 Rick Lindsay at the editor's desk on this Thursday morning. It's 846 along with Manda Factor. I'm Brian Calvers. A new report this morning says George Clooney talked with former President Barack Obama before the actor called for President Biden to bow out of the race for the White House yesterday. The report cites people familiar with the conversation who say, well, Obama didn't encourage Clooney to go public with his concerns. He didn't object to it either. In a New York Times op-ed, Clooney said he recently hosted a fundraiser for Biden and noted he was not the Joe Biden of 2010.
