Joe Biden Speaks With The Dead | Ep. 1583

Memory Lapses

Ben Shapiro highlights a concerning moment during a rally in Indiana where President Joe Biden mistakenly acknowledged the presence of Jackie Walorski, a representative who had recently passed away in a car accident. Shapiro points out that this is not an isolated incident, as Biden has made similar gaffes in the past, raising questions about his cognitive abilities 1. Shapiro humorously suggests that perhaps Biden has a unique ability to communicate with the dead, a skill that would be quite remarkable for a president 1.

Joe Biden has never been all there, but now he's really, really not there.

--- Ben Shapiro

He criticizes the White House's handling of such incidents, suggesting that a simple acknowledgment of the mistake would prevent it from becoming a news cycle 2.

   

Press Secretary Defense

The White House's response to Biden's gaffe was met with criticism, particularly aimed at Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Shapiro describes her attempts to justify Biden's mistake as ineffective, comparing her performance to a poor batting average in baseball 3. He argues that the insistence on portraying presidents as infallible is problematic and suggests that acknowledging human error would be more beneficial 3.

The necessity in today's politics to try and treat our presidents as though they are blessed with some sort of prophetic infallibility is just insane.

--- Ben Shapiro

Shapiro emphasizes that this issue is not unique to Biden, noting similar tendencies in previous administrations 2.
