LaRosa — who says he cares about \"Doctor B\" but paid a price for speaking out about Biden's health — breaks down why the book tour's opening salvo has been met with hostility from Democrats, how Jill's claim that she thought Biden was having a stroke during the debate contradicts everything the campaign said at the time, and why the same advisers who got the Bidens into this mess are still running the show. They dig into Jill Biden's unprecedented influence inside the White House — how her chief of staff controlled the schedule, the residence staff, the Secret Service, and access to the president — the DNC's embarrassing autopsy report that Ken Martin can't even stand behind, why Democrats still can't articulate what they're for, and the uncomfortable truth about affordability: Democrats didn't care about it under Biden but suddenly do under Trump. Plus: why only 16 House seats are actually competitive in 2026, whether Democrats can take back the House and Senate, and LaRosa's sharp distinction that \"Republicans use power as a tool — Democrats use power as a reward.\" #biden #politics 0:00 – Intro: Jill Biden's memoir is creating more questions than answers 5:21 – \"They were allergic to transparency\" — the Biden campaign's fatal flaw 10:08 – The same people who got everything wrong are still advising her 15:01 – Why this book is destroying her credibility instead of restoring it 19:23 – Jill Biden's unprecedented influence inside the White House 24:28 – The DNC autopsy report is a j…","meta_description":"Tara Palmeri sits down with Michael LaRosa, former spokesperson for First Lady Jill Biden and Biden campaign insider, for a no-holds-barred conversation a…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2924,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-tara-palmeri-show-7313277/episodes/jill-biden-says-she-thought-he-had-a-stroke-former-aide-speaks-out-w-michael-larosa/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-tara-palmeri-show-7313277/jill-biden-says-she-thought-he-had-a-stroke-former-aide-speaks-out-w-michael-larosa.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
