Hey, everybody, we got a great one today, you know, for a change, and you know it's one of

our few great ones, because it's a best of. Heather Cox Richardson on her bestseller

Democracy Awakening Notes on the State of Democracy. It's truly a great one, not like George

Stephanopoulos' interview with President Biden. Is it me or is there something off with

Stephanopoulos? No, no, no, I meant President Biden. Toward the end, Stephanopoulos asked Biden how he'd feel if he lost to Trump,

and Biden said something to the fact that he'd be okay with it if he'd known he'd done his best.

No, no, no. Look, there are reporters who have met with people who have been with Biden have said on the

condition of anonymity that these lapses, these lapses were getting more frequent and more pronounced.

Now, Biden denied that with Stephanopoulos, but it's clear that, well, that he wasn't being

completely honest during the interview.

For example, very early on, Stephanopoulos asked Biden if he'd watched the debate and Biden said,

quote, I don't think I did, no.

I don't think I did.

I think he'd be pretty sure if he'd watch that thing or not.

I don't think I did no.

I don't want to pile on.

Biden's first term has been remarkably successful in terms of achievement,

the largest infrastructure package since Eisenhower,

nearly $400 billion investment

in addressing climate change, the chips bill, other stuff I can't remember. I'm getting these

lapses too, and I'm only 73. The point is he's 81, and these lapses are getting more frequent and more pronounced.

There is another debate in September.
