In 2000, The Simpsons predicted something: after a real estate mogul became President of the United States, a woman would take over. In 2024, this happened. Then, some people said Nostradamus also predicted it: a weak man would rule the Western world, with an ambitious woman by his side. But this is false. Nostradamus died in 1566, and the term "Western world" only appeared in 1586, 20 years after his death. Someone fabricated this passage and put it online. But behind all the prophecies and conspiracy theories, there is a real event that happened, more shocking than any prophecy: a woman, on national live television, said two completely opposite things, only minutes apart. Two years later, she admitted it herself. In this episode, we start from this moment. Subscribe to News Yi, see through the surface with evidence. Have you ever watched someone speak on TV and suddenly felt something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint what it was? In May 2026, former US First Lady Jill Biden sat in the CBS Sunday Morning live studio for an interview. The host asked if she was shocked by the debate on June 27, 2024. She replied, "I wasn't shocked, I was scared, because I had never seen her like that before, not before, not after. I thought, my God, did she have a stroke or was she drugged?" But after the debate, as they walked off stage, she said to Biden, "You did great, you answered every question, you were perfect." Only a few minutes separated these two statements: one was a private thought about whether he had a stroke, the other was calling him perfect in front of the entire nation. These two statements cannot both be true simultaneously. But both came from the same person, from the same evening, minutes apart. In this episode, we are not here to comment on American politics. We are here to ask a question: in the world's largest democracy, who has been holding the script? To understand this, we need to go back to June 27, 2024, 9 PM Eastern Time. CNN was broadcasting live in Atlanta, Georgia, for the first debate between Biden and Trump. This debate is recorded, has a complete transcript, and is evidenced by footage. We are not here to comment on who won. We are here to use five specific moments to look at Biden's true state that night. Scene 1: Defeating Himself. The debate turned to the issue of medical costs. Biden intended to say he wanted to lower high drug prices, but he said, "If we end up beating the Medicare plan." Those present paused. The host continued, and no one dared to respond. "Beating the Medicare plan" was a policy Biden had supported for decades, a core stance of his entire political career. The problem was with the sentence itself, not taken out of context. Scene 2: Where Did the Sentence Go? During the debate, in a segment about COVID policy, Biden started a sentence and then lost his train of thought. "We need to make sure that what we do is that everyone can..." The sentence was left unfinished, and he moved on to another topic. But the unfinished sentence hung in the air. In the transcript, such interruptions appeared more than once. Scene 3: The Face-to-Face Moment. When Trump spoke directly to him, there were several moments captured by the camera. Trump's voice was loud and aggressive. Their eyes were fixed forward. Biden was looking down, silent, searching for his thoughts. Many viewers said he didn't lose on points, but lost in that moment, how he appeared on camera. Scene 4: Rebuttal Turned Repetition. The debate's closing statement was each candidate's last chance to leave an impression on the audience. Biden's closing statement featured repetitive sentence structures. The same phrases appeared multiple times within two minutes. The final sentence was about Medicare and Medicaid, but he trailed off in a low voice, followed by applause. Scene 5: What Jill Saw. This was the night. Jill was in the audience, witnessing each of the above moments firsthand. While in the audience, she thought, "My God, did he have a stroke?" And then, minutes later, he walked on stage and said he was perfect. This gap is the starting point of all the questions in this episode. About 20 minutes into the debate, Trump said something on stage. I don't know what he was saying, and I don't think he knew either. This was said on live camera, and it's fully recorded. The day after the debate, Trump held a rally in Virginia. He said Biden's problem wasn't age, but capability. This statement precisely described what happened on stage during the debate. The day before the debate, June 26, 2024, actor George Clooney, one of Hollywood's most prominent Democratic supporters, wrote an article in the Los Angeles Times publicly stating that the Biden he saw at a fundraising event was a completely different person from the one in 2020. This was before the debate, not after. He saw it with his own eyes and wrote it in the newspaper. The Biden of 2020 could complete a full debate, was logical, rebutted effectively, and was both offensive and defensive. Four years later, he couldn't even complete a sentence. And even earlier, in February 2024, Special Counsel Robert Herr, former US Attorney, in his report investigating Biden's handling of classified documents, wrote in black and white that he was an old man with poor memory, a well-meaning but declining old man. This is an official document from the US Department of Justice. And the Biden administration at the time went to court to prevent the DOJ from releasing the recordings of his interviews, not the transcripts, but the recordings, the recordings where you could hear his voice at the time. The question is, if there was no problem, why go to court to stop people from listening? Before we go further, let's get to know this couple. In 1972, a 29-year-old man won a Senate election in Delaware. No one took him too seriously at the time because he was so young. Before he was officially sworn in, he had to wait until his 30th birthday to be constitutionally eligible. But before Christmas that year, his wife Nelia, with their three young children, went to buy a Christmas tree. On the way, they were involved in a serious car accident. His wife Nelia and one-year-old daughter Naomi died at the scene. Their two sons, Beau and Hunter, were taken to the hospital with severe injuries. Biden was sworn in as a senator in a hospital room. For decades after, he took the M-TRAC train daily from Delaware to work in Washington, so he could go home every night to be with his two sons. This habit was central to his political image, his connection to ordinary people, and the root of his "Joe from Scranton" image. In 2015, his eldest son, Beau Biden, died of cancer at the age of 46, a blow widely considered the most devastating in his political career. In 2020, at the age of 77, he was elected the oldest elected president in American history. This is Joe Biden's story: a story full of tragedy, perseverance, and political will. But the protagonist of this episode is the person next to him. Jill Agrabus was born in Pennsylvania in 1951, the eldest of five sisters. Her first marriage ended in divorce. Later, she was introduced by Biden's brother and met the then-single Biden. Biden proposed to her five times before she accepted, a documented fact, not a romantic legend. She said she didn't want to marry into a political family and didn't want to be in the spotlight her whole life. But she eventually married him and spent decades completing her education, participating in her husband's campaigns while studying. Her doctoral dissertation researched a specific issue: why community college students drop out. It wasn't a political paper, but a problem a true educator cared about. As First Lady, she continued to teach English at a community college, the first First Lady in American history to do so. The work she promoted in the White House primarily focused on the rights of military families and cancer research, areas she was genuinely invested in. This is the Jill Biden in public records: a person with her own life and work. However, after 2024, another image began to emerge. Back to the night of June 27, 2024, a few minutes after the debate ended. These were the most crucial minutes of the entire event. Jill walked onto the stage and addressed supporters, defending Biden, saying he was the most suitable person to lead America. On stage, she said to her husband, "You answered every question, you know all the answers." But we now know that at the same time, she was thinking, "Did he have a stroke?" This moment was not a wife comforting her husband. This moment was a substitute walking onto the stage, telling a story completely opposite to her private thoughts in front of a national audience. For three full weeks after the debate, Biden remained in the election campaign. It was reported that Jill was one of the most insistent people urging him to continue. It wasn't until July 21, 2024, that Biden officially announced his withdrawal from the campaign, 24 days after the debate. Some within the Democratic Party later said that if he had withdrawn earlier, the outcome might have been different. But no one can go back. This is a big problem. If the person on stage during the debate was the real Biden, then who was making decisions in the White House? This question is not new. Senior political analysts have raised it before. American political strategist Dick Morris, former chief advisor to the Clinton administration and later a conservative commentator, stated publicly in a Newsmax TV interview in 2023 that someone was pushing this administration in a certain direction, and that person was not Joe Biden. Morris said that Biden's beliefs and positions over the past decades had a significant gap with his decisions as president, implying someone was influencing him from behind. This is his personal analysis, not independently verified, but it is a voice that has genuinely appeared in American politics. There is a historical precedent. The 28th President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, suffered a stroke in 1919 and was bedridden. His wife, Edith Wilson, made decisions for her husband for the next year, even reportedly filtering what documents reached her husband. Edith Wilson is historically known as the first female president of the United States. Although she never officially took office, she was the de facto executive decision-maker. After the 2024 televised debate controversy, commentators have directly compared Joe Biden to Edith Wilson. This is public media commentary, not a conspiracy theory. It is from named individuals in televised interviews. In 2023, Joe Biden received a letter, reportedly from the Loudoun County School Board, a notification. According to reports, the letter stated that his accumulated part-time contract credits had been used, so the contract was automatically terminated, not fired, but the contract expired automatically. What was sudden and reportedly unexpected was that it happened during his term. The school later clarified that this was a routine procedure, executed according to rules. But for someone living in the White House to receive a letter saying his contract was automatically terminated, completely unprepared, this event itself shows one thing: he was genuinely teaching, not just posing. He was a normal employee with a real contract, and also the First Lady. This is what is unusual about him. If you think the information in this episode is worth in-depth exploration, remember to subscribe to News Yi. In each episode, we use real events to ask a question that no one else asks. Speaking of which, we need to directly address a widely circulated claim online. It says that Biden actually wanted to withdraw from the election in March 2024, but was forced to continue by the First Lady, who was acting as president and making all the presidential decisions behind the scenes. This is a claim circulating online, not an official record, not a fact reported by mainstream media. Let's examine it point by point. First, the First Lady has no constitutional authority. According to the US Constitution, the First Lady is not an elected official. She has no executive power in the eyes of the law. She cannot sign bills, issue executive orders, command the military, or legally convene or direct cabinet meetings. This is not an opinion; it is constitutional text. Second, this script is not new. A First Lady secretly governing is a classic attack tactic in American political history. In 1919, after Woodrow Wilson's stroke, his wife Edith was called the "secret president" by her political opponents. Nancy Reagan also faced similar criticism for influencing Reagan's staff from behind the scenes. Whenever political opponents want to attack both the president for being weak and incompetent and the First Lady for being power-hungry, this script is brought out and replayed. Third, Biden's actual work has public records. The projects he promoted in the East Wing were the Military Family Rights Program, Women's Health Research, and the Cancer Moonshot Initiative. These are all independent initiatives, not executive decisions. The conclusion is that the claim of a "acting president" distorts normal spousal influence into an unconstitutional power grab. This is political attack language, not fact. Our principle at News Yi is to see through the surface with evidence, but this surface needs to be viewed in two directions, including seeing through conspiracy theories themselves. At the same time, another even more widely circulated claim is that Biden was diagnosed with cancer during his term, and the White House inner circle deliberately concealed it just to continue holding power. This claim spread widely after he announced his prostate cancer diagnosis in May 2025. Let's look at the facts. Biden's cancer Gleason score is 9, medically classified as a highly aggressive category. Medical experts point out that this type of prostate cancer can be completely asymptomatic before it metastasizes to the bones and causes pain. The chief scientific officer of the American Cancer Society also stated that in such late-stage diagnoses, cancer cells have usually been present in the patient's body for several years, even a decade or more. In other words, behind the medical data, there is something political commentators do not mention: cancer has never been a tool for political calculation for the Biden family. It is a lingering family nightmare. In 2015, they lost their eldest son, Beau Biden, to brain cancer at the age of 46. It is precisely because of this experience that Jill and Joe vigorously promoted the Cancer Moonshot Initiative during their term. It is a policy commitment driven by personal reasons, distorting this family's loss into a cover-up for power-grabbing. Distorting it into a cover-up for power-grabbing is political attack language, not factual analysis. Our stance is to clearly distinguish what are known facts, what is political maneuvering, and what are still controversial issues. After discussing conspiracy theories, we need to do something else, which is the consistent practice of News Yi: not to look in only one direction. In Season 11, Episode 17 of The Simpsons in 2000, titled "Bart to the Future," Lisa Simpson becomes the first female president of the United States. Her first challenge is to clean up the mess left by her predecessor. Who was the predecessor? The episode makes it clear: a real estate mogul. 24 years later, Biden withdraws from the election, and Kamala Harris takes over, becoming the first female Democratic presidential candidate, also facing challenges left by her predecessor. This is The Simpsons' record, S11E17, aired in 2000, verifiable. But Simpsons executive producer Al Jean stated clearly that this is not a prophecy, but a coincidence. Given the sheer number of episodes, thousands of jokes, there are bound to be some overlaps. We are not telling you to believe it's a miracle, but to ask a question: did someone see this outcome before 2024? The answer is yes. The "Almost Almanac," published in Ireland, is a prophecy almanac published annually for over 300 years. Their 2024 edition already stated that the US president would withdraw due to health issues, and the US would move towards a conservative government. Both events have happened. The mechanism of an almanac is that it predicts dozens of things each year. Some are right, some are wrong. The few that are right are highlighted, and the rest are ignored. This is confirmation bias, i.e., selective acceptance. We are not asking you to believe in prophecies, but to pay attention. This event is so significant that even the Simpsons guessed it. But there is a prophecy that is more widely circulated, sounds more shocking, and is false. A passage circulating on social media is attributed to Nostradamus, roughly stating that the Western world will be ruled by a weak man, with a Jezebel, a ruthless woman, by his side. Many say this prophecy refers to Biden and Jill, claiming it was destiny written hundreds of years ago. But we have checked it word for word. Snoops and Politifact have verified that Nostradamus never wrote these lines. More decisively, the term "Western world" only appeared in history in 1586, while Nostradamus died in 1566. In other words, this prophecy was fabricated by someone and spread online. The principle of News Yi is that we do not use false information to strengthen our arguments. Because if you need to use false prophecies to support a narrative, then your narrative itself is not strong enough. What actually happened is shocking enough. There is a metaphor that is not a prophecy, but in 2024, it spread more widely than many prophecies: Lady Macbeth, Shakespeare's most famous ambitious woman, a character who pushed her husband towards power from behind the scenes, ultimately leading both to ruin. After the Biden debate disaster in July 2024, Newsweek, The American Spectator, The Washington Times, and many other media outlets almost simultaneously used the same metaphor: Jill Biden is Lady Macbeth. This is not from conspiracy theory websites; it is analysis published by named media commentators in mainstream publications. Even more intriguing, in June of the same year, a person interviewed by the New York Post said something. This person was Jill Biden's first ex-husband, Bill Stevenson. He said, "Many people say she wants to be president." It was an ex-husband, not a political opponent. It was someone who had known her for decades. His statement is personal opinion, not independently verified. He is a Trump supporter, and you should know this background. But he pointed to a question, not an answer. Lady Macbeth is literature, the passage from Nostradamus is a false prophecy, The Simpsons is a coincidence, but these three things appearing simultaneously, concerning the same person, at the same time. You decide whether it's a coincidence or some kind of pattern. On June 2, 2026, Biden's memoir was officially published, titled "View from the East Wing," the perspective of the White House East Wing. Published by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. The East Wing is where the First Lady's office is located, a different place from the West Wing where the President resides. It is a real architectural distance. After the book's publication, Jill began attending a series of interviews and book readings. This CBS interview was one of them. In the book, she wrote that after Trump's election victory, she felt the East Wing was taken from her, a feeling of being forcibly evicted. According to reports, she accepted this like a long-term tenant suddenly having to move out. This was the description she used herself in the interview. Why would someone who says she was just there to support her husband feel like she was being evicted, rather than her husband being evicted? This description itself is a clue. But the strongest reaction to the memoir's publication was not from the media, but from her own people. According to Axios reporter Alex Thompson, he was shocked by the anger and frustration he heard from former Biden aides towards the former First Lady in the past 24 hours. One former senior campaign advisor said that in 2024, they were often told they had misjudged, that it was Jill and a few core individuals telling them not to worry, that everything was normal. In her own words, "We were gaslighted." How do these people feel now, looking at the same memoir? Even more ironically, in the same week, Trump posted on Truth Social in response. Trump said, "Jill Biden now admits she didn't know what Biden was doing on the debate stage. She said she thought he was having a stroke, all sorts of bad things, but she didn't rush to help him." Then Trump asked, "Was my performance that strong that night that it broke him, or was there another reason?" No one knows the answer, but I know this is Trump's tone. But the question he asked is actually the core of the entire issue. In May 2025, new information emerged: former President Biden was diagnosed with prostate cancer that had already spread to stage 4 bone cancer. The medical institution stated at the time of the announcement that this condition was aggressive but usually manageable. Under primary accompaniment, Biden underwent radiation therapy and hormone therapy. He stated in the CBS interview that although Biden did not expect this, his mental state was good, and he quickly recovered. This is what he said publicly in the interview. However, according to other media reports, Biden's friends privately said he sometimes appeared more tired recently, attributing it to the stress of cancer and treatment. Two versions of the same person, does this feeling seem familiar? But analysts say that an 82-year-old former president diagnosed with metastatic cancer, and his partner describes him in public as happily recovered. Does this description sound familiar? It's the same familiarity as that night in 2024. We are not here to judge whether Biden is a good person or a bad person. This question is on another level. In political science, there is a concept called the Principal-Agent Problem. It means that when one person makes decisions on behalf of another, whose interests are they representing? The interests of the actual principal? Their own interests? Or a combination of both? They are not necessarily the same. The First Lady's actions stemmed from love for her husband, but the result was that the position of President of the United States was managed by someone who had never been elected for over a year. This is a historical record, not an interpretation. Biden is a capable, educated, and discerning person, but he has never appeared on a ballot. He has never appeared in any publicly confirmed power transition process. This is not about him personally; it is about the system design. After concluding this episode, we want to leave you with three questions. First, if Jill truly believed her husband was fully capable, then where did the thought "Did he have a stroke?" come from that night during the debate? Second, if Jill acted out of love, then is telling the entire nation something completely opposite to one's private thoughts an act of protection or deception? Third, if all of this was driven by power, by not wanting to leave that position, then why was it first mentioned in a memoir, rather than at the time? "View from the East Wing" was published on June 2, 2026, almost two years after Biden withdrew from the election, and nearly two years after the debate. Whether the answers in the book are complete, only you will know after reading it. What we know now is that on the night of June 27, 2024, a woman thought her husband might be having a stroke, then went out and told the world he was perfect. This is chronologically recorded, with footage, and she later admitted it herself. As for the reasons behind it: love? fear? or power? Or all three? The answer is not for us to provide.
