Hi dear listeners, this is Kate Riga. I'm here to make a quick pitch that you consider becoming a TPM Prime member.

TPM has used the member model for over a decade now and our loyal members are the only reason we've been able to weather the turbulence of the media landscape

and avoid the fate that has befallen so many other independent outlets.

For $70, you get no paywall, fewer ads, access to the Hive Member Forum, a Members Only newsletter, and more.

For $140 a year, you get all of that, plus no ads at all.

Without our members, there is no podcast, not to mention that I'm out of a job.

Thank you so much for listening and supporting us.

We couldn't do it without you. Oh, Hi this is the Josh Marshall podcast featuring Kate Rika.

Today we're going to talk a bit about next week's debate,

but we are going to start off talking about

what seems like a new proliferation of, they're not, we were just talking about this before the episode started, they're not deep fake videos, which at least I understand as, know an AI video editing created video of

something that did not happen. What we're talking about in this case are these we've seen a a rush of Biden you know

Biden incoherent Biden frozen videos where in most cases it's like zoomed in or you take a little clip out of it

and you you know miss the context so you know is this is this a fake? Is it a, you know, deceptively edited whatever video? I know that one of these was, you know, they had the recent commemoration in Normandy France, I guess, a week ago, and there was a big one

circulating that seemed to show the heads of state all standing at attention looking at you know flags or perhaps a review

of troops or something like this and suddenly Biden just sort of turns around and

walks in the other direction.

So it seems like kind of like a senior moment or something like that.

But what they don't show you is that there's these paratroopers coming down

behind them and he hears them so he turns around and walks over towards the paratroopers, right?

So there's a few different things to talk about here.

Obviously this is part of the, oh man it's part of so many different things. It's part of the Biden age discourse that we've been at for a long time.
