You almost sold me on the value of reading the whole transcript over, and seeing what I thought of it, to see if there's something to what you were saying. I mean, that's not at all what a "Gish Gallop" is, but you're not wholly off base on it being maybe off base for me to read the bullet point transcript and assume that GPT got the whole thing perfectly right.

So, I read the first paragraph of the real transcript.

Way 2024 is an election year, and unfortunately for Biden, his approval rating is in the toilet. I won't go through his whole track record, but just to refresh your memory, Biden promised a $15 minimum wage and didn't deliver. He promised to enshrine the federal right to abortion and didn't do that either. He promised to cancel about $10,000 of student debt per person and ultimately came in way under that number. And then, of course, you have the recent stuff with the southern border where Biden's being far more xenophobic and draconian than most Republicans, even after calling Trump out for the same thing and promising to put a stop to the border wall, which he also didn't do. You get the picture. But politicians never keep their promises, so no one's really surprised. Even now, as we're hearing the Biden campaign make basically the same promises, it's because, trust me, this time is going to be totally different. They just needed more time. Now that he's on the campaign trail, Biden is mostly pinning the blame for this sort of stuff on Republicans. It's time to rally every last Democratic voter behind him, and with a solidly Republican House and a sort of blue Senate at the moment, the reason things like that border bill didn't get through was because it was blocked by a strong Republican opposition. So it makes sense that Biden is really keen on making them look like obstructionists. But that really doesn't explain all the broken promises.

I think we're done here.

If you want, you could ask Linkerbaan what country they're from and why they have so much specific interest in US politics. I sort of get why they interpret it as an attack, but it doesn't really have to be -- it's more of just a curiosity question, and you can also sort of get, presumably, why someone might be interested in the answer to the question.
