00:00Okay, so while we've been looking at some of the things President Biden did do, one
00:03of the things he didn't do was to step out of the 2024 race in time to give another candidate
00:09a better shot at winning the election. And David Axelrod, I don't know if you know him,
00:15a former advisor to President Barack Obama, said, quote, I do. Okay, well, what he says
00:20all Joe Biden wanted to be remembered for was the great things he did for this country.
00:24But at least in the short run, they've been eclipsed by his ill-conceived decision to
00:29run and by that he means to run again in the 2020 election. How damaging do you think
00:34that decision was by President Biden to his legacy?
00:38I thought it was extremely damaging. I agree with David. That makes me and David not very
00:44popular among our peers, in some circles. But I agree with that assessment. I have been
00:51saying that for a long time. I thought that he should not have run for a second term.
00:57And to be honest with you, as I always am, I actually fault his senior advisors in that
01:04case, because I think that they did a disservice by encouraging him to run, Tom.
