Jake Tapper’s Book

Matt Gagnon and one of our listener’s discuss Jake Tapper’s book, which alleges that President Biden’s staff limited his access to information and decisions due to his diminished state. They express concern about who was actually running the country during Biden’s presidency. Matt Gagnon criticizes the media for downplaying Biden’s cognitive decline and calls for investigations. He mentions aides discussing putting Biden in a wheelchair and speculates on the implications if Biden had won re-election. They also compare this to the Trump administration, where aides took actions without Trump’s knowledge. Matt Gagnon criticizes Jake Sullivan for not acknowledging Biden’s decline and calls for accountability from all involved.
