This episode is from our first week — where we were workshopping the format, voice, and rhythm in real time. The message still matters. The delivery just gets better.

They told us Biden was fine. They called the clips “cheap fakes.” They said questioning his memory was dangerous misinformation.

Now, even his allies are quietly admitting what many saw coming: he’s not okay — and hasn’t been for a while.

In today’s Think First, we look at the real gaslighting: not just the president’s decline, but the media’s role in covering it up, shifting the narrative, and testing how much you’ll pretend not to notice.

There is a lot of noise out there. Headlines, outrage, spin and every day someone's trying to tell you what to think. Think First is here to break that rhythm. I'm Jim Detchen, host of Think First and founder of Gaslight360. They told us the videos were cheap fakes. They said the stumbles, the blank stares, the forgotten names were all just bad angles or partisan editing. Turns out, the only thing being edited was the truth.

Speaker 1:

According to the new book Original Sin by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, president Biden's inner circle knew for years that his cognitive health was declining. They shielded him from the public, limited his schedule and even considered using a wheelchair in his second term. Meanwhile, the media echoed the White House's narrative, dismissing concerns as misinformation. So let's ask when does protecting a leader become deceiving a nation? How did gaslighting become a political strategy? What role did the media play in perpetuating this narrative and why did it take a disastrous debate performance for the truth to surface? You don't need all the answers, but you should question the ones you're handed. This is Think First, stay sharp, stay sharp, stay skeptical. Spot the gaslight. Follow now and join us before the spin starts. Please visit our website at gaslight360.com for the latest trends in gaslighting and poetic truth, and follow us on X.
