Welcome to the Theory to Action podcast, where we examine the timeless treasures of wisdom from the great books in less time, to help you take action immediately and ultimately to create and lead a flourishing life.

00:00:20.807 --> 00:00:26.234
Now here's your host, david Kaiser flourishing life.

00:00:26.314 --> 00:00:28.059
Now here's your host, david Kaiser.

00:00:28.059 --> 00:00:35.421
Hello, I am David, and welcome back to another Mojo Minute.

00:00:35.421 --> 00:01:01.771
As is our custom, let's begin with a quote from two of America's most respected journalists an unflinching and explosive reckoning with one of the most fateful decisions in American political history Joe Biden's run for re-election despite evidence of his serious decline, amid desperate efforts to hide the extent of that deterioration.

00:01:01.771 --> 00:01:08.141
In Greek tragedy, the protagonist's effort to avoid his fate is what seals his fate.

00:01:08.141 --> 00:01:13.831
In 2024, american politics became a Greek tragedy.

00:01:13.831 --> 00:01:25.114
Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from the second Trump presidential term.

00:01:25.114 --> 00:01:33.274
He, his family and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again.

00:01:33.274 --> 00:01:40.013
They lied to themselves, allies and the public about his condition and his limitations.

00:01:40.013 --> 00:01:50.415
At his debate with Trump on June 27, 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed to the world.

00:01:50.415 --> 00:01:53.248
It was shocking and upsetting.

00:01:53.248 --> 00:02:03.358
Now the full unsettling truth is being told for the first time time.

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:11.234
Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson take us behind closed doors and into private Police.

00:02:11.234 --> 00:02:17.510
Police, hold on, hold on.

00:02:17.510 --> 00:02:31.373
What in the world Is this the same Jake Tapper who actually covered up and carried water for four long years for Joe Biden as president.

00:02:31.373 --> 00:02:35.228
The same Jake Tapper, cnn.

00:02:35.228 --> 00:02:37.945
Jake Tapper right that, jake Tapper?

00:02:37.945 --> 00:03:02.895
I am sorry folks, but I remember numerous instances where TapTap appeared to downplay and deflect concerns about Joe Biden's cognitive health, night after night after night, especially during the 2020 election campaign.

00:03:02.895 --> 00:03:22.931
For example, in a 2020 CNN interview with Laura Trump, tapper suggested Biden's struggles on the campaign trail or, I'm sorry, trump suggested Biden's struggles on the campaign trail indicated a severe cognitive decline.

00:03:22.931 --> 00:03:37.074
Tapper forcefully pushes back, accusing her of mocking Biden's well-documented stutter and questioning her qualifications to make such an assessment.

00:03:37.074 --> 00:03:46.082
He framed the discussion as a defense of Biden's lifelong speech impediment, rather than engaging with the broader concerns about Biden's mental sharpness.

00:03:46.082 --> 00:04:05.913
Additionally, tapper repeatedly promoted articles like the one from the Atlantic that highlighted Biden's stutter as an exclamation for his verbal stumbles, suggesting any type of skepticism of declined narratives was not warranted.

00:04:05.913 --> 00:04:10.417
I mean holy smokes.

00:04:12.181 --> 00:04:36.000
So this jerk, this horrific journalist, news anchor for CNN, jake Tapper he has indeed written a new book titled Original Sin President Biden's Decline, its Cover-Up and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, and it's co-authored with the Axios reporter, alex Thompson.

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:47.675
I mean the gall, the hubris, the absolute disregard for any amount of shame, any amount of shame.

00:04:47.675 --> 00:04:53.831
Jake Tapper, of all people, is going to write the first book on the Biden mental health decline.

00:04:53.831 --> 00:05:01.182
Man, oh man, a Chevy, this is so rich.

00:05:01.182 --> 00:05:06.473
What does Amazon say about this book?

00:05:06.473 --> 00:05:15.939
The book slated for publication on May 20, 2025 by Penguin Press.

00:05:15.939 --> 00:05:18.370
Oh, here we go.

00:05:20.185 --> 00:05:31.901
This book promises to explore what the authors describe as a concerted effort to conceal Joe Biden's cognitive decline during his presidency and his fateful decision to seek re-election in 2024.

00:05:31.901 --> 00:05:43.915
Yes, jake, how do you actually want to write the book about the cover-up when you were at the center of the very cover-up man?

00:05:43.915 --> 00:05:49.747
Amazon says.

00:05:49.747 --> 00:06:05.399
Based on 200 interviews with White House insiders, democratic leaders and others, it positions itself as an expose of the serious decline the Tapper and Thompson argue was evident, yet obscured by Biden, his family and his inner circle.

00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:11.451
Oh, holy smokes, this is just rich.

00:06:11.451 --> 00:06:23.975
This is just all the gall, the hubris, oh, and the Axios reporter is helping him with the book.

00:06:23.975 --> 00:06:29.156
I'm sure the truth is going to be revealed now that we have the Axios reporter chiming in.

00:06:30.045 --> 00:06:32.494
Folks, honestly, we love good books.

00:06:32.494 --> 00:06:44.896
We have been waiting for the great books to be written about this awful, this dreadful, this last four years of the worst president in modern American history.

00:06:44.896 --> 00:06:46.437
But we will not.

00:06:46.437 --> 00:06:52.908
We cannot subject you guys to just a bunch of lies and rubbish and garbage.

00:06:52.908 --> 00:06:59.925
From one of the most corrupt reporters in the business, I mean holy smokes.

00:06:59.925 --> 00:07:03.872
Jay Tapper was borderline, if not all the way.

00:07:03.872 --> 00:07:07.139
Msnbc, I mean out there.

00:07:07.139 --> 00:07:12.660
Msnbc, I mean out there.

00:07:12.660 --> 00:07:32.326
Let's go back to the rubbish that this book is talking about, from Amazon, revealing how big the problem was and how many people knew about it, from the White House staffers at the highest to the lowest levels, to the leaders of Congress, the cabinet, from governors to donors to Hollywood players.

00:07:32.326 --> 00:07:33.952
The truth is finally being told.

00:07:33.952 --> 00:07:37.891
You guys didn't tell us that for four years.

00:07:37.891 --> 00:07:39.956
You denied it every time we asked about it.

00:07:42.687 --> 00:07:52.408
What you will learn makes President Biden's decision to run for re-election seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional and reckless.

00:07:52.408 --> 00:08:06.259
A desperate bet that went bust in part of the larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents, man gosh.

00:08:06.259 --> 00:08:11.535
The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues.

00:08:11.535 --> 00:08:12.396
You bet it does.

00:08:12.396 --> 00:08:18.557
Raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that will continue for decades.

00:08:18.557 --> 00:08:23.750
Oh, I'm gagging Vomit in my mouth.

00:08:23.750 --> 00:08:24.875
This is incredible.

00:08:24.875 --> 00:08:27.031
The nerve of these folks.

00:08:27.031 --> 00:08:28.925
I mean you just got to be kidding me.

00:08:28.925 --> 00:08:36.817
Oh, listen to this, listen to this Amazon's page.

00:08:36.817 --> 00:08:38.476
The irony is biting.

00:08:38.476 --> 00:08:53.095
In the name of defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy, biden and his inner circle ensured it, tossing aside his implicit promise to serve only for one term, denying the existence of health issues.

00:08:53.095 --> 00:08:54.900
The nation had been watching for years.

00:08:54.900 --> 00:09:00.272
Yes, dooming the Democrats to defeat the decision to run again.

00:09:00.292 --> 00:09:11.783
The original sin of this president led to a campaign of denial and gaslighting, leading directly to Donald Trump's return to power, and all that has happened as a consequence.

00:09:11.783 --> 00:09:17.001
Rarely does hubris meet nemesis more explosively.

00:09:17.001 --> 00:09:22.495
Wherever you stand on the political spectrum, original sin is essential.

00:09:22.495 --> 00:09:26.278
Reading my Lord, have mercy.

00:09:26.278 --> 00:09:31.640
These people would lie directly to Christ himself.

00:09:31.640 --> 00:09:37.522
This is just over the top, beyond the pale.

00:09:37.522 --> 00:09:40.197
This begs way too much.

00:09:40.197 --> 00:09:58.927
To boil all this down, jake Tapper is writing a book on the decline of the president that he once dismissed and kept dismissing for four years as a conspiracy or a mischaracterization.

00:09:58.927 --> 00:10:01.316
This is beyond hypocritical.

00:10:01.316 --> 00:10:06.938
The word hypocritical does not capture what was being done for four years.

00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:12.953
Folks, this is not Woodrow Wilson, 18 months, his wife, the husband.

00:10:12.953 --> 00:10:16.217
Woodrow Wilson gets a stroke, has a stroke.

00:10:16.217 --> 00:10:19.662
Terrible, the wife has a stroke.

00:10:19.662 --> 00:10:20.903
Terrible, the wife concerned.

00:10:20.903 --> 00:10:23.245
World War, I not sure what to do.

00:10:23.245 --> 00:10:31.475
Covers it up, essentially runs the presidency for the last 18 months.

00:10:31.475 --> 00:10:33.743
Doesn't let anybody come in and see the president and the White House press corps at the time.

00:10:33.743 --> 00:10:34.986
They don't say anything.

00:10:34.986 --> 00:10:37.937
Everybody's in on the cover-up 18 months.

00:10:37.937 --> 00:10:39.860
Terrible shouldn't have ever happened.

00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:42.066
Everybody's in on the cover-up 18 months.

00:10:42.066 --> 00:10:43.590
Terrible should have never happened.

00:10:43.590 --> 00:10:54.794
Folks, this is four years in the 21st century, with spotlights and people asking repeated questions day after day after day.

00:10:54.815 --> 00:10:59.780
Tapper was one of the main guys participating in the media cover-up.

00:10:59.780 --> 00:11:11.073
Never pressed Biden on his fitness to only then pivot when it became undeniable.

00:11:11.073 --> 00:11:17.340
After the June 2024 debate, tapper, I think, co-moderated that.

00:11:17.340 --> 00:11:21.791
Certainly.

00:11:21.791 --> 00:11:29.945
That debate was the turning point preceded Biden's exit from the race because everybody watched it.

00:11:29.945 --> 00:11:37.578
So that's when Jake effectively tapped out.

00:11:37.649 --> 00:11:40.418
But my gosh, the whole world was lighting up social media.

00:11:40.418 --> 00:11:43.759
That night, every social media platform in the world was lit up.

00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:50.221
Everybody, including me, was telling everybody get Biden off the stage.

00:11:50.221 --> 00:11:55.503
This is cruelty to an old person, let alone someone trying to run for president of the United States.

00:11:55.503 --> 00:11:59.014
I mean, it's just.

00:11:59.014 --> 00:12:02.081
This is disgusting.

00:12:02.081 --> 00:12:07.221
Now it's really funny that the book is titled Original Sin.

00:12:07.221 --> 00:12:10.220
I think we need to rename the book as Propaganda Press.

00:12:10.220 --> 00:12:12.677
The Propaganda Press is Sin.

00:12:12.677 --> 00:12:14.676
That's the real story.

00:12:15.330 --> 00:12:42.794
We hope someone will write the real story, write the real book that has a hell of a lot more integrity than Jake Tapper, because there was a deliberate cover-up of Joe Biden's lack of mental fitness, going all the way back to the 2020 campaign, when he was kept in the basement, and then for the four long years of his whole presidency, when we heard nothing.

00:12:42.794 --> 00:12:45.142
But he's fine, don't ask anything.

00:12:45.142 --> 00:12:47.979
There's no problem here, nothing to see here.

00:12:47.979 --> 00:12:50.336
You guys are just hateful people.

00:12:50.336 --> 00:12:52.258
You guys on the right are just hateful people.

00:12:52.258 --> 00:12:56.000
Tapper absolutely contributed to that cover-up.

00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:57.154
He was at the center of it.

00:13:00.451 --> 00:13:12.553
So in today's Mojo Minute, we will not be covering bogus rewriting of history that lies to the American people in these books that, evidently, are going to start coming out.

00:13:12.553 --> 00:13:13.918
We're going to vet them all.

00:13:13.918 --> 00:13:26.655
We will wait on the true and accurate stories from real journalists who have a sense of accountability to get their facts straight, who want to write the truth.

00:13:26.655 --> 00:13:30.269
Folks, there's a lot of rubbish out there.

00:13:30.269 --> 00:13:36.051
There's a lot of lies, a lot of lies pressed into book format, and we're going to weed them all out.

00:13:36.051 --> 00:13:39.638
We're going to weed out the good from the bad Folks.

00:13:39.638 --> 00:13:40.600
This one's bad.

00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:41.782
This one stinks.

00:13:41.782 --> 00:13:43.711
This is disgusting.

00:13:43.711 --> 00:13:56.418
Jake Tapper is not to be trusted, and with that we're tapping out, but as always, we're encouraging you to keep fighting the good fight.

00:14:01.350 --> 00:14:02.576
