Thank you for coming back, everybody.

For more next up, I'm Mark Halperin, editor-in-chief of Two-Way.

Very glad to have you here and very excited about our conversation today.

One of my close friends, Joe Scarborough and I, who have known each other a long time and talk regularly people who work in politics and in media are regularly surrounded by people in their

lives who they talk to on a regular basis Joe and I talk and communicate quite a bit and we talk

about sports we talk about music we talk about our families we talk about all sorts of stuff

but one topic that

we've talked about now for seven or eight years is Joe Biden and his status of his mental

acuity. And we have honest conversations about it. We're not dogmatic. We don't say it's weekend

at Bernies and Barack Obama was secretly running the government. And we

don't say that everything's fine with Joe Biden. What we do is agree or disagree by following the data.

And I'm super excited for you to be able to hear the kind of conversation that Joe and I have regularly.

Normally it's not on video and audio recorded. So I'm looking forward to sharing that with you, looking forward

for you to hear the kind of conversation Joe and I have had. And it's on a topic that is very

timely right now because, of course, although Donald Trump is president, Joe Biden this week,

again, is very much in the news. I'll say, again, for Democrats and the media to have the credibility

to hold Donald Trump accountable, there has to be a reckoning about what's happened. And the

through line is the question of how Joe Biden has been covered. I will continue to aggressively

cover Donald Trump and his administration, and I'll continue to say what is obviously the

case, which is Donald Trump frequently does not tell the truth.

I think the reason why the table needs to be set here is because I think one of the biggest mistakes,

maybe the biggest through line of all for the way Bidens have been covered, is the Bidens, it is regularly said, are good family.
