unfairly and it brings up so much to think about. laura and i think it s sad. i think he ruined if he was trying to build his career on being the great likable guy ,which i always saw himim a as kind of blew it in one night and what was really going on there and i can t wait to hear from chris rock and i honestly i ve been amazed at social media because there are a lot of people who are saying, hey, you know what , he actually needs to get in trouble iff this could happen th any other black or anyone else who didn t have privilege and standing, they d beth arrested for assault. it wasn t assault and battery. a it would have been someone that would have been more interesting of jayda goneee up there and done the slap that would have been more theatrical. but we don t want anyone slap at anyone else. cynthia, great toon see t you wy tonight .anyone else. cynthia, great to se and pharmaceutical giant pfizer was forced by a federal judge to release internal docs related to the licensing of
not about a substantive issue. juan: gaffes are not the only issue biden is dealing with. he is facing scrutiny from being off his game while talking about climate change. take a look. tomorrow you are hosting a high dollar fund-raiser hosted by a coal executive. the fact of the matter is we make up 50% of the problem here the rest of the world makes up 85% of the problem. that is one of the things president trump has said about the climate change accord. juan: we have a moment here, jedediah, you look at him on stephen colbert and i think the guy is a very likable. charming, even. i think a lot of people want him to do well and i think he did do well on stephen colbert. but he gets in the town hall and people are like, what is going on? jedediah: i agree he has a likable quality and oddly enough, his gaffes are even likable because he is such a charming guy. i think he is a storyteller. he s not somebody that is terribly committed to facts.
why is anybody dana: why is it all of a sudden a bad idea? juan: one man, one vote. why should my vote mean more if i live somewhere else? it s not radical jesse: you don t believe in a juan: no, i m speaking to your suggestion that barbra streisand is off the ranch for saying this. jim carrey, what did he say? jesse: he said osama bin laden was not as bad as mitch mcconnell. juan: this is the guy you call cocaine mage? i stood up for you, mage! but let s just say, mitch mcconnell has been blocking everything. not only blocking our efforts to stop russian interference in the upcoming election, but he also said he will not do anything unless trump agrees to some steps with regards to background checks, closing private sale loopholes, gun show loopholes.
reverse identity politics. juan: michael, jesse picked up on this thing about his eyes seeming to fill with blood and i think to myself, gosh, somebody had a blood vessel break. jedediah: it happens to every human. juan: it happens to human beings, but now it is like evidence he is too old? what do you think? michael: it feels like he is redlining. like his brain is working so hard, scrambling to get so much information from every hard drive that there are pieces that are just going to go. he is a likable guy, a likable guy, but the democratic party cruise ship has sailed without him. they are all in a liberal, get rid of the combustion engine town. the whole thing, the set up question from colbert. every writer that prepared that and then you ll say, jimmy kimmel. they are all in the back light, please don t mess it up! dana: did he mess it up?
it. it juan: i think jedediah makes a really interesting point from my perspective so i will pe a question to you in those terms. i didn t think he did all that well at the town hall because he comes across as moderate, to use jedediah s word. while people like elizabeth warren, bernie sanders, they come across as passionate, they are selling solutions to climate change, they are invested in this and he comes across like, here is an idea that i m thinking about this and we don t need the details because generally, we are thinking about it. jesse: he can be moderate and also passionate, but he doesn t have that combination beer the guy who asked that question is so scary. if i saw him on the street i would run the other way. his eyes, he had a terrifying vibe about him. put that kid on a list.
