Joe Biden's re-election effort is in full swing, which means lots of vacations to Delaware and the occasional "interview" with a friendly face. His vigor on the campaign trail is truly awe-inspiring.
Unwilling to speak to anyone who might ask him serious questions, Biden recently did a pre-recorded session with Howard Stern. Clips of their exchange have been released, and we get to add some new entries to the president's list of tall tales. He also physically threatened Donald Trump again.

There's a lot to cover here because of the sheer amount of falsehoods told during this interview, but I'll start with this claim that women sent him "salacious pictures" while he was a senator.
Biden claims "women would send very salacious pictures" to him when he was a senator in the 1970s: "I'd just give them to the Secret Service."

I'm going to go through several clips in this article, but the common theme of all of them is Biden's grotesque narcissism. I've often joked that he's the "reverse Forrest Gump" (I was making that comparison long before Glenn Beck did late last year). What I mean by that is that Biden continually places himself at the center of every issue he discusses.
If he's giving a eulogy, he's going to bring up the fact that his son died of cancer. If he's talking about the Civil Rights movement, he's going to claim he was arrested for standing against racism. If the topic is pollution, he'll insist he got asthma as a child from nearby refineries. If he's addressing a group of truck drivers, he'll claim he drove an 18-wheeler (he didn't). In the movie, Forrest Gump is placed on the scene of a slew of major national events. Biden's life is a faux version of that, where he falsely puts himself at the center of every event. He's a classic narcissist.
So, did women send him "salacious pictures" that he gave "to the Secret Service?" That doesn't make much sense, given he wouldn't have had Secret Service protection at the time to give them to. The truth doesn't matter to Biden, though. It's all about creating a facade of greatness. This next clip is a perfect example of that.
Biden claims he "got arrested standing on the porch with a Black family" during the civil rights movement.

I believe Biden has made that claim a few times. Of note is that it never happened. The president was not arrested during the civil rights movement. Further, there's no evidence he played any real role in promoting racial justice during that period (he was friendly with segregationist senators, though). But again, it's not enough for Biden to talk about something. He has to make himself the star of the story, even if that means appropriating racial discrimination from black people for his own narcissistic demands.
Without spending a lot of time on this next one, the president repeated a falsehood that he was "runner-up in state scoring" while playing college football. Historical records show that's false.

The sketchy claims meant to make Biden look bigger than life didn't end there, though. He also told Stern that he saved six people from drowning as a lifeguard.

Stern: "We should play that up in the movie on your life!"
We're well past ludicrous speed, folks.
Does that sound probable to you? If true, why have there never been any reports of Biden saving anyone from drowning to this point? It would seem like the kind of thing people would remember and talk about, given Biden ended up becoming a senator and the president. I've known a lot of high-school-aged lifeguards, and saving six people from drowning seems like a pretty active summer schedule, but who knows? The point is the narcissism being displayed.
That extended to this next clip, where Biden plays the tough guy by threatening to beat up Donald Trump again.

Why does he keep fantasizing about physically harming his political opponent? That would seem like something the press should be concerned about, but instead, it's treated as just normal banter. Could Biden beat up Trump? Probably not at this point, but yet again, it's about his narcissism. Not only is Biden a Civil Rights icon who nearly led his state in football scoring, but he's also a prizefighter who enforced the code of the streets in his old neighborhood (which changes depending on what story he's telling).
Narcissism, narcissism, narcissism. Well, that and some senility.

Will the fact-checkers tear this interview apart, or will they keep obsessing over every syllable that leaves Donald Trump's mouth? I think we all know the answer to that.
