The media rushed to Joe Biden's defense as he struggles to keep his presidency afloat.

A whistleblower alleging Chinese corruption with the Biden family is hit with criminal charges,

and NATO gathers to discuss Ukraine. And Ben Shapiro, this is the Ben Shapiro show.

Today's show is sponsored by ExpressVPN.

Thousands of my listeners have already secured their network data, join them at ExpressVPN.com slash Ben. So as Joe Biden continues to fall apart, the media are rushing to shore him up. There is nobody really waiting in the wings. I understand there's a bit of a Gavin Newsom boomlet going around. But the fact is that Gavin Newsom, he's not been a very good governor of California. He's extraordinarily vulnerable to a variety of counter charges, including the fact

that he's actually lost population during his tenure as governor. Gretchen Whitmer over in Michigan,

she didn't do a good job during COVID. Who else is in the wings? Kamala Harris,

worst vice president in modern American history, horrible approval ratings.

Pete Buttigieg, who's been so bad as Secretary of Transportation that the paternity leave

was actually the high point of his tenure in that position. So they're kind of Transportation that the paternity leave was actually the high point

of his tenure in that position. So they're kind of stuck with the old man and they know it.

And it's increasingly bad day by day. Yesterday, Joe Biden was visiting the UK in anticipation

of a NATO summit over in Vilnius. And he was forced to rely on cue cards in order to have a basic

conversation with the prime minister of the UK. Oh, the flower is bloomed. Well, Joe, welcome. It's great to have you here. Back and down the street. There is honing Q cards. You've been here a few times before I know, but your first time as president. We're losing those Q-Card. So we're very privileged and fortunate to have you here. Thanks for coming. We've met in San Diego, Belfast, Hiroshima, Washington, here, and couldn't be meeting with a closer friend and a greater ally.

He is no longer with it. He's doing a very, very basic presser with Rishi Sunak, who presumably Joe Biden thinks works at 7-Eleven because Joe Biden, you know, once made mention of the idea that everyone who works at 7-11 was Indian. Yeah, you remember that? You don't because the media obscured it, because they did that with like pretty much everything regarding Biden. Well, that continues to this day. Joe Scarborough has an entire piece over at the Atlantic claiming that everything is hunky-dory that all of the bad feelings Americans have about Joe Biden

and his presidency so far, well, it's because they are misinformed. It is not, it is not the

Democrats who are wrong. It is the kids. The full principal Skinner here, Joe Scarborough says

America is doing it just fine. Quote, as American celebrated the 4th of July by watching

baseball fireworks and Joey Chestnut hammering home, his 16th win in the Nathan's hot dog eating contest, poor Uncle Sam labored through the midsummer celebration, beleaguered and under siege from all sides. News items over the course of the holiday weekend reported Americans were feeling more skeptical of their country's future. Uncle Sam deserves a modern-day Atticus Finch to argue his case before the American people, but he doesn't have one.

But the real problem here is that, of course, we are being too hard on slow Joe Biden.

If only we were just, if we only would recognize that Joe Biden is actually doing an amazing job.

How bad is it to become MSNBC?
