This is not going to This 47 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 8: is not going to end well. If it continues to 48 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 8: drag out. 49 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 6: I won't spend the news that good getting you.

On Friday, audio 55 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 11: from her report was released. Some of you will remember 56 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 11: Robert Hurr as part of the investigation into then President 57 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 11: Joe Biden. He interviewed Biden at length, and his report 58 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 11: said that Biden had committed crimes and for that he 59 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 11: should be prosecuted and punished. However, he added, not that 60 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 11: I believe this is the sort of thing he should 61 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 11: have added. He added, however, I don't believe. I think 62 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 11: he is infirm, and I don't think he could stand 63 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 11: a trial. At that moment, Joe Biden was running for president, 64 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 11: and there was no question that he was going to 65 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 11: run for president reelection. No one was calling for him 66 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 11: to step down. Not one person Beto O'Rourke, who now 67 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 11: says he shouldn't have run. All these Democrats who are 68 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 11: now rushing to say I didn't think he should run. 69 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 2: You didn't say that. Then you didn't say that. 70 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 11: Then the report said, yes, he committed crimes, Yes he 71 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 11: should be punished for that, but no, don't punish him 72 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 11: because he is too infirm to stand for trial. The 73 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 11: democrat did not say, wait a second, guys, this is 74 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 11: bigger than a power play. If a guy cannot stand 75 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 11: trial for his crimes, then he's not mentally strong enough 76 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 11: to be the commander in chief. He's not mentally strong 77 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 11: enough to be the president. We've got him do something here. 78 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 11: This is not right. We cannot let this guy be 79 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 11: in the White House because then we don't know who's 80 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 11: running the country. So we've got to all come together 81 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 11: and demand that Joe Biden stepped down. They did not 82 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 11: do that. So now they're all closing ranks and running away. 83 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 11: CNN is closing ranks around Jake Tapper. So on Friday, 84 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 11: you've got the her report came out with the actual 85 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 11: audio where you hear. 86 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: Biden mumbling and bumbling. We'll play that in a bit. 87 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 11: And then today and tomorrow you've got the rollout of 88 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 11: Jake Tapper's book with Alex Thompson Axios called Original Sin. 89 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 2: And I'm in Washington, DC right now. 90 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 11: I can tell you there's a cigar lounge I go 91 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 11: to and smoke and meet people there for meetings. It's 92 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 11: all anybody is talking about, is this book, because it's 93 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 11: going to lay it all bare. So what happens over 94 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 11: the weekend, Oh boom. You can't criticize Joe Biden. He's 95 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 11: got stage five metastasized cancer that's in his bones, which, 96 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 11: as you'll come to find out, isn't an overnight cancer. 97 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 11: He's likely had it for years. Even Brian Stelter at 98 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 11: CNN says, huh odd timing on this. 99 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 12: I'm seeing some prostate cancer survivors, people who have lived 100 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 12: with this disease, who have been through this, expressing support, 101 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 12: book condolences, but also support and cheering Biden on as 102 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 12: he faces this. The timing, Jessica is just extraordinary. We 103 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 12: know from the statement from his personal spokesman that Biden 104 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 12: learned of the diagnosis on Friday. 105 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: Well, what was the biggest Biden story on Friday? 106 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 12: It was the release of those audio excerpts from his 107 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 12: conversations with Robert Herb back in twenty twenty three. This 108 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 12: was the audio that Axios obtained almost certainly from the 109 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 12: Trump administration, showing memory lapses. And you heard a lot 110 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 12: of people on Friday talking about that audio being hard 111 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 12: to hear, even excruciating to hear Biden showing his age 112 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 12: on those audio tapes that had never been heard by 113 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 12: the public until now. So on the day that story 114 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 12: was breaking, Biden was facing this personal news, at least 115 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 12: that's according to this statement from his personal spokesman. So 116 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 12: you have that as one element of the timing here 117 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 12: and then you have as you and Paul just acknowledged 118 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 12: this book coming out one of the biggest political books 119 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 12: in several years. Take out our colleague Jake Tapper for 120 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 12: a second. This book, no matter Who, no matter where, 121 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 12: was coming from was going to be a very big 122 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 12: blockbuster book, and it just so happens two of the 123 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 12: best reporters in Washington, Jake Tappernow and Thompson are the 124 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 12: authors of it. It's already a best seller based on 125 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 12: a number of pre orders. And so this book comes 126 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 12: out in two days, but some of the excerpts of 127 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 12: our they come out, and it's reignited this debate in 128 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 12: Washington and beyond within the Democratic Party about Biden, about 129 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 12: whether he should have run for reelection at all. So 130 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 12: it seems to me that this debate doesn't end at all, 131 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 12: but it is briefly put on pause as a. 132 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 8: Result of the Captain something wong, Well, something must be right. 133 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: You're listening to Michael Berry. 134 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 11: See I just sent it to You may not be 135 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 11: able to play it in real time, but if you could, 136 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 11: if you could load it. It's Bernie Sanders talking to 137 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 11: Andrew Schultz on Andrew Schultz's podcast and. 138 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 2: We'll play it in just a moment. 139 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 11: But it's Bernie Sanders basically admitting that since two thousand 140 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 11: you got it that fast. 141 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 2: Okay, well it is. I didn't expect you to have 142 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: it that fast. 143 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 11: It's Bernie Sanders admitting the Democrats haven't actually had a 144 00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 11: fair primary since two thousand and eight, and the process 145 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 11: is rigged. 146 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: So when they say that Trump is a threat. 147 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 11: To democracy, the actual threat to democracy is the Democrat 148 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 11: Party where a very small select group talk about an oligopoly, 149 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 11: very small, select, powerful group of insiders, the sadducees, they choose, 150 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 11: They choose the nominee. The Democrat voter doesn't get to choose. 151 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 11: So what do they do to defend themselves? What Rush 152 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 11: always said, whatever they accuse you of is what they're doing. 153 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 11: This is a threat to democracy. The hand choice, the 154 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 11: hand picked choice of Kamala Harris is only one example. 155 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 11: They did the same thing with Biden in twenty They 156 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 11: did the same thing with Hillary Clinton in twenty sixteen. Heck, 157 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 11: Debbie Wasserman Schultz basically rigged that whole election. 158 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: Anyway, here's Bernie Sanders, and. 159 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 11: Yes, is he miffed? Is it sour grapes. You better 160 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 11: believe it is he a nut. Sure, but sometimes even 161 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 11: a blind squirrel can find a nut, and sometimes even 162 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 11: a nut can make a point that is accurate for 163 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 11: our purposes. And this is one example. 164 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 13: The problem I think a lot of voters had is 165 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 13: like they didn't even know if it was hurt. 166 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: We didn't even know if Biden was president. We didn't 167 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: even know if these were her talking points. 168 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 13: And we felt that over the last four elections, Democrats, 169 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 13: we felt that we didn't have a say on who 170 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 13: could be president. 171 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: We talk a lot about. 172 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 13: The Republicans being autocrats and oligarchs and taking over democracy. 173 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,560 Speaker 13: But from the Democrat perspective, and as I'm a lifelong Democrat, 174 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 13: I felt like the Democratic Party completely removed the democratic 175 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 13: process from its constituents. 176 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: And then I think they need to have some accountability 177 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: of that. No argument, I don't for you. I wanted 178 00:10:59,679 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: you to. 179 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 13: Like twenty sixteen, I was like, this is going to happen, 180 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 13: and this guy's going to do it, and it felt 181 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 13: like they it felt like they stole it from it. 182 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: And I'll be honest, it broke my heart when you 183 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: when you supported him. 184 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: Look, but you have in the world that I live in. 185 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 14: You got a choice, and I mean a lot of 186 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 14: people pleading, my wife agree with you. But you know, 187 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 14: you're down to a choice. It's going to be Hillary 188 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 14: Clinton or is it going to be Donald Trump? Not 189 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 14: a great choice, but it ended up being him anyway. 190 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 14: So why don't we burn it down? Well, because it's 191 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,960 Speaker 14: easy to say, burning it down means that children are 192 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 14: not going to have you know, footia, that the schools 193 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 14: will deteriorate, people will not have healthcare. 194 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 2: I got it. 195 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 14: And you know, I'm an elected official. I got to 196 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 14: represent the people. No, I can't turn my back on. 197 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 13: But then could we not also say, if ostensibly there 198 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 13: hasn't been a fair primary for the Democrats since two 199 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 13: thousand and eight, are they not also a threat to democracy? 200 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: We often hear. 201 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 14: Fair enough that is that is Yeah, I'm not going 202 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 14: to argue with that. 203 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 11: Again, it's very important that people understand this. The problem 204 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 11: is you do understand it. It's the naive neighbor that doesn't. 205 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 11: People don't want to believe the evil afoot in this 206 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 11: country because the media keeps saying the Democrats are the 207 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 11: nice guys. The media keeps saying that Trump is the 208 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 11: threat to democracy, and a lot of people don't pay 209 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 11: close enough attention, don't ask questions, They amble alone. They're 210 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 11: doing the best they can, and they have no idea 211 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 11: that they're being lied to, and they have no one 212 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 11: explaining to them that they're being lied to. And it's 213 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 11: sort of like how people do la la la la 214 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 11: laud when they find out that the priest is diddling 215 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 11: the kid at the church, or the deep state is. 216 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: Spying on you. 217 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 11: Or the clock shot caused people to die. They don't 218 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 11: want to have to think about it because then they 219 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 11: would have to decide how they feel about it, and 220 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 11: they don't want to do that. It's easier not to know, 221 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 11: not to question. So you've got Joe Biden. On Friday, 222 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 11: the herb Report comes out, and we're going to listen 223 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 11: to those in a moment tomorrow Today and tomorrow the 224 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 11: book comes out by Jake Tapper, and Alex Thompson says, 225 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 11: everybody admits, yeah, we knew he was nuts. 226 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: He was falling over. 227 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 11: We're going to put him in a wheelchair if he 228 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 11: got elected, and all these people were controlling him, And 229 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 11: the book suggests it goes back to twenty seventeen that 230 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 11: is long before he is the nominee in twenty twenty. 231 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 11: So what do they do over the weekend. Oh, he 232 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 11: has very advanced cancer. He's about to die. Please don't, please, 233 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 11: don't y'all quit talking about this. He's about to die. 234 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 11: You can stop talking about it now. Well, they tell 235 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 11: us that he was just diagnosed, but doctor after doctor 236 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 11: says no, no, no, no, no, an advanced. 237 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: Cancer like this. He was the president until a few 238 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 2: months ago. 239 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 11: He had the best medical care possible, so he had 240 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 11: to have cancer for quite some time. Well, he went 241 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 11: off script in twenty twenty two. The White House called. 242 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: This a gaff. This wasn't a gaff. This was a confession. Listen. 243 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,479 Speaker 9: And because it was a four lane highway that was accessible, 244 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 9: my mother drove us and rather than us to be 245 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 9: able to walk and guess what the first frost. 246 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: You know what was happening. 247 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 9: It had to put on the windshield wipers to get 248 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 9: literally the oil slick off the window. That's why I 249 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 9: had so damn any other people I grew up had cancer, 250 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 9: and why camp for the longest time, Dellawer had the 251 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 9: highest cancer rate in the nation. 252 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 11: That's why I have cancer, not had have romon. Let's 253 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 11: drop down to clip six point fifteen. Doctor Schusterman, a 254 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 11: urologist on News Nations, saying, well, it's. 255 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 15: Very unlikely that someone could get annual checkups and not 256 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 15: notice a PSA elevation over the past, you know, But 257 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 15: this is what I typically would see in a VA 258 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 15: hospital where a patient hasn't had medical intention in ten years, 259 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 15: presents to an emergency room with bone pain and then 260 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 15: they find that it's metastatic prostate cancer. But in the 261 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 15: modern age of medicine, especially the fact that he was 262 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 15: a former president, he had intensive state of the art, 263 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 15: you know care where we can see prostate cancer, you know, 264 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 15: ten years in the past. 265 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 2: So this is I mean, it's it's. 266 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 15: Very unusual to hear that someone has prostate cancer where 267 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 15: they're annually being followed up, and the fact that we 268 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 15: just find it at a glease of nine is just 269 00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 15: pretty much unheard of it mid day and age of 270 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 15: good medicine. 271 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 3: I truly believe that the worst thing that ever happened 272 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 3: to America was slavery Michael Berry Show. 273 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 4: And the best thing that ever happened to slavery was 274 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 4: America and the Republican Party. 275 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 11: So we find out that Joe Biden has cancer. Oddly enough, 276 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 11: we find that out the day after her report is revealed, 277 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 11: which shows a frail, demented, wandering Joe Biden, and the 278 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 11: day before the book comes out that says they all 279 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 11: knew he was out of it. They were just wheeling 280 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 11: him out there, controlling everything going back to twenty seventeen 281 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 11: so they could remain in power, and a lot of people, 282 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 11: you know, jd Vance was asked the question, what do 283 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 11: you think about all this is going on with Joe Biden, 284 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 11: And he said, I don't blame Joe Biden. I blame 285 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 11: the people around him. Joe Biden is a sad victim 286 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 11: in all of this. 287 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 4: Now. 288 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 11: I don't mean to say Joe Biden's a good guy. 289 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 11: I mean to say Joe Biden hadn't known where he 290 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 11: was for a very long time, and you could see 291 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 11: it in every speech he gave. It wasn't as if 292 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 11: he showed up to that debate and all of a sudden, 293 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 11: he's a rambling old man who doesn't know where he is, 294 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 11: who looks like the homeless guy the bus stop as 295 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 11: you go by, screaming. Charlie Manson phrases this has been 296 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 11: going on for a long time. He's been in a steep, 297 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,439 Speaker 11: steep decline and talking big about fighting this person and 298 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 11: corn pop and this. You know, just absolute fantastical stuff. 299 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 11: He's living in a fantasy world. And for that reason, 300 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 11: he wasn't the president. The person controlling the country was 301 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 11: the person loading the teleprompter. So then we go back 302 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 11: to the other people involved. Here's Kamala her during the 303 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 11: vice presidential debate in twenty twenty. The question was asked 304 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 11: about health issues of Joe Biden because we can't ask 305 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 11: it directly, but we all know the man is in 306 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 11: a very, very severe decline. And so what does she say, Oh, 307 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,719 Speaker 11: one thing about old Joe. 308 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 2: Old Joe. 309 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 11: Now he tells it like it is. You're going to 310 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 11: know exactly because old Joe. You know, again, this is 311 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 11: the equivalent of telling us what a nice guy Charlie 312 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 11: Manson is. As we're looking at the blood stained pigs 313 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 11: written across the wall and here's a pregnant woman having 314 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 11: been murdered. They're gaslighting you to a degree that you 315 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 11: can't believe they can say this with a straight face. 316 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 16: Do voters have a right to know more detailed health 317 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 16: information about presidential candidates and especially about presidents. 318 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 17: Susan, I'm glad to ask about transparency because it has 319 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 17: to be across the board. Joe has been incredibly transparent 320 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 17: over many, many years. The one thing we all know 321 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 17: about Joe, he puts it all out there. Oh yeah, 322 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 17: he is honest, he is horthright. 323 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 18: Oh. 324 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 17: But Donald Trump, on the other hand, has been about 325 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 17: covering up everything. 326 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, all right, Yeah, that's old Joe. One 327 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 2: thing about old Joe, he puts it out there. Now Trump, 328 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 2: he's a threat to democracy. He's a bad fellow. 329 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 11: Doctor Jamine Rambot was on CNN a urologist, and he's 330 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 11: the one who said, look, this isn't a cancer that 331 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 11: just pops up on you, not at this advanced state. 332 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 11: And by the way, he was under the care of 333 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 11: the White House physician until four months ago. 334 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,439 Speaker 2: Really you believe you think we're going to believe this? 335 00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 2: He says. 336 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 11: It does not advance like is this takes years years. 337 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:09,919 Speaker 11: Adam Scott Adams, who did the Dilbert cartoons, announcing I. 338 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 2: Don't know I saw it this morning. I don't know 339 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 2: if it was today. He announced it over the weekend. 340 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 11: He said, I have the exact same cancer that Joe 341 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 11: Biden has, and I've had it longer than he has. 342 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 11: And he says he doesn't expect to make it through 343 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 11: the summer. He expects that he'll pass this summer. He announces 344 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 11: on his podcast, and he said, this is a slow 345 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 11: growing cancer. It doesn't creep up on you. It's you 346 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 11: detect it. And if you're in the White House as 347 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 11: the president, they are monitoring your blood, they are monitoring 348 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 11: your PSAs, they are monitoring all the factors that would 349 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 11: tell that you have prostate cancer. This isn't a rare 350 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 11: condition that nobody notices. This isn't a hidden embolism tucked 351 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 11: under a lobe and the loan that can go under diagnosed. 352 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 11: This isn't a rare condition. You have fatigue and we 353 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 11: can't figure out what it is and then finds out 354 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 11: it's a one in a twenty million condition. Prostate cancer 355 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 11: is pretty advanced. It's the male breast cancer. A lot 356 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 11: of men are going to have it. We've made great 357 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 11: investments and great advancements, and everyone knows this to be true. 358 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 11: Everyone knows this to be true. So here's what he 359 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 11: says about the treatment. 360 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 19: He's not my patient but if I had a patient 361 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 19: like him with all the medical stuff that he has, 362 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 19: including whether it's the physical or the mental, you know, 363 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 19: you really have to take that into account because all 364 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 19: these treatments do have potential side effects. One of the 365 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 19: biggest side effects that I see in my patients that 366 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 19: get these harmone treatments could be cognitive changes. So you 367 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 19: have to kind of balance that. People can also get 368 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 19: issues with fatigue and weight loss. 369 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 11: What's important to note out of all of this, the 370 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 11: Democrats say, we had no idea, We had no idea 371 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 11: he was sick, none we'd known he had an idea, 372 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 11: and his own brother, Frank says, this is the reason 373 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 11: he dropped out. You mean, in June of last year 374 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 11: he dropped out because he was sick. Well, that's odd, 375 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 11: because they're claiming they just now found out. 376 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 20: CBS News had a brief conversation with Frank Biden, one 377 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 20: of President Biden's two younger brothers, and here's what he 378 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 20: told us. He said, I'm incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, 379 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,119 Speaker 20: I will have him back to enjoy whatever time we 380 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 20: have left. 381 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 16: He is a genuine hero. 382 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 20: Country over self sounds corny in our cynical political environment, 383 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 20: but he nor I are cynical. The goal remains the same, 384 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 20: defeat Trump and continued the work that Joe has done. 385 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 20: My hope is that our party rallies around this heroic act. 386 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 20: We asked him whether he feels that his brother's overall 387 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 20: health and vitality played a major role in this decision, 388 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 20: and he says, in my humble opinion, absolutely so. A 389 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 20: member of the president's family now confirming that the president's 390 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 20: health was indeed a major factor in this decision and 391 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 20: calling his brother a hero for making the decision to 392 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 20: pass the torch Ta Kamala Harris. 393 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 21: So, Nancy, sorry, can you clarify that the family is 394 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 21: saying his health was or was not a factor. 395 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 20: He's saying that, in his humble opinion, yes, the President's 396 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 20: health and vitality played a considerable role in his decision. 397 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 20: It's important to note Frank Biden is not speaking for 398 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 20: the family writ large. This was simply a conversation between 399 00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 20: CBS News and Frank Biden. Unclear how much input he 400 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 20: had in this decision, but he says that says that 401 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 20: he believes that his brother's health did play a role, 402 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 20: and he says that the goal remains the same to 403 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 20: defeat Donald Trump. 404 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 21: Well, that is notable because today the family, the White House, 405 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 21: the establishment has rejected the premise that there was anything 406 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 21: that was challenging the president's mental acuity or his health, 407 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 21: and that all these accusations were baseless, that it was 408 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 21: just age and a few difficult nights like he had 409 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:35,719 Speaker 21: on the debate stage. 410 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: So that is a change in message. 411 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 11: And Julle Biden comes off like Kathy Bates in misery, 412 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 11: just abusing this old man. She put him out on 413 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 11: the view it was a week or two ago, knowing 414 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:49,439 Speaker 11: what shape he's in. 415 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 15: It the Michael Barry Show, Michael Berry Show. 416 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 2: So let's reacat. We've got Robert her audio coming. 417 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 11: Out on Friday, which is very damn for what a 418 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 11: mental state Joe Biden was in, and that the conclusion 419 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 11: was he committed crimes, but he was so infirm, there's 420 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 11: no reason to prosecute him because he wouldn't be able 421 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 11: to handle it, wouldn't be able to testify, but he 422 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 11: could still. He was running for president at the time, 423 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 11: and nobody was bothered by that. And then we've got 424 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 11: the book coming out from Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson 425 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 11: set called Original Sin, that is that traces back to 426 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 11: twenty seventeen, his mental and physical decline and how bad 427 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 11: it was, and how everybody was in on it, and 428 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 11: they all talked about it. And you know, Jake Sullivan, 429 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 11: who he'd known for decades, would walk in, he'd call 430 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 11: him Steve. He didn't know people's names that were that 431 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 11: were longtime friends. And yet all the time Majorcus mourning Joe. 432 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,360 Speaker 11: All these people were saying, he's as sharp as he's 433 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 11: ever been. And they were lying. Kamala, all of them lying. 434 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 11: It's what they do. 435 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 2: They lie. 436 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 11: Now they've all been caught and there's no doubt about 437 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 11: it any longer. There's no question about it any longer. 438 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 11: Same people who lie about Trump every day, same people 439 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 11: who lie about everything every day. They're absolute scoundrels. So 440 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 11: in the middle of those two bookends, over the weekend, 441 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 11: they roll out their big nuclear weapon, which is, don't 442 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 11: talk bad about Joe. He's got advanced cancer. Wait what Oh, 443 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 11: so this massive cover up we're supposed to move past it. 444 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 11: I'm not sure what's worse. 445 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 2: Is that they. 446 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 11: Roll this out in the middle of all that to 447 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 11: make this all go away as if we're that stupid 448 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 11: or that some people will be some people will email 449 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 11: me tonight, Michael, don't talk bad about bad it.
