00:00I don't know, should he have come out and spoken about it?

00:03If he did know, what situation was Biden really left in?

00:07So I am cynical about these things.

00:10And I think that, let's look at what's happening tomorrow.

00:17The Jake Tapper book that he co-authored is coming out, The Original Sin.

00:21And that looks at people within the Biden administration

00:24who knew that Joe Biden was cognitively and physically not in the best of shape.

00:29And they covered it up so that they could continue to put him out on the campaign trail

00:33and he could run for a second term.

00:35That book, I think, is going to damage greatly Joe Biden's legacy.

00:42The day before that comes out, there is an announcement

00:45that is going to create a lot of sympathy for the president, the former president.

00:52And that, I think, is difficult.

00:55As someone who appreciates how the world works nowadays,

01:01I think it's difficult to not connect those two.

01:04Especially if, as the doctor you interviewed, is correct in his summations

01:08that this is something that he would have known about for quite some time.

01:12Why not announce it last year or as soon as it was known?

01:17Why not announce it in January, February, March?

01:21Now it just seems like they recognize that this is an opportunity to announce it

01:26so that it helps our cause and it maybe deflects from some of the damage

01:32that's going to come because of the book.

01:33So, let's go.
