CNN Presidential Debate, Joe Biden Performance Analysis
Media outlets and political commentators reacted to the first 2024 presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in Atlanta. Pre-debate coverage featured Senator Amy Klobuchar and MSNBC pundits praising Biden's fitness, while post-debate analysis shifted toward panic regarding his raspy voice and incoherent answers. Reports highlighted that Jill Biden assisted the president off the stage, leading to internal Democratic discussions about his viability as a candidate.

00:00 All signs pointed to jacked up Joe. Clarifying the Clown Show and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where everybody wants Kamala Harris for president, I'm John C. Dvorak. That's funny, that was going to be my complete deconstruction as well. Go Kamala! Woo! I wish that happened. I received a very rare text from
00:43 from John Thursday night. He says, uh, hey, got any Palestine news? Very funny. Now, before we begin our deconstruction, because everyone seems to think we're going to do this. Oh, let me tell you. Walking into church this morning. Hey, I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say Oh, everyone's like half the church like what it what it was gonna happen. You got the other Okay, well this you got a bunch of customers there. That's oh, yeah. We did. Hey, why do you think I go customers, baby? It's all customers. Yes, we should have a couple super clips. I want to start with I have a super clip as well. How about that?
01:25 I have a before super clip. Actually, I have two befores and one after. Okay. And why are they not marked as super? These are under Deb for debate. So I would like to start with this one. Deb CBS before. CBS before. Okay, here we go. We are just hours away from this year's first presidential debate in Atlanta. And while President Biden and former President Donald Trump have done this before back in 2020, as you all know, so much has changed since then. And right now the race could not be tighter. Minnesota's Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar joins us from Atlanta ahead of tonight's debate. Senator Klobuchar, welcome. I want to dive right into what's leading on many people's minds
02:09 which recent polling suggests is this concern about President Biden's age. You're speaking to a reporter who he called a junkie some time ago because I inquired about cognitive tests. How significant is it tonight that Mr. Biden shows he's fit for the title of commander in chief? Oh, President Biden is fit to be commander in chief. Every time there has been a big moment where the Trump people are predicting some fiasco, every time President Biden rises to the occasion. Look at it. The State of the Union this year, last year, he was fantastic. Normandy, he is the commander in chief.
02:49 And you know, they can poke at his age all they want. Trump is nearly the same age. And I take 81 over 91 any day. 91 felony indictments. Not really a super clip. No, that's not the super clip. The super clip is this one. This is Deb MSNBC, which is actually MSNBC, CNN and a few others before. And this is a clip. Now is it before? I'm sorry. Yeah, before. Before. I'm sorry. Okay, here we go. Advantage Joe Biden. Well, then you better vote for Joe Biden. It's that simple. This version of Biden intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever. On the one hand, I think that they should debate that Biden will wipe the floor for me, or Biden should just challenge him to push up.
03:39 Donald Trump better be careful because in 2020 when they had their little debate. He is visibly in better physical shape than Donald Trump. Biden's out riding a bike, he's swimming in the ocean, he's you know, 80 year olds you know can do all those things. Joe Biden is in far better shape physically. Joe Biden is physically active, he's on a bike. He's literally He's off the bike. The one question, is he old enough? Is he strong enough? He was on fire. He's fiery Joe. I'm excited for the American people to get to see President Biden on the campaign trail. Get to see what I get to see behind the scenes all the time about his energy. One of the themes this election cycle is that Joe Biden is too old to lead. And so everyone is seizing upon this. And it is a classic disinformation tactic. Biden swept the floor with that. That's right.
04:32 What a rug pull! Alright, I presume the MSNBC after is the next clip? Yeah, basically the same people in that last clip after the debate. Now is a good time in June, thank God. In June and not October, in June. This is the last chance for Democrats to decide whether this man we've known and loved for a very long time is up to the task. Blame it on a cold, blame it on his stuttering, blame it on over preparation, whatever. But he did lose. Maybe he needs to go. Maybe he needs to be honest with us. It was stunningly worse than I expected, the performance. I think within the first 90 seconds, it was kind of baked in.
05:20 It kind of pains me to say this today, but I think President Biden needs to step down. It just pains me, but I don't believe he's the right man right now. And I don't know what you do to turn that around. Biden's answers were in a lot of cases not coherent. He did nothing to disabuse, I think, the country of the notion that he is very old and was lost frequently. His biggest issue that he had to prove to the American people was that he had the energy and the stamina and he didn't do that. that Joe Biden had last night was to reassure America that he was not too old to do the job. And he failed. I was disappointed to devastated by Joe Biden's performance last night. I don't believe he's our best choice at this point. Before we continue, and I'd like to for us to talk a little bit, I would like to play a public service announcement.
06:29 This is a public service announcement from then Attorney General of the great state of Delaware, Beau Biden. Hi, my name is Beau Biden, Attorney General of the state of Delaware. Here to talk to you about something that's very important to me and to my office, senior abuse, which falls into one of three categories, abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation. For every one of these types of crimes that's reported to our office, five go unreported. But two million senior Americans are affected every year. And 80% of these crimes are committed by family members against their so-called loved one. We need your help. Seniors need your help. So if you suspect that anyone is affected by any of these crimes, please contact our elder abuse hotline. Thank you. I think right after the debate we got an excellent example of elder abuse by a family member. Joe, you did such a great job. You answered every question. You knew all the answers.
07:29 I mean, come on. Are we stupid? Are we stupid? Joe, you answered every question. Good job. You did a great job. Good job, Joe. Okay. So I think we could have probably expected this because the setup for this obvious operation was Jarin Kabool John Pierre. with the cheap fakes. That was the setup, not for us, but for... Probably gas lit public for the gas lit public like, oh, see, it's just the Republicans. They're deceptively editing. It's all no, it's not true. That was because I remember saying, wow, that's a really good one. Cheap fakes. That's not something Jarin came up with. That came from someone who was smart. And yes. Yeah, because you can't say deep fake because that's very specific. No, but we all know what that means. Yes. So you change the the
08:30 the terminology to cheap fae which rhymes with deep and makes you think deep but it doesn't really mean anything. There's no real definition for this. Now the thing that we can't portray because it wasn't audio, is what you saw on the screen. I'm sure you saw it too right after the debate when I was watching CNN, MSNBC. CNN is the only network that showed what you're going to talk about. No, MSNBC did the same thing. They kept... Well, it wasn't on CBS. No, no, I'm saying... It wasn't on ABC or NBC. No.
09:08 It was on, now remember that they had, CNN had I think 15 people, MSNBC had about 8 or 9. And the lower third kept coming up. Democrat insider, Joe has to go. Dem sources say this is horrendous. Joe has got to resign. I mean, one after the other. And then, because of course these, these, I don't think that these, these talking heads were in on it, but they were getting the calls. Like, oh, I thought you were going to talk about him being escorted off the stage. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You saw that, right? Yeah, where Jill literally had to support him getting down each step. One step. No, the lower third. Now, you and I know enough about television. It's not like the Chiron editor sits there and says, oh, I know what I'll put in there. This would be cool. Let me put this in. No. And there were no names. There were no names. It was just Dem sources, donors, insiders, Washington people with knowledge, people familiar with the matter.
10:08 None of those were on the screen, no, none of those came on to say anything. It was all lower third and it was just one after the other after the other. And then of course the New York Times came out with the editorial board literally saying to serve his country, President Biden should leave the race. So this was a complete setup. And all of these talking heads, they were getting the calls. That's all they could talk about. Well, I'm getting calls from all over the place. I'm getting I'm getting caught joy. And they would not name names. No, I'm getting a call from the Obama world people, whatever that means. I found it interesting. The and I'm going to stay with your thesis, because I kind of think there's something going on, too. The is that, for example, on MSNBC, they had just a table full of people.
10:55 And it's like eight or nine people and they somehow all of them were getting calls. Well if you work in the industry I don't care who you are or what you're you're not getting calls. just random calls constantly from people when you're when you actually have a job to do you get you have to prepare for this for the setup that's going on for the discussions you're not taking a bunch of calls if you were even getting them there was something very fishy oh yeah I got called by ten different people I got called like I called my phone was ringing off the hook well let me put it this way I believe these people, well texts, call, DMs, whatever, that's kind of irrelevant how it came in. These are the people they talk to all the time. These are the people that tell them what to say.
11:40 That's why they had no other thing to say, is because they have no brain cells. They just say whatever their sources, their insiders, the donors, whatever they tell these people on those panels. Now they were just saying, oh, he's got to go. It's done. Oh, no. It was a nice little play. By the way, coincidentally, June 28th, 1914 is when Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated. Seems to be a political trend. every 110 years. A cycle, John, a cycle. June 28th. So the question is why... By the way, after the fact they closed ranks. What do you mean? The Republicans, the Democrats closed ranks
