Howard Stern Accepts Role As Useful Idiot For The Democrat Party | Bobby Burack

Imagine telling someone two decades ago that the most feeble, sheltered president in modern history would confidently sit down with Howard Stern in a rare interview during his re-election campaign.

They wouldn't believe you.

Previous generations of Stern's listeners can attest that he was once the most daring voice in media. He considered no question too personal, offensive, or damning for his interview subjects.

A president with rapidly declining poll numbers and a crackhead son involved in geopolitical influence peddling would never consider chatting with the Howard Stern of old.

But that Howard Stern is no more. He's a shell of his former self. He's no longer courageous, unpredictable, or independent. He's cowardly, repetitive and an ardent follower of groupthink.

Or, as he phrases it, he's "woke."

Stern explained last September: 

"I ran out Friday morning. I was over at CVS. Thank you, CVS. I went over there at 9 a.m. and got myself that new vaccine for Covid. F*cking science. This f*cking country is so great … I support people who want to be transgender. I’m for the vaccine, dude call me woke as you f*cking want … I am a woke motherfu*ker, and I love it."

Last year, Stern confirmed a report that he did not leave his house until two and half years after the start of Covid, other than for medical appointments. He recently urged the U.S. government to "bring back lockdowns," as he sensed a new wave on the horizon.

No further comment needed.

We can't say for certain what changed Howard Stern. Maybe it was age. Maybe it was guilt. Or maybe someone got to him and warned him to either get in line or get exposed. 

In any scenario, Stern proved himself useful enough for Biden's overprotective handlers – the same handlers who wouldn't allow the president to sit down with CBS for the traditional pre-Super Bowl interview last February. 

According to Biden's notoriously cautious communication department, Norah O'Donnell is now a more risky interviewer than Howard Stern. To their credit, Stern did not disappoint on Friday.

Not once did Stern ask Biden about the antisemitic protesters hijacking elite colleges across the United States. Rather, he referenced Jan. 6 as proof that Trump "should not be able to run for office."

Biden, obviously, didn't disagree. He called Trump's actions that day "almost criminal."  

A rising tolerance for antisemitism, which is now almost exclusively a left-wing political belief, is far from the only topic on which Stern didn't push Biden. 

Stern is a staunch advocate of using our tax dollars to fund Ukraine, so it's not surprising to see him avoid that topic entirely. However, he also avoided the mess that is our border, the greatest national security threat we face today. 

He didn't reference Laken Riley, the innocent 22-year-old nursing student whom an illegal murdered early this year by easily and illegally entering the country thanks to Biden's senseless border policy.  

Howard did have some fun with Biden during the interview, asking him about his days as a lifeguard. Here was the exchange:

Stern: "Did you ever save anyone's life when you were a lifeguard? Was anyone ever drowning?"

Biden: "Yeah. Well, half a dozen times. Usually younger kids, you know."

Stern: "You do the thing with the whistle and then jump in and the bathing suit and, you know?"

Biden: "You got it."

While hearing about Biden in a swimsuit is always refreshing, we noticed Stern avoided his two favorite former topics during the chat: cocaine and strippers.

Both topics were timely considering Biden's son Hunter frequents both cocaine and strippers. Heck, he fathered a daughter with a stripper – a daughter whose existence Joe Biden refused to acknowledge until last year, three years after her birth. 

Reasons like those are why Biden's bosses won't speak with most interviewers, even the most liberal ones the industry offers. They can't trust most networks to utterly separate themselves from conducting a moderately objective interview, to which Biden could not handle due to his declining mental state.

They can trust Howard. 

Stern used to rage against the system. He abhorred how the government controlled the propaganda machine. Yet he is now part of the system. Even worse, he's useful to the system. 

Biden's election team used Stern as a political prop. He was happy to assist.

Amusingly, such a cringing, cupcake interview with the sitting U.S. president is the exact type of ploy the old Howard Stern would've savagely ridiculed. No one would've belittled the Howard Stern of today more than the Howard Stern of old.
