0:00.0 | Former President Joe Biden announced that he has prostate cancer and instead, everybody sent out condolences. |
0:08.2 | Everyone was very, you know, sad that it had happened and wanted to wish the former president their best. |
0:16.6 | Okay. |
0:17.9 | But, you know, the Trump administration doesn't appear to be capable of doing that at all. |
0:24.5 | Well, initially it seemed that way. But then, you know, with that, with the outreach and I'm so sorry and we wish him the best, of course, comes an insult after that. |
0:35.4 | Case in point. The vice president, the current vice president of |
0:39.1 | the United States right now, J.D. Vance, listen. Speaking of Joe Biden, sir, do you have any thoughts |
0:44.6 | on his diagnosis? Yeah, look, I mean, first of all, of course, we wish the best for the former |
0:50.3 | president's health. And, you know, it sounds pretty serious, but hopefully he makes |

1:23.3 | American people. And that's not politics. That's not because I disagreed with him on policy. |
1:28.0 | That's because I don't think that he was in good enough health. In some ways, I blame him less |
1:32.5 | than I blame the people around him. And why didn't the American people have a better sense |
1:35.9 | of his health picture? Why didn't the American people have more accurate information about what he was |
1:40.4 | actually dealing with? This is serious stuff. And this is the guy who carries around the nuclear football for the world's largest nuclear arsenal. |
1:47.5 | This is not child's play. |
1:49.2 | And we can pray for good health, but also recognize that if you're not in good enough health to do the job, you shouldn't be doing the job. |
