We're a country of more than 330 million people and the top two candidates for president this year, it's a man with one foot in the grave who can't remember where he is most of the time. And the others is a narcissistic, convicted felon. Hellbent, apparently on revenge. Is this really the best this country can do? What do you thin, Farron? It's amazing to me, when you think of the numbers and qualified people out there, this is what we have to choose from. This makes a person who has enough sense, has enough sense, to try to defend the indefensible with both of them. Okay. When we do a segment, what do we have to do? Are your eyes not working? Are your ears not working? Can't you see this guy's falling off a demented cliff? Or when you almost every day talk about the things that Trump does that are just absolutely reprehensible. But they can't see it. Or can they see it and they're just saying, what the hell? I just gotta live through it.
Well, and you know the funny thing about the critiques of Biden wanting him to step down is, people like Rob Reiner, last week he reiterated again, Biden you need to step down.
Meathead. Yeah.
And everybody in the comments are like, F you Rob Reiner.
I know.
It's like, he didn't say he's not gonna vote for a Democrat. He'll still vote for Biden.
Or how about Bill? I mean, all of them. Bill Maher, my God, you think he's become a villain. Jon Stewart, he's become a villain. Rob Reiner. These are, George Clooney, these are people that have been in the middle of protecting this guy when they knew, when they absolutely knew that he was toast. That he was brown bread. They understood. But nevertheless, they defended him anyway.
Right. And asking for something better to these angry people online is absolutely unforgivable. You can't ask for better, really? 333 million people in this country and these are the two we get to choose from.
Well, okay. We get, the comments we get, apparently, from what I can tell are that, well, this is our candidate. Why are you talking about this? Well, we're talking about it because Biden needs to do the best thing he should do for the country and step down and put somebody who can beat Trump in that place, maybe younger by about 50 frigging years.
Well, that's what Trump did by picking JD Vance.
Oh, JD Vance was brilliant. It was a brilliant choice. He's saying, look, I get it. We're too old. We got old congressman. We got old people running for president.
I think JD Vance is younger than me.
He's 39.
Jesus.
Yes, he's 39.
That hurts
Yeah. He's 39. You have a better beard though. So anyway, as I'm looking at this, my conclusion is that they're gonna have to live with it because they created themselves. Voters created this themselves, didn't they?
Well, they created it I think based on the media feeding it to them. This is what the media has pushed us. Right wing media quickly fell in line with Donald Trump. Left wing media, obviously with Biden here. So the media feeds this to them. And anybody who may be on the fence, like we've said, like, hey, wish we had somebody else. We get attacked relentlessly. And we've seen other people, Joe Scarborough's a great example.
Joe Brzezinski, as I like to call him.
He came out and said, Biden needs to step down, got bullied to the point where he says, I am sorry, I tow the line now.
Oh, isn't it disgusting?
Biden is the guy.
Isn't it disgusting?
And it's obvious what happened.
I mean, here's this guy that blows in the wind, whatever the hell is happening, I'm gonna go over here because the wind.
He used to be good friends with Donald Trump.
Oh, I understand. I understand. You know, he used to work here at this law firm that's firm for God's sakes. So I've watched his entire career.
