I'm Michelle Goldberg.

I'm Ross Douthett.

I'm David Lee and Hart.

And this is the argument.

This week, is it okay to talk about Joe Biden's age?

I remember seeing Joe Biden giving this kind of barn burner speech against Trump,

and he's just not that person anymore.

Then, we talk cancel culture, the phenomenon of boycotting famous people who've behaved bad with.

It gets to a much larger question, which is, what are the moral and ideological norms

for artists and for society right now?

And finally, a recommendation.

The strange thing about this book is that it is ultimately uplifting.

Joe Biden would be the oldest American president to take office, older than Ronald Reagan or Donald

Trump.

And Biden's age has become a sensitive subject in the Democratic campaign.

He's 76 years old, and there have definitely been times in the campaign when he has not

looked sharp.

But, what do you do?

Poor kids are just as bright and just as tall as white kids.

Welfly kids, black kids, Asian kids.

Play the radio.

Make sure the television, excuse me, make sure you have the record player on it tonight.
