Summary
First, they kick things off with a double-fisted good martini as Biden's planned post-debate comeback flops immediately. His latest media appearances, especially the interview with Stephanopoulos and his call-in comments on Morning Joe, in which he did not even appear on video and was apparently reading from a script, confirm that his debate performance was not a fluke, and he is not, in fact, in the position to make successful public appearances.
Next, they examine the troubling reports coming out from various sources that Biden is so closely managed by his staffers that he has no independence. If this is true, Jim says, then Biden is no longer truly the president: he is only a man waving and pretending to be president while others make the decisions.
Finally, they chuckle at Biden's claim that he should be the presidential candidate because he won the primary, and they point out that the primary was skewed in Biden's favor to begin with. They also weigh the possibility of Democrats invoking the 25th amendment to oust Biden.

| 0:32.0 | Stephanopoulos. how do you think he did? |
| 0:36.0 | I've got to be honest with you, I've been all over the place with this. |
| 0:40.0 | I'm not quite sure what's going on but you know he's going to write a letter what what |
| 0:46.9 | Yeah I suppose you could say one of we have a double-fisted good martini today one being that I |
| 0:55.2 | think Stephanopoulos did at least a pretty good job in the whole 22 minutes that |
| 1:01.1 | Biden was willing to give him I wouldn't mind a little more pushback on some |
| 1:05.2 | of Biden's assertions that he's the guy United Dado and he's the guy who took it to Putin and all that stuff but all in all I think you can't say that that was you know |

| 1:45.3 | sending a letter. |
| 1:47.0 | He's not going to Capitol Hill and making the case himself. |
| 1:51.0 | He's not interacting with people, he called in to Morning Joe, Joe today. |
| 1:57.6 | Morning Jolt is the reliable newsletter, and apparently seemed to be reading from papers. |
