00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.320
Well, there were a series of bizarre moments at the White House Easter Egg Roll.

2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:10.000
This was just one of them when President Biden answered a reporter's question on Afghanistan

3
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:26.300
when he was suddenly whisked away, get this, by the Easter Bunny.

4
00:00:26.300 --> 00:00:30.900
This latest awkward moment comes as The Hill reports President Biden told former President

5
00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:35.940
Obama that he plans to run for a second term despite his lagging poll numbers.

6
00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:40.980
Kennedy, I wonder a lot, I get asked a lot who's running the country, who is they telling

7
00:00:40.980 --> 00:00:42.660
the president what to do.

8
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:46.940
There are far more sinister theories than the Easter Bunny, so I guess I'll take it.

9
00:00:46.940 --> 00:00:47.940
I don't know.

10
00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:51.340
I know the president and you would know this far better than anyone.

11
00:00:51.340 --> 00:00:53.220
No one has proximity to the president.

12
00:00:53.220 --> 00:00:58.020
Like no one can just reach out and touch the president, get within inches of that

13
00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:01.340
person, because that is the most powerful person in the world.

14
00:01:01.340 --> 00:01:05.900
So how is the Easter Bunny right up in his grill, waving in his face?

15
00:01:05.900 --> 00:01:07.380
And why is that not a security threat?

16
00:01:07.380 --> 00:01:11.700
And why was that giant rodent not tackled by the Secret Service?

17
00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:16.860
And if if the bunny was a high placed operative, I want to know who that was.

18
00:01:16.860 --> 00:01:19.640
And obviously that was someone that that's a minder.

19
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:22.420
You know, that that's part of the that's part of the machine.

20
00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:28.140
That's, you know, one of the actors in The Truman Show trying to distract the principal.

21
00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:29.660
And that's what was happening there.

22
00:01:29.660 --> 00:01:33.740
And frankly, it's creepy because someone in that suit was told to give the president,

23
00:01:33.740 --> 00:01:36.500
you know, the stop talking signal.

24
00:01:36.500 --> 00:01:40.740
And by the way, if he was just being summoned to go to the Easter egg hunts, then someone

25
00:01:40.740 --> 00:01:43.260
could just said, Mr. President, you're wanted at the Easter egg hunt.

26
00:01:43.260 --> 00:01:44.420
And that would have been weird.

27
00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:48.180
But the Easter Bunny waving in his face, scaring the living crap out of him.

28
00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:49.180
That's weird.

29
00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:51.300
Well, I don't know if the Easter Bunny is contracted to speak.

30
00:01:52.300 --> 00:01:53.300
Good point.

31
00:01:53.300 --> 00:01:54.300
Could be like a Disney character.

32
00:01:54.300 --> 00:01:58.740
All he can do is, you know, I'm glad we showed the longer video of that rather than just

33
00:01:58.740 --> 00:02:01.460
the close up, because you see the journey that the bunny made.

34
00:02:01.460 --> 00:02:02.460
You're right.

35
00:02:02.460 --> 00:02:04.180
There's nobody stopping him or her.

36
00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:06.220
And how much planning went into it?

37
00:02:06.220 --> 00:02:09.820
Maybe it was something that they were that they were concerned about beforehand.

38
00:02:09.820 --> 00:02:11.900
And they're like, OK, you're going to wear the bunny suit.

39
00:02:11.900 --> 00:02:16.060
Make sure he doesn't answer any questions, because because to your point, that's how

40
00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:18.580
much planning goes into this stuff.

41
00:02:18.580 --> 00:02:24.580
And I would imagine when you have a sort of non-cognizant person, even more planning

42
00:02:24.580 --> 00:02:25.580
goes in.

43
00:02:25.580 --> 00:02:28.020
Because he did put his arm around the president.

44
00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:29.020
Like, come on.

45
00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:30.020
No bueno.

46
00:02:30.020 --> 00:02:33.380
And no, you make a great point, because I mean, in no universe would a member of my

47
00:02:33.380 --> 00:02:36.660
press shop, certainly a lower level member, be able to just like walk up to President

48
00:02:36.660 --> 00:02:37.660
Trump.

49
00:02:37.660 --> 00:02:40.020
And maybe it speaks to the power of the press shop, if anything, to have this coordinated

50
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:41.300
plan in the Biden White House.

51
00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:42.300
I don't know.

52
00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:47.140
But, Emily, let's remember, this isn't the only time this Easter egg roll.

53
00:02:47.140 --> 00:02:50.660
President Biden said they won't let me read, but he said something similar a lot.

54
00:02:50.660 --> 00:02:51.660
Let's take a listen.

55
00:02:51.660 --> 00:02:52.660
They're not going to let me read at all.

56
00:02:52.660 --> 00:02:53.660
They will not let me understandably, I guess, cross the border and take a look at what's

57
00:02:53.660 --> 00:03:04.660
going on in Ukraine.

58
00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:09.180
Ladies and gentlemen, I gave me a list here.

59
00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:14.860
The first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O'Donnell of NBC.

60
00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:15.860
I'll take your questions.

61
00:03:15.860 --> 00:03:21.060
And as usual, folks, they gave me a list of the people I'm going to call on.

62
00:03:21.060 --> 00:03:22.980
Any guess as to who they is, Emily?

63
00:03:22.980 --> 00:03:27.220
I feel like we should amend those stickers that are on all the gas things instead of

64
00:03:27.220 --> 00:03:28.220
I did this.

65
00:03:28.220 --> 00:03:29.220
It should be like I did this.

66
00:03:29.220 --> 00:03:31.780
And then underneath that, they told me to.

67
00:03:31.780 --> 00:03:34.460
They my biggest pet peeve.

68
00:03:34.460 --> 00:03:38.360
Grammatically, I hate it when people say that because of that vagueness, because of the

69
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:41.660
imprecision and coming out of the mouth of the commander in chief.

70
00:03:41.660 --> 00:03:43.580
It just sounds ridiculous.

71
00:03:43.580 --> 00:03:44.580
Maybe once or twice.

72
00:03:44.580 --> 00:03:45.580
Sure.

73
00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:50.300
But what he does is vest him of the power that we the people put into his hands.

74
00:03:50.300 --> 00:03:54.340
It makes him seem weak and ineffective and even more incompetent than he already is.

75
00:03:54.340 --> 00:03:55.500
And I'm sort of sick of it, frankly.

76
00:03:55.500 --> 00:04:00.860
I'm sick of this Illuminati, Donnie Darko, Bunny, whoever it was, like I'm out of here.

77
00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:02.460
It's just it's so annoying.

78
00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:06.460
But despite that fragility, I've always said I think President Biden's running.

79
00:04:06.460 --> 00:04:08.900
People tell me I'm crazy, but I just oh, I think he'll run.

80
00:04:08.900 --> 00:04:09.900
He won.

81
00:04:09.900 --> 00:04:10.900
He's apparently told a president.

82
00:04:10.900 --> 00:04:11.900
Oh, my God.

83
00:04:11.900 --> 00:04:12.900
That ego.

84
00:04:12.900 --> 00:04:13.900
There's no way he's going to sit down.

85
00:04:13.900 --> 00:04:14.900
Exactly.

86
00:04:15.220 --> 00:04:17.940
And he's got his crew crazy enough to dress up like a bunny to come and save him.

87
00:04:17.940 --> 00:04:23.580
I loved I loved what Charlie said, OK, now you're going to wear the bunny like they work

88
00:04:23.580 --> 00:04:24.580
this out.

89
00:04:24.580 --> 00:04:26.140
And the fact that they kind of had to shuffle.

90
00:04:26.140 --> 00:04:27.140
That's why I like this video.

91
00:04:27.140 --> 00:04:31.180
I don't know if they want to put that longer shot up again where the person in the bunny

92
00:04:31.180 --> 00:04:35.780
suit puts an arm around the president and sort of because the president actually is

93
00:04:35.780 --> 00:04:36.780
still standing there.

94
00:04:36.780 --> 00:04:37.780
He's like, no, no, Afghanistan.

95
00:04:37.780 --> 00:04:40.500
It's now the Afghan.

96
00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:42.620
I mean, look at this.

97
00:04:42.620 --> 00:04:45.820
And then he kind of goes to the next person and the bunny look.

98
00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:48.460
The bunny's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

99
00:04:48.460 --> 00:04:49.460
If he can speak.

100
00:04:49.460 --> 00:04:53.060
I think Kennedy and I are still wondering whether or not he actually hi, I'm right here,

101
00:04:53.060 --> 00:04:54.060
Mr. President.

102
00:04:54.060 --> 00:04:55.060
Susan Price.

103
00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:56.060
No complaints from the press corps.

104
00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:57.060
You think they'd complain about this?

105
00:04:57.060 --> 00:04:57.560
Let us know.

106
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.200
of access. But Charlie, if President Biden tells President Obama, I'm going to run, he may run into

107
00:05:05.200 --> 00:05:09.680
some troubles. Our brain room digged up the numbers from last time an incumbent got a primary

108
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:13.600
challenge or a serious one and landed in a contested or a brokered convention. Check this

109
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:19.760
out. So when Reagan declared a primary challenge to Ford, 41 percent was Ford's approval. Kennedy

110
00:05:19.760 --> 00:05:25.360
to Carter, Carter's approval was 32 percent. Last Quinnipiac had President Biden at 35 percent. So if

111
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:31.360
he does run, I mean, Buttigieg, I don't know. And I mean, they have nothing but bad options,

112
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:36.640
which is why which is why they're in the situation they're in. And it's and it's and of course,

113
00:05:36.640 --> 00:05:42.240
the what we're going to see this fall will be a precursor to what we see in three years. But

114
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:49.440
that that that footage of the bunny rabbit and the president is a is is the perfect video of

115
00:05:49.440 --> 00:05:57.840
this presidency and of our times. It is it is so beyond absurd. It is so ridiculous.

116
00:05:57.840 --> 00:06:02.400
And, you know, and Biden comes off, you know, he kind of comes off as sort of harmless,

117
00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:06.400
which is, of course, why President Obama picked him in the first place, because he was kind of

118
00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:10.480
harmless and he makes everything seem sort of harmless. And go back to what you're saying

119
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:16.080
about the they thing. That's a really big issue. The idea that he keeps talking about they means

120
00:06:16.080 --> 00:06:21.680
he's not president or somebody else is in charge. That's not how this whole thing works.

121
00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:27.440
The way this works is people elect somebody to be president and then they are president and they

122
00:06:27.440 --> 00:06:33.120
make the decisions or that by they I mean that person, you know, different. But but when he when

123
00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:38.720
he starts talking about they being in charge, we're in deep that's deep, deep constitutional

124
00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:44.480
because the left did not elect an empty vessel. They elected what they deemed to be a benign

125
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.680
individual, to your point about being harmless. Right. This was someone that was supposed to,

126
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:53.200
in their words, restore a semblance of of civility and and sort of bridging the gap,

127
00:06:54.080 --> 00:06:58.400
restoring decorum, peace. Again, we've we've gotten, frankly, none of those things. Everything

128
00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:03.280
has been exacerbated. Then obviously everything out of this policy has destroyed this country.

129
00:07:03.280 --> 00:07:08.320
But in terms of he himself, all he has proven himself to be is this empty vessel. And he speaks

130
00:07:08.320 --> 00:07:14.000
to that higher source, the they. And I'm not quite sure when that's going to stop,

131
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:18.880
because I don't know if we can take another three years of him essentially delegating power

132
00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:24.000
elsewhere. Speak his mind on things the day, which I would assume include the White House

133
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.480
press secretary. Yes, it does. Jen Psaki, they come in and they and they clean up after him.

134
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:34.960
So you don't even know if they are on the same page. What's scarier, a geriatric man in cognitive

135
00:07:34.960 --> 00:07:41.520
decline who actually has power or the faceless people around him who are pulling the levers

136
00:07:41.520 --> 00:07:47.200
and ruining our lives. I think both of those are bad options. Just last week, you had Jen

137
00:07:47.200 --> 00:07:50.880
Psaki cleaning up. He said he was going to Ukraine and she said we are not letting him.

138
00:07:50.880 --> 00:07:56.560
So to your point, press secretary is among the we I would think. And I think and I think voters

139
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.920
are getting to the point where they sort of miss the the calm days of the Trump administration.

140
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:04.400
I think so. On to something there, Charlie, just.
