We know an interview went very, very wrong when the people who support the person being interviewed go silent on social media.
This is what has happened since Joe-Joe Biden’s 60-Minutes interview aired Sunday night.
This from thelibertydaily.com.
Biggest Takeaways:
1. Biden Thinks His Disapproval Rating Is High Because the People Have Mental Issues
Scott Pelley said:
Your approval rating in the country is well below 50% and I wonder why you think that is
Biden said:
It’s a really difficult time. We’re in an inflection point in the history of this country. We’re gonna make decisions and we’re making decisions now that are gonna determine what we’re gonna look like 10 years from now.
Biden continued:
The impact on the psyche of the American people as the consequence of the pandemic is profound…think of how that has changed everything – you know, people’s attitudes about themselves, their families about the state of the nation, about the state of their communities and so there is a lot of uncertainty out there.
This is ludicrous.

2. If China Invades Taiwan, It’s War and We’re In It
Pelley said while narrating:
On the same day we spoke to the president, Putin met with China’s leader, Xi Jinping. There’s concern that Russia’s attempt to force reunification with Ukraine could inspire China to attack the island of Taiwan. U.S. policy since 1979 has been to recognize Taiwan as part of China, but remain silent on whether the U.S. military would defend the democratic government there. This is among the places where our interview runs into controversy.
Pelley asked Biden:
What should Chinese President Xi know about your commitment to Taiwan?”
Biden responded:
We agree with what we signed onto a long time ago. And that there’s one China policy, and Taiwan makes their own judgments about their independence. We are not moving — we’re not encouraging their being independent. We’re not — that — that’s their decision.
Pelley asked:
But would U.S. Forces defend the island?
Biden responded:
Yes, if in fact there was an unprecedented attack.
Pelley said that after the interview a White House official told the show that U.S. policy has not changed and they refused to say if the U.S. Military would defend Taiwan.
Pelley pressed:
So unlike Ukraine, to be clear, sir, U.S. Forces, U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion?
Biden doubled-down”
Yes.
President Biden tells 60 Minutes that U.S. men and women would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion. However, after our interview, a White House official told us that U.S. policy on Taiwan has not changed. https://t.co/ANg54LifSH pic.twitter.com/V5qjoqF36T

3. Biden May Not Run in 2024
The New York Post reported:
The elderly president made the remarks during his appearance on “60 Minutes” on Sunday night, responding when asked whether he’s made a “firm decision” on whether to run in 2024.
Biden said in response, reiterating a statement he’s made in the past when asked if he plans to run for reelection:
Look, my intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again.
“But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.
60 Min: "Are you committed to running again?"
Biden: "My intention, as I said to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention. But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen,” pic.twitter.com/3R3W3I8e9Z

4. Biden’s Mental Acuity Was Poor When Asked About His Mental Acuity
Remember, the stumbling answer he gives here would have been called proof of unfitness for a Republican, and the media and democrats lurched for the 25th Amendment over practically nothing when Trump was in office.
With Biden they will not only act like he TOTALLY NAILED IT on this question, they pretend that anyone who points out that he barely got a thought out is completely crazy.
The media being in the tank [for any democrat] affects every aspect of everything, so of course this.
Joe-Joe Biden:
Watch me. And I mean honest to God, that’s all I think, watch me. If you think I don’t have the energy level or the, the mental acuity, then, you know, that’s one thing. It’s another thing if you just watch and, and, you know, keep my schedule. Do what I’m doing.
5. Biden Thinks the Pandemic Is Over
CBS’ Scott Pelley asked:
Is the pandemic over?
Joe-Joe Biden:
The pandemic is over. We still have a problem with COVID. We’re still doing a lot of work on it. But the pandemic is over. If you notice, no one’s wearing mask, everybody seems to be in pretty good shape. And so I think it’s changing and I think this is a perfect example.
Note: Biden decided to declare that “the pandemic is over” regarding the coronavirus.
Also note: In February 2020, the Trump administration declared a “public health emergency” due to the coronavirus outbreak. The announcement came 3 days after the World Health Organization declared a Global Health Emergency.
6. When Asked About Inflation, Biden Gave Perhaps the Worst Answer Imaginable
Biden: "inflation rate month-to-month was just up an inch."
Reporter: "You're not arguing 8.3% is good news?"
Biden: “…You're acting like all of a sudden 'my God it went to 8.2%’”
Reporter: "It's the highest rate in 40 years."pic.twitter.com/KdvyH6J7L4

Concerning bad economic news, there are two ways for leadership to handle it:
The right way is to admit the truth and then lay out a quantifiable plan for how to improve things.
Americans are very forgiving of politicians who speak plainly to them.
On the other hand, the wrong way is to simply pretend like everything is actually great and that anyone who doesn’t think so is an idiot.
We can all see which strategy Biden has chosen.
The dismissive response about an 8.3 inflation rate that is crushing the poor and middle-class is irritating to watch.
[H]is excuse doesn’t even make sense. Who cares if the rate only went up “an inch” if the overall rate is still sky-high? Core inflation continues to rise, mainly driven by food and housing (including rent) prices.

7. Biden’s Handlers Are Scrambling
In fact, within an hour of the interview premiering, the first clarification had already dropped regarding comments made about defending Taiwan from a Chinese attack. That was the second time in the last few months that the [Obiden Regime] has had to walk back Biden’s comments on the subject.
Prediction: This will be the last time we ever see Joe-Joe Biden allowing an interview with anyone of mass propaganda media prominence like 60-Minutes.
His team of handlers must have known he would botch it, but this certainly went far beyond their wildest expectations.
God speed to Conservatism.
And God speed to the Take Backm of Our Nation.
