BASH: “And that’s exactly what I was going to ask Jon about. Because Jon, you were at that fundraiser as well. I don’t know if you spend as much time with President Biden as George Clooney did since he was one of the hosts, but that — I’m totally with you, David — that quote was like, wow.”
FAVREAU: “I mean, it was not surprising to any of us who were at the fundraiser. I was there. Clooney was exactly right. And every single person I talked to at the fundraiser thought the same thing, except for the, you know, people working for Joe Biden, or at least they didn’t say that. But I remember my wife, Emily, turned to me after the fundraiser and said, ‘What are we going to do?’ I mean — and I said, ‘Well, there’s a debate in a week. Either, he’ll do well on the debate, and we’ll think, well, he was just tired because he flew all the way back from Europe and that’ll be that, or he’ll be like this at the debate and then the whole country will be talking about it.’ And so, here we are.”
BASH: “Wow. Please come back, both of you. Thank you very much for being here. Fascinating conversation.”
