FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe wildest presidential campaign in modern American history deserves analysis that's as gripping as the events themselves. Today we're diving into two books that attempt to make sense of the chaos: "Fight" by Jonathan Allen and Amy Parnes, and "Uncharted" by Chris Whipple.From Biden's disastrous CNN debate where he appeared "ghostly white" and froze mid-sentence before 51 million viewers, to the frantic 107-day Harris campaign that followed, these accounts promise a behind-the-scenes look at a political earthquake. But which one delivers the goods?While Whipple's "Uncharted" offers valuable insider access through Biden's former chief of staff Ron Klain, it ultimately reads like an extended op-ed with a clear liberal tilt. The real revelation comes from "Fight," where Allen and Parnes weave a narrative that's both balanced and brutally honest. They take us inside shocking moments like Kevin McCarthy's White House tour with Biden, where the Republican leader walked away thinking, "This guy has literally lost his mind." We see Harris's team lamenting, "There's no effing future in our message," as they struggled to differentiate from Biden while remaining shackled to his policies. And we witness Trump's strategic mastery, from his McDonald's stunt to his Silicon Valley alliances.Key Points from the Episode:• Comparing two major books on the 2024 election: "Uncharted" by Chris Whipple and "Fight" by Jonathan Allen and Amy Parnes• "Uncharted" provides insider access to Biden's team but suffers from liberal bias and feels like an extended op-ed• "Fight" delivers raw, balanced storytelling that respects readers' intelligence without picking sides• Biden's debate disaster revealed his severe cognitive decline, with his chief of staff thinking "This is a disaster" as Biden froze on stage• Harris's campaign struggled to establish independence from Biden, with advisors lamenting "There's no effing future in our message"• Kevin McCarthy's White House tour with Biden revealed the president's confusion, leading McCarthy to think "This guy has literally lost his mind"• Trump's campaign effectively connected with voters on economic issues while Democrats focused on abstract concepts• "Fight" emerges as the superior book for understanding the 2024 election through its comprehensive and fair-minded analysisOther resources: Want to leave a review?

In this episode, Mosh sits down with Chris Whipple, author of the new book ⁠Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History⁠ for a behind-the-scenes look at the tight-lipped four years of the Biden Administration. Whipple interviewed several former White House staffers–including Biden's former Chief of Staff, Ron Klain–about Biden's decline before and during his presidency, and what he calls a “fog of delusion and denial” in the President's inner circle leading into the 2024 campaign.  He takes us inside Camp David for the prep before his disastrous June 27 debate, and the chaos in the Democratic party during the three weeks after the debate until Biden's decision to drop out. It's also a story of personalities in Washington: the complicated relationship between Biden and Barack Obama, why Kamala Harris' loyalty may have contributed to her failed campaign, and why President Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, might have a better handle on him than anyone who held the role in his first term.

From September 16, 2020: What is the proper relationship between the CIA director and the president? How should directors handle arguably illegal orders? How important is the director's role as the nation's honest broker of information during times of crisis?To get at these questions, David Priess sat down with Chris Whipple, a documentary filmmaker, journalist and the author of two books about the people around the president. "The Gatekeepers," based upon his documentary of the same name, examines White House chiefs of staff, and his new book, "The Spymasters: How the CIA Directors Shape History and the Future," is based on the Showtime documentary "The Spymasters: CIA in the Crosshairs," for which Whipple was the writer and executive producer.

They couldn’t—or wouldn’t—tell Biden it was time to go. Journalist Chris Whipple reveals the human drama behind the political failure, captured in his must-read book Uncharted. Why did no one stop Joe Biden from running again? In this eye-opening interview, Chris and Katie pull back the curtain on the 2024 election, delving into the loyalty, fear, and misjudgment that shaped the race.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- In a post to Truth Social, President Donald Trump announced that he has “authorized a 90 day pause” on heightened reciprocal tariffs—with a much lower 10% universal tariff going into effect instead. China, however, will be charged with a 125% tariff. Trump insisted that China's “days of ripping off the USA, and other countries, is no longer sustainable or acceptable.” 6:15pm- Will Democrats give President Trump credit for getting tough on China? In 2005 Senator Chuck Schumer advocated for a 27% reciprocal tariff on Chinese imports—noting that their unfair trade practices prevent American goods from being sold in the Chinese market. Similarly, in 1996 Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi called the “U.S.-China trade relationship…a job loser for the United States.” 6:30pm- In their new book, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen document then-President Joe Biden's behind the scenes struggles leading into the 2024 presidential race. Chris Whipple's “Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History” lays out a similar narrative. If Biden was cognitively struggling, why was he propped up by the Democrat Party for so long—and why wasn't the public made aware?

Best-selling author Chris Whipple's newest book is The Fight Of His Life and it chronicles the first two years of the Biden administration. Chris's extraordinary access to White House insiders provided him with an exclusive look into the workings, challenges and accomplishments of Team Biden.Chris's earlier works include The Gatekeepers and The Spymasters and he is a frequent contributor to The Washington Post, Vanity Fair, and Politico. He's also a filmmaker who has produced documentaries for Discovery and Showtime.The Fight Of His Life opens on the fraught transition during which Trump would not concede, nor allow for a peaceful passing of critical information to the new administration. However, Chris spoke with a heroic Trump insider who quietly and boldly provided the incumbent administration with the tools they would need to safely lead our country.Chris calls his book, "a political thriller in three acts" and it quickly moves into detailing the challenges immediately faced by Biden: A deadly pandemic, a plummeting economy, an unresolved 20-year war, and the aftermath of an attack on the Capitol that polarized the country. The crises continued in waves… The fallout from the Dobbs decision, raging inflation, and Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.Remarkable access to White House insiders including Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and CIA Director William Burns allowed Chris to learn and explore internal power struggles and back-room compromises.Chris reflects with us on Biden's accomplishments, from Covid relief to rescuing the economy, to an infrastructure bill, to the Inflation Reduction Act, and preparing NATO for the invasion of Ukraine. He also speaks frankly about the troubled withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and he offers his views on what Biden should do next and which achievements he should proudly proclaim from the campaign trail.

The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House by Chris Whipple From the New York Times bestselling author of The Gatekeepers comes a revelatory, news-making look at how President Joe Biden and his seasoned team have battled to achieve their agenda—based on the author's extraordinary access to the White House during two years of crises at home and abroad. In January of 2021, the Biden administration inherited the most daunting array of challenges since FDR's presidency: a lethal pandemic, a plummeting economy, an unresolved twenty-year war, and the aftermath of an attack on the Capitol that polarized the country. Waves of crises followed, including the fallout from a divisive Supreme Court, raging inflation, and Vladimir Putin's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. Now, in The Fight of His Life, prizewinning journalist Chris Whipple takes us inside the Oval Office as the critical decisions of Biden's presidency are being made. With remarkable access to both President Biden and his inner circle—including Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and CIA Director William Burns—Whipple pulls back the curtain on the internal power struggles and back-room compromises. Featuring shocking new details about how renegade Trump officials enabled the transfer of power, which key staffers really make the White House run (it's probably not who you think), why Joe Biden no longer speaks freely around his security detail, and what he really thinks of Vice President Kamala Harris, the press, and living in the White House, The Fight of His Life delivers a stunning portrait of politics on the edge.

So far, the presidency of Joe Biden has seen some big legislative successes, but a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. With a new Republican House majority determined to block his agenda, what's next for the Biden presidency?

We have just ended Biden's first two years as president, and it's a great time to reflect back on the wild national security ride we've had. In fact, Chris Whipple has just done that by publishing his book, “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House,” a deeply reported book that contains many interviews with Biden's inner circle.Lawfare publisher David Priess spoke with Chris about the transition from Trump to Biden, Biden's decision to pull out of Afghanistan, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the Biden administration's strategy of releasing intelligence before the invasion to try to both preempt the invasion and prepare European allies for what would come afterward, and much more.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

The 119th Congress is getting into full swing and we're starting to see what the impact of a divided government looks like. GOP hardliners Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar were given committee assignments, despite being tossed off committees last term for incendiary language and ideas. The alleged fabulist George Santos also got a committee assignment, despite growing calls for his resignation. All this as the country moves full steam ahead into a fight over the debt limit, risking a US default that could have disastrous consequences for the American – and global – economy. First in tonight's show, we take a step back with a revealing look at President Biden and his first two years in office. Chris Whipple joins the show from New York to discuss his new book, The Fight of His Life, based on inside access to the Biden administration.  Also on today's show: Composer Alan Fletcher and pianist Mikhail Voskresensky; Charlie Sykes, Editor-at-Large, The Bulwark. To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

THE THESIS: The FBI and “DOJ” helped instigate the violence on J6 and they do not want the public to find out just how much they did to cause it and make it worse THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES:  God laughs at schemers Luke 8:17 17 For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. THE NEWS & COMMENT: Fundraiser to save the family farm of a J6 family Chris Whipple makes an entire series of assumptions about President Trump's role in J6 and them, based upon those assumptions, says Trump's rhetoric or inaction was worse than Richard Nixon and his people trying to steal an election by breaking into the DNQ headquarters.  [AUDIO] - Author on CNN: Trump's Crimes Make Nixon's 'Look Like Parking Violations' - Chris Whipple, a former 60 Minutes producer who is the author of a forthcoming Biden hagiography that cast him in heroic terms - Newsbusters.  You know what's worse than Watergate? Well, much of what Barack Obama did and our supposed justice system putting people in trial whom the prosecutors know to be innocent. The “DOJ” is prosecuting people their own informants admit did nothing illegal: Gateway Pundit: THEY ALL LIED AND WE HAVE PROOF! Highly Sensitive DOJ Jan 6. Documents Leaked to The Gateway Pundit – FBI Confidential Human Source INFILTRATED Proud Boys, Ran FBI Operation on J-6, Reported They Were INNOCENT! — See Texts and Documents IN FULL!! All the crying from the shiny shoes for J6 falls false because they didn't offer a peep over the Black Lives Matter, Inc., and Antifa riots and political murders, even of cops Paul Ryan "found himself sobbing" during Jan. 6 attack: book All of three Republican members of congress are willing to stand up for the rights of these Americans. The GOP is a party of cowards.  Julie Kelly: Dirty little secret: As things escalated on Jan 6, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers aided police inside. RELEASE THE TAPES -- and the FBI records. Thank the Lord there are a few lawmakers willing to act with honor Rep. Gohmert: ‘Violations of American Rights' of Jan. 6 Prisoners ‘Mind Blowing'; Jan. 6 prisoner's fiancé recalls: 'We were covered head to toe from all directions with red laser dots from their assault rifles' And, when Republicans will play the J6 game it is only by promising to go after Democrats after the election and the Mockingbirds call it vengeance.  Republicans plot vengeance on Jan. 6 committee . . . Yeah, Axios, it's “vengeance” when Republicans do it.  And, they turn to a Brit to lecture us on our “democracy …”  [AUDIO] - On his conversations with former Pres. Trump about democracy, documentarian Alex Holder says: “Well, I don't think he really understands what that really means.” It is striking how the “DOJ” is treating J6 with the same lies and brutality as the compromised people killers at the CDC are treating Covid The CDC is hiding the evidence of the deaths being caused by the injections and the politically motivated, selective, deadly lockdown of churches, small business and schools while big business enjoyed the largest wealth transfer in the history of the world when they all launched The Great Reset on our backs . . .  The CDC is hiding Covid death data, that is CLEARLY because they know the mRNA is killing people, both by giving them mutated Covid strains and by heart attacks, strokes and the like.  Ethical Skeptic: The CDC purposefully releases an update with cancer & 15 - 54 year old deaths pulled out, & people are suddenly saying that everything is peachy now, based upon flawed data. Please, if you don't really know, if you have not done the detailed analysis, don't talk as an authority. . . . and, the CDC's excuse for the missing data is laughable. Like the “DOJ” has done with people who simply walked into the Capitol through the open doors, welcomed by cops and then did absolutely nothing illegal, the medical bosses and Gates-funded orgs are trying to do to doctors like Ryan Cole, who tells everyone right here to never inject their kids with the mRNA. [AUDIO] - All Dr. Cole says here is backed by peer reviewed science & Pfizer's own data. Undoubtedly many will dismiss it, but deep down you know all you have to do is actually look at the data, which is why you instead choose to trust what they tell you it says - from CHD-TV And, if Dr. Cole is making it all up, he must have also hacked Lincoln National Life Insurance, because their data continues to show a massive kill-off of human beings (since the Mockingbird media isn't reporting it, we can count on it being true):  Lincoln National, insurance company, fifth-largest life insurance company in US, reports a 163% increase in death benefits paid out under its group life insurance policies in 2021; why? COVID vaccine? So, whose dying? Well, since the CDC is hiding data here, we can turn to the U.K., where there has been a similar level of kill-offs.  'UK Gov. quietly published a report confirming the Vaccinated account for 94% of all COVID-19 Deaths since April, 90% of which were Triple/Quadruple Jabbed' THE LISTENERS: Doug writes: “Hi Todd, I strongly disagree with your missionary friend who got the injection. He is not indestructible as he says. What he did by taking the injection was putting God to the test and that is forbidden. God would never ask any of us to inject poison into us for any reason. People do die before their time. Every baby murdered by abortion die before their time. People who commit suicide die before their time. Moses died before his time. You also blew it when you told the pilot it may be God's will for him to get the injection. Not too long ago you were emphatically telling everyone not to get injected. On a different subject, in 1961 the Supreme Court ruled that atheism is a religion. Therefore, they are violating the law by spending our tax dollars to promote religion. Love ya brother! Keep doing the LORD'S work! Doug” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
