À propos de cet audio
From two of America’s most respected journalists, an unflinching and explosive reckoning with one of the most fateful decisions in American political history: Joe Biden’s run for reelection despite evidence of his serious decline—amid desperate efforts to hide the extent of that deterioration
"Explosive." —The New York Times
"[The] most significant book to date about Biden’s cognitive decline." — The Atlantic
"Superbly reported . . . Reads like a Shakespearean drama on steroids." — Los Angeles Times
"It’s hard to think of a book which has shifted the political dial to this extent in recent years." — Politico
In Greek tragedy, the protagonist’s effort to avoid his fate is what seals his fate. In 2024, American politics became a Greek tragedy.
Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump presidential term. He, his family, and his senior aides were so convinced that only he could beat Trump again, they lied to themselves, allies, and the public about his condition and limitations. At his debate with Trump on June 27, 2024, the consequences of that deception were exposed to the world. It was shocking and upsetting.
Now the full, unsettling truth is being told for the first time. Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson take us behind closed doors and into private conversations between the heaviest of hitters, revealing how big the problem was and how many people knew about it. From White House staffers at the highest to lowest levels, to leaders of Congress and the Cabinet, from governors to donors and Hollywood players, the truth is finally being told. What you will learn makes President Biden’s decision to run for reelection seem shockingly narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless—a desperate bet that went bust—and part of a larger act of extended public deception that has few precedents. The story the authors tell raises fundamental issues of accountability and responsibility that will continue for decades.
The irony is biting: In the name of defeating what they called an existential threat to democracy, Biden and his inner circle ensured it, tossing aside his implicit promise to serve for only one term, denying the existence of health issues the nation had been watching for years, dooming the Democrats to defeat. The decision to run again, the Original Sin of this president, led to a campaign of denial and gaslighting, leading directly to Donald Trump's return to power and all that has happened as a consequence. Rarely does hubris meet nemesis more explosively. Wherever you stand on the political spectrum, Original Sin is essential listening.

Unbelievable
This book blew me away. I am a big fan of Jake Tapper. So I wanted to get the audible version. It’s hard to put into words how shocked i am. I voted for Joe Biden twice for president and twice for vice president. The journalism is outstanding and I believed Joe Biden and Jill to be honest and people of honor. Obviously I was wrong. It reminds of watergate but I had no illusions about the kind of man Nixon was. I am so disappointed in the Biden’s to have been so manipulated by them and their White House staff. I thank you for the research and great book. My eyes are open now.

Finally confirmation of what we ALL knew!!
Great book. An in depth look at what everyone suspected. The head of the United States of America barely recognized people he had known for many years and everyone was covering it up.

I like how evenly it distributed the information. I got more hidden information and help me understand what happened.

The sad truth is hard to take
The sad truth is hard to take, but Jake Tapper delivers it in a succinct way. It’s akin to the police arriving at your front door to tell you your loved one has met a terrible fate.

Flawed but interesting
Jake narrates this book. It’s poorly edited the beginning of paragraphs appears to be missing. The book itself is flawed by factually incorrect information but it’s an easy listen and is still interesting.

Don’t waste your money or credits
Bought the book hoping for an in depth look at the Biden presidential coverup on his mental decline but all this book does is retread info that anyone who was paying attention to the news the last 5 years would have been able to put together. There are better books that have come out recently about this topic so I wouldn’t waste your money buying a book that just serves as a way for Jake tapper to try to shed any responsibility for the role he played in hiding president bidens mental decline
