    Oh man I saw that segment and scouring back through my watched videos to find it for context (will edit later with the link when I find it). Idk about “living memory” (if that direct phrase was quoted), but I remember him talking about in his memory *comparing president’s like Clinton/Obama/Biden (maybe Carter was included). I still agree that statement was rather perplexing without him immediately filling in the context of what he means.

    Happily though, I seem to recall his team immediately rejecting the premise and pushing back on his statement as un-profound. I think it’s something he needs to clarify, as it seems to hit everyone’s nerves a bit. Kinda funny how one statement can paint a picture of a guy and now a commenter is calling him a Liberal lol (he constantly has segments arguing with callers who are lib).

      It was a caller who suggested Biden was the best, and Sam agrees. The team didn’t push back. His reasoning was that it is an incredibly low bar to clear.

        ok, thanks for narrowing the search down I guess? Just as an offside, if someone remembers differently then going “nuh uh, THIS happened” is just unhelpful without providing the context (article, video, anything so it’s not just two crabby people arguing over perception or misremembering).

            Definitely not arguing. Just saying if I refuted anything you responded back with, it would quickly dissolve into just a weird no-context dispute lol. You might be right with the push back, I just remember that they didn’t agree (maybe just the vibe they were giving off without fully dissecting how his statement was false).

            But I digress, off to work for the day where I can listen to the videos in the background so I can edit with a timestamp on my original reply. Thank you for the replies and have a good day!
