DeepSummary
This episode features Jimmy Dore and Kurt Metzger discussing the media's portrayal of Joe Biden's cognitive abilities. They criticize outlets like MSNBC and CNN for repeatedly claiming Biden is "sharp as a tack" despite his obvious mental decline. Clips are played of pundits lauding Biden's acuity before his disastrous debate performance against Trump, which they then had to walk back.
The hosts highlight the hypocrisy of the media accusing Trump of being a liar while themselves perpetuating the "biggest lie in politics" - that Biden is not demented. They mock Democrats like Obama and Pelosi for continuing to insist Biden is mentally fit. A new CBS poll showing 72% of voters question Biden's cognitive health is cited.
Towards the end, a brief segment covers the recent Supreme Court ruling granting Trump immunity from prosecution over his 2020 election interference case. The hosts deride this as unsurprising given past immunity granted to presidents. They also touch on Biden's past stances like opposing gay marriage and pushing the 1994 crime bill.
