d is Cardi B and Candace Owens. Now if you're not up to date on this the two of them have had some words on social media and Candace Owens has ripped into Cardi B for her allegedly lewd performances. And then Cardi B at one point tweeted a horribly untrue rumor about Candace and her family. I won't even repeat it but just whatever you think on a scale of one to ten whatever is the worst false rum…

us. Every one of us anticipated this but Joe Biden didn't. He's the only one.

All right. Then he said he was defending the idea that people were coming here because of his policies and he goes the idea that Joe Biden said come because I heard the other day that they're coming because they know I'm a nice guy. Biden said here's the deal they're not. And I thought to myself that if that works as a defense I'm gonna use it for everything.

You know if somebody comes upon me and there's somebody who's been murdered and I'm covered with blood and I've got the murder weapon in my hand and they play the video back after I get arrested and they say well there you are on video we can watch you murdering this person.

Now it's not an accident that keeping him out of the headlines makes him more popular is it? We all agree with that right?

The news is rarely about the good thing you did. It's about your flaws.

So the less news there is and it might be that Biden has discovered something that all future presidents will use because you don't have to be Biden to be more popular by not being o

n TV. I feel the more that you show yourself the less popular you are. And I'm wondering what will happen if Biden goes into a coma. I feel as if his popularity would reach levels that we've never seen before. Like if he actually went into actual coma I'm not hoping that happens of course but if he did I think he would hit like 80 approval ratings. And if he were to actually die in office which ag…
