Summary
Is Joe Biden your president? Was Donald Trump? Whatever your political outlook, bad leadership is a crisis. Shakespeare's Richard II is one of the West's most profound meditations on what happens when a human leader doesn't live up to his country's divine mandate.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome to Young Heretics, where today we are talking about the question, |
| 0:05.6 | is Joe Biden my president? |
| 0:08.8 | And actually, I want to talk about a larger question than just is Joe Biden my president, |
| 0:17.2 | because I think that a lot of my listeners lean conservative, but actually one of the things |

| 1:06.8 | I've expressed my views on that many times in this show. |

| 1:11.6 | So I'm really just talking about like he's not my president because he's such a adult |
| 1:14.4 | or because he's so mentally unfit, right? |
