- This was a TV debate unlike any other. Excruciating doesn’t even cover it.
Whilst Trump confidently lied his way through the facts, Biden barely reached the end of his sentences without meandering off into a far distant phrase.
It was painful to watch and it will raise serious questions now amongst senior Democrats. Can they, must they replace Joe Biden as their presidential candidate?
And if so who will be the first top figure to say it out loud?
We take you through the most painful moments of the night and the conversations after the debate and ask if the voters will forgive this more easily - or if it’s time to take drastic action to save the Democratic Party from disaster in November.

Where is Sir Graham Brady and the 1922 Committee when you need them? 😆
Exactly
Unfortunately the Americans don’t have the men in grey suits to remove a president.
‘Like everyone’s grandpa’. No. Not mine. That’s an ageist comment.
One of the sad things too is seeing all the Biden supporters in denial about how bad it was.
Bang on commentary on Jill. She sounded deranged. After literally helping him down the stairs at the end . . .
Yes cringeworthy enabler 😢
Biden or Trump ??
Who lost ? The American people 😢😢
How on earth did it take you this long to "switch to the other side"? Biden has been like this for years!
They like to pretend/believe they are impartial and objective, but in reality they're incredibly partisan (as centrists) so it takes a lot for them to accept criticism of one of their own.
To be fair to Trump, he could have gone all guns blazing against Biden's incoherent responses. He didn't do that and that has to be to his credit.
Credit where credit is due!? Idiot.
For political commentators, it’s taken you a long time to notice this.
The fact that everyone is surprised demonstrates how they have been in a echo chamber of denial.
everyone knew he was senile, but not this bad.
@@niallrussell7184Niall, I really don’t think so. The signs have been there for a long time. And it’s only going to get worse. People saying they’re surprised about this are simply deluded or just haven’t been paying attention!
I'd rather have a senile Biden with his pants on his head and chewing gum on his nose than Putins favourite Mrs Doubtfire.
@@niallrussell7184 Don’t be silly anyone who can’t see he has Dementia the man can barely walk straight and needs help with continence care on occasion .
@@michaelodowd4807 dementia can apply to any age.. it's the same as senility in old age.. Yeah I was saying he has dementia.
I don’t know how the democrats have let it get this far..
The party is full of cowards and sycophants. The republicans too, but it’s much more important.
To be fair to Trump, he could have gone all guns blazing against Biden's incoherent responses. He didn't do that and that has to be to his credit.
@@treble20 muted mics
They are the biggest gaslighters.
Goes to show that’s actually other people that are controlling the strings.
I like both candidates but can't we find someone older?
Carter only had one term. He's eligible
Both men are quite unfit for public office.
The reasons differ, but the reality applies to both.
Tragic.
Comic, but also tragic.
One candidate hires on qualifications and work experience; one hires on nepotism and “sycophantery”. Easy choice.
@@fionanov1948 Sadly, not an easy choice.
Both are quite unfit for public office.
Both are unfit for several (but different) reasons.
Both were (or will be) chosen as candidates by massive political organisations.
I believe the DNC may make it hard for Biden to stand.
I hope they do.
If he thinks he is the right person, we can add delusion to his list of woes.
This is abuse to me ..his wife and family should help have a great retirement.
As if they haven't told him time is up. He's a stubborn old white man
But his wife seems to drive him on. It seems that she wants to be on the top and does not want to let go. If she told him that now stop and retire, because of your health and your reputation, he would probably do it.
Put it another way - if Joe Biden was having an ordinary job interview, would you hire him ? 5:27
Elder Abuse . He is too old and frail to continue . Also he has the Nuclear Football and the Codes .
They have the codes.
He needs help, and to wipe.
It’s even worse if trump gets access to the codes again
@@NoreenRaftery-oq6jo Excellent point .
No. I've watched Joe Biden in his political career, he spoke from his chest. He was fluent.
Now, he's not anywhere how he was. It's sad. He should respect his people. Biden ego is first. That's wrong.
I don’t think it’s his ego, it’s the DNC’s preoccupation with keeping progressives out of the Oval Office.
100%
It’s simple, the democrats simply must replace him as soon as possible
Sorry, this made me cringe, i watched this debate, it was so sad to see biden as he was. it was like watching a horror movie through your fingers, at 81 he needs to step down, America is supposed to be the guardian of the free world.....and we are relying on a 78 and an 81 year old to hold the fate of the free world in their hands...
Watching that debate was like being ball-gagged and tied to the the bridge of the titanic.
American President - "Between PM and Monarch"
Insightful comment
Emily and Jon are fantastic, no offense to Louis. By the way how are people surprised by Biden? He's been like this for 2-3 years now.
What hapoened? You sound a little downbeat. Why would you ever think that a man in his condition should have, and continue to have his finger on the button that can end your and your families lives? Over these past months, have you bothered to think about who has been running the country and the world, and the possible catasrophic consequences. Could this have something to do with the mess the world is in?
The signs have been there for a long time. And it’s only going to get worse. People saying they’re surprised about this are simply deluded or just haven’t been paying attention!
I want to show some empathy but, this guy is cooked. Trump, effortlesly, sadly, absolutely rinsed him.
Behind the sofa. On another continent. USA is sneezing and it spreads.
Why are we grinning and laughing at trump lying? We should be scared. Scared and furious. This will not end well.
Remember Brezhnev and other Soviet leaders who often had ‘a cold’!
I didn't see the debate, I planned all along to listen to your take on it. I just kept thinking 'make it stop, make it stop'!! Really enjoyed your analysis and conversation. Thanks, I'm really enjoying your work.
Jon Stewart should run. He would actually be great.
This debate instantly handed Trump the advantage.
I suspect that people will not shift to Trump but many democrats will find it hard to vote for Biden - i.e. - Biden's vote will drop rather be transferred.
You only just realised??? SERIOUSLY!!! what have you been watching?
It's a fascinating example into how bias affects world view, anyone with a balanced view could see this coming.
@@ajc3ethey're idiots......
Felt sorry for him (Biden). He’s approaching the end of his life and he should not be in such a high pressure role. Should be at home or enjoying life with his wife and family.
Emily’s analysis of this is simply ludicrous & blind. It’s not an image, it’s the reality of who he is right now.
It's truly shocking isn't it. "He has a natural stutter" "he naturally looks to the left" "he was given too many facts by his aides to remember" what is she talking about?! It's embarrassing. And what we saw of Biden in this debate is nothing new - he's been a senile wreck for years.
yes, there is a lot of cope there. This is who he has been for quite a while and the people close to him must have known. The question is who is running the US right now?
The night Sleepy Joe became Comatose Joe. Hard viewing.
Apart from the national and global take on this ............. what sort of wife would let her husband continue - not only let him, but encourage him to carry on? Is she just a political figure in this? If you loved your husband you would do the right thing and save him from this ridicule. He couldn't do it if she wasn't there (not even in the background, but in the foreground) getting him 'set up' for each day. Just get a carer in, and let him live out the rest of his days in peace. At the D Day celebrations last week all the leaders were ready to catch him if he fell, and to lead him where he had to go next.
Trump has a different sort of madness!
I think that Britain no longer has a functioning democracy (we don't even have a real democracy any more), but it doesn't compare to this - yet!!!!
I dread to think what's going to happen after this! The world, let alone the US, won't survive another Trump term!
Yeah, I know, with Ukraine and Palestine/Israel…
Oh wait. You manipulated fool
Oh my stop being such a drama queen! Trump's fine! You have been listening too much CNN because you sound like them. Somebody intelligently said "Democrats don't hate Trump, they are pro power" and Trump is in their way.
Typical leftist catastrophising
TRUMP THE BEST/WE LOVE HIM 🇺🇸
California is a disaster/million of homeless/only for Hollywood elite
UPDATE: Biden said he's going to fight on, Trump will be very happy.
Biden is betraying us by going on. Selfish old man
What's strange is that right now as this podcast has come out, Biden is on the campaign trail in Rayleigh, N. Carolina, and seems (apart from a bit of a cough), very different from the man we saw last night... I'm not sure what to make of it
Parallel reality
Yeah I thought that as well. But sadly I do think it’s time to switch Biden for someone more capable.
@@hawsrulebegin7768 I do think so too - you simply can't afford another outing like yesterday
Drugs.
@@sabre22b if he was taking drugs for performance enhancement he’d have taken a pile of it for the debate! You can’t even get the attack rumours to make sense.
Im genuinely shocked that Biden hasnt voluntarily stepped down. I always thought that he was, at least, an honest and well-meaning guy. It's crazy that he wouldn't step aside, it must be pure ego to not do so.
hes a power hungry war criminal thats commiting a gen0cide, hes never been honest, or well meaning
most likely, it's unconscious incompetence, unwisely supported by his wife and close supporters. At this stage someone needs to tell Joe, "it's over"...
Actually the 25th amendment can removes him on incompetence if the cabinet vote that he can't mentally do the job.
Emily you have not been eesistant you have been atrocious in your view ,all the experts say they were amazed by his performance, but no member of the public were amazed we all new what was happening
Neither of you get any points for waking up three years after the fact. You’ve been in your own bubble.
I stayed up to watch the first 15 mins but it was just so obvious that watching Biden he is just not up to this, I had to switch it off. I get the impression now that even though he has all this experience but his age, Trump, the ongoing wars that he is dealing with, congress, Senate and also his son's trial and conviction is now taking its toll. He does not have the stamina to deal with all this.
I could only last 10 before turning off.
He won't go, he'll hang on with everything he's got. It's been obvious for years that he's not all there, how can anyone have missed it.
No one missed it, they just deliberately ignored it or lied about it. This is on the Democratic Party who selected him to run despite a plethora of better options
25th Amendment section 4 must be being spoken about… Democrats can’t allow that to happen and must act quickly
Does he even want to do this? Surely at that age you really don't want to be wheeled out and propped up like that
"American Democracy" ?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣That quote was even funnier than the whole debate. Actually reminded me of the 2 old gits from the Muppets!
Everyone knows that Joe’s mind has been mush for ages. When you hear enough people come out in chorus and say ‘he’s sharp, focused, and great on the detail,’ like they’re reading from a script, you know it’s coz they are.
IDK, I'm English, but it was painful to watch Biden.
This guy has the red button under his finger. Imagine if he's woken up at 4 AM with an attack from China on Taiwan?
If Trump returns to the White House he will most likely Nike somewhere .
From what I gather, the Democrats have decided to drown together.
Most people were watching what was happening with Biden rather than focusing on Trump who seemed so much sharper.
Watching both of them reminded me of Max Headroom, they act like computer generated animations and not real people any more.
Totally right on the “if you carry your own bag” line. That was supposed to be a funny line but the way it was delivered was done in the completely wrong way.
Great presentation from 2 top journalists. I genuinely feel more informed about the possibilities and how American politics can or could work in a situation like this.
What nobody is talking is that Biden not even prepared to finish his term.
This, to my mind, was the terrible night that decided the American presidential election in Donald Trump's favour, regardless of Biden being replaced or not.
It's so cringe when Biden says his catchphrase like 'malarkey' and expects like... everyone to smile and chuckle and nod and knowing he's rehearsed it and had wormtongues in his ear telling him how great it'll land and how everyone loves it when he says malarkey and honestly it's just so sad
uahghhgh 'you answered all the questions you KNEW all the facts' huhhghhghhh no let him retire please
Today at a rally they've pumped him up with prompts. He sounded ok. And a weird crowd of young people screaming for this old man. Given him false hopes.
Comparing democratically elected union "barons" who represent millions of workers with billionaire funded superdelegates is absurd. Let no one tell you this podcast isn't right wing!
My thoughts exactly anytime I hear about Union “barons” or “bosses” my alarm bells go off
Done this early to allow it to be made clear internally that he is not fit and allow the Democrats to bring in their best candidate and it’s not KH..
Won't happen. Biden won't go. Too much ego
I have always said this, Pete Buttigieg should be the Democrat nominee. Joe Biden should have been a one term President.
Buttigieg would have destroyed Trump yesterday.
@@jamieparry6420 He has to be the nominee. Simple as that. They have two months to make it happen
Actually they have weeks, the closing date 4 ballots in sm states is July & u need tens of thousands of signatures
Joe even promised to be one term, Jill persuaded him to run, bad choice
If you want to know how bad buttagieg has been as secretary of transportation ask the citizens of east Palestine,Ohio.
The big question seems to be, if Newsom steps in at the Convention in August, is 3 months long enough to cement a picture of who he is and what kind of President he would be.
I would absolutely yes. People do not pay as much attention to politics as they used to and he would be an interesting and new proposition. He’d get a debate in September which I’d expect him to win and I think there would be a lot of support for someone who has governed a border state and the fifth largest economy in the world (California).
Waiting to 2028 would be a mistake for Newsom. He’d be old news by then.
I am beginning to think that Biden made a terrible mistake in holding this debate.
If he was ill, he should have cancelled.
Jill Biden is turning into Lady MacBeth!
Harris was pathetic against Anderson Cooper.
The powers that be have been telling us he's fine when anyone with eyes and ears have known otherwise.
This debate has shown the truth about Biden.
And now the mainstream media have to make all sorts of excuses.
Painful. This isn't going to fly. Maybe for the best?
Excellent analysis by both
What a great analysis of the debate! Just subscribed and liked.
Emily.. you are so right....
Biden started the golf thing
In 1974, it was senior Republicans in the House and the Senate who told Richard Nixon that it was time to go. That was the result of their personalities, not of a formal institutional process.
Anyone remember 'Let Bartlet be Bartlet'? Ah, happy days.
will the GOP come to its senses and dump their Felon.
You care to name another Republican that’s gonna grab at least 60 million votes in November ? More after this farce.
Miss the Soviet Union do you? The glory days of the killing fields? Or are you just a useful idiot?
Biden sounded like Lyle, the old farmer from Napoleon Dynamite.
Talons?
25th Amendment
Go, please, Joe.
Gary Newsome to step in
Nah Pete Buttigieg would be better, Gary Newsome would be gruesome
Gavin*
Got to love Jon Sopel. He spent 4 years trying to explain on his well-paid BBC broadcasts that Trump was doing things that no politician would do. Jon's so intelligent, that he failed to realise that Trump is not a politician. Bless. Next Jon will be explaining why the moon is made of cheese, and the Pope does things that no muslim would do.
It's 4 months away, don't panic people are like goldfish by polling day no one will remember
I support Biden, but you are clutching at straws, this performance will be on TV & Social Media till November unless, Biden steps aside.
@@Somaliland44 and he’s suddenly going to start getting better? He’s only trotted out for 5 minutes here and there up until now for years. He’s been like this since 2020, just steadily worse.
Remember, he didn’t campaign in that elect, just did short interviews in his basement. All he had to do was debate Trump 3 times, with Trump under immense pressure from the job, but C-19 and a very hostile press. Biden has had the opposite.
You reap what you sow, and Trump is your harvest. Enjoy.
Wishful thinking
You’re right, it’s fine. Kamala will take over anyway at so,e point. So why the panic. He’s been declining for ten years.
I feel so sorry for the American people if u want to vote the democratic way would you endorse Biden, Trump is awful, an absolute terror of far right, if the American people do nothing, no vote means acquiescence to the far right. Pls Biden step down and give the American people a chance
Is it me or does sopes look likes he’s just rolled out of bed and maitliss looks she’s off to Buckingham palace?😂also maitliss is totally winning the interior design game 🤷🏼♂️
No not a fan of the decor, too dark for me Emily and Jon way too boring😂like what they both have to say though.
@kezchantv how shallow your mind is if that’s all you’ve got to say on such an important issue!
It's the content of their analysis that's interesting, not their interior deco. Yes, I agree very shallow.
Great video!
Coupled with the Supreme Court’s ruling and now this I have serious concerns about the future of America.
Great analysis and discussion
Step forward Pete Buttigieg…
Nah, Gavin Newsom is the logical choice.
Pete Buttigiege is the most uncharismatic, corrupt career politician in the Democratic Party. He claimed he won Iowa before the results came out when he was running in the Dem primaries, deliberatly so the media would take all the focus away from Bernie Sanders. Hes a joke.
They would both be destroyed by Trump. Get Jon Stewart to run, he would wipe the floor with Trump. Who cares if he’s not a politician, Trump wasn’t was he.
I just wanted to say this this this is the best political podcas podcas p….p…..p… Medicare…Thank you.
Anyone who can see how dangerous Trump is can’t also be blind to how uninspiring Biden is.
Fantastic coverage of the debate, my vote is now up in the air, would love to see you cover this more
Let’s see how they spin this
I wouldn't trust either one with the future of the free world.
Imagine what every soldier in America must be thinking this morning about their Commander and Chief.
