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.
- 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.
