The White House is also battling the media over that
report on President Biden's mental state.
A spokesman for the president,
if you can believe it,
sent a letter to the head of the White House
Correspondents Association saying,
quote, many outlets have reported striking inaccuracies that misrepresent the
report's conclusion about the president.
And reporters in the White House briefing room have asked
questions that include false content or are based on false
premises.
Joe Concha is the Fox News contributor and he joins
me now.
Joe, So you have Ian Sam scolding the White House
press corps yesterday,
singling out
CNNCBS, the New York Times,
the Wall Street Journal, The Associated Press.
He said that all of those news organizations misunderstand the
special
counsel's report. Really.
Yeah, Carly, all of you are wrong.
But we're right. I mean,
it's amateur hour over at the White House press office
again.
I mean, talk about panic in all caps.
And what this move by Ian Sam's does is continue
to keep this story,
which is one of the most damaging to this president
and this administration in the news cycle,
even longer. Here are the facts in his conversation with
Robert Herr,
Joe Biden could not remember what year he became vice
president.
He could not remember when he exited the vice presidency.
And when Biden himself broached his late son Beau,
he reportedly could not remotely remember what year he died
so Ian Sam's could attempt to work the refs all
he wants.
The bottom line is that nearly nine in ten Americans,
according to a new ABC News poll,
do not think this president has the mental capacity to
be president for another term.
That is also devastating. And once an impression like being
too old and too mentally foregone is made with voters.
That's the type of toothpaste you can't put back in
the tube.
Carly. Yeah, I think that's a great point,
Joe. You have to wonder what Ian Sam's goal was
here.
It was clearly to counter this report and try and
get the Biden
administration's narrative in the blood bloodstream.
But what really happened is he just extended this story
even longer,
because now we're talking about it again.
And now you have Fox News
has confirmed this reporting that it wasn't Robert Hurr who
asked about Bill Biden's death,
it was actually President Biden who brought it up himself.
So what about that?
And what about that? It seems to be a crutch
for him whenever he has to grab on to something
when he's trying to make a point,
it's almost like a sympathy card that he plays over
and over.
And it's horrible that his son died,
of course, and that happened in 2015.
But again, this president, when you watch him,
he always says watch me,
we are watching you, Sir.
And I watched his schedule this week and for three
straight days.
Carly, he had nothing on his public schedule and he's
getting the daily intelligence briefing on 2 occasions
in the afternoon. Why? That should be the first thing
that you receive when you wake up early in the
morning like we do.
But this is a president clearly that by
2028, the 86 year old version of Joe Biden,
what are we going to get at that point if
he wins
the presidency again in in re election.
I I don't want to think about that.
And I think many Americans are rejecting that notion as
well.
Well, here's something from the president yesterday,
Joe. He revealed what he's giving up for Lent to
watch this quick clip here.
All right. What are you giving up for Lent?
President
Biden, he said. You guys.
Meaning he's he's given, he's given up the media for
Lent and talking to journalists.
It has been 123 days,
though, since the president sat down for a major network
interview.
So it doesn't even look like he needs to give
it up for LED.
Joe
Carly, the whole point of Lent is giving up something
you do or eat or drink on a regular basis.
How could Joe Biden give up the press when he
almost never speaks to them?
I mean, remember on Tuesday he said he'd take questions
in the White House press corps on Wednesday or Thursday.
Don't believe that there happened.
And to your point, he's never hasn't done a television
interview since October.
So that's where we're at.
At this point. It's just a joke at this,
Joe, we're saving the best news for last because I
would love to wish you a happy birthday today.
I'm being told today is your birthday.
You're turning 39 years old again.
How are you going to celebrate the weekend?
The anniversary of my 39th birthday has come again.
And look, I'm going to go clubbing.
Carly, hopefully you can join me.
Maybe Todd. We could. We could get wherever he is
as well and we'll
we'll have some fun. Just like we did when we
actually were 39.
Actually, you're not even 39 yet.
I'm jealous. I am not bottle service for your 39th
birthday
in Joe. Happy birthday. Have a great weekend.
