" I don't usually follow video links, especially Twitter ones, but I watched the first few minutes of that. I really have no words.
I guess I ought to thank you for posting the link, in the same way that one has mixed feelings about thanking a proctologist for his diligent work. You don't enjoy the experience, but it may have been good for you in the long run.

Good morning old bud, while I watched that interview live, I couldn't help but think of you. Since you have unselfishly shared your thoughts with me and others for at least 25 years I felt an obligation, to try. If you want, I'll bet you dinner on your next trip to Vegas, that I can convince you that if you were an American voter, with kids and grandkids, and even IF you are FAR left on all the social issues, like me, you too would have concluded that four years of unpredictable trump was far superior and less risky, than another 8 years of Jill, Hunter, Harris and friends. Jake Tapper has a book coming out next month that will further explain. Here is a review of the book,
"" From two of America’s most respected journalists, an unflinching and explosive reckoning with one of the most fateful decisions in American political history: Joe Biden’s run for reelection despite evidence of his serious decline—amid desperate efforts to hide the extent of that deterioration
In Greek tragedy, the protagonist’s effort to avoid his fate is what seals his fate. In 2024, American politics became a Greek tragedy.
Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump presidential term. He, his family, and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again, they lied to themselves, allies, and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debate with Trump on June 27, 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed to the world. It was shocking and upsetting.
Now the full, unsettling truth is being told for the first time. Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson take us behind closed doors and into private conversations between the heaviest of hitters, revealing how big the problem was and how many people knew about it. From White House staffers at the highest to lowest levels, to leaders of Congress and the Cabinet, from governors to donors and Hollywood players, the truth is finally being told. What you will learn makes President Biden’s decision to run for reelection seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless—a desperate bet that went bust—and part of a larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents. The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that will continue for decades.
The irony is biting: In the name of defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy, Biden and his inner circle ensured it, tossing aside his implicit promise to serve for only one term, denying the existence of health issues the nation had been watching for years, dooming the Democrats to defeat. The decision to run again, the Original Sin of this president, led to a campaign of denial and gaslighting, leading directly to Donald Trump's return to power and all that has happened as a consequence. Rarely does hubris meet nemesis more explosively. Wherever you stand on the political spectrum, Original Sin is essential reading."
Anyway, IF you want me to share the facts with you, with respect to America, it would be my pleasure as payback. IF your mind is made up, I get it, I won't waste your time, best of luck going forward. In closing, if you want some good laughs , even if you don't gamble, read my book which I doubt I ever mentioned to you, so you at least know WHO you have been chatting with for 25 years. " ONLY IN AMERICA", how I turned 700$$ into millions gambling in Vegas, and bringing small caps public in the wall street shark tank. " IF I knew how I would tell amazon to make it free for 30 days online, but I don't know that either. Best of luck, stay healthy! hc.
