Why Democrats Face an Epic Collapse in 2024 | Henry Olsen
1Description
In Episode 371 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Henry Olsen, author of “Working Class Republican” and host of “Beyond the Polls” about the unprecedented circumstances surrounding Joe Biden’s candidacy for the 2024 Democratic Presidential nomination, who will replace him, and why Donald Trump is well-positioned to win in 2024.
Demetri and Henry Olsen examine the unprecedented circumstances surrounding Joe Biden’s recent debate performance and the pressure mounting on him to withdraw from the race, including rumors that the U.S. President may in fact have Parkinson’s disease or some other type of neurological disorder that disqualifies him from running in 2024. They speculate about who may be making policy decisions in the White House outside of the president himself, why so many Democrats and members of the press appeared surprised by the President’s debate performance, Biden’s potential replacement, and when (and how) his replacement will be chosen.
In the second hour, Henry Olsen offers his opinion, backed by polls and decades of political experience, on what the 2024 election will ultimately be about and how this election will be remembered in American history. He and Demetri discuss the role immigration will play in this election, the possibility of a U.S. withdrawal from NATO under Donald Trump, the evolution of Trump’s foreign policy since leaving office, the people who would staff the Trump Whitehouse and cabinet in 2024, and why Trump’s likely choice for Vice President is so important.

I wasn't familiar with Olsen. I was unimpressed by this discussion, so was unsurprised to find that he's a lecturer with the ultra-right-wing Hillsdale College, which is on the advisory board of Project 2025. That said, it was surprising and disappointing to see that he's also employed by The Washington Post.
This podcast pretends to be about substance, but this whole conversation cast the presidency as an athletic event rather than a matter of consequential public service. The conversation was about physicality, not policy. It was a mess of petty conjectures and uncited rumors. These guys care more about individual frailty than about national democracy.
This is just a collection of reckless, bootstrapped conjectures built upon rumors and ignorance. There was no semblance of evidence or critical thought in this conversation.
@13:37: That's not what it means to "beg the question." You mean it raises the question. To beg the question is to commit the logical fallacy of assuming the conclusion.
