Okay, Spencer, is it President Biden's place to weigh in, do you think, 85 days into a
00:05
new presidential term?
00:09
You know, I actually wish that he would not, even though, of course, you know, many Democrats
00:15
would point to the behavior of President Trump in constantly criticizing Joe Biden, often
00:21
in the most insulting terms.
00:23
But I think this is one of the traditions we have to win back in this country in order
00:29
to preserve our democracy.
00:31
It can often seem very artificial, the way politicians have traditionally referred to, you know, their
00:37
opponent as their honorable friend, for example, in Congress, when you know he probably, he
00:42
or she probably hates that other person's guts.
00:44
But democracy depends on that old fashion anyways.
00:51
So it's obviously fair game to have the most vigorous debates about policy, but the attacks
00:57
on the person are destructive to democracy because it shifts our focus away from what
01:02
should really matter, which is the policies that serve the American people best, not, you
01:08
know, sort of worldwide wrestling entertainment combat between individual personalities.
01:14
I also think that as much as I like and respect President Biden, I think it's time for the Democratic
01:22
Party to move forward with new leaders, and it doesn't need to be any judgment on him.
01:26
I think that from the audience you can understand, the way that you can, you know, make it a
01:30
way that you can approach and reach out to the revolution in a world of a community,
01:33
to be honest, you know, for all those not to be honest and good, or four that are
01:34
your relationship to a country and be a real leader.
01:36
And we think that this is our main degree in a country where we have to say just, it's
01:37
a rather clear and clear, just so we know that.
01:39
So when you're at the first place, we're at the next level here and the near
01:42
of the next level here.
01:45
So if you're at the next level, I'd be not as simple as possible to be honest, we'll throw it
01:47
the next level.
01:47
So if you're at the next level, you're at the next level, we're at the next level here.
