They discuss unsettling footage of Biden appearing confused, compare him to an incapacitated Jimmy Carter, and reference Hunter S. Thompson's surprisingly admiring account of watching Carter speak.

In this bit10 moments
  • Tim describes Biden as an ancient president kept in the dark about reports circulating nationwide.
  • Concealing the mental decline of the leader of the free world should be illegal, like perjury.
  • The White House functions with a diminished president, though 'diminished' could mean 10% or 99% gone.
  • Nobody fully understands who's running the country anymore—it's like a Tesla on autopilot with no real authority in control.
  • Biden is now only a couple steps away from Jimmy Carter's condition, which was visibly severe.
  • Jimmy Carter was shown in the sun with his mouth wide open, supposedly excited to vote for Harris but appearing nearly gone.
  • Hunter S. Thompson renounced politics after Nixon but was hired to hear Carter speak and ran to his car for a tape recorder.
  • Thompson found Carter made so much sense that he called him a beautiful, peaceful president—one of the few who never profited afterward.
  • Carter lived simply after his presidency, never taking corporate speaking gigs that paid a quarter million dollars.
  • Hunter S. Thompson's recorded take on Jimmy Carter can be found online.
