1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,280 Speaker 1: Gas stoves. Yeah, they're controversial. Now. I don't know if 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,159 Speaker 1: you know this, but Democrats believe that you shouldn't be 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: allowed to have one. Biden's consumers safety official has had 4 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: to come out now and claim that he does not 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,159 Speaker 1: want to ban gas stoves after promoting it as a 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: real possibility because of the backlash, saying also, he doesn't 7 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: want to do it. However, okay, however, you're ready, it 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 1: may be a necessity. The Biden administration is officially considering 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: a ban on gas stoves in the US over concerns 10 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: about alleged harmful quote air pollutants released from the appliances. 11 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,959 Speaker 1: According to a report, if you believe that I've got 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 1: some really good stuff to sell you, the far reaching 13 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: administration made this discovery quote by the US Consumer Product 14 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 1: Safety Commission and their commissioner, who stated that gas stove 15 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: appliances are a quote hidden hazard quote unquote. Any option 16 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: is on the table quote products that can't be made 17 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: safe can be banned. He stated that the agency was 18 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: considering placing at mission standards on appliances if they can 19 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: not ban the manufacturing or import of gas stoves. Bloomberg 20 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: reported yesterday they went on to say that they had 21 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: received significant backlash over the idea due to the approximately 22 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: forty percent of the Americans who use gas stoves in 23 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: their homes and the bureaucratic effort it would take to 24 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: apply those changes could be tough. Representative Gary Palmer, a 25 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: Republican from Alabama, said, over forty million American households use 26 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: gas stoves. This type of power should never have been 27 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: given to an unelected bureaucrat or bureaucrats in its time 28 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 1: for it to end. He tweeted this in response to 29 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: the idea from the Biden administration. After receiving heat from 30 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: Palmer and others on social media, the Agency commissioner backtracked 31 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,559 Speaker 1: on the consideration, saying, quote, to be clear, the CPSC 32 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: isn't coming for anyone's gas stoves. Regulations apply to new products. 33 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: The Biden officials set in response, thanks for your interest. 34 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: For Americans to choose quote to switch from gas to electric, 35 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: there is support available. Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, 36 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: which includes an eight hundred and forty dollar rebate. So 37 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: now we're bribing you to get off of fossil fuels. 38 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: Now you understand what this is really all about. The 39 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Reports cited studies that indicate gas stoves emit toxins 40 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: such as nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and fine particles at 41 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: levels that are linked to respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer, 42 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: and other health conditions. The studies were from the Instuite 43 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: of Policy Integrity and the American Chemical Society. Recent peer 44 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: review research also showed the twelve percent of childhood asthma 45 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: case in the US were linked to gas stoves. The 46 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: outlet noted Washington based trade group representing various gas manufacturers 47 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,680 Speaker 1: such as Whirlpool, is opposed to a nationwide ban on 48 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: gas stoves, noting that any type of cooking stove or 49 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: appliance will produce harmful at missions, they said, it's not 50 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: the gas stove that's the problem. It's ventilation is really 51 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: where the discussion should be. Rather than banning one particular 52 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: type of technology, banning one type of cooking appliance is 53 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: not going to address the concern about overall indoor air 54 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: quality quote unquote. We may need some behavioral change. We 55 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: may need people to turn on their hoods when cooking. 56 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: Near the end of December, multiple Democrat represents and senator 57 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: sent a letter to the chairman asking the agency to 58 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: take action against gas stoves, setting black, Latino and low 59 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: income households experienced disproportionate air pollution compared to other households. 60 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: The letter, turning it into a racial issue, was sent 61 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: by Corey Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Don Bayer, Ted lu and 62 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: multiple other Democrat congressional members. I mean, I still have 63 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 1: a hard time figuring this kind of crap out, I 64 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: really do. It's just shocking to me that this is 65 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: what they are working on. Like, they're really working on this. 66 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: They spent time on this, they spent hours, They had 67 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: meetings in washing in DC about all right, let's all 68 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 1: sign on to this letter demanding this. It's just sad. 69 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: I mean, for me, I'm really just shocked by it 70 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: because I understand politics really well. I don't understand where 71 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: they thought this was an upside. And then I realize 72 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: I'm not dealing with rational people. They're trying to figure 73 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: out a way to ban fossil fuels, a natural gas 74 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: coming to your house. If they can get rid of 75 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: all those lines, that's a quote victory for them, right, 76 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Like this is a this is a big victory for them. Now, 77 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: this is a ventilation issue if anything, And there are still, 78 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: as they said, things that air quality, things that get 79 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: in the air, even if you are cooking on electricity, 80 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: if you're burning something to smoke, if you are cooking 81 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: on high heat. Right, the particles that go in the 82 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: air from the pan, that go from the food while 83 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: you're cooking, the oil or the butter that you're using, 84 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: it's a ventilation issue. But they they didn't want to 85 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: do that, right, They didn't want to talk about it 86 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: from that perspective. They want to use it as an 87 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: opportunity to say, in America again, its supposed to be 88 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: the freest country in the world, We're gonna ban your 89 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: gas stove. A lot of people started putting up memes 90 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 1: of their gas stove saying, my gas stove identifies as 91 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: electric or come and take it now. I would laugh 92 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: at this story two years ago. I probably wouldn't even 93 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: spend the time talking about it. I might mention it 94 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: as a in the you know, a bunch of idiots 95 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: in Washington said this today. Right, I might do that, okay, 96 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: but I sure as hell wouldn't spend ten minutes on it. 97 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: But now I know what can happen because of the 98 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: COVID lockdowns. I understand that people lost their jobs over 99 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: not getting vaccinated. I understand that the entire country was 100 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: shut down. I understand they shut down schools for years, businesses. 101 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 1: They said you couldn't eat six feet apart from each other, right, remember, 102 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: you couldn't eat with people from another household that didn't 103 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: live with you. I mean, the insanity of the COVID 104 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: regulations were truly out of control, and the things that 105 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: they put on people that people complied with. Now, it's like, 106 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: when this kind of stuff happens, you have to talk 107 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: about it, and you have to rally the troops, and 108 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: you have to explain why it's so crazy, because otherwise 109 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 1: I do believe that things like this will a hundred 110 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: percent come to reality. Or one day you're gonna wake up, 111 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: you're gonna be touring a house, or your stove's gonna 112 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: go out and you're not gonna be able to buy 113 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: a gas stove. Now you go back to the money, 114 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: and it's always about following the money. They're like, well, 115 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: there's an eight hundred and what was eight and forty 116 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 1: dollars eight hundred and fifty dollar you know, moment here 117 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: that you know, they said, well, you can't get your 118 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: money in a rebate, so you'll put an electric I mean, 119 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: this is the President, Joe Biden's Consumer Product Safety Commissioner 120 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: telling you that the reality is you just need to 121 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: do this, and you need to do it, and if 122 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: you don't do it, it's gonna you know, people are 123 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: gonna die. That's what they're now always going with. I'll 124 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: never give up my gas stove. Ronnie Jackson, Congressman said, 125 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: if the Many Acts and the White House come to 126 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: for my stove, they can pry it for my cold 127 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: dead hands, come and take it. He tweeted, gas stoves 128 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: for me, for me, but not for thee or. Another 129 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: popular account lives of TikTok sharing photos of Democrats with 130 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,559 Speaker 1: gas stoves in their homes. One of them is Kamala Harris. 131 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: Another one with them was Joe Biden cooking over gas. 132 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: Another one is AOC cooking it with gas, and another 133 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: one was Elizabeth Warren cooking with gas. All of these idiots, 134 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: but hey for them, right, it's all about quote safety. 135 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: To be clear, I'm not looking to ban gas stoves, right, 136 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: I just am trying to get this air quality where 137 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: it needs to be. The President does not support banning 138 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 1: gas stoves, and the Consumer Products Safety Commission, which is independent, 139 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: it is not banning gas stoves, the White House Press 140 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: Secretary said during the Daily White House Press Briefing on Wednesday, 141 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: after massive backlash, Usually they'll say these things. They'll float 142 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: it and they won't stop, They'll keep going. That's how 143 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: this usually works. This was, as I would describe it, 144 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: phase one, right, I mean, I mean, really, that's what 145 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: this is. This is phase one, and then they'll go 146 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: into phase two. That's how this works. They float it, 147 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: they kind of get a pulse. Then they figure out 148 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: what people's reaction is, they figure out what people how 149 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: they're going to respond to it. They then decide how 150 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: they're going to really respond to it with the next phase. 151 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: This is not going to end today. As my point, 152 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: this is the beginning. If there's anything I know about Democrats, 153 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: they play the long game. We've got new news on 154 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: the documents. Foul o, my o, my, were these some 155 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: pretty interesting documents, these documents, and as I mentioned yesterday, 156 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: we have a special counsel that is going to be 157 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: investigating the handling of these classified documents. By then, the 158 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: Vice President Joe Biden. The Attorney General Garland assigned a 159 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: special council to investigate it because now we have three 160 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: locations that we know of where these documents were. The 161 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: Attorney General announced his decision Thursday to appoint that special 162 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: council to investigate Joe Biden after these classified documents from 163 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: his time as the vice president and Barack Obama's administration 164 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: were found in his possession, which he's not allowed to have. 165 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: Garland said, I concluded that under the Special Council regulations, 166 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: it was in the public interest to appoint a special counsel. 167 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: He announced. The former years Attorney for Maryland, Robert Her, 168 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: appointed by former President Trump to investigate Biden, is the man. 169 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: Mister Her has a long and distinguished career as a prosecutor, 170 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 1: Garland said, adding that I want sure that mister Her 171 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: receives all the resources he needs to conduct his work. 172 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: The Attorney General laid out the timeline for the Justice 173 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: Department's handling of the investigation, revealing that the investigation was 174 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: well underway before it was reported on Tuesday. Garland recounted 175 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: that he was first notified a Biden's possession of classified 176 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 1: documents on the evening of November the fourth, which were 177 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: found by his quote lawyer in his office at Penn 178 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: Biden Center. I don't buy that for a second. It's 179 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: before the election. Man. In't amazing how that didn't leak out. 180 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: On November the ninth, Garland revealed the FBI began an 181 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: investigation as to whether classified information was found in Biden's 182 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: possession had been illegally mishandled. Man. I sure did wait 183 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: till the election day for that, didn't they. Garland also 184 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: said that on November the fourteenth, wow, just right after 185 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: the election, he assigned the US attorney to conduct an 186 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: initial investigation of the present for the documents found at 187 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: the Penn Biden Center. He also revealed that Joe Biden's 188 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: attorney then notified them on December the twentieth, right before Christmas, 189 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: about the classified documents found in his garage. Then the 190 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: FBI was sent to secure those documents. President Joe Biden's counsel, 191 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: Richards Saber set in a statement that Biden's possession of 192 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: the classified documents was quote a mistake quote unquote, and 193 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: that the documents were inadvertently misplaced quote unquote. We have 194 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: cooperated fully with the Justice Department throughout its review, and 195 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 1: we will continue to cooperate with the special counsel. He wrote. 196 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: Now they're trying to say in their defense as well, 197 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: we've done it right. That's what they're now saying. All right, 198 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: we've done it right. We did all of it right. Okay, 199 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: so you need to give us like some credit for 200 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: us doing it right. You should be proud of us 201 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: for doing it right. We did this amazing thing. We 202 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: did these documents the right way. There is no right 203 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: way to do this, Okay, when you're not supposed to 204 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: have classified documents and you've had them for years. If 205 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: that is what you're now saying, your defense is, that's 206 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: a bad defense. Now, the interesting point about the special 207 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: Counsel Robert Herm is that we now know that he 208 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: worked with Rob Rosenstein. The special counsel. You heard that 209 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: he was appointed by Trump really doesn't mean anything, unfortunately, 210 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: so you understand and center Ted Cruz and I talked 211 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: about this yesterday. Donald Trump did not do a very 212 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: good job of vetting the people he gave power to. 213 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: A great example of that as Rob Rosenstein, who was 214 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: actually given his power by Donald Trump, and then he 215 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: became like the perfect deep state James Comey s guy, 216 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: so he didn't take and his team didn't do adequate 217 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: dives on the people before they gave them power, and 218 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 1: that came back to bite them in the rear end, 219 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: like for their entire presidency. So just because you hear 220 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: that this special counsel Robert Hrr worked with Rod Rosenstein, 221 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: does not with Donald Trump or was appointed by Donald Trump, 222 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 1: you really shouldn't take a big sigh of relief from that, 223 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: because again Rod Rosenstein, one of the worst deep staters ever, 224 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 1: was given his power by Donald Trump and this guy 225 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 1: worked for him. Now Robert Herr, appointed by Garland, also 226 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: tells me that maybe he's you know, right of maybe 227 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: left of center. Where Garland was not going to give 228 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: you a hardcore conservative prosecutor, he did need to check 229 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: a box so he could say, hey, look, I picked 230 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: a guy that Trump picked. So everybody calmed down. But 231 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: Garland's probe and a President Joe Biden's mishandling of the 232 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: classified information, he had no choice because he just did 233 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: this a Trump and it was among those at the 234 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 1: Justice Department who had knowledge about the Russian hoax perpetrated 235 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: on former President Donald Trump that we do know about 236 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: Robert Herr. In fact, according to a Justice Department document, 237 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: Listening carefully, her is a former DOJ official who quote handled, 238 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: participated in, or had personal knowledge of the FBI's relationship 239 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: and communications with Christopher Steele, who authored the infamous Steele 240 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: dossier that paved the way for the Russian hoax and 241 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: the impeachment of Donald Trump. This is the own Justice 242 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: Department document that names her as one of those who handled, 243 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: participated in, or had personal knowledge of the FBI's relationship 244 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: and communication with Chris Steele. Robert Herr was also among 245 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: those that not only were involved in that, but apparently 246 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: we're involved in where the investigation went. So to recap 247 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: for you, this newly appointed special Counsel, Robert Herr was 248 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: a former Trump appointee. That's what Democrats want you to know. 249 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: A US attorney, you also worked for Deputy Attorney General 250 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein during Robert Mueller's investigation, and also worked now 251 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: under the FBI Director Ray at the DOJ. So if 252 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: you think this guy is, you know, one of us, 253 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: probably not. Her began his career by clerking for the 254 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: late Chief Justice Rinquist after graduating from Harvard and Stanford. 255 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: Her was then hired as the principal Associate Deputy Attorney General, 256 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: serving as the top aide to Rod Rosenstein, the mastermind 257 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: behind impeachment of Donald Trump and the investigation the Russian Doskier. 258 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: When they knew the entire time they were investigating it 259 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: that it was user generated from the Democratic National Committee 260 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: and Hillary Clinton's campaign, they knew it was a lie. 261 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: It wasn't real. So he served as the top aide 262 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: to Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General under President Donald Trump. 263 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: Before that, he'd also been special assistant to Christopher Ray, 264 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: who was leading to Justice Department's criminal investigation at the time, 265 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 1: and went on to become the FBI director. All of this, 266 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: by the way, according to Washington Post liberal newspaper, Rosenstein 267 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: announced her appointment press release, praising him as having experience 268 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: and judgment that will advance our effort to deter crime, 269 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: promote the rule of law, and ensure equal justice for everyone. 270 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, two years into his presidency, Donald Trump 271 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: nominated her to lead the Maryland unanimously confirmed by the 272 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: Senate in March of that year. Under her direction at 273 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: the Maryland US Attorney's Office, he brought and resolved charges 274 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: for corruption and are fraught against dozens of elected officials, 275 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: public officeholders, and public employees. Again this according to the 276 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: Justice Department's press release. During her service the Maryland US 277 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: Attorney's Office was reportedly one of the busiest in the nation. 278 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 1: He prosecuted a case of a former National Security Agency 279 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: contractor who allegedly stole classified information from the federal government. 280 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: The theft was reportedly the largest of classified documents in 281 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: US history, So he has a lot of you know, 282 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: experience with classified doubt document cases. And just in February 283 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: of last year, her to part of the US Attorney's 284 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: Office and joined the Global legal office of Gibson, Dunn 285 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: and Crutcher, which handles white collar crime issues and regulatory matters. 286 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: The law firm employees eighteen hundred lawyers and twenty offices 287 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,120 Speaker 1: of major cities throughout the United States of America, Europe, 288 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: and the Middle East, Asia South Africa. Its website states 289 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: HER's appointment as a special prosecutor on Thursday comes as 290 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: Republicans have slam Biden's double standard of justice. Two weeks 291 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: after Biden's classified documents were unearthed at the Penn Biden center, 292 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,880 Speaker 1: Garland named special council to investigate Trump, not Biden. So 293 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: again they named a special prosecutor to investigate Trump, two 294 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: weeks after they knew that these documents have been found 295 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: at the University of Penn. So if you don't think 296 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: the game's rigged and fixed, you're an idiot. The Attorney General, 297 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland, who knew about it, actually named a special 298 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: counsel not to investigate Biden, but to investigate Donald Trump. 299 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: Garland now forced into a corner. He was forced into 300 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: a corner as he made the announcement. Now a lot 301 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: of you did not get to hear that announcement, and 302 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: I want to play it for you, and you can 303 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 1: hear just in the voice of Garland. It was basically 304 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 1: like a hostage video. This happened yesterday mid morning round 305 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 1: what time was it, rounds noon, eleven forty five, And 306 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: this is the official announcement coming from the Department of Justice. 307 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: No questions asked afterwards. So you understand and listen carefully 308 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: of the timeline. And here they could have disclosed as 309 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: to you before the midterm elections, and they deliberately chose 310 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: not to because they knew that it could effect the elections. 311 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: Take a listen again the announcement from Garland appointing Robert 312 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 1: her as a special counsel for the Biden documents. Now 313 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: three different locations that we know of where these documents 314 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 1: have been found. I'm here today to announce the appointment 315 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: of Robert Her as a special council pursuing a Department 316 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 1: of Justice regulations governing such matters. In keeping with those regulations, 317 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: I have today notified the designated members of each House 318 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: of Congress of the appointment. I'm joined today by John Lausch, 319 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: the US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, who 320 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: conducted the initial investigation into the matter that I will 321 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: describe today. On the evening of November fourth, twenty twenty two, 322 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: the National Archives Office of Inspector General contacted a prosecutor 323 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: at the Department of Justice. It informed him that the 324 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: White House had notified the Archives that documents bearing classification 325 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 1: markings were identified at the office of the Penn Biden 326 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, located in Washington, d C. 327 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: That office was not authorized for storage or classified at documents. 328 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: The prosecutor was also advised that those documents had been 329 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: secured in an archives facility. On November ninth, the FBI 330 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: commenced an assessment consistent with standard protocols to understand whether 331 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: classified information had been mishandled in violation of federal law. 332 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: On November fourteenth, pursuant to Section six hundred point two 333 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: B of the Special Council Regulations, I assigned US Attorney 334 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: Laosche to conduct an initial investigation to inform my decision 335 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: whether to appoint a special counsel. Mister Laosche has served 336 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: as the US attorney in Chicago since twenty seventeen. Before that, 337 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: he spent more than a decade as an assistant US 338 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: attorney in that same office. I selected him to conduct 339 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: the initial investigation because I was confident his experience would 340 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: ensure that it would be done professionally and expeditiously. On 341 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: December twentieth, President Biden's personal counsel informed mister Laoch that 342 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: additional documents bearing classification markings were identified in the garage 343 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: of the President's private residence in Wilmington, Delaware. President Biden's 344 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: counsel informed mister Looch that those documents were among other 345 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 1: records from the period of the President's service as Vice President. 346 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: The FBI went to the location and secured those documents. 347 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: On January fifth, twenty twenty three, mister Lousch brief me 348 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: on the results of his initial investigation and advised me 349 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: that further investigation by a special counsel was warranted. Based 350 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: on mister Lousch's initial investigation, I concluded that under the 351 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,959 Speaker 1: special Council regulations, it was in the public interests to 352 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: appoint a special council. In the days since, while mister 353 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: Lousch continued the investigation, the Department identified mister her for 354 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: appointment as special counsel. This morning, President Biden's Personal council 355 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: called mister Loosch and stated that an additional document bearing 356 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:55,640 Speaker 1: classification markings was identified at the President's personal residence in Wilmington, Delaware. 357 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: When I first contacted mister Lousch about this matter, he 358 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: said he could lead the initial investigation, but would be 359 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: unable to accept any longer term assignment because he would 360 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: be leaving the Department in early twenty twenty three for 361 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: the private sector. US Attorney Lausch and his team of 362 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: prosecutors and agents have conducted this initial investigation with professionalism 363 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: and speed. I am grateful to them. Earlier today, I 364 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: signed an order appointing Robert Herr a Special Council for 365 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: the matter I just described. The document authorizes him to 366 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,680 Speaker 1: investigate whether any person or entity violated the law in 367 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: connection with this matter. The Special Council will not be 368 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: subject to the day to day supervision of any official 369 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,919 Speaker 1: of the Department, but he must comply with the regulations, procedures, 370 00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: and policies of the Department. Mister Herr has a long 371 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: and distinguished career as a prosecutor. In two thousand and three, 372 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: he joined the Department's Criminal Division, or he worked on 373 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: counter terrorism, corporate fraud, and appellate matters. From two thousand 374 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: and seven until twenty fourteen, mister Hurr served as an 375 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: Assistant US Attorney for the District of Maryland, where he 376 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: prosecuted matters ranging from violent crime to financial fraud. In 377 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, mister Hurr rejoined the Department as the Principal 378 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: Associate Deputy Attorney General. In twenty eighteen, he was nominated 379 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: and confirmed to serve as a US Attorney for the 380 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: District of Maryland. As US attorney, he supervised some of 381 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: the departments more important national security, public corruption, and other 382 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: high profile matters. I will ensure that mister Hurr receives 383 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: all the resources he needs to conduct his work. As 384 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 1: I have said before, I strongly believe that the normal 385 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: processes of this Department can handle all investigations with integrity, 386 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: but under the regulations, the extraordinary circumstances here require the 387 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: appointment of a special counsel for this matter. This appointment 388 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: underscores for the public the Department's commitment to both independence 389 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: and accountability and particularly sensitive matters, and to making decisions 390 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 1: indisputably guided only by the facts and the law. I 391 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: am confident that mister Herr will carry out his responsibility 392 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: in an even handed and urgent manner and in an 393 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: accordance with the highest traditions of this department. Thank you all. 394 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: The President about this investigation service nothing. He didn't answer 395 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: that question, Have you ever spoken to president about this investigation? 396 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you answer that question because you don't want 397 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: people to know the answer, which is I'm sure that 398 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 1: he absolutely has spoken to the President about this. The 399 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: media also doing their job really well. I mean, they're 400 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: doing one hell of a job. The media has been 401 00:25:54,600 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: just really focused on explaining that there is a friends 402 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: between Donald Trump and Joe Biden and these documents that 403 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,680 Speaker 1: Donald Trump did it wrong, Joe Biden did it right, 404 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: and they're falling all over themselves to sell you this crap. 405 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: Listen from MSNBC just this morning. You're baker. We've been 406 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 1: pointing that out this morning and all week, just cataloging 407 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: the differences in these two cases. Chief among the differences 408 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: being that the Biden white House appears to have immediately 409 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: handed these documents over to the National Archives when they 410 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: were discovered, rather than obstructing the way Donald Trump and 411 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: his aids did. But as you talk to your sources 412 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 1: in and around the White House, first of all, why 413 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: did it take so long for the public to learn 414 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,199 Speaker 1: about this. It was only a media report that discovered this. 415 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: And how big of a problem do they view this 416 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: to be? Yeah, I think that's right. Look at very 417 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: different than the Trump case. There does not appear, as 418 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: everybody has said, to be a willful obstruction in the 419 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 1: same way that we have been talking about in mar Lago. 420 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean there aren't important questions, and you're right 421 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: to raise one of them. They discover these first documents 422 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: on November. The second I was six days or the 423 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: midterm elections. They did not tell the public about it. 424 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: They didn't tell the public about it, as Christian reported, 425 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: until this week, when they had no choice because the 426 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 1: media was going to report. In fact, when the media 427 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: reported on the first batch of documents on Monday, the 428 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: White House confirmed it, but didn't mention that they had 429 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: already by that point found a second batch of documents. 430 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: They only acknowledged that when there was a new media 431 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: reporting on that. So they'll tell you that. The reason 432 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: why is they didn't want to sort of put this 433 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: out in piece meal. They didn't want to be litigating 434 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 1: this in the press while there was still a question 435 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: about whether they would be a special counsel. They had 436 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: hoped that perhaps Jack Laus, the US Tourney who was 437 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: considering this matter for Mary Carlow, would not recommend a 438 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 1: special counsel, and so they didn't want to make it 439 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 1: a public issue. But that raised is still a lot 440 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: of questions because obviously, when you talk about transparency, two 441 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: months went by when they didn't say anything, particularly before 442 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: mid term, they knew it would have been damaging and 443 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: Democrats had to come out. I mean the way that 444 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: they will just lie to your face. White House say 445 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: anything on Biden documents because they knew it would have 446 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: been damaging for Dems in the mid terms. They tell 447 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: you that, all right, Well they lied to you for 448 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: that and they didn't say anything. It's amazing. No one 449 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: leaked this, right, No one leaked this. That's insane. We 450 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: now know that NBC News is saying, all right, multiple 451 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: people have been interviewed by the FBI, like this is 452 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: a big deal. Well, Andrew, we're learning. My colleague Mike 453 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: Memily and I are reporting that as part of this 454 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 1: Justice Apartment review of the classified documents in President Biden's possession, 455 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: they've interviewed multiple Biden staffers, those who worked for him 456 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: in those closing days of his time as vice president, 457 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: including Kathy Chung, who had served as executive assistant to 458 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: the President, who's described to us as somebody who would 459 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: have had a key role in packing up those boxes 460 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: in those final days of President Biden's term as vice president. Now, 461 00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: what we're told is that those who have been interviewed 462 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: they did so when they were asked to be interviewed 463 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: by federal law enforcement, that they agreed to do so quickly. 464 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: And that those who were involved in packing up the 465 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: former vice presidents now president's vice presidential office were not 466 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: they were just putting things in boxes, that there was 467 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: no intent here, that they weren't looking and seeing what 468 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: exactly was in these papers, that they weren't intentionally putting 469 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:30,680 Speaker 1: classified documents among commingled with the president's political and personal documents. 470 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 1: I mean, everything's fine, right, Like we know that the 471 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: FBI's interviewed multiple people, but look, all of it adds up. 472 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: He's just a really nice guy and these people just 473 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: made a genuine mistake and really thing, really, everything is 474 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: okay here, nothing's wrong. How many of you are going 475 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: to just buy this and say, yep, it is different 476 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: because they keep telling you it's different. Donald Trump's the 477 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: worst person in the world. Donald Trump's the way he 478 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: did it as completely the opposite of how we did it, 479 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: and that's what the media is selling.
