out of office who everybody, including Brian Stelter, can clearly see has no problems whatsoever with his—he's functioning like the best Democrat of all of them anyway.

MSNBC desperately trying to revive Biden because they think maybe it's their only choice. But Nicole Wallace had to finally admit that Biden's approval levels are at a low where nobody has ever been elected. Apparently—well, no, I may be lying about that, but I think she said that nobody's been reelected with that kind of approval. And she also said that there are no polls that show that Biden is ahead, which is, you know, he claimed those polls exist, which suggests yes that his campaign is either lying to him about the polls or—and this would be a big surprise you'd never see this coming—he might be a big old liar. Yeah, it's possible. I know this might be the first time you're hearing it because you've only heard that Trump's a big old liar. But shocker: Biden has a long history of making stuff up. Yeah, no, it's real. It's true. I know you're shocked, but it's true.

So a lot of MSNBC viewers watched that presser, and like Brian Stelter, they thought to themselves, he looks perfectly functional to me. I don't even see what the problem is. This is embarrassing.

CNN has a scoop here. I think it's a scoop. That radio station that Biden did a friendly interview with—you know, the one where they—I think it's the same one where he gave them the questions to ask in advance. Well, apparently even then there were two things that Biden said that were so embarrassing the campaign called the radio station and asked them to edit those out. And they did. Okay, two separate stories in one. Story number one: two of his answers were so embarrassing that the campaign asked them to delete them. That's a big story. The bigger story is that the radio station just did it. They deleted them. The next biggest story: CNN busted him.

So I'm going to say again, I don't think CNN has quite found their footing as some kind of a real news entity, but they are definitely hitting both sides now. You could no longer say, oh, they only say good things about the Democrats. That's not happening now. Some of this may be related to they know they've got to get Biden out of there to have any chance of beating Trump. So you can't quite know if CNN's trying to play it straight or they're just in a weird situation where the Democrats are running the worst candidate in the world.

But the two things that they deleted were Biden made the claim that he had more Black people in this administration than all other prior administrations put together, and that would be not close to true. And he also said something about the Central Park Five and wasn't sure if somebody called for hanging them or not. No, nobody called for hanging the Central Park Five.

And by the way, that was the first famous Trump hoax. Those of you who have only heard the version of the Central Park Five story from the press heard it this way: five innocent young Black men were wrongly accused by the police of raping and murdering—or I don't know if they killed her or they just badly injured her, I think badly injured—a woman. And Trump wrote—this is what they say, this is not the true story—what they say is that Trump wrote an op-ed. He bought a whole front page in the *New York Times* to say that those Park Five should be executed. And he said that without even knowing that they were guilty. And it turns out they weren't, according to the courts. And so therefore that can only be interpreted as he's a racist because he wanted the five Black people executed without knowing they were innocent.

Now, here's the real story. His one page in the *New York Times* did not mention the Central Park Five. What he said was crime is out of control. We need to bring back the death penalty. Crime is out of control means that he's talking about the larger issue, which means he has very specifically not made it about those five people. If you talk about the issue in general, where's the race part? There's no race part. It was certainly triggered by the fact there was a recent event, but his comments had nothing to do with race. And that got turned into "Trump wants to hang innocent Black people." That was the first Trump hoax. That was a doozy.

Well, speaking of liars, the Republicans, led by Representative Anna Paulina Luna, couldn't get the vote to get Garland held in contempt. It would have been a fine of $1,000 a day for not turning over the audio tapes, which we believe would make Biden look extra bad. And that would be the only reason we can't hear them, since we've already seen the transcripts. And so as a compromise, Representative Luna said, how about just letting the people with full security clearance listen to them in the SCIF? Now that got turned down. Why would people who have security clearance not be allowed to hear something that's so secret they don't want the public to hear it? Because Luna would be, I think, within the small group of people who they can't keep any secrets from. I don't know if that's true, but it wouldn't be this kind of secret. They couldn't keep it from them. And they said no. What would be the reason for that? Well, there they might say it's so you don't lie about it. But the real reason is it's really bad. It's really bad. And if it is really bad, it would certainly suggest that his entire staff knew about it the whole time, which we all know is true anyway.

So Representative Luna doing great work.

I saw a provocative post by Balaji Srinivasan, one of the smartest people around, who says he wants somebody—yeah, I think he put some money behind this—to pay somebody to do it or to earn an award for the best one or something. He wants somebody to make an AI version of Biden and have it answer the same questions that Biden was asked and see if people can tell the difference and also see who did it better. Now, Balaji is hypothesizing that the crossover point has already arrived. That if you had a choice between Biden himself and an AI version, the AI version would answer the questions better and would be less pathetic. I think he's right. In my opinion, it would still be easy to tell which one's the AI. And the reason you could tell is it didn't lie. Although it might, depending on which AI.

I wasn't going to talk about this, but I asked Meta AI—so this is Meta, you know, the Facebook Meta company. They got an AI. So I thought, you know, just for fun, I'm going to see if the AI has any bias. So here's what I asked, and this is last night, right? So this is after the debate and after the presser. I said, does Joe Biden have dementia or Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's? That's a fair question, right? It's all over the news. Everybody's asking the question. And even Democrats have their questions.

Here's what Meta said: There is no credible evidence that Joe Biden has dementia, Parkinson's disease, or Alzheimer's. Speculation about a public figure
