00:00I think we treated Joe Biden like shit.
00:03Like people just treated Joe Biden like absolute trash.
00:07And for what? Nothing.
00:09The man just got old.
00:12That's literally all he's guilty of.
00:14He got old.
00:17And people, they're like, oh my God, have you seen Joe Biden these days?
00:20He's so old.
00:21You're like, yeah.
00:23That's what happens.
00:24You get older as a person.
00:26I can't believe how old he is.
00:27I'm like, yo, when you voted for him, it's not like he was 20.
00:32People make it seem like he pulled like a magic trick and then all of a sudden flipped into an old man.
00:37He came in as an old man.
00:39And then now he was a slightly older man.
00:40And people are like, oh my God, I can't believe him.
00:43Why does he think he can't be president?
00:45Because you told him he could.
00:49People were so shitty to Joe Biden.
00:51They were just like pulling at strings.
00:53I mean like, God, you see the other day he forgot.
00:55He like forgot where he was.
00:57He said the wrong city.
00:59He said, he said, what a damn.
01:00You know what I mean?
01:02I'm like, yo, people do that all the time.
01:04Especially when you're older.
01:04Yeah, you, you, because think of it this way.
01:06It's not even about like old as in your brain is, is like, you know, is degrading.
01:10Think about how much information you have consumed by that point.
01:13And you know, think about how many names you've heard, how many places you've been, how many stories.
01:17Of course, some things are going to get jumbled up.
01:19You know, it's like, yeah, the person's old.
01:21He's just old.
01:22That's all Joe Biden is.
01:23He's old.
01:24He'd be like, yeah, I would just, I don't know.
01:26It's just weird.
01:27It's not, it's not that.
01:28My grand, my grandmother, my grandfather, they would forget or switch my name with my
01:33siblings' names all the time.
01:35I'm sure you had that.
01:36Right?
01:36They're just like, my grandmother.
01:38Sometimes she'd be like, ah, Andrew.
01:39And I'd be like, no, Trevor.
01:40And she'd be like, ah.
01:41Yeah, when she did that, there was no point where I was like, she needs to step down.
01:47She's not fit to be my grandmother anymore.
01:51Oh, we treat old people like such shit in society.
01:59It's like, we make it like they're disposable.
02:01You know, it's like, ah, you're old.
02:02All right, get out of the way.
02:03You're old now.
02:05It's over.
02:06He just got, he just got old.
02:08Yeah.
02:08And yes, the things that he did, they, obviously, they don't make you comfortable.
02:11Don't get me wrong.
02:12Like, they'll throw you off.
02:13So, for instance, one of the big ones was, he was at the G20, right?
02:16And he was introducing President Zelensky of Ukraine.
02:20And then he said, it gives me a lot of pleasure to introduce to you right now, the president,
02:26the president of the, one of the most powerful presidents, my honor to introduce Vladimir Putin.
02:33Oh, no, no, no.
02:34And people are like, no, Joe, he's not fit to run this country.
02:43And I was like, yeah, he made a mistake.
02:45Think about how many times he says Putin, how many times he says, it's not like he said
02:48like a random, it's not like he was like, Idi Amin.
02:52No.
02:53He said, I get it, Putin, you know what I mean?
02:55Yeah, that can happen to you.
02:57It's a brain fart.
02:58You know?
02:59And then people said the dumbest thing.
03:01Someone said to me, they were like, well, you know, Trevor, what if, what if it gets,
03:04what if it gets into a situation where he does something really bad?
03:07Like, he could make a mistake like that, and he could bomb the wrong country.
03:11I was like, do you know how countries work?
03:17What do you mean he could bomb the wrong country?
03:21What, you think Joe Biden's there with the keys to the jet?
03:25And he's just like, I've got to pop out and do something real quick.
03:30I've got to fly to Eastern Europe.
03:33And he's like, take that, Ukraine.
03:36No, I meant Russia.
03:38No, I meant Russia.
03:41You know how much bureaucracy exists between Joe Biden and a country being bombed?
03:47Like, if he said, we've got to bomb Ukraine, they'd be like, you mean Russia?
03:50He'd be like, oh, yeah, yeah, I mean Russia, of course.
03:53It's not like it just happens.
03:55It's not a thing.
03:57We treated him like such trash.
03:59He's like an old man, you know, trying to fight for his country.
04:03That's all he was doing.
04:03And here's the thing, forget the politics.
04:05It was just like the old thing that was like, I was like, why are we doing this, man?
04:08Guys, it's old.
04:09It's not as sharp as he used to be.
04:10That's life.
04:11It's going to happen to all of us, hopefully.
04:13You know, if you get there, it'll happen to you.
04:15I'm like, Joe Biden, trash.
04:19And look, I will be fair.
04:20I will be honest.
04:21I think what didn't help was that his team didn't acknowledge that he was getting older.
04:27I don't think that helps.
04:29And that is a problem I have with, like, a lot of American political spin.
04:33They try and tell you that what you're seeing is not what you're seeing.
04:36You know?
04:37So, like, Joe Biden would, like, he would be like, uh, uh, uh, uh, and then people would be like, yo, he's getting older.
04:41And his team would be like, Joe Biden is not getting older at all.
04:46In fact, he's younger than he's ever been.
04:50They're like, that's not how numbers work.
04:52The man is just getting older and older and older.
04:55Just say, yes, he's old.
04:58Just say he's old.
05:02Because, yeah, he was doing, yeah, making some mistakes.
05:05One of the ones that, you know, one of the big ones that threw people off was he would repeatedly bring up world leaders that he had recently had a conversation with, which is fine.
05:15The only issue was that those world leaders had long been dead.
05:21And that would throw people off, you know?
05:22He'd be up there and he'd be like, I just had a conversation the other day with, uh, Chancellor Olaf.
05:28And then people were like, Chancellor Olaf died 30 years ago.
05:32And they were like, oh, no.
05:34Oh, no, Joe Biden.
05:36Oh, no.
05:37And everyone's like, he's senile.
05:38He's got dementia.
05:39Oh, no.
05:40Oh, no.
05:41Oh, no.
05:41I understand why people thought that.
05:44I also, I also should let, you know, full disclosure, so we're completely honest in this room.
05:48I am biased, okay?
05:50I'm biased because I've met Joe Biden.
05:52I met him at an event called the White House Correspondents Dinner, okay?
05:55And this event, you're there.
05:58The president is there.
05:59Because of the security and everything, you have to get there well ahead of time.
06:01So you spend time.
06:02You get to meet the president.
06:03You have a long conversation with him and the first lady.
06:05And then later on in the evening, you have another conversation.
06:08And then after that, you have another conversation.
06:09And then after the event, you have another conversation.
06:10So in the span of, like, five, six hours, I got to speak to Joe Biden frequently.
06:15And I have nothing to gain from telling you this.
06:17The man's not running for president or anything.
06:19He's done.
06:20Like, he's fully copious mantis.
06:21He was with it.
06:22You know, slight speech impediment, yes.
06:24But otherwise, he was with it.
06:26You know, he could recall information.
06:28He kept up with the conversation.
06:29He was with me.
06:30He was lucid.
06:31It was fine.
06:32Do you know what I mean?
06:33Like, he would talk to me.
06:34He's like, hey, Trevor, you know, another thing in the country.
06:36And the things I dream for as Americans.
06:38You do that thing.
06:39It was fine.
06:40It's not like he talked to me, and then, like, three hours later, came back, and he was like, Jackie Robinson.
06:55That didn't happen.
06:58You know?
07:00So, I don't know.
07:00Like, I'll be honest.
07:02I have a different theory.
07:03I think, um, I don't think Joe Biden has dementia.
07:06I don't think he's senile.
07:08I just think Joe Biden is old.
07:10But I think he's so old that he can communicate with the other side.
07:23We don't consider that.
07:24But he's basically in that space between.
07:31That should have been their campaign, actually.
07:34Yeah, instead of saying he's not old, they should have doubled down.
07:36They should have been like, you're damn right Joe Biden's old.
07:38He's the oldest president this country's ever had, and you should be grateful.
07:42I don't know who better to protect the Constitution than someone who was there when they were writing it.
07:47But now he's out.
07:56Now he's out.
07:58And I'll be honest, I'm happy for him.
07:59I'm happy that Joe Biden gets to go out like this.
08:01I think, again, as an old person, you should have a dignified end.
08:04You know, I think we've robbed old people of that in society.
08:06You know, capitalism and whatever.
08:07It's like, no, it's nice to, like, you know, you've lived your life, you've done your thing.
08:11Relax now, you know?
08:12And Joe Biden feels more relaxed.
08:13I don't know if you've seen him recently.
08:14He just has, like, a different swag to him now.
08:16You know?
08:17Yeah, it just feels like someone, like, loosened up the joints.
08:20You know?
08:21Because, like, before, when you saw Joe Biden, he was a little precarious, you know?
08:25When you see him, like, walk, he didn't, like, inspire confidence.
08:28Like, he's, like, stumbly and, you know what I mean?
08:30He always looked like a late-stage Jenga tower.
08:32Like, you know?
08:36Which is probably why the Secret Service wasn't so good at protecting Trump or him.
08:41Like, it's just, like, in their defense, they've been protecting geriatrics for the past decade.
08:45Of course they're not in practice.
08:48You know?
08:49Like, when they're protecting young presidents, they're like,
08:50all right, everybody, look out for the shooter.
08:51Look out, because the danger's up.
08:53That's where you've got to look.
08:53You've got to look up there.
08:54You've got to look.
08:54When you're protecting old people, you're just like, all right, look at the ground.
08:56Where's the stairs?
08:58Where's the stairs?
08:59Where's the stairs?
09:00Look out, Mr. President.
09:01There's a dog that's shat here.
09:02Hold on.
09:03Hold on.
09:03Come on.
09:04Come on.
09:10He's got a different story.
09:11Joe Biden's got, like, a, like, oh, he's got a vibe now, man.
09:13The other day he was at a, it was, like, a little, not a rally, it was just a meeting
09:18with, like, a community somewhere, some were Biden supporters, some weren't.
09:23He's just walking around, greeting him, like, hey, how you doing over there?
09:25Good, good, good to see you.
09:26How you doing?
09:27How you doing?
09:27And there's a guy sitting wearing a Trump hat, right?
09:30Wearing a Trump hat.
09:30And Joe Biden comes, like, hey, how you doing?
09:32How you doing, man?
09:33And he's like, I don't like you.
09:35And Joe Biden's like, oh, yeah, I don't like you either.
09:37And I was like, oh, who's this guy?
09:42Who's this guy?
09:43He's like, oh, yeah, I don't like you either.
09:45I don't like you.
09:45He's like, you're old.
09:46He's like, oh, you want to talk.
09:47Look at you.
09:47You're old.
09:49And he just started, like, trading with this guy back.
09:51Wasn't presidential.
09:52He wasn't like, oh, well, I see why you feel.
09:53He's like, nah, man, you old as shit.
09:55Look at your face.
09:56Like, goddamn.
09:57He's like, you're old.
09:58You're just old.
09:59I'm old and I'm president, bitch.
10:01He just had, like, a different, like, vibe to him.
10:03You're like, what?
10:05What?
10:05And the guy was wearing a Trump hat.
10:08And then he said something to buy.
10:09He was like, yeah, that hat.
10:12And Joe Biden's like, come on, wear my hat.
10:14And he's like, no.
10:14He's like, would you wear this one?
10:16And Joe Biden's like, yeah, I'll wear your hat.
10:17Give me the hat.
10:18And he takes the hat and he puts the Trump hat on.
10:20He's like, yeah.
10:21And that guy, you should have seen that guy's face.
10:22He was like, wah.
10:25Because he thought maybe, like, Biden would, like, burn or something.
10:27I don't know.
10:28Just turn to it.
10:29He was like, wah.
10:30He's like, I like you a lot more now.
10:32And then Joe Biden just walked away.
10:36He just had, like, his swag.
10:37He's like, all right, man.
10:38I see you, man.
10:41I'm happy for him.
10:44That's how everyone deserves to leave, you know?
10:47It's nice.
10:49And now it means he's out of it, but we're in it.
10:52Now the world, the world, everyone in the world, because America's elections are the world's elections.
10:56You know, now we'll see what happens.
10:58Now it's Kamala Harris instead.
11:00Yeah.
11:01Is it a woo?
11:02Is it a woo for you?
11:03Okay.
11:04Okay.
11:05Wait, wait, wait, wait.
11:05But what does it mean?
11:07What kind of, what, is it woo like I'm excited or woo it's going to happen?
11:10It's happening.
11:11It's happening.
11:12Damn, look at you.
11:13All right.
11:14All right, where do you live?
11:16Phoenix.
11:17Oh, damn.
11:17Okay, that's, Arizona's important.
11:19No, no, Arizona's important.
11:20Because if you said, like, New York, I'd be like, rah.
11:23But if you say you're feeling it and it's in Phoenix, okay, okay.
11:26Because Kamala Harris is not going to be easy.
11:29I hope everyone understands that.
11:30You know, America has not shown itself to have a propensity to voting for new things.
11:36It really has not.
11:38And this is a very new, very, very new.
11:41You know, because Kamala Harris is a woman.
11:45Yes.
11:46And she's black.
11:49And Indian.
11:50Yeah.
11:54Now you realize Obama was level one.
12:03America was so proud of itself.
12:06Thought it had clocked the game.
12:08That was the easiest level in the game.
12:11It was like Mario Brothers level one.
12:14It was like, let's do this thing.
