Should Joe Biden drop out? Or Dance better?

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.839
Calaruga Shark media from Washington, DC, Where it's time to dance. This

2
00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:15.759
is ballad, that's right, and
today it's all bad news for Uncle Joe.

3
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:22.760
Let's hit this well, folks,
it looks like President Joe Biden has

4
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:27.039
found himself in the spotlight once again, and this time it's not for his

5
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.920
smooth dance moves. A video of
Biden's standing still as a statue during a

6
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.320
Juneteenth event at the White House has
gone viral and the Internet is having a

7
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:42.200
field day. The footage, shared
by the Republican National Committee shows Biden frozen

8
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:47.320
in place while everyone around him,
including Vice President Kamala Harris, is getting

9
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.960
down to the beat. I guess
when you're the leader of the free world,

10
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.560
you don't have to worry about impressing
anyone with your dancing skills. Now.

11
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.000
To be fair, the event was
a pretty big deal. It was

12
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.239
an early Juneteenth holiday concert attended by
one thousand, seven hundred people, including

13
00:01:03.239 --> 00:01:08.200
some heavy hitters like Gladys Knight,
Patty LaBelle, and Dougie Fresh. Biden

14
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:14.400
even gave a speech saying Black history
is American history and reminding us that there's

15
00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.840
still a hell of a lot more
work to do. But apparently that work

16
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:23.480
doesn't include busting a move. Of
course, this isn't the first time Biden's

17
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.599
behavior in public has come under scrutiny. As the oldest person ever to be

18
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.680
president, he's faced accusations that he
lacks the mental fitness for the job.

19
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.519
His critics point to his verbal gaffes
and frailty like stumbling on the steps of

20
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.239
Air Force one, as evidence that
he's not up to the task. But

21
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:42.799
hey, at least he didn't fall
off the stage this time. Right.

22
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.000
The Internet, being the kind and
understanding place that it is, wasted no

23
00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:53.120
time in roasting Biden for his apparent
lack of engagement at the event. Conservative

24
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:59.319
internet personality Mike Sparatza wrote, we
have our first total malfunction to his brain,

25
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:05.359
while the account libs of TikTok said
Biden was looking lost, staring into

26
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:09.120
space like a zombie. Another account
chimed in, saying he has no clue

27
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:14.800
why he is there. Ouch,
but not everyone was so quick to judge.

28
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.520
One account came to Biden's defense,
saying, I do not like or

29
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.840
support Joe Biden, but this is
the most relatable he has ever been.

30
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.759
I cannot dance and when surrounded with
people who are dancing, I do exactly

31
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:30.759
what he is doing here, freeze, smile, and wait for it to

32
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:35.479
end. Finally, someone who understands
the struggle of having two left feet.

33
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.879
My take, I couldn't stop watching
Kamala give off fun and energy. It

34
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.560
looks like President Biden's approval ratings have
hit rock bottom. An election data guru

35
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.520
Nate Silver is suggesting that it might
be time for the Democratic front runner to

36
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:53.800
hang up his hat and call it
quits. That's right. The founder of

37
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:58.680
five point thirty eight thinks Biden's latest
disapproval ratings are so bad that dropping out

38
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.639
of the twenty twenty four presidential race
might be the lesser of two evils.

39
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.639
Silver took to Twitter on Monday to
share his thoughts, saying, but Biden

40
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.639
just hit a new all time low
in approval thirty seven point four percent.

41
00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.280
Dropping out would be a big risk. But there's some threshold below which continuing

42
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:20.080
to run is a bigger risk.
Are we there yet? I don't know,

43
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.120
but it's more than fair to ask
ouch. When your approval rating is

44
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:28.319
lower than the percentage of people who
believe in Bigfoot, you know you're in

45
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.400
trouble. But wait, there's more. Silver also suggested that Democrats would have

46
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:36.360
had a better shot at the White
House if Biden had bowed out a year

47
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.960
ago, allowing for a proper primary
process and giving voters a chance to choose

48
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:45.400
from the many popular Democrats across the
country. I guess hindsight really is twenty

49
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:50.479
twenty or in this case, twenty
twenty four. And if you thought things

50
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:54.319
couldn't get any worse for Biden,
Silver dropped this bombshell. If I told

51
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.439
you ten years ago a president would
seek reelection at eighty one despite a super

52
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.639
majority of Americans having concerns about his
age, and then we'd hit eight percent

53
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:08.039
inflation for two years, you wouldn't
be surprised he was an underdog for reelection.

54
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.560
You'd be surprised it was even close. Yikes, when you put it

55
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.240
that way, it's a miracle Biden's
even in the race at all. But

56
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:18.959
wait, what about Trump? Surely
he should drop out too, right?

57
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.439
Well, according to Silver, yes, Trump should drop out. I agree

58
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:30.600
Biden would lose by seven points against
a different candidate, But I agree the

59
00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:38.199
Republican Party and the country would be
better served by a different nominee. In

60
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.319
a recent interview with Piers Morgan,
RFK Junior dropped a bombshell. He's staying

61
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.959
in the race to lower Trump's chances
of winning. That's right. He's the

62
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:49.920
political equivalent of a spoiler, the
guy who shows up to the party uninvited

63
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:55.120
and eats all the guacamole. I'm
hoping in the long run that I'll be

64
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:59.399
very damaging to both of the candidates, RFK Junior said with a straight face.

65
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.199
I mean, who says that.
It's like announcing I'm running for president,

66
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:05.959
But my real goal is to make
sure nobody gets what they want.

67
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.240
Talk about a buzzkill. But let's
be real, folks, RFK Junior isn't

68
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.120
exactly a political heavyweight. He's known
more for his controversial views on vaccines and

69
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:21.279
his penchant for conspiracy theories than his
presidential aspirations. It's like the kid who

70
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:26.920
runs for student council on a platform
of more recess and less homework. Sure

71
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.480
it sounds great, but is it
really feasible? Now, I know what

72
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.480
you're thinking. Why would RFK Junior
want to damage both candidates? Isn't he

73
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:41.120
supposed to pick a side? Well? Apparently no. Meanwhile, it seems

74
00:05:41.120 --> 00:05:45.120
like former President Donald Trump just can't
catch a break these days. Fresh off

75
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:47.600
his conviction in the New York hush
money case, where he was found guilty

76
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:53.079
of falsifying business records to cover up
an alleged affair with adult film star Stormy

77
00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:58.800
Daniels, Trump now faces a new
challenge keeping his liquor licenses at three of

78
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.680
his New Jersey golf course. That's
right, the New Jersey Attorney General's office

79
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:08.399
is reviewing whether Trump's recent conviction could
impact his ability to serve booze at his

80
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:12.920
fancy golf clubs, because apparently,
in New Jersey you need to have a

81
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.360
reputable character to hold a liquor license. I guess they haven't been paying attention

82
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:20.319
to Trump's Twitter feed for the past
few years. Now. I know what

83
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:26.120
you're thinking, how will Trump's golf
buddies survive without their post round martinis.

84
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.720
Well, fear not, because as
of Monday, the liquor licenses at Trump's

85
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.959
golf clubs remain active, so for
now the party can continue. But here's

86
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:40.480
the kicker. New Jersey law states
that no liquor license shall be issued to

87
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:45.240
any person who has been convicted of
a crime. Involving moral turpitude, and

88
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.920
let's be real, when it comes
to Trump, the phrase moral turpitude pretty

89
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:55.519
much sums up his entire political career. Trump, of course, denies the

90
00:06:55.560 --> 00:07:00.319
affair with Stormy Daniels and has vowed
to appeal the verdict. He's set to

91
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.160
be sentenced just four days before the
Republican National Convention next month, where he'll

92
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:10.279
likely be officially nominated as the GOP's
presidential candidate. Talk about awkward timing.

93
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.959
So while Trump may be facing legal
troubles left and right, at least he

94
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.079
can still serve over priced cocktails at
his new Jersey golf clubs for now.

95
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:19.720
Cheers to that
