i did a little work for us here. i looked up what happens when we all turn 80, and here's what i found. and basically i'm going to read to you what the experts on this aging se, physically, our bones tend to shrink in size and density, which makes us weaker. our muscles, it says here also lose strength, endurance inflexibility, which affects our coordination, stability, and our balance. and now let's see what it says about our minds at 80. our brain actually shrinks, particularly in the frontal cortex. and yes, that means our memory, the clients. as a result, memory tasks become much, much more difficult. not look, i'm not saying that the 80 year old can be smart and can't be happy and can't even be physically fit. in some cases it's just all i'm saying is it's just,

it's not the norm. it's not the norm. and to be president of the united states, here's what drives the driver in the states that are affected. here's that, that you can do the drivers. so is it age or, or just the type of thing that can happen to anyone? the answer that question is pretty simple and also complex. but one cannot ignore that. this type of thing has happened more than once now to mr. but like these videos that we see on, you know, on the google's, as i say. and we also can ignore the fact that he's b o happens to be the oldest president ever. in fact, you know, who are the 2 oldest president in the history of the us in the last 2. that's right . part of the go button, the oldest man to our occupy the white house was donald trump,

who's now celebrating a 77 birthday newspapers like the new york times, are now writing about this problem. should we say, joe and tucker, see that's what it's called. geron progress, a look at this headline that asks the question. if americans are stuck on german park or see how tired are americans of the very old generations, always running this country. according to a, cnbc full 70 percent of americans say, they don't want mr. button to run for a 2nd term, 70 percent saying they don't want them to run again. that's a lot of people. is it possible, though, that our country encourages this? actually, our system encourages a tired and state and politicians. and if so, why, why do you think somebody medical scholars remind us that the system is skewed

towards conformity? in other words, why rock the boat? why change things? and there are so many people making so much money. just as things are with the same older people in charge, does the average american benefit from this? how about young people can so it seems obvious. well, i wanna show you a chart now. what a discharge detail is it pretty much detailed who boats in america. look at that. the percentage of 60, the 80 year olds who vote in presidential elections is more than 70 percent of the percentage of the older people voting is 70 percent. and when we look at those who are $30.00 to $40.00 for that percentage goes down to about 50 percent. in other words, half don't even bother to vote. and now look what happens when we look at 18 to 29 year olds. the number goes down to roughly 40 percent. in other words, the majority of americans in that particular category don't vote. so in america,

the older you are, the more likely you are to vote and the older you are, the more like the more likely you are to get elected as well and stay elected. and with each passing year, this jeron pock receive, gets more and more pronounced. and joining us now is uh edward woodson. he's a tv and uh radio host whose name has appeared on too many periodicals to name. and he's work for probably too many outlets to name is. well, let's start with this there of only been 2 presidents in the united states in their seventy's. and guess who they are. guess who they are? joe biden, and donald trump. yeah, i mean, what do you make of that? what does that say about us as a country? i think what it, what it represents is that the boomers aren't ready to like go. right. you know, you've got this um, this boomer generation which by the way,

if you look at the birth, you know, of the boomer generation such it's such a long generation right. but it was 1947 to or 1964. so you've got the, the we're, we're, we're coming to the end of the boomer generation now. and i think part of that is that the boomer generation doesn't want to like go. and i think that's what it is. well, there's the writing. there's something that many are writing about now it's called geron park receive. busy and, and to me, i mean, i don't know what it means to you, but to me it means too many entrenched. a people in our system of government who are going to probably remain there for years and years. and there is the, and like you said, they don't want to let go good or bad the good or bad. you know, i, i'm a conflicted about this, cuz i know this has been a media narrative for the last week. now, you know, you're and i, and i know by the way, i wonder why that is because the democratic party watched the push button now.

right, well, i mean i'll, i'll tell you this. um, i'll tell you this recently, and i think a lot of americans have seen this and for our audience overseas, i think you'll find this quite interesting. president biden isn't a news conference any calls out congresswoman jackie larson. right. fact we have the video, we're going to play it right here. okay, now we're coming out of the video. busy did you, did you see that? i mean he's asking if she's in the room and she's dead, she had just died in a car accident. he knew it and everybody knew it. i mean, i'm just watching that moment and i'm thinking to myself, god bless them. but is it all timers? is it, is it? well, what do you make of that moment? well, look, that's not an isolated moment, rick. i mean we've had other moments like this right? and, and, and a lot of people in washington,

a lot of people had whispers that perhaps joe biden is, uh, you know. 1 early onset of uh, of dementia, alzheimer's, right? i mean it's, it's a natural progression and his age to be that way. so i think that what we're seeing too is um, slowly, but surely you're seeing this with the, you know, the documents and, you know, as a matter of fact today they just search the robust house. you know, the d o j a went in there and i, i, i think this is a slow role to kind of take him out and, and possibly bringing somebody younger. so no, i mean, we talked about the numbers in a little bit. and by the way, just let me just ask you, uh, do you see him running again? do you think there's any possibility he can run for a 2nd, sir? so i, i think that maybe he might want to, but i, i feel like the forces, i think after the mid terms, when he made that announcement,

right. saying that he was gonna run or possibly run. i think you already kind of started to see the writing on the wall and you kind of started seeing. but you know, there's no coincidence a gavin newsom now is making a big play. you know, you've got talk of. 1 you know, bringing in new blood, frankly. yeah. you know, you across america, by the way, i mean, correct. it doesn't, but you can, we can talk about, i mean, look at the republican side, there's trauma, right. and uh, i mean uh say what you want about a guy doesn't email, doesn't text barely knows how to use technology and his reading skills. well, watch instead of videos where women have been truly under represented of really, i guess you could say like a representative to the drugs not as old. i don't think he's got the mental deficiencies that we outwardly see in uh in by

him. but he's kind of an old. these are 2 now. absolutely. yeah. i got a boomer that uh, doesn't wanna let go mean. and what part of that is, is we're living longer. we're being told, uh, hey, uh, you know, a 60 is a new 40, know 6060. yeah. so we would hold that for a point. all right. 6363, right. what of 80. it's a it's a. yeah. so i mean the, but we're told bad constantly, right? right. oh, we've been sold that. uh, you know, some women have been told, but don't worry, you can put off how the kids enjoy your, you know, for you can have it all girl. but the reality is, is that age, those play to part, right? just logically with our mental acuity and what have you. so, you know, there's something to be said about having new blog. there was actually a movement that started in 2016. i don't know if you remember it. i remember seeing it, we actually have some signs that were going to be able to pull it up. so the people

around the world and listening to us can, can get, can be made aware of it. it was actually a movement that's called everybody sucks. it's and there are signs of came up everywhere. every americans are generally just dissatisfied with their political system and more importantly, their political choices. what do you make of that as well? i think that's, that's largely true, but how long rich have we gone through election cycles where we said that this person is the lesser of 2 evils? how much of we've done that? i know in my lifetime, in your years as well. we've done that. we've kind of looked up and go, you know, my guess this guy is, i'm not crazy about this guy, but uh, let me go ahead and vote for him because the less are 2 evils. and i think we've had those choices for a lot of i do, i do think actually they do all suck. yeah. well, but there's, there's, are,

there are larger reasons. i think for that the, the ask you this and now uh try and narrow it down to the 2 guys could be running again in the next presidential election. i'll tell you what my buddies say, my democratic buddies say there's no way in hell that they would support a bite and presidency. the guy's already too old and out to lunch. my republican bodies are telling me they're not comfortable following or backing a trump presidency because they think he's just gone too far. he looks tired too much drama, yada, yada, yada. bring on somebody else. so we got 2 leading candidates. i suppose at least the guys talking all the attention, neither one of which is uh, uh, really selling themselves or, or, or is getting by and right now from the american public or at least a voting public. you say what? i think that's largely true and, but you know, how many times have we seen was early on in the elections. right. where, you know, you had jeff bush was the front runner. scott walker, rudy giuliani. i mean,

we go on and on, on, and someone emerges, right. you can go back to jimmy carter who just emerge, i don't know, or adult pointer. brock obama. right. uh, so i don't know if we necessarily know who that candidate is right now. i think it's too early to tell, but i do agree that i don't think it is going to be by more trump. i think, you know, more than likely, you know, maybe we, we don't know, you know, people talking about the santas and then on the other side, you know, i don't know if even the democrats really have a bachelors who do it, who we're talking about here. beauty judge, i mean they're trying to else kamel as we speak. i think it's in the democrats, i use the judge couldn't get get some. uh, tell me when the narrative ready to vote for a guy who is openly gay. i don't think you have anything to do with that. i think it's just incompetent. he's a small town town, may or from you know, south bend indiana. like what seems to be done now is yeah, well, he's the,

he's very eloquent. we gotta give him the kids. he puts words together is very, very nicely. but the, but listen to my question. now, what do you think america's, at this point? not you, i'm not asking you for your opinion. america, as we know, as you and i know it is it, would it be willing to vote for a guy who's openly get i don't think people care about hans. i really at this point at this point, edward words and is a journalist. he's a tv and radio host. uh, and obviously he's not afraid to say what the, how he sees things in terms of how the politics of the united states of america stands right now. he's joining us to have this conversation about whether uh, interestingly enough, uh no country for old presidents and, well, that's good. we have become in this country, but it goes further and,

and what i want to talk about when we come back from the break is i want to talk about what the specifics are that caused is that has put us here and how we could possibly change these conditions, thanks again. you're talking to uh, you're listening to rick sanchez with edward watson. we'll be right back. by the way, i'd like to continue this conversation with you. what do you say we do that? huh. we can do this on twitter. my handle there is rick sanchez, the tv rick sanchez, tv on twitter. i'll see you there. but when we come back, more on these latest polls about how americans feel about the age of their president and their leaders. what's happening here? stay with the a while he's got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race and it is often very dramatic. the only personally i'm going

to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very unclear, to get a time time to sit down and talk the

take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by how of tired vision with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills and then it just does. it shows you fractured images, present.
