(DCNF)—Former President Joe Biden on Friday appeared to claim he could “beat the hell out of” CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson after delivering remarks at a Memorial Day event.
Tapper and Thompson authored a new book titled “Original Sin” about Biden’s physical and mental decline — and its cover-up — while in office. When a reporter pressed him about the recent widespread conversations regarding his mental acuity and physicality while president, he mocked the claims and seemed to take aim at the authors.
“You can see that I’m mentally incompetent and I can’t walk and I can beat the hell out of both of them,” Biden said.
Biden’s aides also privately discussed the possibility of Biden needing a wheelchair in a potential second term due to his deteriorating physical health, according to “Original Sin.”
Since the book reported details about Biden’s decline, Democrats have questioned whether he should have run for a second term in office. When a reporter pressed him on it, Biden asked why the Democrats critical of him did not challenge him, answering his own question by asserting they would have lost if they had.
“Why didn’t they run against me then? Because I’d have beaten them,” Biden asserted.
The reporter followed up by asking if he had “any regrets.”
“No, I don’t have any regrets,” the former president said.
“There’s a lot going on and I think we’re at a really difficult moment. Not only in American history, but in world history. I think we’re at one of those inflection points in history where the decisions we make in the next little bit are going to determine what things look like in the next 20 years,” he added. “I’ve been talking about that for a long time. And I’m very proud. I put my record as president against any president at all.”
The former president was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that has metastasized to the bones on May 16, his personal office announced on May 18. Biden also updated reporters about his cancer treatment after his speech.
“It’s all a matter of taking a pill, one particular pill. And for the next six weeks, and then another one,” he said. “And the expectation is we’re gonna be able to beat this. It’s not in any organ. My bones are strong. It hasn’t penetrated. So I’m feeling good.”
During the speech, Biden couldn’t quite finish reciting the most famous line in the Declaration of Independence.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights, life, liberty, pursuit of ha — we made it!” he yelled. “That’s who we are! That’s what makes America the most unique nation in the world. Literally, not figuratively.”
The announcement of Biden’s diagnosis came just two days before the release of “Original Sin.”
Biden had a disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump on June 27. He dropped out of the race on July 21 and endorsed former Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost all seven swing states and the popular vote to Trump in November.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
