Bedford's piece, which was steeped in skepticism, questioned the veracity of Biden's claims of having restored "normalcy" to American statecraft and making the world safer and more stable than it was four years ago.
Bedford's critique of Biden's speech was not limited to its content. He also commented on the President's delivery, describing it as marked by "angry yells and menacing whispers." Bedford quoted Biden's slurred words, "Izraderfur peace and real security," as an example of his public decline.

Bedford's critique extended beyond Biden's speech to his entire presidency. He argued that Biden's foreign policy has been anything but steady, and that the world is less safe than when he took office. Bedford also criticized the press for its lack of skepticism towards Biden from the moment he secured the Democratic nomination in 2020 to his debate with Trump in 2024.

Bedford's piece also touched on the broader issue of the American press's partisan leanings and its tendency to cover up inconvenient narratives. He recalled how the press hid the fact that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt couldn't walk and covered up President John F. Kennedy's affairs. Bedford argued that this lack of curiosity for inconvenient narratives is a dominant feature of the Washington groupthink.
