If you jumped on social media, you saw every private sleuth, every wannabe journalist trying to report this conspiracy theory that there was in fact some medical emergency aboard Air Force One. It wasn't true. Yet everyone flocked to it. Everyone trying to jump out there and be the first to say that something has happened with Joe Biden. The reality is that this was nonsense and this is the type of stuff that we as conservatives, we as Republicans, we as whatever you want to identify yourself as, need to be very careful of. We don't need to be out there trying to push out some false story that makes us look like ridiculous conspiracy theory nuts. I can assure you that if anything happened aboard Air Force One, you'll find out about it. The same time everybody else does. It will be a major breaking news story. You're not going to find out about it why they're still in the air. It's not going to be one of those stories that's going to leak that you're going to find that you're going to instantly scoop everyone on. It's just not going to happen that way. So when you see these type of things start to be shared, when you see these type of videos being put out there by the so called experts, don't trust them. If it's not again, I understand that the mainstream news media is not the most trustworthy news outlet, nor am I up here trying to defend them in any way, shape or form. What I am trying to do is make sure that we're not out there putting out a false narrative that we're not out there putting out information that can be made that can later be used to make us look foolish. And here's the other question, should anyone actively be rooting for something bad to happen to President Biden? I don't think we should. Despite the fact that we're not fans of him politically, I'm not rooting for it will to fall on him. We've already seen his debate performance. We've already seen the evidence, the man's not sharp, the man is not fit to be the president. But we shouldn't be trying to put out these false stories just because we want to be one of the first ones on the internet to put it out there. We need to be above the fray. We need to be making sure that whatever information we're sharing, whatever news links we are linking to our accounts are accurate. We can't afford to be pointed at and later for folks to say, look, see, we told you that this was nonsense. We told you you couldn't trust these people. But the other point too is this hope that Joe Biden does drop out of the race. I don't quite frankly want to see that happen because I think he's the best chance for Donald Trump to win. Well, the best chance outside of Kamala Harris getting to be the Democrat nominee that is. But that's a story for another day. Donald Trump has Joe Biden right where he wants him right now. So we should hope that the Democrats hold on to him as their nominee because I think he is the best chance Donald Trump has at winning back the White House. This isn't the Joe Biden from four years ago, not that Joe Biden was very impressive either. This is a Joe Biden that is so physically diminished that they aren't actively regretting putting him on that debate stage. They are actively regretting, letting him out in public or being seen anywhere where he can be compared and contrasted against Donald Trump. No, we don't like his presidency. We don't like his policies. But Joe Biden the person, I don't know him. I know he's gruff and I know that he's crass at times. The same some would own their side would say about Donald Trump. But we're above them. We're not ones out here actively wishing for ill things to happen to their candidate. We're not. That's not who we are. That's not who we should be. We should be trying to beat them at the ballot box. We shouldn't be trying to fall for Paul or tricks or false information or things like that. I think that we're better than that. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking that, but that's the way why view us. So next time you see a blogger or a YouTube video make, put out information that you've not seen anywhere else in the mainstream media yet. Don't rush to text it out to people. Don't rush to your social media to share it. Verify. Verify and make sure that you're above the fray when it comes to putting out information. Your credibility is more important than that. You shouldn't be in such a rush to be the first one to share something that you're just the first person to spread false information. Yes, it is a interesting time in American politics where we're sitting around and we are waiting to see what the Democrats are going to do. Will there be a secret type of medical emergency that removes Joe Biden from the ballot? Will there be something that pops up that makes Biden drop out of this race? That is all possible. And that's part of the reason why we are running so quickly to share this type of information. But we need to be better than that. We need to be careful. We need to be verified. We need to know that what we are sharing, what we are texting out to people is 100% accurate. Because again, these are the type of things that they can point to later on down the road in this race to try to save their candidate. So let's just be careful. And of course, if you start to see major news outlets reporting it, then by all means share it. But until you see that, let's not just share something from random blogs. Let's not just share something from random YouTubers. Let's make sure the information that we have is verified because right now this man is extremely beatable. And I think our best bet in November is for Joe Biden to remain on that ballot. I don't want to see him drop out of the race. Now do I think Trump can win if he's out of the race? Yes, because of how late it is in the ball game. I think the Democrats know that too and I think that's why they aren't pushing harder to get him off the ballot. Let's just be more careful people in what information we put out and let's be more careful that everything is verified. This has been Morning Coffee with the right side.
