Top Spotify podcaster Joe Rogan posited that the Democratic Party plans to swap out Biden for a much younger candidate, but President Joe Biden laughed off the speculation.
Rogan and his guest host, Chris Williamson, discussed Special Counsel Robert Hur’s damning report that characterized the current U.S. President as a “sympathetic, well meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” as why Biden could not be charged for mishandling classified documents.
“So basically, you can’t prosecute this guy because he’s non compos mentis, but you can let him run for the President of the United States in November… so that’s the that’s the world that we’ve managed to get into,” Williamson stated.
“But don’t you think that that’s a ruse?” Rogan questioned. “Him running for president.”

When Williamson asked if he believed that Biden was going to run, Rogan responded, “No.”
“No. I think they’re going to get rid of him,” he added. “I think they’re gonna move him out, they’re gonna force him to step down. That’s what I think.”
Rogan has an idea about which politician the Democratic party would replace Biden with.
“If I had a guess, and it’s just speculation, I’d say they’re setting up Gavin Newsom for it,” he remarked. “That’s what I think.”
The comedian noted that “more and more” information is coming to light about controversies tied to Biden, including is potential involvement with Burisma, and his honorary professor job.
“Where the Chinese donated to [the University of Pennsylvania] and he got a million dollar a year gig, where he didn’t even have to show up.”
According to Fox News, Biden became the Benjamin Franklin Presidential Practice Professor at the University of Pennsylvania after his stint as Vice President.
However, he only gave twelve lectures and never taught a course to earn the $900,000 he collected from the school.
“That’s old school. That’s like mafia stuff,” Rogan chuckled. “He never even went there.”
He compared Biden’s teaching position to a “mob job,” where “no-show jobs” were created within construction projects to “funnel” money into the pockets of organized crime members.
Williamson said that he feels bad for “how rough” it must be to be Biden, when he’s “failing” and his “mental faculties aren’t there.”
They both think that Biden is being drugged on a daily basis to be able to perform.
Rogan speculated that his handlers are pumping “IV testosterone and cocaine right into his system” every morning.
Rogan said he bets that Biden “doesn’t do much” and has his cabinet “take care of everything.”
He also brought up how it has been well documented that White House staffers use very pointed cue cards to moderate what the President says and does in public settings.
“It’s amazing… well he just can’t keep a thought in his head when he starts talking about things,” Rogan detailed.
“He forgets what he’s talking about all the time. He just says well whatever and just drifts off.”
Biden didn’t exactly inspire confidence when he was confronted by reporter’s about his three-day California fundraising trip as he was headed to Marine One.
“You’re going to California. Is this about coming up with a Plan B for 2024 — does Gavin need to stand by?” One of them asked.
“Are you ready?” Biden chuckled as he answered nonsensically. “Well I’m looking for— I’m looking at you. We’re looking at you.”
Reporter to President Biden:
"Who has the better chance in November? Nikki Haley or Donald Trump?"
President Biden:
"Oh I don't care".
Who do you all think would have a better chance in November? Be honest!
My personal opinion is that Haley would have a better chance, if… pic.twitter.com/oTATSU6ati

When journalists attempted to press him more on the subject, he became frustrated and said “hey, woah, woah, woah, woah,” rather than answering.
“What I came to tell you was we’d be announcing sanctions on Russia,” hours after his staff announced it earlier in the day. “We’ll have a major package announced on Friday.”
He did take a final question about the upcoming election. “Who would you rather challenge in November; Nikki Haley or Donald Trump?” A reporter queried.
“Oh, I don’t care,” he said before ambling away.
