EPIC BATTLE for the WHITE HOUSE Gets UGLY | Ep 437

If you are a political junkie, then today's show is a must-watch. Jon Allen and Amie Parnes are veteran journalists that spill the tea on everything leading up to the 2024 election. As Joe Biden's cognitive collapse made its way to households around the country and the world, Biden's blunders were far more apparent and evident behind the scenes. Examples such as Biden giving then Speaker McCarthy a tour of the pool house dressing room, or asking where a deceased Congresswoman was during the tour. Biden's closest aides did everything in their power to not only keep their jobs but cover up these outrageous lapses in Biden's cognition. Meanwhile VP Harris and her team conjured up a contingency plan around Biden passing away while in office. It was shaky ground to say the least and it all came crashing down in July, when Biden met Donald Trump on the debate stage. A bitter and betrayed Biden tried to paint himself as a magnanimous leader stepping down as the top Democratic knives came out, including betrayal from Pelosi, Obama and Schumer. The problem was, nobody had faith in Kamala, including Obama, yet here she was. How could Democrats, after everything they preach, pass on the first black woman running for the highest office in the land? As tensions grew amongst Democratic camps, Donald Trump was running a very disciplined, unchaotic campaign led by Wiles and LaCivita. Kamala's scripted and sometimes edited appearances couldn't hold a candle to the long-form podcast and interviews President Trump and Vice President JD Vance were appearing in. As top Obama and Biden aides projections show Donald Trump winning, they told Harris/Walz a different story. It was only on election night as the votes came in did Kamala's bubble burst and her dreams shattered. At the end of the day, President Trump first beat Joe Biden, then beat Kamala Harris to become our 47th president.
