Now Bill Maher was like one of the biggest critics of the president, right? He's one of the most vocal critics. And Bill Maher says in the tweet, this is a fresh tweet, "But one other thing, Mr. President, as long as we're talking," this is Bill Maher, "if you were to do a total 180 on the environment and become the most dogged fighter we've ever had against climate change, pollution, and killing…
← Previous segment →Here's my other favorite story. It's being reported. I don't know that you could consider this credible. Whenever you hear a quote from people who were not recorded at the time, usually you should say the quote is not necessarily credible. It might be accurate, but you can't really believe quotes unless you see them on video or hear them on audio. And even that it could be a deepfake. But if you're just hearing somebody said somebody said something, that's the lowest level of credibility. But that said, the story says that Obama told Biden that he quote "didn't have to run." Didn't have to run. And I think everybody's seeing that language and they're saying, well, if I were to parse that choice of words, and here's the part we don't know. Did Obama use those exact words? Because that's sort of being reported like those were his exact words or something so close to it that is effectively exact words.
Do you think that Obama told Biden that he didn't have to run? Because if you tell your spouse, you know, honey you don't have to go with me to the whatever, what does your spouse say? Your spouse doesn't say, oh you're so nice, you're giving me the option of going with you or not. No. If you tell your spouse you don't have to go with me, you're kind of telling your spouse to stay home. That's how your spouse will take it even if you're not thinking that. Yeah, that's how your spouse is going to take it. So this wording, which again I'm not sure it was his exact wording, Obama has allegedly said that you didn't, you don't have to run. If Obama told Biden that he really didn't have to run, he was kind of trying to discourage him. So that's interesting.
I do believe that Obama has got some deep concerns about his legacy with Biden. So that's probably just about all I had to talk about.

Oh, so I'm having a lot of people who, you know, people live in a binary world. So in our binary world you either love the president or hate the president. You can't be in between. You're either Democrat or you're Republican. You're a socialist or a capitalist. You know, we like to put things in two categories. So when I've been talking about Antifa, people like to jump in and say Antifa hasn't ki…
