Tucker Carlson Reacts to Trump vs. Biden Debate, Exposes Media Cover-Up of Biden’s Dementia

Renowned conservative commentator Tucker Carlson didn’t hold back in his scathing critique of the mainstream media and President Joe Biden during a packed event at Sydney’s International Convention Centre. Speaking to a crowd of 4,000 enthusiastic fans, Carlson boldly claimed that the media has been concealing the truth about President Biden’s cognitive decline.

Carlson accused the mainstream media, particularly CNN, of knowingly hiding Biden’s dementia from the public. “Democratic operatives posing as journalists” were his choice words for the reporters who, according to him, have been complicit in this cover-up. He lambasted their feigned shock at Biden’s recent debate performance, which many critics have called a clear display of his cognitive struggles.

“But for the media today to be like, wow, we just got the diagnosis, this is shocking, he can’t run for president,” Carlson said on Friday, highlighting the disingenuous nature of their surprise. He asserted that either the media is “really stupid … or they’re liars, they’re truly dishonest, they’re hiding the obvious from you.”

Carlson’s comments resonate with a growing sentiment among conservatives and independent observers who have long questioned Biden’s fitness for office. His debate performance has intensified these concerns, leading many to believe that the media has been deliberately shielding the public from the truth.

Biden’s Family Has Rendered Their Decision About Joe’s 2024 Prospects

Not that I was expecting Joe Biden to drop out, but the chatter was becoming deafening among liberal circles. Still, the campaign is in a state of chaos over the president’s disastrous debate, sending unhinged fundraising emails that will indeed create more headaches among Democrats. The day’s message is that Biden is the nominee, and you can do nothing about it. Also, share these trite and laughably false talking points to keep Joe alive politically in 2024.

After Biden’s catastrophic debate against Trump, the president met with his family at Camp David to discuss the way forward. Joe is staying, but one family member was quite adamant that the president does not kowtow to outside pressure and drop out. And this individual wasn’t Jill (via NYT):

President Biden’s family is urging him to stay in the race and keep fighting despite last week’s disastrous debate performance, even as some members of his clan privately expressed exasperation at how he was prepared for the event by his staff, people close to the situation said on Sunday.

Mr. Biden huddled with his wife, children and grandchildren at Camp David while he tried to figure out how to tamp down Democratic anxiety. While his relatives are acutely aware of how poorly he did against former President Donald J. Trump, they argued that he could still show the country that he is capable of serving for another four years.

Mr. Biden has also been soliciting ideas from advisers about how to proceed, and his staff has been discussing whether he should hold a news conference or sit for interviews to defend himself and change the narrative, but nothing has been decided yet. Aides were burning phone lines over the weekend to prevent major elected officials and financial supporters from abandoning him.

One of the strongest voices imploring Mr. Biden to resist pressure to drop out was his son Hunter Biden, whom the president has long leaned on for advice, said one of the people informed about the discussions, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity to share internal deliberations. Hunter Biden wants Americans to see the version of his father that he knows — scrappy and in command of the facts — rather than the stumbling, aging president Americans saw on Thursday night.

Does Joe Biden Really Think People Will Believe His New Claim?

. . .During a fundraiser in New Jersey on Saturday, Biden claimed that he won over more undecided voters than former President Donald Trump post his disastrous debate performance.

Biden insisted that the malfunctions he suffered during the 90-minute gaffe-filled debate actually impressed undecided voters rather than deter them from voting for him. . .

“Research during the debate shows us converting more undecided voters than Trump did, in large part because of his conduct on Jan. 6,” Biden told the crowd. “People remember the bad things during his presidency.”

The 81-year-old’s bad debate night prompted the country, including Democrats, to call on Biden to drop out of the race, citing his old age and mental acuity.

First Lady Jill Biden also tried to fool the crowd into thinking her husband was having just one bad night despite him having countless public malfunctions in the past. (Read more from “Does Joe Biden Really Think People Will Believe His New Claim?” HERE)

Obama Calls Biden’s Catastrophic Debate Performance ‘Bad,’ Urges Voters to Back Prez as He Faces Calls to Step Down

Former President Barack Obama admitted that Joe Biden’s debate performance Thursday night was “bad” — but still urged voters to back his former veep over Donald Trump.

“Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know,” Obama, 62, wrote on X Friday afternoon, referring to his infamous lackluster debate against Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in 2012.

Biden, 81, left much to be desired during Thursday night’s war of words, during which he appeared to freeze at several points and was often mumbling and tripping over phrases.

“But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself,” Obama insisted.

“Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit.

New Details Emerge About Biden’s Mental State — and the Steps Staffers Take to Shield the ‘10am to 4pm President’

More questions about President Biden’s cognitive state are emerging as a new poll showed a jaw-dropping 72% of registered voters do not believe he is mentally fit for the job.

While many Democrats were left flabbergasted and sent into a tailspin by Biden’s debate debacle last week, the 81-year-old president’s cognitive slips have been nothing new to his inner circle.

White House aides have been meticulously working behind the scenes throughout his presidency to minimize his exposure to situations where his cognitive slip-ups could flare up in public and to adapt the day-to-day of the presidency to the needs of an octogenarian.

The commander-in-chief is seen as prone to absent-minded gaffes and fatigue outside of six hours a day — between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. — and while traveling abroad, Axios said in a new report.

From shorter stairs when boarding Air Force One to guiding him on jaunts over concerns about his gait and proclivity for appearing lost, his team has reportedly been forced to step up its efforts over time to shield him more and more.

The Debate Revealed That Any President Voters Elect Doesn’t Really Run the Government

It was a little pathetic to watch Joe Biden on stage last night mumble so incoherently that nobody could doubt he’s simply a figurehead for leader of the free world. It raises the thought: While he’s been presented as president for three and a half years, who has really been executing the powers and duties of the office?

While Donald Trump’s performance showed him in full command of his will and voice, his own four years in office also pointed in a similar direction. It wasn’t because he was merely a prop for president, like Joe Biden. It was because Trump’s insistence that he energetically carry out the mandate voters gave him conflicted very visibly with the belief among many in the federal government that, at this point, all presidents are props — even the ones who have full command of their faculties.

Montana radio host Aaron Flint pointed out that replacing Biden with another Democrat will still leave in power the people currently using him like a presidential skin suit. That’s also true, to a large extent, of replacing Biden with Trump.

Now, there is indeed a serious difference between a president with dementia and a president without. Certainly nobody could use Trump like a skin suit. Even staff, pollsters, and advisers can’t micromanage him like they micromanage many politicians. However, because we’ve already had the benefit of a Trump presidency, we can see that even a president as vigorous and defiant as he struggled to truly exercise authority over the people and institutions that, constitutionally speaking, the president commands.

Some of the most egregious examples of this occurred among cabinet-level national security types. Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman under Trump Gen. Mark Milley was one of the worst offenders. Washington Post and New York Times reporters say, according to excerpts from Haley McLean, that Milley deliberately stayed in his position to sabotage voters’ elected commander-in-chief, saying to staffers of Trump, “I’ll just fight him” and “I will fight from the inside.” (Read more from “The Debate Revealed That Any President Voters Elect Doesn’t Really Run the Government” HERE)

Ex-Obama Aides Meltdown Over Biden’s Debate Disaster (VIDEO)

In a shocking display of frustration, the co-hosts of the liberal podcast “Pod Save America” expressed their dismay over President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance during Thursday night’s debate. Former Obama aides Jon Favreau, Tommy Vietor, Dan Pfeiffer, and Jon Lovett did not hold back their harsh criticism, reflecting the growing panic among Democrats regarding Biden’s ability to serve another term.

Jon Favreau, who once served as head speechwriter for former President Barack Obama, described the debate as the worst he had ever seen. “You don’t listen to us to sugarcoat anything, I think it was a fucking disaster,” Favreau lamented. He highlighted Biden’s inability to complete sentences and his raspy voice, calling it a failure on every level.

Tommy Vietor pointed to Biden’s performance as exacerbating concerns about his age and mental capacity. “And I believe that tonight’s performance is not a reflection on the type of president that he is. But it is a very concerning piece of evidence about the kind of candidate he will be in this race,” Vietor explained.

Dan Pfeiffer, another co-host, stressed the importance of Biden’s role in beating Trump, suggesting the president failed to change the dynamic in his favor during the debate. Jon Lovett went further, suggesting it might be time for an open conversation about whether Biden should step aside. “For the same sense of decency, and empathy and patriotism that led Joe Biden to run, I believe this is a moment to at least have a big, open conversation about the best thing he can do for America is to end his presidency as the success it deserves to be,” Lovett said.

The debate performance has intensified worries among Democratic voters regarding Biden’s mental acuity. According to a CBS News/YouGov poll, only 26% believe Biden has the “mental and cognitive health” to serve a second term, compared to 43% for Trump. Similarly, a WSJ poll found only 36% of registered voters believe Biden is “mentally up for the job,” while 49% said the same about Trump. An ABC News poll found that a staggering 86% of voters believe Biden is “too old” to run again.

Staggering 82% Don’t Think Biden Should Still Run for President: Poll

A huge majority of people believe President Biden should drop out of the 2024 race for the White House after Thursday night’s debate debacle, a new Post poll shows.

Eighty-two percent of respondents said the 81-year-old Democrat should not run for re-election in the wake of his disastrous face-off against former President Donald Trump.

In comparison, just 18% said Biden should keep campaigning.

As of Friday morning, a total of 3,340 people had cast their vote in The Post’s poll, which was put out after Biden went head to head with Trump in the first 2024 presidential debate.

The results come after Biden’s raspy and halting attempts to confront his GOP rival on stage sparked fresh calls for the incumbent to consider stepping aside as his party’s nominee — just four months out from the election.

Biden Officials Turn Their Backs on Each Other After Disastrous Debate Performance

Biden officials are pointing fingers at one another after the president suffered a series of malfunctions Thursday night during his first debate against former President Donald Trump.

According to Axios, Biden’s debate was a “DEFCON 1” moment for Democrats— and now his aides are trying to point fingers at one another to blame someone for his train wreck performance.

A person in Biden’s inner circle argued that the 81-year-old president was “over prepared” and should have rested the week leading up to the debate.

Another said Biden relied too much on the details and instead should have focused on having vigor and energy.

“They prepared him for the wrong debate,” a Biden official claimed, while another said, “It’s sad but it also makes me so mad to think of all the smart people lying and trying to make this work.” (Read more from “Biden Officials Turn Their Backs on Each Other After Disastrous Debate Performance” HERE)

Biden Campaign Co-Chair Insists President’s Cognitive Capabilities “As Good as Ever”

In the wake of President Joe Biden’s heavily scrutinized debate performance, Biden Campaign Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) appeared on CNN’s “Situation Room” to defend the president’s mental capabilities. Despite being pressed by host Wolf Blitzer, Coons dodged a direct answer about whether Biden’s debate performance reflects his daily cognitive state, instead maintaining that Biden remains “sharp and engaged.”

During the interview, Blitzer referenced Vice President Kamala Harris’s own evasive responses when questioned about Biden’s debate performance. “Senator, you mentioned Vice President Kamala Harris, she repeatedly, last night, dodged Anderson Cooper’s questions about whether the Biden we saw in the debate is who he is every day. What’s your answer to that? Because you know him well,” Blitzer asked.

Coons sidestepped the question, choosing instead to extol Biden’s general abilities. “I do. And I was just in Europe for a few days where the G7 Summit was held in Italy. Leaders from across Europe who’ve met with him and worked with him, say the same thing that I’ll tell you from working with him and meeting with him, he is sharp and engaged, his cognitive capabilities are as good as ever,” Coons responded.

Despite Coons’s defense, the president’s debate performance has intensified concerns about his cognitive health. Biden’s raspy voice, frequent pauses, and difficulty completing sentences have left many questioning his mental acuity. Polls reflect these worries: a CBS News/YouGov poll found that only 26% of voters believe Biden has the “mental and cognitive health” to serve a second term, and a WSJ poll showed that just 36% of registered voters think Biden is “mentally up for the job.”

Coons’s insistence on Biden’s sharpness comes after two Biden aides attributed his debate struggles to a cold, an excuse not mentioned before the debate. This strategy of deflection, combined with Harris’s and Coons’s evasions, only fuels skepticism about Biden’s fitness for office. Coons’s mention of Biden’s “shuffle” and “softly” spoken nature does little to alleviate these concerns.

Coons attempted to bolster his argument by praising Biden’s leadership and decision-making abilities. “His abilities for leadership, for surrounding himself with outstanding people, and making the right choice for the American people, that is undimmed. And, frankly, his record is one of the strongest of any president in my lifetime,” he claimed. However, this praise contrasts sharply with the visible struggles Biden displayed during the debate.
