1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: I want to go back to a big story We've 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: been covering it here for a while, and that is 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: the illegal immigration issue in America. There is great news 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: that we have in essence shut down the border and 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: the illegal crossings at the southern border. 6 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 2: There was a. 7 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: Story about one of the overflow areas. They've actually shut 8 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: down one of the areas that was just getting hammered 9 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: with illegal immigrants under Biden administration. 10 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 2: We know that they did it on purpose. 11 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: We know they wanted to front America with massive amounts 12 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,639 Speaker 1: of illegal aliens and they wanted to fundamentally change his country. 13 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: The Biden Heris team. 14 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: Obama was a part of this as well, and whoever 15 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: the hell was running the country, because it wasn't Joe Biden, right, 16 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: all these dictators that were in charge of America. But 17 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: shutting down the border is one very important part of 18 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: the problem. But we still have a problem that's literally 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: tens of millions of problems deep, and that is the 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants who are in this country now, and how 21 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: do we continue to remove them quickly? 22 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: Now I give you an example. 23 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: Of the threat that these illegal immigrants have towards this country. 24 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: Ice has just announced that they have arrested an illegal 25 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: alien from Mexico for an alleged threat on President Donald 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: Trump's life, another assassination attempt.

Jewish 33 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: families are living in fear, and it's something we hope 34 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: to never see again in our lifetime. But the reality is, 35 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: this is what is happening now, and it's time for 36 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: us to stand up and not be silent and take 37 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: a stand, to stand with those in Israel, those that 38 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: are Jewish.

Now you talk about how this back and 98 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: forth and how many times you can come across the 99 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: southern border, it's truly incredible that it can happen so often. 100 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: By so many of these individuals. 101 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: Because it is an open border issue, and you have 102 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: to stop this, right like, you absolutely have to stop 103 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: this from happening. And this also goes to another issue, 104 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 1: and it deals also with the issue of immigrants coming 105 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 1: into this country. Marco Rubio has issued now a visa 106 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: ban for foreign officials who are censoring Americans and again, 107 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: this is about going back into offense and to saying, look, 108 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: we're not putting up with this crap anymore. Whether it's 109 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: legal immigrants, whether it's countries that hate us, whether it's 110 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: foreign students that are coming to America that hate America 111 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: and are chanting death to America or death to Israel, 112 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: or they're anti Semites, and now you can add. 113 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 2: To that list. 114 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: The Secretary of State Marco Rubio announcing that the Trump 115 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: administration will impose visa restrictions on foreign officials engaging in 116 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: censorship of American citizens and attempting to regulate American companies abroad. 117 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: Rubio said the State Department quote would begin banning foreign 118 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: officials from securing visas to travel to the United States 119 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: of America if they engage in censorship of Americans. 120 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 2: Quote. 121 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: Free speeches among the most cherished rights we enjoy as Americans, 122 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: Rubio said in a statement. He went on to say, 123 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: this that's right, legally enshrined in our constitution, has set 124 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: us apart as a beacon of freedom around the world. 125 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,720 Speaker 1: Even as we take action to reject censorship at home, 126 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: we see troubling instances of foreign governments and foreign. 127 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 2: Officials picking up the slack. 128 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: In some instances, foreign officials have taken flagrant censorship actions 129 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: against US tech companies as well as US citizens and residents, 130 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: when they have no authority to do so. Rubio said, today, 131 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: I'm announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply 132 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: to foreign nationals who are responsible for censorship of protected 133 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: expression in the United States. It is unacceptable for foreign 134 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: officials to issue or threaten arrest warrants on US citizens 135 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: or US residents for social media posts on American platform 136 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: while physically present on US soil. It is similarly unacceptable. 137 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: He went on to say for foreign officials to demand 138 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: that American tech platforms adopt global content moderation policies or 139 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: engage in censorship activity that reaches beyond their authority and 140 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: into the United States of America, saying, quote, we will 141 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: not tolerate encroachment upon American sovereignty, especially when such encroachments 142 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: undermine the exercise of our fundamental right to free speech. 143 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: He said, for too long, Americans have been fined, have 144 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: been harassed, and even charged by foreign authorities for exercising 145 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: their free speech rights, and that's why he said today 146 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: I'm announcing a new visa restriction policy that will apply 147 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: to the foreign officials in persons who are complicit in 148 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 1: censoring Americans. 149 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 3: Now. 150 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: This move also comes as the European Union approve the 151 00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: Digital Services Act. 152 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: Does that do? 153 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: It's designed to censor certain discussions on social media and 154 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: elsewhere online, while countries like China, Venezuela, Russia, Iran and 155 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: Cuba continue censorship campaigns to cripple oppositions to their governments. 156 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: Now in February, jd Vance also sounded the alarm as 157 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: the Vice President, warning that the European Union was abandoning 158 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: shared democratic values by adopting the online censorship policy. Here 159 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: is jdie Vance saying this and Munich at the Security 160 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: conference not afraid of who he may offend. 161 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 4: I will admit that sometimes the loudest voices for censorship 162 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 4: have come not from within Europe, but from within my 163 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 4: own country, where the prior administration threatened and bullied social 164 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 4: media companies to censors so called misinformation. Misinformation like, for example, 165 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 4: the idea that coronavirus had likely leaped leaked from a 166 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 4: laboratory in China. Our own government encouraged private companies to 167 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 4: silence people who dared to utter what turned out to 168 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 4: be an obvious truth. So I come here today not 169 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 4: just with an observation, but with an offer. And just 170 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 4: as the Biden administration seemed desperate to silence people for 171 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 4: speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely 172 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 4: the opposite. And I hope that we can work together 173 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: on that. In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town, 174 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 4: and under Donald Trump's leadership, we may disagree with your views, 175 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 4: but we will fight to defend your right to. 176 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,479 Speaker 2: Offer it in the public square. Agree or disagree. 177 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 4: Now we're at the point, of course, that the situation 178 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 4: has gotten so bad that this December, Romania straight up 179 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 4: canceled the results of a presidential election based on the 180 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 4: flimsy suspicions of an intelligence agency and enormous pressure from 181 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 4: its continental neighbors. Now, as I I understand it, the 182 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 4: argument was that Russian disinformation had infected the Romanian elections. 183 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 4: But I'd ask my European friends to have some perspective. 184 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 4: You can believe it's wrong for Russia to buy social 185 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 4: media advertisements to influence your elections, We certainly do. You 186 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 4: can condemn it on the world stage, even but if 187 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 4: your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand 188 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 4: dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country. Then it 189 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 4: wasn't very strong to begin with. Now, the good news 190 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 4: is that I happen to think your democracies are substantially 191 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 4: less brittle than many people apparently fear, and I really 192 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 4: do believe that allowing our citizens to speak their mind 193 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 4: will make them stronger. 194 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 2: Still, you can. 195 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: Hear the Vice President saying the same thing that the 196 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: president's talking about, saying it's time for us to defend 197 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: and protect free speech while also making sure that online 198 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: people aren't silenced and punished from governments or organizations around 199 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: the world. 200 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 2: And if you do. 201 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 1: Come after Americans, we'll get ready because your visas are 202 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: going to be canceled. 203 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: I want to deal. 204 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: With some other breaking news as well, and it's one 205 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: that's pretty shocking. There is a watchdog group that has 206 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: found quote no evidence that Joe Biden knew of the 207 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: crucial climate executive orders that he was signing. They're now 208 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: demanding answers on who was actually in charge and who 209 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: was using the auto pen power. The Future is now 210 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: calling Congress to investigate the validity of former President Joe 211 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: Biden's signatures. Now, a pro energy group is renewing their 212 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: call now for this investigation into over half a dozen 213 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: Biden administration executive actions specifically related to climate that it 214 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: believes should be deemed no roll and void due to 215 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: them being signed by an autopin without any public comment 216 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: at all from the former President Joe Biden, confirming his 217 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 1: knowledge of even what was happening. Power of the Future 218 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: is a nonprofit organization that advocates for American energy jobs. 219 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: They reviewed eight by an executive orders that it says 220 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: were significant shifts in domestic energy policy, and they said 221 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 1: it found no evidence of the present speaking about any 222 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: of these eight publicly, raising major concerns that the orders 223 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: were signed by autopin and that he was not even 224 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: aware that they were going to become executive action, saying, quote, these. 225 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 2: Are not obscure bureaucratic memos. 226 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: These were fundamental shifts in American energy policy, yet not 227 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: once did Joe Biden. 228 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 2: Speak about them publicly. 229 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 1: That's what Daniel Turner, the founder executive director of Power 230 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: for the Future said in an interview now. The executive 231 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: orders review viewed by Power of the Future included an 232 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: Arctic drilling ban in twenty twenty three, also a twenty 233 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: twenty one executive order committing the federal government to quote 234 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: net zero admissions by twenty fifty and an executive order 235 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,200 Speaker 1: mandating quote clean energy AI centers, and an offshore drilling 236 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: ban executive order that Joe Biden in theory signed before 237 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: leaving office in twenty twenty five. They said, finding no 238 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: evidence of Biden publicly speaking about the executive orders on climate, 239 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: They then sent a letter this week to THEDJ, the EPA, 240 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: DI and DOE, along with the House and Senate Oversight committees, 241 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: calling for an investigation to determine who made these decisions, 242 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: who drafted the executive orders, and ultimately who signed them, 243 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: since they believe it clearly wasn't Joe Biden quote. In 244 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 1: light of the growing evidence that actions purportedly taken by 245 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: the former president may not have been approved or signed 246 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: by him, but instead by a small group of advisors 247 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,359 Speaker 1: in his name without his knowledge, or over his signature 248 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: using an auto pen, the need for Congressional access to 249 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: information has grown in importance with these revelations. The letter 250 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: to the GOP House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer states 251 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: saying quote, Congress deserves to know how or whether these 252 00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: executive actions were authorized, and whether the former president was 253 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 1: aware of such orders before they were implemented by the 254 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: federal bureaucracy. Were these actions taken on behalf of the 255 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: president and purporting to excuse authority undertaken with the president's 256 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: knowledge an approach question mark. It appears incumbent upon Congress 257 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: to inquire about all parties involved in these actions, who instructed. 258 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: Them to do, what, and when. Now. 259 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,479 Speaker 1: The President's auto pen has been a topic of conversation 260 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: in Republican circles in recent weeks and months, as questions 261 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: continue about Biden's mental acuity during his presidency, particularly the 262 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: last few days when they've come under scrutiny after the 263 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: release of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book Original Sin. 264 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: One of the things that is very clear is now 265 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: those of the White House are concerned that the President 266 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: of United States of America may have been hijacked by 267 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: a group of individuals who had no authority or power 268 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: to do what they were doing. I want you to 269 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: take a listen to this. As Representative Jim Jordan's shared 270 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: his concerns about Biden's alleged auto pen use and who 271 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: was actually behind it. 272 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 5: Chris apparent to blow the lid off the biggest political 273 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 5: cover up in American history, as more troubling information emerges 274 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 5: about former President Joe Biden's mental decline. Now, according to 275 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 5: a brand new bombshell book, The One Insider, made it 276 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 5: clear that there were account of five people running the 277 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 5: country and Biden was. 278 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: Not one of them. 279 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 5: So the question is obvious who was running the show? Well, 280 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 5: according to one cabinet secretary, it was Biden's aide who 281 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 5: held all the power. Now that book's co author is 282 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 5: actually calling out the undemocratic Biden white house. 283 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 6: These aides were not even Senate confirmed aids. These are 284 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 6: a white House aids. These were unelected people. And one 285 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 6: of the things that really think comes out and are 286 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 6: reporting here is that if you believe, and I think 287 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 6: a lot of these people do sincerely believe that Donald 288 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 6: Trump was and is an essential threat to democracy, you 289 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 6: can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things, which I 290 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 6: think is what this person is talking about. 291 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 5: Heard a lot of that in my conversations with Lindy 292 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 5: Lee maytime. Congress is also investigating that cover up. The 293 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 5: Senate in fact, wants to talk with twenty eight top 294 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 5: level Biden officials, while the House has had to be 295 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,400 Speaker 5: looking into unauthorized yous of the auto pen by Joe Biden. 296 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 7: When you sign a document that has legal implications, it 297 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 7: has to be signed perfectly. It can't be signed by 298 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 7: an autoped So I think that if we can understand 299 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 7: more about the autopen and whether or not Joe Biden 300 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 7: authorized it, I think this could lead to a lot 301 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 7: of those executive orders being kicked out in court. 302 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 5: James Comer speaking there with Jesse Waters. Meantime, House Republicans 303 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 5: are also demanding to hear from Biden's doctor and four 304 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 5: other White House officials in an effort to uncover the truth. 305 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 5: So joining us now is the Judiciary Committee chair and 306 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,439 Speaker 5: Ohio Congressman, the Great Jim Jordan Congressman. Listen, this is 307 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 5: a simple question for you, What, if anything, can we 308 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 5: expect to happen in the wake of these House investigations 309 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 5: into the Biden cover up and the autopen use. 310 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if there's an easy answer. I mean, 311 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 3: we'll see. I think Chairman Comer will probably lead this investigation. 312 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 3: We can look at the folks who were supposedly making 313 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 3: the one thing we know for sure wasn't Joe Biden. 314 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: So we can talk to these folks. 315 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: My guess is they'll try to assert some legit in 316 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 3: fact we ever. 317 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: Bring them in. 318 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,360 Speaker 3: But you're I think it's right that in your lead 319 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 3: there you talk about it's supposed to be people who 320 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 3: put their name on the ballot, who are elected by we, 321 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 3: the people who make the decision. It's not supposed to 322 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 3: be other folks who aren't elected or in this case 323 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 3: aren't even confirmed by the United States Senate. So we'll 324 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 3: dig into this. But I think the real culprit, of course, 325 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 3: is the media. And you mentioned that, but I mean 326 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 3: Jake Tapper made money telling us everything was fine. Now 327 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 3: he's making more money writing the book telling us, no, 328 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 3: it wasn't fine. I think that's the real concern here, 329 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 3: is what the mainstream media got away with, or what 330 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 3: they thought they were getting away with. 331 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 2: The good news is the. 332 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 3: American people figured it out on November fifth and made 333 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 3: sure President Trump was our next president. 334 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 8: They sure did. Congressman, I want to stick on the 335 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 8: topic of Biden's autopen use. You know, specifically, we're hearing 336 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 8: that he used the autopend to sign executive orders right 337 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 8: issuing part ins. Senator Roger Marshall last night told us 338 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 8: that could be a huge problem. 339 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 9: They didn't think we understood, They didn't think we knew 340 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 9: what was going on, but we and we're I'm especially 341 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 9: especially concerned about the people that he pardoned. And he 342 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 9: was pardoning these folks even though they hadn't been convicted 343 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 9: of a crime. It just doesn't add up. 344 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 8: Congressman, on that note, do you think those pardons are 345 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 8: executive orders? Are those void invalid? 346 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 3: I think what you have to demonstrate is that the 347 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 3: folks who actually signed him, or whoever did or whether 348 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 3: it was the outo pin or what that, somehow Joe 349 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 3: Biden didn't really give it the okay. Now, I think 350 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 3: if you get him in, they'll probably say, well, my 351 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 3: boss told me it was fine, or we heard that 352 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 3: the president said it was fine. 353 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: We got okay from whoever. 354 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 3: Whoever we worked for there in the way. I soon 355 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 3: they'll do some kind of some kind of rational, some 356 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 3: kind of answer like that. But again, you got to 357 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 3: work through this all. What if we bring these folks in, 358 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 3: you have to ask him. You may have to even 359 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 3: subpoena and then at some point when they come in, 360 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 3: will they assert some kind of privilege, executive privilege, that's all. 361 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 2: That's all part of it. We'll just have to see. 362 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 3: But as I said, I think I think the Oversight 363 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: Committee under Chairman Comer on the House side will probably 364 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 3: will probably lead this investigation. 365 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: All right, So let's go back to legal nature of 366 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,439 Speaker 1: this and get down to the brass tax of this 367 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: subject of an autopen number one, it's a device that 368 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: physically holds a pen in his programmed to replicate a 369 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: person's signature. The Justice Department's Office of Legal Council determined 370 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five that the President's permitted to 371 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: use an autopen to sign bills into law, and the 372 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued a 373 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: ruling in February that said the absence of a writing 374 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: does not equate to proof that a commutation did not 375 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: occur quote unquote. 376 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 2: Now. 377 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: In March, President Trump claimed that Biden's pardons of lawmakers 378 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: who served on the House Select Committee to investigate the 379 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: January sixth Capitol Riot and others are quote void, alleging 380 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: that they had been signed via an autopen and that 381 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: Biden did not even know about them. Now, despite Trump's 382 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: concern over the validia Biden's pardons due to the alleged 383 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: use of an autopen conscial scholar have said, well, this 384 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: is going to be a tough one in court and 385 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: a very high barred across to be able to get 386 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: this undone. Jonathan Turley put it this way on Fox, saying, quote, 387 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: presidents are allowed to use the autopen and courts will 388 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: not presume a dead hand conspiracy. Now Power the Future's 389 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: letter references House Speaker Mike Johnson, who in January shared 390 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 1: that Biden during a meeting appeared to forget that he 391 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 1: signed an order to pause liquid national gas exports. A 392 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: report published by an arm of the Heritage Foundation also 393 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: claimed that the majority of official documents signed by Biden 394 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: were allegedly an auto pen signature, and there's a very 395 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: good chance the president didn't know what was going. 396 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 2: On at all. 397 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 3: Now. 398 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: During the Biden administration, hundreds of billions of dollars were 399 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,959 Speaker 1: funneled towards pet green projects, while the American fossil fuels 400 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: industry was punished, and there is no evidence that Biden 401 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: ordered it, directed it, or even was aware it was 402 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: happened in his name. That is another big question that's 403 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: now being asked. 404 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: So do we deserve to know, yes, who. 405 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: Was signing the executive orders behind closed doors? 406 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 2: It's a great question. 407 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: We're people paying for access, and the autopin scandal is 408 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 1: evidence that many of these executive orders, many of them 409 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: green executive orders, could number one very well be invalid, 410 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: and the American people deserve to know. It should be 411 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: thoroughly investigated by the Department of Justice. 412 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 2: I think it's clear that's. 413 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: The violation to trust the American people, and it could 414 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: have been a great fraud done on the American people 415 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: in the name of the President when he didn't even 416 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: know it was actually happening. Jake Tapper set down with 417 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: Megan Kelly to talk about this new book, and let 418 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: me just tell you, it was hysterical to watch him 419 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: squirm when Meghan Kelly nailed him to the wall about 420 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: his participation and complicity in the Biden cover up. The 421 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: same guy now making money off of a book about 422 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: the big lie, right, this massive lie that was told, 423 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: And it's like, dude, you are literally a part of it. 424 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: You shut down people when they brought up the cognitive 425 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 1: decline of Joe Biden, and you're now trying to act 426 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 1: like you're a truth teller after the guy's already out 427 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: of office. I'm going to play for you longer segments 428 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: because I want you to hear this conversation and I 429 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: want you to understand something about Jake. And I think 430 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: this is the part that you that I do want 431 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: you to have context for as you're listening. 432 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 2: Jake Tapper is extremely sanctimonious. 433 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: When I worked with him for seven years at CNN, 434 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: he thinks he's some sort of God's gift to journalism, 435 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: that he's above reproach, he's better than everybody else, and 436 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: when he gets nailed on these issues, he's like, well, 437 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: I've already I've already asked for I've already apologized for this, 438 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: I've already talked to Laura Trump for the way that 439 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: I talked to her on my show, and I'm here 440 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,400 Speaker 1: trying to get out the facts now with my book 441 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 1: Original Sins like it is just like I could throw 442 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: up over the self righteousness in this interview, but I 443 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: want you to hear it because this is how the 444 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: media gets away with it. They rewrite history of what 445 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: they actually did. For years as a state sponsored media 446 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,159 Speaker 1: individual and they. 447 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: Sold you any lie. 448 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: The White House seed them to sell, and then when 449 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: the House comes crashing down, they're like, let's do real 450 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: reporting now. So with that being set, take a listen 451 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: to Megan Kelly Jake Tapper talking on this issue. 452 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 10: Jake, the criticism has been that you're complaining about a 453 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 10: cover up about Joe Biden's mental acuity that failed that 454 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 10: right wing pundits saw, the right wing in general saw, 455 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 10: that independent media saw and reported on, and that was 456 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 10: no mystery even to left wing and so called mainstream 457 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 10: reporters who were not fooled but chose wilful blindness instead 458 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 10: of honest reporting, and that you were part of it. 459 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 2: How do you respond. 460 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 11: It's a tough and fair question. I would say that 461 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 11: Alex and I after election day interviewed more than two 462 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 11: hundred people, two hundred mostly Democratic insiders, and all these 463 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 11: interviews where almost all of these interviews were after the election, 464 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,439 Speaker 11: and they justified to themselves what they had done in 465 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 11: terms of misrepresenting how the president was not just to 466 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 11: me and Alex and other reporters, but also just to 467 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 11: each other and to the world and to Democrats. 468 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 12: Into the cabinet, etc. 469 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 11: By saying that there was this existential threat of Donald Trump, 470 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 11: and only Joe Biden could beat Donald Trump, and that 471 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 11: justified everything in their minds. After that existential threat was over, 472 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 11: because the election was over and Donald Trump one, they were. 473 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 12: We found Alex and myself. 474 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 11: Remarkably willing to talk to us, either off the record 475 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 11: or on background or in some cases on the record 476 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 11: about what they saw. One of the things that emerged 477 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 11: was that there were two bidens. One was the fine Biden, serviceable, adequate, 478 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 11: and the other one was. 479 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 12: As a non functioning Biden. 480 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 11: And that's the one we saw the night of the debate, 481 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 11: and that's the one we saw some clips up here 482 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 11: and there that you just showed. And that non functioning Biden, 483 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 11: the one that lost his train of thought in a 484 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 11: significant way, not in the way just that every human 485 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 11: loses their train of thought, but in a way that 486 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 11: shows that he's having trouble articulating his very views. And 487 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 11: the one who forgot the name of close aids, who 488 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 11: was not able to come up with George Clooney's name, 489 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 11: didn't seem to recognize him. All that sort of thing, 490 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 11: that non functioning Biden was, according to our reporting, showed 491 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 11: up as far back as twenty fifteen after the death 492 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 11: of Bow, where one top aid said that that tragedy, 493 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 11: the loss of Bow, was like watching somebody poor water sand. 494 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 11: That was the effect on his psyche. And there were 495 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 11: other moments twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. You hear some the 496 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 11: her report. One of the reasons he came to that 497 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 11: conclusion was because of the recordings they heard of Joe 498 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 11: Biden in twenty seventeen talking to his ghostwriter, in which 499 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:18,120 Speaker 11: he was similarly inclined. Obviously, in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, 500 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 11: there were other moments like that. Most of his campaign 501 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 11: staff and others would say, like, he's look, he's seventy eight, 502 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 11: he's seventy nine, he has senior moments, but he's fine, 503 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 11: he's fine, he's fine. 504 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 12: Well, he wasn't fine. 505 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 11: And throughout his presidency, that non functioning Biden would show 506 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 11: up more and more and more, and he was worse 507 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 11: and worse and worse, really deteriorating tremendously. The next time 508 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 11: there was a really horrible family incident, which was when 509 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 11: Hunter Biden's plea deal fell apart in the summer of 510 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 11: twenty twenty three, and then obviously in June he was convicted, 511 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 11: and the thought the fear of losing his son, not 512 00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 11: to jail, but maybe to another to a real laps 513 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 11: to an overdose, to suicide. Who knows, it was a 514 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 11: very real fear, and the threat of losing a third 515 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 11: child really just diminished him tremendously, according to top aides. 516 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 11: So all of which is to say that this was 517 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 11: a deterioration, was a this was a progression. And look, 518 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 11: knowing what I know now, obviously I feel tremendous humility 519 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 11: about my coverage that Laura Trump interviewed, for example, et cetera. 520 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 11: She saw something, She saw something that I did not 521 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 11: see at the time, one hundred percent, and I own 522 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 11: that I did ask Joe Biden, by. 523 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: The way, just pause there. This is the sanctimonious Jake 524 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: Tapper that is just exhausting to me. He's like, she 525 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: saw something that at the time that I did not see. 526 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: What are you joking? Everybody saw it, You just didn't 527 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: want to believe it. 528 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 2: In fact, I don't. 529 00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: There's one thing about Jake Tapper that I want to 530 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: be queer about. Actually think Jake Tapper is extremely smart. 531 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: I think he's a really good at lying to you 532 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: about this one. And the idea that he didn't see 533 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: the cognitive decline, it would mean that he's an incredibly 534 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: stupid person, because only a dumb person would not be 535 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: able to see it. He saw it, but he didn't 536 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: want Donald Trump to win, and so he decided I'm 537 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: going to look the other way. And now he's like, well, 538 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: she saw something that I didn't see. Are you kidding me? Like, like, 539 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: give me a break, Like that is that is total crap. 540 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: Jake Tapper, by the way, way too sanctimonious to actually 541 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: believe this, And this is his out right Well, it 542 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: wasn't that I was covering it up. It's just that 543 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: I didn't see it, right, It was just that I 544 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: didn't notice it. 545 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 2: Part No, you noticed it. I don't believe that you didn't. 546 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: I think you're lying to us, and now you're trying 547 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: to profit and make a and sell books off of 548 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: a lie that you were a part of. 549 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 2: Keep listening. 550 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 12: To be transparent about his health records. 551 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 11: In an interview in twenty twenty, I did ask him 552 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 11: about the fact that voters but then he was he 553 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 11: thought that he was not transparent at all. 554 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 10: Now, he promised you that he would be transparent about 555 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 10: his health records, and then he wasn't. And when you 556 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 10: sat with him again at all, including one month, including 557 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 10: one month after the Jackie Willorski thing, you didn't ask 558 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 10: him about it. You didn't follow up on the fact 559 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 10: that he was falling up the stairs, that he was 560 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 10: losing his train of thought regularly, that he was slurring, 561 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 10: that he was incomprehensible, that he was getting lost on 562 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 10: the White House lawn. You sat right across from him, 563 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 10: and you asked none of that, notwithstanding the fact that 564 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 10: he had promised you he would be fully transparent about 565 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 10: his health issues. 566 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: By the way, this is Megan Kelly, which he just 567 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,960 Speaker 1: says exactly what I was saying, like, you had an 568 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: opportunity after you saw this, and you still didn't do 569 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: jack crap about it. You saw it all and you 570 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: chose not to do it, and then listen to this 571 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: BS answer from Jake. 572 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 12: That's true. 573 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 11: But I did ask him about his age and the 574 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 11: fact that the American people had concluded that even though 575 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 11: he said whenever anybody brought up the subject to his age, 576 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 11: watched me and I said, yes, they're watching you, and 577 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 11: they are concerned that you are too old for this job. 578 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: You know as well as I do that. 579 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 10: There's a way of you can say, hey, there's this 580 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 10: poll on your age, or you could say you just 581 00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 10: forgot that Jackie Woolarski was dead. You asked where she 582 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 10: was moments after watching a videotape tribute to her.

There 585 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 10: is a way of pressing a man like that on 586 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 10: the actual infirmities to bring it home to him and 587 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 10: to the audience.
