Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who also has a pair of programs on the network’s streaming service, “Tucker Carlson Today” and “Tucker Carlson Originals,” compiled a series of President Joe Biden’s most embarrassing gaffes for an end-of-year holiday presentation called “The Joe Biden Christmas Special.”
“Fox Nation is giving subscribers the gift of humor this holiday season, as Fox News host Tucker Carlson highlights the best Joe Biden blunders Americans have seen yet,” Fox News reported, hyping the special and the network’s premium streaming service.
“Though it’s not all humorous – Carlson describes Americans under the second year of the Biden administration as ‘poor and disgruntled as they have ever been,’ and explains how major cities have been affected by open drug use, referring to the ‘wafting aroma of methamphetamine on our streets,'” the report continued.

Even as the country continues to suffer under rising crime, inflation, and an out-of-control southwestern border, Carlson noted that many of Biden’s gaffes provide Americans with some comedic respite.
Some of the examples in the special include Biden’s infamous bike spill, when he confused his wife, first lady Jill Biden, with his sister, and when he was talking about when small children would touch his leg hair in a swimming pool.
Another example included a time when Biden literally repeated the instructions on a cue card, “end of quote, repeat the line.”
One more example included when the president touted American-made products with this unforgettable line: “Let me start off with two words: Made in America.”
The collection of gaffes includes several examples of when Biden simply struggled with his words and had difficulty with numbers, such as when he gave a confusing response to the number of Americans who died from COVID-19: “Six thousand, three hundred and forty-four thousand seven hundred.”
“And, of course, it would be impossible to remember “Sleepy Joe’s” most memorable moments without calling back to footage of the President appearing to fall asleep during interviews and meetings,” Fox News noted.
Biden’s mental struggles, however, are increasingly concerning to a growing number of Americans, and in particular, his own family, according to Carlson.
“Fox News host Tucker Carlson joined my radio program this week, and he had a lot to say on an array of subjects. We discussed the ratings success of his show and his methodology for preparing each episode (he shuts out social media, but is in touch with a large network of friends and sources via text),” noted conservative podcaster and columnist Guy Benson in November 2021.
“The topic of Carlson’s self-identified flaws arose in the context of how he feels about his haters, especially those who toil endlessly to get him fired or forced off the air. In response to an outrageous anti-Fox smear from a progressive MSNBC opinion host, Carlson dropped the hammer,” Benson added.
“I also asked him about a new poll showing that a plurality of Americans do not believe President Biden has the mental fitness for the job. What Carlson revealed in response is noteworthy,” the host said.
Carlson dropped the bombshell that members of Biden’s own family believe he does not have the mental capacity to be president.
“I know a bunch of members of his family and a couple of them very well. And I knew for a fact that certain members of the family were very concerned about his cognitive ability. They didn’t expect him to get the nomination. Nobody did. And he got it and they were freaked out about it. That’s…I’m not speculating. I know that for a fact. So I knew that the family believed he was in cognitive decline. So there’s that and that’s news. That’s news,” the Fox News host said.
According to the result of a recent Fox News poll, just 49 percent of respondents thought that Biden has the “mental soundness” to serve as president.
“While 49 percent said yes, 48 percent said no. When respondents were asked weeks before, between September 7-10, 49 percent said yes, and only 45 percent said no, handing Biden three more points of less confidence in his mental soundness on Sunday,” Breitbart News reported, citing the survey.
