Summary

Journalist and historian Chris Whipple, author of the new book “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History,” talks about how the Democratic Party, the Biden campaign and the candidate himself decided to ignore the reality of Biden’s mental acuity and insist on running against Trump until it was too late — and handing the White House to the Republican in the process.
PLUS:  The latest on Godzilla vs. King Kong.  And if you think only Biden had the cognitive problems, you’re not paying attention.
Music in this episode:
I Started a Joke by the Bee Gees
I’m Alright by Kenny Loggins
