James Carville Calls Biden ‘Most Tragic Figure in Modern American Politics’: ‘He Knows He F**ked Up’

CARVILLE I agree with ░░░░░░░░ But even if I ░░░░░░░░ a kid and or ░░░░░░░░ did he did do ░░░░░░░░ things you know a ░░░░░░░░ of the stuff he ░░░░░░░░ was when he was ░░░░░░░░ addicted okay it was ░░░░░░░░ was not it was ░░░░░░░░ overblown I would have ░░░░░░░░ my kid no matter ░░░░░░░░ If they were saying ░░░░░░░░ were going to have ░░░░░░░░ hour cell protection but ░░░░░░░░ were going to be ░░░░░░░░ jail for 2 years ░░░░░░░░ way that I wouldn ░░░░░░░░ have pardoned one of ░░░░░░░░ own children And everything ░░░░░░░░ say I completely agree ░░░░░░░░ But the central point ░░░░░░░░ all of this it ░░░░░░░░ of this is the ░░░░░░░░ tragic figure in American ░░░░░░░░ in my lifetime is ░░░░░░░░ Biden right All right ░░░░░░░░ he said I d ░░░░░░░░ pardon a kid Okay ░░░░░░░░ don t I don ░░░░░░░░ believe any when anybody ░░░░░░░░ I never had sex ░░░░░░░░ that person I d ░░░░░░░░ pardon my kid I ░░░░░░░░ t pay any attention ░░░░░░░░ it because I think ░░░░░░░░ lies about sex and ░░░░░░░░ is going to do ░░░░░░░░ they re gonna do ░░░░░░░░ their own children But ░░░░░░░░ different scenario would be ░░░░░░░░ it were September of ░░░░░░░░ August said that he ░░░░░░░░ t going to run ░░░░░░░░ we would have won ░░░░░░░░ election and it wouldn ░░░░░░░░ have been that close ░░░░░░░░ we d have had ░░░░░░░░ many freaking talented people ░░░░░░░░ were running And he ░░░░░░░░ be sitting here right ░░░░░░░░ getting ready to leave ░░░░░░░░ a high note there ░░░░░░░░ be naming commissions to ░░░░░░░░ out what we re ░░░░░░░░ to name after him ░░░░░░░░ would be the toast ░░░░░░░░ Washington it would be ░░░░░░░░ Democratic inauguration coming up ░░░░░░░░ a new Democratic president ░░░░░░░░ have sort of gotten ░░░░░░░░ with commuting any sentence ░░░░░░░░ Hunter Biden got and ░░░░░░░░ would have been minimal ░░░░░░░░ There would have been ░░░░░░░░ pushback but you know ░░░░░░░░ the interest of the ░░░░░░░░ family and President Biden ░░░░░░░░ long and distinguished service ░░░░░░░░ the community I m ░░░░░░░░ commute the sentence You ░░░░░░░░ t even had to ░░░░░░░░ pardon it It s ░░░░░░░░ I just cannot get ░░░░░░░░ from the fact It ░░░░░░░░ somebody that I really ░░░░░░░░ and admired my my ░░░░░░░░ political life I could ░░░░░░░░ remember when in the ░░░░░░░░ reading the first edition ░░░░░░░░ the Act of American ░░░░░░░░ about this guy in ░░░░░░░░ 30 years old elected ░░░░░░░░ Senate from Delaware and ░░░░░░░░ of this is f ░░░░░░░░ self inflicted it s ░░░░░░░░ it s sad And ░░░░░░░░ course he s everything ░░░░░░░░ him it ll be ░░░░░░░░ years before somebody comes ░░░░░░░░ and talks about all ░░░░░░░░ the stunning things the ░░░░░░░░ that he s brought ░░░░░░░░ the stunning stuff he ░░░░░░░░ done Man it ll ░░░░░░░░ a while It s ░░░░░░░░ sad It didn t ░░░░░░░░ to be this way ░░░░░░░░ brought it all on ░░░░░░░░ And I know the ░░░░░░░░ around him whether at ░░░░░░░░ beck and call or ░░░░░░░░ employees the consultants his ░░░░░░░░ who according to press ░░░░░░░░ were surprised you know ░░░░░░░░ really took on a ░░░░░░░░ of understand all of ░░░░░░░░ But at the bottom ░░░░░░░░ this Joe Biden is ░░░░░░░░ will continue to be ░░░░░░░░ most tragic figure in ░░░░░░░░ American politics I don ░░░░░░░░ think there s any ░░░░░░░░ about that So I ░░░░░░░░ nitpick just a little ░░░░░░░░ I think the the ░░░░░░░░ analogy is somewhat somewhat ░░░░░░░░ Nixon was a crook ░░░░░░░░ is is the most ░░░░░░░░ person that you could ░░░░░░░░ I mean he s ░░░░░░░░ a Washington creature he ░░░░░░░░ cozy with lobbyists but ░░░░░░░░ don t think he ░░░░░░░░ got a I don ░░░░░░░░ think he s a ░░░░░░░░ man all right Lyndon ░░░░░░░░ brought a lot of ░░░░░░░░ and I do think ░░░░░░░░ s a but he ░░░░░░░░ bad po Biden was ░░░░░░░░ a crook and he ░░░░░░░░ no bad policies No ░░░░░░░░ policies that s a ░░░░░░░░ blanket statement He wasn ░░░░░░░░ brought down by bad ░░░░░░░░ He was that s ░░░░░░░░ makes him so staggeringly ░░░░░░░░ And of course what ░░░░░░░░ did I don t ░░░░░░░░ he had any choice ░░░░░░░░ do what he did ░░░░░░░░ his son Hunter Now ░░░░░░░░ know I m sure ░░░░░░░░ given his whole life ░░░░░░░░ is so tragic his ░░░░░░░░ and kid auto accident ░░░░░░░░ man like died with ░░░░░░░░ an aneurism all right ░░░░░░░░ his son Beau who ░░░░░░░░ worshiped who was apparently ░░░░░░░░ a terrific human being ░░░░░░░░ a Iraq war veteran ░░░░░░░░ going to be governor ░░░░░░░░ Delaware you know died ░░░░░░░░ a brain tumor I ░░░░░░░░ when I go back ░░░░░░░░ I think about Joe ░░░░░░░░ and his life and ░░░░░░░░ he meant and how ░░░░░░░░ is an honest man ░░░░░░░░ did so many good ░░░░░░░░ and I will never ░░░░░░░░ course I won t ░░░░░░░░ he will never live ░░░░░░░░ will never live to ░░░░░░░░ him get justice And ░░░░░░░░ s all so f ░░░░░░░░ self inflicted I mean ░░░░░░░░ you know with Doris ░░░░░░░░ Goodwin you know she ░░░░░░░░ a very soft spot ░░░░░░░░ Johnson he got roped ░░░░░░░░ something by all of ░░░░░░░░ smart people you know ░░░░░░░░ David Halbertons the best ░░░░░░░░ the brightest People ought ░░░░░░░░ read that five times ░░░░░░░░ right That is the ░░░░░░░░ searing indictment of just ░░░░░░░░ following credentialism that you ░░░░░░░░ ever think of And ░░░░░░░░ I don t just ░░░░░░░░ actually feel for Biden ░░░░░░░░ he knows that he ░░░░░░░░ ked up And he ░░░░░░░░ t crooked He didn ░░░░░░░░ pursue bad policies He ░░░░░░░░ the most tolerant loving ░░░░░░░░ non prejudiced person you ░░░░░░░░ imagine and this is ░░░░░░░░ he s faced with ░░░░░░░░ s a f king ░░░░░░░░ Okay this goes to ░░░░░░░░ point when I say ░░░░░░░░ still say people mark ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Carlson is the ░░░░░░░░ powerful person vis a ░░░░░░░░ an incoming administration in ░░░░░░░░ Of course Kash Patel ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Carlson s business ░░░░░░░░ Of course where s ░░░░░░░░ Carlson now Oh Yeah ░░░░░░░░ And if people don ░░░░░░░░ want to wake up ░░░░░░░░ what s going on ░░░░░░░░ know go ahead and ░░░░░░░░ And in every instance ░░░░░░░░ you look at you ░░░░░░░░ see Tucker s hand ░░░░░░░░ as I pointed out ░░░░░░░░ s a thousand times ░░░░░░░░ clever than these other ░░░░░░░░ It s all about ░░░░░░░░ And we re just ░░░░░░░░ to get and most ░░░░░░░░ these people can t ░░░░░░░░ the meritocracy They can ░░░░░░░░ you know Project 2025 ░░░░░░░░ nothing but a bunch ░░░░░░░░ like second rate not ░░░░░░░░ second rate you know ░░░░░░░░ even single A ball ░░░░░░░░ academics and their number ░░░░░░░░ thing is revenge and ░░░░░░░░ Patel is going to ░░░░░░░░ them revenge and that ░░░░░░░░ is another illustration of ░░░░░░░░ s power The f ░░░░░░░░ FBI director is now ░░░░░░░░ m telling you is ░░░░░░░░ they going to give ░░░░░░░░ the names of assets ░░░░░░░░ the United States has ░░░░░░░░ Russia I really fear ░░░░░░░░ If I were cooperating ░░░░░░░░ the CIA in internal ░░░░░░░░ and I hated Putin ░░░░░░░░ would let me give ░░░░░░░░ a piece advice get ░░░░░░░░ f k out of ░░░░░░░░ They re gonna dime ░░░░░░░░ man They re gonna ░░░░░░░░ your name to Putin ░░░░░░░░ they re going to ░░░░░░░░ the names of all ░░░░░░░░ the people that we ░░░░░░░░ know his agents recruit ░░░░░░░░ sometimes they pay them ░░░░░░░░ have a lot of ░░░░░░░░ motivations some of it ░░░░░░░░ money some of it ░░░░░░░░ just don t like ░░░░░░░░ it s all kinds ░░░░░░░░ things Get in the ░░░░░░░░ of God protect your ░░░░░░░░ and get the g ░░░░░░░░ out of there because ░░░░░░░░ re gonna give these ░░░░░░░░ to Putin You can ░░░░░░░░ that coming I promise ░░░░░░░░ Get out and get ░░░░░░░░ now First of all ░░░░░░░░ Hegsmith sic is is ░░░░░░░░ I mean they may ░░░░░░░░ buttered him right He ░░░░░░░░ not going to survive ░░░░░░░░ backstory Tinker to Evers ░░░░░░░░ Chance right Trump to ░░░░░░░░ to Lara Trump in ░░░░░░░░ United States Senate You ░░░░░░░░ read this pitch 50 ░░░░░░░░ from the home plate ░░░░░░░░ re going to dump ░░░░░░░░ sic They re going ░░░░░░░░ connive to give DeSantis ░░░░░░░░ he was a Navy ░░░░░░░░ he s actually in ░░░░░░░░ but whatever okay appoint ░░░░░░░░ Secretary of Defense and ░░░░░░░░ his way out he ░░░░░░░░ going to appoint Lara ░░░░░░░░ to fulfill the whatever ░░░░░░░░ term of Marco Rubio ░░░░░░░░ is just this is ░░░░░░░░ right in front of ░░░░░░░░ s face what s ░░░░░░░░ on here And you ░░░░░░░░ DeSantis is going to ░░░░░░░░ this weird guy as ░░░░░░░░ can imagine he ll ░░░░░░░░ inaudible everything else But ░░░░░░░░ s what you re ░░░░░░░░ at You re looking ░░░░░░░░ and I suspect that ░░░░░░░░ Wiles it doesn t ░░░░░░░░ know have to be ░░░░░░░░ clever a political person ░░░░░░░░ figure out what s ░░░░░░░░ on here And so ░░░░░░░░ know alongside Margaret Chase ░░░░░░░░ and Barbara Mikulski and ░░░░░░░░ Patty Murray and all ░░░░░░░░ great female senators that ░░░░░░░░ ve had in the ░░░░░░░░ States Senate now welcome ░░░░░░░░ Lara Trump As least ░░░░░░░░ s not a to ░░░░░░░░ knowledge she s not ░░░░░░░░ drunk or serial sexual ░░░░░░░░ so I guess I ░░░░░░░░ in this world she ░░░░░░░░ probably Winston Churchill or ░░░░░░░░
