be a killer in business without killing your marriage?
00:22:18.320
And I said, I'm going to talk about all the mistakes I've made, okay?
00:22:20.760
And we're going to talk about how we balance all this stuff together.
00:22:24.000
for some of you guys that think that's really me with all those hands,
00:22:30.660
Rob, if you want to play the clip, go ahead and play the clip.
00:22:32.720
You know what's scary for some people is they want to be a killer in business.
00:22:35.260
They want to do a great job as an executive, as a CEO, entrepreneur, business owner,
00:22:41.040
You want to go make all the money, travel, win for your family,
00:22:44.100
but you want to stay married, you want to have a good relation with your kids,
00:22:46.520
you want your kids to still want to see how do you do this?
00:22:50.720
Number one, you're allowing your family and friends make you feel guilty for your vision,
00:22:55.260
which is going to create resentment towards them.
00:23:00.620
You don't really know what you're doing it for.
00:23:01.980
So work-life balance is a question that comes up for people that are not clear of what they want to do.
00:23:06.540
They haven't had the conversation with their family.
00:23:08.660
Number three is the concept of being intentional with the time you're spending with your family.
00:23:12.800
And number four is maybe you're just looking for an excuse to not work that hard
00:23:19.900
This concept of work-life balance comes up every single day with people who ask me this question.
00:23:25.500
On June 11th, I'm hosting a free webinar for one hour to talk about work-life balance
00:23:30.760
with the people that don't have the answer to the questions there,
00:23:34.960
I'm married now with four kids, running all these businesses.
00:23:40.440
All I'm going to do is share with you mistakes I've made and things that are working for me.
00:23:51.260
Again, on June 11th, register because it's limited seating on this webinar.
00:24:00.740
By the way, I may have my wife and one of my kids maybe join me as well.
00:24:03.900
Rob, what is the website for them to go register for this free webinar?
00:24:10.060
We have limited to 3,000 seats, so just make sure you go get registered.
00:24:17.320
I've done a lot of webinars, but we've never done a webinar on this.
00:24:20.340
This has been coming up a lot the last 60, 12 months.
00:24:22.400
In my opinion, based on the conversations I have with everyone out there,
00:24:25.220
this actually might be the most important webinar you've ever done.
00:24:30.660
I'm in the process of learning this stuff, but I can't wait to have this one with you guys.
