implication for the republic, that is me. anybody can stumble or fall, bu when a president does it, usually scrutiny and ridicule flow. set the narrative of ford as bumbling buffoon. is obvious when hillary clinton was physically dumped into fam, there was no snl sketch or ridiculed that brings us to ove the last two years has done mor falls than jerry lewis. part of the problem is joe biden is suffering from stiff gate and old age. his doctor has admitted as much in an effort to show how vigorous he still is, he affect the skipping routine i call it the biden tract. he does it all the time. it mostly conjures up images of tim conway s little old man. it is the biden trot that got him into trouble at the air force academy yesterday. [cheers and applause] why are they cheer something expect the white house staff to put more guardrails around him in the bathroom at john fete erman s house. every time he goes out, it s going going a look like he s out in line for a d
that they think that age really is a factor in their saying that there saying that he shouldn t be running again and i ve talked to president clinton, this job s report and this bipartisan deal could be the turning point for him. he s probably absent the fall one of the best days he s ever had in his presidency. i want to get to that in a moment, but michael, according to plan, biden and the dnc are not doing any primary debates at all, bought recent news weak poll showed that 70% of biden voters want debates and that was before the epic fall. jfk junior told ferris faulkner today. asking president wide ten to prepare for that debate by, you know, staying in the white house and not really being out in the campaign trail is like asking a prize fighter to prepare for the big bout sit october couch and 5e9ing chick-fil-a.
that big fall stuff right out of your mind. he got right up and continued ooh what he was there to do. he did not there was no need for the doctor to see him as it was related to the fall and he s doing fine. if a doctor didn t see him, then the white house is negligent. he s 80 years old. he could be in splinters. this is nothing more than rank, politics and pride, which apparently comes before and after a fall. joining us now is mark penn, former clinton adviser and pollster and stagwell ceo and michael shellenberger, republican co staff co founder. mike, despite the oval office speech tonight and the talk of unity, what they outlined in a monologue is taking a state capitol on biden. what are the polls telling us? well, the polls tell us a number of things. first they tell us his job rating is in the low 40s. second, that most voters think that he shouldn t be running for president again and
stronghold on minority voters, particularly black voters. we recognize that is extremely important as the democratic party continues to expand and south carolina, quite frankly, saved joe biden. it s been a bulwark for the democratic party. iowa s one of the most lily white places in the country, it s a very small point. the viewpoints small state. what they choose is not anticipate indicative of what the democratic party wants to be, and they totally clustered the last caucus. [laughter] i ve been willing to see iowa go by the wayside for years now, finally that a day is dawning. howard: yeah, the caucuses are so complicated. jim, i ve got less than a minute. what about the argument that this is just, this is 2024. biden s not saying you have to do it in 2028. the media said he was toast, he shouldn t be running, he was too old, too out of touch, so so really isn t this, again, about biden wanting to have an easier run if yeah. unless you were going to say we
