1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: The Biden cover up and the story of the cognitive 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: decline of Joe Biden number one, but also now what 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: could be the cover up with his medical issues is 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: a very big story, and this cover up is one 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: that is now being covered up by the mainstream media 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: not wanting you to talk about it, know about it, 7 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: hear anything about it at all. ABC, CBS, NBC, and 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: PBS spent a shocking combined seven minutes on the newest 9 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: Biden decline stories. Now this is put together from some 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: amazing work from NewsBusters, and joining me now to talk 11 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 1: about this is Tim Graham, the executive editor of Newsbuster. Tim, 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: you guys do an amazing job. We quote your stuff 13 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: often here. But this is one of those stories yet 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,600 Speaker 1: again showing just how biased the media is by refusing 15 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 1: to talk about the cover up from this book original 16 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: Sin that's been put out there by axiosin by Jake Tapper, 17 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: a reporter, and they're not covering it, and they're certainly 18 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: not covering it the other issues as well. 19 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 2: Well. Thank you, Ben. I think obviously the revelation started 20 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 2: coming out of this book with these stories, like the 21 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: Biden team was considering getting a wheelchair for the President 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 2: because he was having such trouble getting around stories like 23 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: this that they couldn't you know, they didn't want that 24 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 2: to come out before the election, even after he stepped down, 25 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: because the obvious point was he should have just resigned, 26 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: you know, when he dropped out of the race, because 27 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: if he wasn't able to run for president, why is 28 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: he able to be president? But again, everybody wanted to 29 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: accommodate the Bidens rather than serve the American people. But yeah, 30 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 2: what's amazing about this is, yeah, we have seven minutes 31 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 2: of coverage and almost all of it is NBC News, 32 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 2: like five minutes plus of the seven is NBC News, 33 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: ABC and CBS put together didn't get to a full minutes. 34 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: And PBS just didn't want to touch it at all. 35 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: So they touch it. 36 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the things that is 37 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: just incredible. If you talk about the book, and it's 38 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: called original sin, the original sin of virtually all of 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: these organizations is that they knew there was a massive 40 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: cognitive decline and they were held bent on making sure 41 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: that was never ever covered. 42 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: And obviously, what the book tells you is that the 43 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: Biden team would scream at you if you even asked 44 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 2: the questions, and so they you know, that's where you 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: say the idea that the national media can portray themselves 46 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: as independent bactcheckers holding the government accountable. None of that's 47 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: true because they're so easily intimidated by Biden White House pressure. 48 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 2: They weren't independent at all. They were playing. They were 49 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 2: They reported like they were teammates. That's their whole problem. 50 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: They're not referees, they're teammates. They want to make sure 51 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: the team wins. That's what comes first and foremost. So 52 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: they don't care about the truth. They're not fact checkers. 53 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 2: They are spin you know, spin machines, and they spin 54 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: whatever messages the Democrats want you to have. 55 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 3: Today, let's talk about the cover up. 56 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: Of the cover up, and this goes to Jake Tapper specifically. 57 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: It is amazing how rich it is for a guy 58 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: like Tapper to write a book now and to say, oh, 59 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you about the cover up that 60 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: I was a part of. You couldn't go on Jake 61 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: Tapper's show and talk about this, I want to be 62 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: very clear, and he would shut you down in silence 63 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: you if you tried to challenge him on it, including 64 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: Laura Trump. 65 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 3: We saw that happen in an interview. 66 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 1: But when I was at SANAA as a political commentator, 67 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: we were told, when this conversation had begun about the 68 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: cognitive clinent of John Biden, we weren't allowed to talk 69 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: about it. We're not going to speculate. You're not a doctor, 70 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: you're not a neurologist. A list was on on we 71 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: will not talk about this, CNN, We're not to bring 72 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: it up. 73 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: And then now all of a. 74 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: Sudden, he's like, hey, let me be a best selling 75 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: author and tell you about the cover up that I 76 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 1: was a part of. 77 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, this is what's so funny about all 78 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 2: of this, when they say you're not a doctor and 79 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 2: you can't speculate. We sat here at NewsBusters and chronicled 80 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 2: many times many Brian Stelter stories, among others, where they 81 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 2: said Donald Trump is mentally unfit to be president. Donald 82 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: Trump needs a twenty fifth Amendment quote unquote solution, he 83 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 2: doesn't have the mental fitness. They would bring on these psychologists, experts, 84 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: you know, on the so called reliable Sources show, and 85 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 2: they would say he's not fit to be president. So 86 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,919 Speaker 2: the idea that CNN would see, on the one hand, 87 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: you can't speculate about Biden's mental health and then endlessly 88 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 2: speculate about Trump's just shows you what you're getting from CNN. 89 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: So let's talk about the accountability on this issue. And 90 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: I think this is a really important point that needs 91 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: to be made. You know, there was speculation now from 92 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: a lot of this reporting that's coming out that there 93 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: were five people apparently running the United States of America 94 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: acting as president of the United States of America. 95 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: Their speculation on who those five may be. 96 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: Let me guess, are we seeing this be another blackout 97 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: of the media where they're not asking questions even after 98 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: what we know in this reporting? 99 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 2: Sure, I mean, I think they are trying to suggest 100 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 2: they've named some names here of the people who were 101 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: who were the palace guard around Biden, what they you know, 102 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: But a lot of these revelations are anonymously sourced. You know, 103 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 2: it turns upper and Thompson into Bob Woodward. And you know, 104 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: that's what's always bothered me about books like this. He's 105 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 2: got inflammatory information in it given to you by it 106 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: sources who remain anonymous. And that's because every Democrat or 107 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: Republican who's who dishes this out, wants to protect their 108 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 2: own future so that they can work in politics again, 109 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 2: so that you know, the reporters obviously accept this deal 110 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: of I'm going to get the bombshells and nobody's really 111 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 2: going to care whose name is on it. Now, there 112 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: are people in here who are brave enough to just 113 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 2: state on the record. I saw him. I was concerned. 114 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: I mean, but you know, some of them are elected people. 115 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: Senator Mark Warner, who is very explicit about I talked 116 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: to Biden about the houties or whatever, and I got 117 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: no sense that he understood what I was saying. You know, 118 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: so put your name should be put on this. And again, 119 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: if you were going to be honest about what Biden said, 120 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: here's one of the reasons why you want to remain anonymous, 121 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: because and Tapper and Thompson do make this point. These 122 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 2: are people who fiercely defended Biden's sharpness at the same 123 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: time they were looking at the guy falling apart, and 124 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: that doesn't make them look like truth tellers. 125 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: So let's go to the takeaways here, and I want 126 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: to get your take on this and the work that 127 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: you guys do. 128 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: I hope everybody will check you out. 129 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: Follow you obviously on social media as well, because you 130 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: guys put up incredible stuff. We use a lot of 131 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: it here and I want people to make sure they 132 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: can find it. You guys, if you're online, you can 133 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: go to NewsBusters dot org. You can find them on 134 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: social media, on Facebook, on acts, etc. Grab it there. 135 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: But let's talk about the accountability here with the media. 136 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: You look and go back to your you guys analysis 137 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: of ABC, CBSNBC. There eve news and more news programs 138 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: as well as PBS News Hour. You go back to 139 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: May thirteenth through the morning of May nineteenth, y'all found 140 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: they spend a grand total of the seven minutes and 141 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: sixteen seconds on the reporting from Tapper and his co 142 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: author Alex Thompson, Like this is amazing. They don't want 143 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: this story to ever show up. They want to be 144 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: silent on it. They want to be quiet on it. 145 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: They want to move on as quickly as possible. Is 146 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: there going to be accountability for the media that is 147 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: basically at this point state sponsored media. 148 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: Well, obviously, any public opinion poll that you look at 149 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 2: about do you trust the press? We are at all 150 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: time lows. We've been at all time lows for a while, 151 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: and it's you can't get an all time low just 152 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: because Republicans certainly trust the press. You're at an all 153 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 2: time low because independents don't trust the press. Who trusts 154 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 2: the press the most, the Democrats. What does that tell you? 155 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 2: It tells you that when somebody talks, when Corey Booker 156 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: comes out and says we need because we need trustworthy journalism, 157 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: what they mean is they can be trusted to help 158 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 2: the Democrats. And so this is another story when obviously 159 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: it's not just a problem for the media and trustworthiness. Now, 160 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,199 Speaker 2: it's been something that's been going on this entire time 161 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: that people are like, why can't you see what every 162 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: one of us sees? And you know, we would be 163 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: watching something like NBC News at home and the words 164 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 2: from the reporters were all like President Biden did blankety 165 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 2: blank today, and you're watching him walk the way he 166 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: walked and make faces and shake hands with the air, 167 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 2: and it's like, even if the reporters don't really notice 168 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 2: it in their words, everybody can see the picture. And 169 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 2: that does undermine the press. It's like, how do you 170 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 2: not notice that this is going on? You know, it's 171 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: not the emperor has no clothes.

Grahamgrah Am. 178 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 3: There you go. 179 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: Tim, Always a pleasure, look forward to having you back 180 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: here real soon. And congratulations on the work you guys 181 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: are doing. 182 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 2: You bet. 183 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: President Trump announced that the Ukraine and Russia war is 184 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: going to go into negotiations towards a ceasefire and suggested 185 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: that talks could take place at the Vatican. Donald Trump 186 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: put it this way on True Social saying quote, I 187 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: just completed my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin 188 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: of Russia. 189 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 3: I believe it went very well. 190 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: Russian Ukraine will immediately start negotiations towards a ceasefire and 191 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: more importantly, an end to the war. 192 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 3: The conditions for that will. 193 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: Be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only 194 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: be because they know details of a negotiation that nobody 195 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: else would be aware of. The tone and spirit of 196 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: the conversation we're excellent. If it wasn't, I would say 197 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: so now rather than later. Russia wants to do large 198 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: scale trade with the United States when this catastrophic bloodbath 199 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: is over, and I agree. There is a tremendous opportunity 200 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth. 201 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 3: Its potential is unlimited. 202 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: Likewise, Ukraine can be a great beneficiary on trade in 203 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: the process of rebuilding its country. Negotiations between Russia and 204 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: Ukraine will begin immediately. I have also informed President Zelensky 205 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: of Ukraine, as well as the President of the European Commission, 206 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: the President of France, President of Georgia, the President of Italy, 207 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: the Chancellor of Germany, and the President of Finland. During 208 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: a call with me immediately after the call with President Putin, 209 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: the Vatican, as represented by the Pope, has stated that 210 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: it would be very interested in hosting the negotiation. So 211 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: let the process begin, the President says in his statement, 212 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: Now Russian Ukraine again will immediately start negotiations towards the ceasefire. 213 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: That is the big moment here that everyone has been 214 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: waiting for, and part of what the President's clearly offering is, Hey, 215 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: if you guys do this deal and stop this war. 216 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: Then we're going to trade with you again, and there's 217 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: very good chance that many of the sanctions that are 218 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: hurting your economy will disappear as long as you are 219 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: a peaceful nation. After Trump talked with Putin, he spoke 220 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: with the Ukrainian President Zelenski as well as these other 221 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,960 Speaker 1: leaders to let them know what they had talked about, 222 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: because it was, in fact, a very long conversation. Now, 223 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: one other thing about this story that I want you 224 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: to know is what the President actually had to say 225 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: in his own words. I want you to take a 226 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: listen to this from President Trump talking about what happened 227 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: on this call. 228 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 4: Well, I want to thank everybody. We just spent two 229 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 4: and a half hours talking to Vladimir Putin, and I 230 00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 4: think some progress has been made. It's a terrible sit 231 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 4: going on over there. Five thousand young people every single 232 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 4: week of being killed, so hopefully we did something. We 233 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 4: also spoke to the heads of most of the European 234 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 4: nations and we're trying to get that whole thing wrapped up. 235 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 4: What a shame that it ever started in the first place. 236 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: Now, of course, the media is trying to find some 237 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 1: way to say that Donald Trump is bailing on these 238 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: negotiations after having a more than two hour conversation with 239 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: Vadimir Putin, Right, because you can't give credit for real 240 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: leadership if you're in the media. So the press asked 241 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,199 Speaker 1: the president this question about are you guys now taking 242 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: a quote back seat and walking away? 243 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: Listen to the present response. 244 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 5: I'm called with President Kuton today. You'd mentioned that the 245 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 5: Pope would like to take a role potentially and immediating 246 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 5: these tasks. 247 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 3: Does that mean that you. 248 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 6: As is taking a step back from No. 249 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 4: No, No, I think it would be great to have it. 250 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 7: At the Vatican. 251 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 4: Maybe you would have some extra significance so that it 252 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 4: was discussed yesterday, so I thought, and people told me 253 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 4: that they'd be on there to do it, I would 254 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 4: imagine they would be. So No, I think it would 255 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 4: be maybe helpful. This tremendous bitterness anger, and I think 256 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 4: maybe that could help some of that anger. So having 257 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 4: it that the Vatican would be in Rome would be 258 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 4: a very I think it would be a great idea. 259 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 3: Thank you. 260 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: Now, even the media is kind of shocked by the 261 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: President's leadership on this one. And I say kind of shocked, 262 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: and I roll my eyes because they shouldn't be. This 263 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: is part of what the President of the United States 264 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: of America said he was going to do. He said, 265 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: if you elect him, he's going to stop these wars. 266 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: No one should. 267 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: Have doubted him when he said I Am going to 268 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: stop these wars, and CNN says Russia State News Agency 269 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: is also reporting that this was a very effective call. 270 00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure that was hard for them to admit. 271 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 5: Take a listen, We're told that the phone call between 272 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 5: President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin has ended. That's 273 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 5: according to a White House official. I'm going to get 274 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 5: straight to our chief International Security correspondent, Nick Peyton Walsh, Nick, 275 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 5: what are you learning? 276 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, this is according to Russian States News Agency tasks 277 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 8: who are giving us the first read out based on 278 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 8: comments made by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who emerged from 279 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 8: this phone call that he took it a music school 280 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 8: in the southern resort town of Tsachi, to say that 281 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 8: it lasted for two hours. He described it as frank 282 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 8: and substantive. He noted that he said that Trump noted 283 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 8: that Russia stands for a peaceful settlement of the crisis 284 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 8: in Ukraine. He said, Russia is in favor of stopping 285 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 8: the fighting, but it's unnecessary to develop the most effective 286 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 8: paths to peace. He also said that a ceasefire is 287 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 8: possible upon reaching the corresponding agreements, and that indeed a 288 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 8: memorandum between Russia and Ukraine may address that particular point. 289 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 8: He said also that the meeting in Istanbul we saw 290 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 8: last week on Friday, low level Russia sent there, suggests 291 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 8: that quote, they're generally on the right track. Al He 292 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 8: said he was very appreciative of a conversation with Trump 293 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 8: and indeed that Russia is ready to work on a 294 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 8: memorandum of a future peace agreement, and that Russia and 295 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 8: Ukraine must find compromises that suit both. 296 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 3: Sides, that suit both sides. 297 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: So you step back from this for just a second, 298 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: and let's just go to what Donald Trump said, Vote 299 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: for me and I'm going to bring peace, not world 300 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: War three. Right, That's what Democrats always wanted to say. 301 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: Vote for me and I'm going to bring peace. That 302 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: is exactly what he's offering here. And the last Trump administration, 303 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: by the way, hit Russia where it hurt. Sanctions, energy dominance, 304 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: and direct military action when necessary. That's what's gotten them 305 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,320 Speaker 1: to the table now because Putin remembers, he also knows 306 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: that Trump isn't bluffing. That's why he didn't move on 307 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: Ukraine during Trump's first term. This is exactly why the 308 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: president United States of America now has the upper hand. 309 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: This has also talked about today on TV as well, 310 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: just reminding people the truth about the past. 311 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 6: The one strategic mistake that mister Putin has made was 312 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 6: another brazen attack on civilians and civilian infrastructure. I think 313 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 6: that that awakens some in the White House. And it's 314 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 6: the United States that holds holds all the tools here, 315 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 6: both economic and military. The last thing Vladimir Putin wants 316 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 6: to do is a return to the first Trump administration, 317 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 6: when his economy was broken by sanctions and a low 318 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 6: price for oil. He pegged his economy to one hundred 319 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 6: dollars a barrel. When Trump finally unleashes the energy power 320 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 6: of the United States, we're going to see oil come 321 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 6: back down again. And Putin will also know that Trump 322 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 6: can turn off the spigots to his banks and isolate 323 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 6: him in that regard. 324 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: And do you think, I mean you just have to 325 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 1: stop there, and you hear this Vladimir Putin knows what 326 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: happens when you screw with Donald Trump. He also knows 327 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: what happened the last time he was president, and it 328 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: absolutely did dismantle, straight up dismantle his economy. Why do 329 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: you think he's come to the table now, It's because 330 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: of you go back to Ronald Reagan, power through strength, 331 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what he's doing right now.

I'm going to play for you longer segments 343 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 1: because I want you to hear this conversation and I 344 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: want you to understand something about Jake, And I think 345 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 1: This is the part that you that I do want 346 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: you to have context for as you're listening. Jake Tapper 347 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: is extremely sanctimonious. When I worked with him for seven 348 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: years at CNN, he thinks he's some sort of God's 349 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: gift to journalism, that he's above reproach, he's better than 350 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: everybody else, And when he gets nailed on these issues, 351 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 1: he's like, well, I've already I've already asked for I've 352 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: already apologized for this, I've already talked to Laura Trump 353 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 1: for the way that I talked to her on my show, 354 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: and I'm just here trying to get out the facts 355 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: now with my book Original Sins like it is just. 356 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 3: Like like I could, I could throw. 357 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: Up over the self righteousness in this interview, but I 358 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 1: want you to hear it because this is how the 359 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 1: media gets away with it. They rewrite history of what 360 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: they actually did for years as a state sponsored media 361 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: individual and they sold you any lie. The White House 362 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 1: seed them to sell, and then when the house comes 363 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: crashing down, they're like, let's do real reporting now. So 364 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: with that being set, take a listener, Megan Kelly Jake 365 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: Tapper talking on this issue. 366 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 5: Jake the criticism has been that you're complaining about a 367 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 5: cover up about Joe Biden's mental acuity that failed that 368 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 5: right wing pundits saw, the right wing in general saw, 369 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 5: that independent media saw and reported on, and that was 370 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 5: no mystery even to left wing and so called mainstream 371 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 5: reporters who were not fooled but chose willful blindness instead 372 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 5: of honest reporting, and that you were part of it. 373 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:47,479 Speaker 3: How do you respond. 374 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 7: It's a tough and fair question. 375 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 9: I would say that Alex and I after election day 376 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 9: interviewed more than two hundred people, two hundred mostly Democratic insiders, 377 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 9: and all these interviews where almost all of these interviews 378 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 9: were after the election, and they justified to themselves what 379 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 9: they had done in terms of misrepresenting how the president 380 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 9: was not just to me and Alex and other reporters, 381 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 9: but also just to each other and to the world 382 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 9: and to Democrats into the cabinet, etc. By saying that 383 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 9: there was this existential threat of Donald Trump and only 384 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 9: Joe Biden could be Donald Trump, and that justified everything 385 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 9: in their minds. After that existential threat was over, because 386 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 9: the election was over and Donald Trump one they were. 387 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 7: We found Alex and myself. 388 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 9: Remarkably willing to talk to us, either off the record 389 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 9: or on background, or in some cases on the record 390 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 9: about what they saw. One of the things that emerged 391 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 9: was that there were two Bidens. One was the fine Biden, serviceable, adequate, 392 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 9: and the other one was a non functioning Biden. One 393 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 9: we saw the night of the debate, and that's the 394 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 9: one we saw some clips of here and there that 395 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 9: you just showed. And that non functioning Biden, the one 396 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 9: that lost his train of thought in a significant way, 397 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 9: not in the way just that every human loses their 398 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 9: train of thought, but in a way that shows that 399 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 9: he's having trouble articulating his very views. 400 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 7: And the one who forgot the name. 401 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 9: Of close aids, who was not able to come up 402 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 9: with George Clooney's name, didn't seem to recognize him. All 403 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 9: that sort of thing that non functioning Biden was, according 404 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 9: to our reporting, showed up as far back as twenty fifteen, 405 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 9: after the death of Bow, where one top aid said 406 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 9: that that tragedy, the loss of Bow, was like watching 407 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 9: somebody pour water on sand. That was the effect on 408 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 9: his psyche. And there were other moments twenty seventeen, twenty 409 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 9: eighteen you hear some her report. One of the reasons 410 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 9: he came to that conclusion was because of the recordings 411 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 9: they heard of Joe Biden in twenty seventeen talking to 412 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 9: his ghostwriter, in which he was similarly inclined. Obviously, in 413 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 9: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, there were other moments like that. 414 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 9: Most of his campaign staff and others would say that 415 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 9: he's you look, he's seventy eight, he's seventy nine, he 416 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 9: has senior moments, but he's fine, he's fine, he's fine. Well, 417 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 9: he wasn't fine, And throughout his presidency, that non functioning 418 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 9: Biden would show up more and more and more, and 419 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 9: he was worse and worse and worse, really deteriorating tremendously. 420 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 9: The next time there was a really horrible family incident, 421 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 9: which was when Hunter Biden's plea deal fell apart in 422 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 9: the summer of twenty twenty three, and then obviously in 423 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 9: June he was convicted, and the thought the fear of 424 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 9: losing his son, not to jail, but maybe to another, 425 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 9: to a relapse, to an overdose, to a suicide, who knows, 426 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 9: was a very real fear, and the threat of losing 427 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 9: a third child really just diminished him tremendously, according to 428 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 9: top ads. So all of which is to say that 429 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 9: this was a deterioration, this was a progression. And look, 430 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 9: knowing what I know now, obviously I feel tremendous humility 431 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 9: about my coverage that Laura Trump interviewed, for example, et cetera. 432 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 9: She saw something, She saw something that I did not 433 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 9: see at the time, one hundred percent, and I own that. 434 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 7: I did ask Joe Biden. 435 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 3: By the way, just pause there. 436 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: This is the sanctimonious Jake Tapper that is just exhausting 437 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: to me. He's like, she saw something that at the 438 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: time that I did not see. What are you joking? 439 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: Everybody saw it, You just didn't want to believe it. 440 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: In fact, I don't. There's one thing about Jake Tapper 441 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,959 Speaker 1: that I want to be queer about. I actually think 442 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper is extremely smart. I think he's a really 443 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: good at lying to you about this one. And the 444 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: idea that he didn't see the Cogniti decline, it would 445 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: mean that he's an incredibly stupid person, because only a 446 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: dumb person would not be able to see it. He 447 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: saw it, but he didn't want Donald Trump to win, 448 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 1: and so he decided I'm going to look the other way. 449 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 3: And now he's like, well, she saw something that I 450 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 3: didn't see. Are you kidding me? 451 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 1: Like, like, give me a break, Like that is total crap. 452 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper, by the way, way too sanctimonious to actually 453 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: believe this, and. 454 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 3: This is his out right. Well, it wasn't that I 455 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 3: was covering it up. 456 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: It's just that I didn't see it, right, it was 457 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: just that I didn't notice it. 458 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,679 Speaker 3: Part No, you noticed it. I don't believe that you didn't. 459 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: I think you're lying to us, and now you're trying 460 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 1: to profit and make a and sell books off of 461 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:42,959 Speaker 1: a lie that you were a part of. 462 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 3: Keep listening. 463 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 7: To be transparent about his health records. 464 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 9: In an interview in twenty twenty, I did ask him 465 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 9: about the fact that voters then he was thought that he. 466 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 7: He was not transparent at all. 467 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 5: No, he promised you that he would be transparent about 468 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 5: his health records. 469 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 3: And then he wasn't. 470 00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 5: And when you sat with him again at all, including 471 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 5: one including one month after the Jackie Willorski thing, you 472 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 5: didn't ask him about it. You didn't follow up on 473 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 5: the fact that he was falling up the stairs, that 474 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 5: he was losing his train of thought regularly, that he 475 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 5: was slurring, that he was incomprehensible, that he was getting 476 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 5: lost on the White House lawn. You sat right across 477 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 5: from him, and you asked none of that, notwithstanding the 478 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 5: fact that he had promised you he would be fully 479 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 5: transparent about his health issues. 480 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: By the way, this is Megan Kelly, which he just 481 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: says exactly what I was saying, like, you had an 482 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: opportunity after you saw this, and you still didn't do 483 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: jack crap about it. You saw it all and you 484 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 1: chose not to do it, and then listen to this 485 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 1: BS answer from Jake. 486 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 7: That's true. 487 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 9: But I did ask him about his age and the 488 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 9: fact that the American people had concluded that even though 489 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 9: he said whenever anybody brought up the subject of his age, 490 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 9: watched me, and I said, yes, they're watching you, and 491 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 9: they are concerned that. 492 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 7: You get too old for this job. 493 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 3: You know as well as I do. 494 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 6: That. 495 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 5: There's a way of you can say, hey, there's this 496 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 5: poll on your age, or you could say you just 497 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 5: forgot that Jackie Willerski was dead. 498 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 3: You asked where she. 499 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 5: Was moments after watching a videotape tribute to her.
