Weird Biden dance video goes viral, Nate Silver suggests Biden pull out

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:09.160
Calaruga Shark media from Washington, DC, Where it's time to dance. This

2
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:12.519
is ballot, that's right, and
today it's all bad news for Uncle Joe.

3
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:18.800
Let's hit this well, folks,
it looks like President Joe Biden has

4
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.920
found himself in the spotlight once again, and this time it's not for his

5
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.679
smooth dance moves. A video of
Biden's standing still as a statue during a

6
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:32.000
Juneteenth event at the White House has
gone viral and the Internet is having a

7
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:37.479
field day. The footage, shared
by the Republican National Committee shows Biden frozen

8
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:42.840
in place while everyone around him,
including Vice President Kamala Harris, is getting

9
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.560
down to the beat. I guess
when you're the leader of the free world,

10
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:51.799
you don't have to worry about impressing
anyone with your dancing skills. Now.

11
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.560
To be fair, the event was
a pretty big deal. It was

12
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:00.119
an early Juneteenth holiday concert attended by
one thy seven hundred people, including some

13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:06.200
heavy hitters like Gladys Knight, Patty
LaBelle, and Dougie Fresh. Biden even

14
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:11.400
gave a speech saying Black history is
American history and reminding us that there's still

15
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.439
a hell of a lot more work
to do. But apparently that work doesn't

16
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.040
include busting a move. Of course, this isn't the first time Biden's behavior

17
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.159
in public has come under scrutiny.
As the oldest person ever to be president,

18
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.879
he's faced accusations that he lacks the
mental fitness for the job. His

19
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.920
critics point to his verbal gaffs and
frailty like stumbling on the steps of Air

20
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.040
Force one, as evidence that he's
not up to the task. But hey,

21
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.000
at least he didn't fall off the
stage this time. Right. The

22
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:45.280
Internet, being the kind and understanding
place that it is, wasted no time

23
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.159
in roasting Biden for his apparent lack
of engagement at the event. Conservative internet

24
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.680
personality Mike Sparatza wrote, we have
our first total malfunction to his brain,

25
00:01:55.319 --> 00:02:00.400
while the account libs of TikTok said
Biden was looking lost, staring into like

26
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.200
a zombie. Another account chimed in
saying he has no clue why he is

27
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.560
there. Ouch, but not everyone
was so quick to judge. One account

28
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.120
came to Biden's defense, saying,
I do not like or support Joe Biden,

29
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.599
but this is the most relatable he
has ever been. I cannot dance

30
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:21.319
and when surrounded with people who are
dancing. I do exactly what he is

31
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.360
doing here, freeze, smile,
and wait for it to end. Finally,

32
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.280
someone who understands the struggle of having
two left feet. My take,

33
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:36.879
I couldn't stop watching Kamala give off
fun and energy. It looks like President

34
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:40.159
Biden's approval ratings have hit rock bottom. An election data guru Nate Silver is

35
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.560
suggesting that it might be time for
the Democratic front runner to hang up his

36
00:02:44.599 --> 00:02:49.400
hat and call it quits. That's
right. The founder of five thirty eight

37
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:53.759
thinks Biden's latest disapproval ratings are so
bad that dropping out of the twenty twenty

38
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.479
four presidential race might be the lesser
of two evils. Silver took to Twitter

39
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.199
on Monday to share his thoughts,
saying, but Biden just hit a new

40
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.800
all time low in approval thirty seven
point four percent at five hundred and thirty

41
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.080
eight yesterday. Dropping out would be
a big risk, But there's some threshold

42
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.000
below which continuing to run is a
bigger risk. Are we there yet?

43
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.520
I don't know, but it's more
than fair to ask ouch when your approval

44
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.080
rating is lower than the percentage of
people who believe in bigfoot. You know

45
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:29.240
you're in trouble. But wait,
there's more. Silver also suggested that Democrats

46
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:30.800
would have had a better shot at
the White House if Biden had bowed out

47
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.280
a year ago, allowing for a
proper primary process and giving voters a chance

48
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.840
to choose from the many popular Democrats
across the country. I guess hindsight really

49
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:45.159
is twenty twenty or in this case, twenty twenty four. And if you

50
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.919
thought things couldn't get any worse for
Biden, Silver dropped this bombshell. If

51
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.800
I told you ten years ago a
president would seek reelection at eighty one despite

52
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.680
a super majority of Americans having concerns
about his age, and then we'd hit

53
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.960
eight percent inflation for two years,
you wouldn't be surprised he was an underdog

54
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:05.840
for reelection. You'd be surprised it
was even close. Yikes, when you

55
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.439
put it that way, it's a
miracle Biden's even in the race at all.

56
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.039
But wait, what about Trump?
Surely he should drop out too,

57
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.360
right? Well, according to Silver, yes, Trump should drop out.

58
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.720
I agree Biden would lose by seven
points against a different candidate, but I

59
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:29.519
agree the Republican Party and the country
would be better served by a different nominee.

60
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.199
Meanwhile, it seems like former President
Donald Trump just can't catch a break

61
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.360
these days. Fresh off his conviction
in the New York hush money case,

62
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:44.000
where he was found guilty of falsifying
business records to cover up an alleged affair

63
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:48.240
with adult film star Stormy Daniels,
Trump now faces a new challenge keeping his

64
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:53.839
liquor licenses at three of his New
Jersey golf courses. That's right, the

65
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.680
New Jersey Attorney General's office is reviewing
whether Trump's recent conviction could impact his ability

66
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.720
to serve booze at his fancy clubs, because apparently, in New Jersey you

67
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:06.600
need to have a reputable character to
hold a liquor license. I guess they

68
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.720
haven't been paying attention to Trump's Twitter
feed for the past few years. Now.

69
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:15.680
I know what you're thinking, How
will Trump's golf buddies survive without their

70
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.160
post round Martiniz Well, fear not, because as of Monday, the liquor

71
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:24.560
licenses at Trump's golf clubs remain active, so for now, the party can

72
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:30.000
continue. But here's the kicker.
New Jersey law states that no liquor license

73
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.279
shall be issued to any person who
has been convicted of a crime involving moral

74
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:38.759
turpitude, And let's be real,
when it comes to Trump, the phrase

75
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:44.000
moral turpitude pretty much sums up his
entire political career. Trump, of course,

76
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.800
denies the affair with Stormy Daniels and
has vowed to appeal the verdict.

77
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.279
He's said to be sentenced just four
days before the Republican National Convention next month,

78
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:57.519
where he'll likely be officially nominated as
the GOP's presidential candidate. Talk about

79
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.319
awkward timing. So while Trump may
be facing legal troubles left and right,

80
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:06.639
at least he can still serve overpriced
cocktails at his new Jersey golf clubs for

81
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:13.199
now. Cheers to that. Portions
of today's program were made with the help

82
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.279
of AI, which is trained in
all forms of dancing.
