The Joe Rogan experience.
Joe Biden owns Come On Man now.
That is true.
He really does. Come on, man.
Crystal was just showing me a video that he flipped out at some reporter today.
Did you see this? He's at this summit with Putin, and Biden lost his shit.
He was asked a question that he didn't like. He turned around and started
yelling.
No.
Yeah, no. He was very cranky, cranky old man status in this.
Dude, he's...
I think it's from Fox News, Jamie, if you want to show Joe that.
He's legitimately falling apart, and it's really sad.
You know what's really weird, though, is the media's...
First of all, the left-wing media completely ignoring how odd it is the way he
behaves.
Like, the one nine-year-old girl that was sitting there with her legs crossed,
like, look at her over there, look at her, like a 19-year-old girl with her
legs crossed.
Like, what the fuck are you saying? Like, what is that?
So, there's...
Hold on, I'm sorry, go ahead.
But then they'll, like, pretend things are happening that aren't.
Like, Glenn Greenwald called it out today on Twitter.
I was reading his Twitter feed, some guy was talking about how Putin and Biden
shook hands,
and then how Putin looked away, and then Biden's looking him in the eyes,
as if he's trying to say that, in any way, Putin is scared of Joe Biden,
that Joe Biden is, like, dominating Putin.
Like, what if bizarre...
Like, and Glenn described it perfectly.
Like, go to Glenn Greenwald's Twitter, because it's so strange,
because they do this thing where these world leaders,
they shake hands and they look at the camera,
and they shake hands and look at the press.
And so, in that moment, Biden had forgotten to look at the press.
And he's making it seem like Biden's staring him down.
He's showing him what a real man's.
Like, it's like a bizarre fantasy.
Like, almost like a pro-wrestling thing.
Like, you know that you can't possibly believe what you're saying is true.
That Putin, who's a fucking straight-up killer, literally,
and a judo black belt,
who's the fucking head of the Soviet Union, well, whatever, Russia.
For the Soviet Union, Russia, yeah.
Forever.
And probably won't be until he dies.
Killed a gang of people.
Killed a bunch of people who don't like him.
Killed a bunch of people who talk shit about him.
Made journalists disappear, allegedly.
Allegedly, all those things I said, allegedly.
Like, oh, there's the handshake one, okay.
Like, they look at each other, shaking the eye,
and then Putin looks away to the press.
Oh, they're making something out of that.
Punching, look at this, put a look at this.
Scroll up, please.
Yeah, look at the way he said it.
Scroll, no, no, where you had it, so I could see it.
Just, no worries.
Biden looked Putin in the eye.
Putin immediately looked away.
What?
But go to Greenwald's,
because the way he covered it is hilarious.
The way Greenwald made fun of him.
Well, if you go, click show this thread.
So, scroll down there.
Scroll, right there.
Nope, back.
Right there.
The obsession over who squeezed whose hands hardest.
Who led, who, I meant, I guess he meant let go.
Who let go first of the grip.
Whose body language shows masculine authority.
And who shows submission.
It's fucking demented.
A bunch of liberal professionals not allowed to speak this way except here.
So true.
That's exactly what it is.
He said, Joe Biden can barely complete a sentence.
Half the time he drifts off in the middle of his words.
He's constantly bowing his head and muttering about how he'll get in trouble if
he continues.
Nobody is fucking afraid of him.
Stop feeding liberal hordes this warped pablum.
Pablum.
That's a weird word.
Pablum?
You ever use that word, Jamie?
Pablum's a good word.
So it's interesting because this is why people hate the media, right?
Everybody feels like they're arguing more from a narrative than they are just
sort of objectively
describing what's happening.
And with Biden, it's particularly weird because early on in the Democratic
primary, when the
media was convinced it's not going to be Biden.
It's going to be Pete Buttigieg or it's going to be Kamala Harris or it's going
to be, you
know, whoever, fill in the blank with whoever imploded and was terrible.
They actually were open and honest about the fact, for example, that Joe Biden's
sort of
sundowning and he's not all there and he can't really complete full sentences.
And so they actually were the ones who brought it up in debates with him, for
example.
Julian Castro very famously was like, do you even know what you just said like
five seconds
ago?
This was a big moment in the debate.
And so the media would openly talk about, I don't know if Joe's all there
anymore.
But the second that he got the nomination, they stopped.
Nobody's allowed to say it.
And if you say it, you're a right winger.
Exactly.
Even though, you know, I was the biggest Bernie supporter out there and I was
like, here's
a compilation of Joe Biden clearly having some mental issues.
And so it was just incredibly dishonest.
And to your point on Putin and Russia, the narrative that they're using for
Biden is he's
tough, he's standing up to him.
It was the exact opposite for Trump, where they were saying, oh, he's Vladimir
Putin's
puppet, you know, and they're actually incorrect for both of those things.
So in terms of what Trump was doing, Trump bombed Syria, who's Russia's top
ally.
Trump rejected this pipeline called the Nord Stream Pipeline, which would have
greatly helped
Russia.
Trump armed Ukrainian rebels on the ground who are fighting Russia.
Trump did a NATO buildup on Russia's border.
Now, I don't agree with those policies, but those policies are incredibly hawkish
and raise
tensions with Russia.
Now, in the case of Biden, Biden actually just approved the Nord Stream 2
pipeline, which
is a pipeline that's going to greatly help Russia because it makes it so that
Russian oil and
gas is going to be used in Germany now.
And so that's a very that's a very peaceful move.
That's not hawkish.
That's not raising tensions.
So he's basically giving Putin something that Putin wants, which, again, I
actually agree
with that.
I see no problem with the pipeline, but they're framing it as if like, but Joe
Biden, he's
so weak and and he's, you know, Vladimir Putin or excuse me, Joe Biden is so
strong and he's
dominating Vladimir Putin.
Yeah, I don't understand why they think that they can do that and that people
won't be more
hesitant to believe the news.
Dude, you would be surprised at unfortunately some of this stuff lands.
There is a backlash to it, but some of this stuff lands.
I saw a great Pew poll the other day when it came to Donald Trump, it was like
over 70%
of the time they talked about him.
They would talk about his like character and leadership qualities or lack thereof.
Yeah.
And so when that's how you're talking about the person, you can say whatever
the fuck you
want.
What does that even mean?
Let me talk about this person's character.
It's subjective.
Somebody could say, I think he's got great character.
Somebody could say, I think he's got terrible character.
So it was always out of the realm of policy.
Right.
And then that same poll, it was like 60 or 65% of the time when they talked
about Biden,
they talked about policy.
So there was this huge dichotomy in how they discussed the presidents and
obviously the
ones who they liked, they'd go a little softer on when it came to Trump and
they despised
him.
They would talk about, and the crazy thing, the thing that drives me crazy, Joe,
is that
there are a lot of ways to go after Trump that are actually very intelligent
that I would
agree with.
When you stick to policy, I disagree with him on almost everything when it
comes to policy,
but they didn't do that.
Right.
It was all about, you know, he's a bad person.
Yeah.
Character assassination all day long, which is gross.
Do you think that Biden is making actual decisions?
That's a good question.
I don't think I would ever say that about any other president.
Oh, yeah.
Other than Trump.
Some of the Trump stuff, I was like, I wonder how much he pawns off on the
generals.
Well, W. Bush was also an idiot too.
But we all knew that Dick Cheney was kind of-
He was pulling the puppet strings, yeah.
So in the case of Biden, I think it's 50-50.
I think some of the stuff he probably makes and some of the stuff he doesn't.
I mean, he clearly is having struggles mentally and he's getting very old, and
I think everybody
around him knows that.
But a lot of the big decisions, I'm sure they have to land on his desk.
And what did they do for him during the debates with Trump when he was sharp?
The one debate.
They had to, and I said this too with the Bernie debate as well.
I really, and this is all speculation, I just want everybody to know.
I have no facts on this, I'm talking out of my ass.
But yeah, I think he was on some sort of upper that allowed him to be sharp.
I feel like it had to be more than that.
So you think it's some like anti-psychotic or-
But he was in the groove, like he acted like a normal person.
Well, when he was younger, he actually, again, I don't agree with him
politically, I think
he's a terrible corporatist, but he was sharp in terms of debating.
There was that debate with Paul Ryan in 2012, you remember that?
He made Paul Ryan look like a little baby.
Oh really?
Oh yeah, the 2012 VP debate.
It was amazing.
You're such a politics fan.
You talk about debates like some people talk about playoff games.
And guess what?
I watch them like that too.
I got my popcorn, I got Twitter up, I'm live tweeting them, I get all excited
and into it.
