1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: Welcome it. His verdict was center Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: with you, Senator. Nice to chat with you. And we 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: have got some new news that man, I guess they 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 1: were hoping. We never found out about it. The best 5 00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: part is when CBS News has to use their ridiculous 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: breaking news jingle. I hadn't heard this in a long time, 7 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: so this is how they broke the breaking news. Well, 8 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 1: we have more breaking news now in the Biden documents investigation. 9 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: Sources tell CBS News the FBI search the Penn Biden 10 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: Center offices in mid November. That came after lawyers for 11 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: President Biden found about ten documents more classified on November second. 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: Those materials were from mister Biden's time as vice president. 13 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: Sources also say the search was conducted with the cooperation 14 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: of Biden's representatives and the FBI did not seek a 15 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: search warrant. We'll have much more on those developments a 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: little later this afternoon. All right, now, the Center. I 17 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: thought this guy said he was going to run the 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: most transparent administration in history, and now we're finding out 19 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: that there is a previously I disclosed search at the 20 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 1: Penn Biden Center in November that no one told anybody about. 21 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: Look at this point, this is a bad nineteen seventies 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: sitcom where every day another screw up happens. Every day. Up, 23 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: we got more documents. We got documents in the Penn 24 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: Biden Center, We have documents in the Willington House, we 25 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: have documents in the Robe Beach House, we have documents 26 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: by the corvette, we have documents in the room beside 27 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: the corvette. Then we discover, oh, the FBI is engaged 28 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: in a rate. And now we discover this was not 29 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: the first FBI rate. There was an FBI raid back 30 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: in November that miraculously never got disclosed. And listen, we've 31 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: talked about how the bidendj the FBI has leaked like 32 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: a sieve about Donald Trump. Every bad thing they have 33 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: about Donald Trump immediately gets leaked to the media. When 34 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: the FBI does a search of Biden's office, they don't 35 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: leak it to the media. They don't let anyone know 36 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: because they didn't want to disturb the election. Mind you, 37 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: the first of these documents, if we're to believe the 38 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: timeline that has been given, was discovered a week before 39 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: the election. But they did not want anyone to know, 40 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: so they kept it silent, and it is amazing. Listen, 41 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: just as a crisis management point these guys. Every day 42 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: it gets worse and worse. Center. One of the things 43 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: that they keep saying. And when I say they, I'm 44 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: talking about the White House and the people speaking on 45 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: behalf all the sarrogates for Biden is will hold on 46 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: this search and the other search as plural now by 47 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: the FBI were not raids. They want to make that 48 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: very queer and they say they're all conducted without the 49 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: use of a warrant, like you're supposed to get you 50 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: know good like time served right for good behavior in 51 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: this scenario, like everything's fine because it wasn't like they 52 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: had to come in with a raid. It wasn't like 53 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 1: they had to do and get a warrant. We're being transparent. 54 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: So even when we do lie to you and tell 55 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: you that nothing else is there, when it clearly is, 56 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: you should still give us good you know, good behavior credit. 57 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: So number one, it's a bizarre semantic game they're playing 58 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: to say it's not a raid. Listen, if the FBI 59 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: shows up at your house or shows up at your 60 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: office to search your house or your office, it's a raid. 61 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: Like their thesis is, well, they didn't repel in off 62 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: of helicopters with machine guns and have to shoot the guards, 63 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: so we ought to get credit for that. Listen, if 64 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: the FBI is searching, you know what they didn't do. 65 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: They didn't tell the American people. The FBI is searching 66 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: his office, and they didn't do it because they discovered 67 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: these documents allegedly right before election day and they realized, 68 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: oh wait, this would be really bad for the election, 69 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: so let's lie about it. And you know, I didn't 70 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: tell the American people either, the FBI, you know who 71 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: didn't tell the American people either, the DOJ. Mind you, 72 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: this FBI and DOJ seems to have a direct line 73 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: to the New York Times, a direct line to the 74 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: Washington Post. Everything bad for Donald Trump. They leaked like crazy, 75 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: and in fact, we learned during the Trump administration they 76 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: don't just leak actual true facts like the FBI searched 77 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,679 Speaker 1: his home today, that they leak all sorts of false 78 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: things like the entire Russia Gate fraud where what they 79 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: were telling the press was false. This Biden DOJ is 80 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: thoroughly politicized, and the Biden White House, they didn't tell people. 81 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: It is right now February. This happened in November. The 82 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: Biden White House didn't tell the American people in November. 83 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: They didn't tell the American people in December. They didn't 84 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: tell the American people in January. The FBI didn't tell 85 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 1: the American people in November, December, January. The dj didn't 86 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: tell the American people in November, December, January. It wasn't 87 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: until the press broke it the very last day of 88 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: January that they're like, oh, yeah, that happened too. It 89 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: is interesting to see how the media is responding to this, 90 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: and I want to give it a perfect example of this. 91 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: CNN called out a White House spokeswoman and this is 92 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 1: again we're missing an accident. I feel like we need 93 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: a milk carton here asking where the actual White House 94 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: pressing material is because they put betting filled out there 95 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: on CNN, and CNN seems to be irritated that they 96 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: were left in the dark by the White House. But 97 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: first I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile.

Take a listen again, this is 120 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: CNN actually irritated that the White House for not being transparent. 121 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: And I don't think it's because they care that the 122 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: White House is alying to us. I think they care 123 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: that they were actually lied to by the White House. 124 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: All right, let me ask you about some new reporting here. 125 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: According to a Justice Department official and another source familiar 126 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: with the matter, the FBI search President Biden's former think 127 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: tank office in Washington in November after the discovery just 128 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: before the midterm elections of the documents with the classified markings. 129 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: Where any additional classified documents found as part of that search, 130 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: That's not something I can comment on from here. That's 131 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: something you'll need to ask the Justice Department. What I 132 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: can say is that we have been cooperative and transparent 133 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: from the outset. We put out multiple statements from the 134 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: President's personal attorney describing the process and being clear that 135 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: the President takes this seriously and that he cooperated and 136 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: will continue to cooperate with the Justice Department in full. 137 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: And you know, the other thing I would say while 138 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: we're on this topic is, you know, over the weekend, 139 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: CBS had to pull out that showed that the majority 140 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: of Americans think that President Biden is handling this well. 141 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: And we've also seen that it has an impacted his 142 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: approval ratings because while he absolutely takes this seriously and 143 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 1: continues to cooperate. He's also continuing to focus on the 144 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: things the matter in people's lives, like visiting the tunnel 145 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: today that is finally getting those infrastructure dollars after so 146 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: many years of not being able to get it done. So, Okay, 147 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: you're claiming transparency, but I'm bringing this to you, you 148 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: aren't bringing it to me. This happened in mid November. 149 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 1: If you are indeed being transparent, why the continued trickle 150 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: of disclosure around these classified documents? I mean, Sida, let's 151 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: just stop it right there. You just had CNN say, 152 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: so Kate talking to the White House quote, you're claiming transparency, 153 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: but I'm bringing this to you. You aren't bringing it 154 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: to me. And that's where I go back to what 155 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: I was saying earlier. I think this is just personal. 156 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: Now the media is furious that basically they were misled 157 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,079 Speaker 1: by their partners in crime. Right, they're being double crossed 158 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: by this Biden White House. He didn't say the American people. 159 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: He said, I'm bringing this to you, you aren't bringing 160 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 1: it to me. This happens in mid November. If you 161 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,559 Speaker 1: are indeed being transparent, why continue continue trickle of disclosures 162 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: around these classified documents. That's CNN, that Senate. Look when 163 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,079 Speaker 1: the Democrats have lost CNN, their ship is sinking. That 164 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: is bad CNN. As are as hardcore left wing partisans 165 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: as you can find. And the problem is the White 166 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: House every day sends out flax who say things that 167 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: are false. I mean, listen, I think this podcast may 168 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: have single handedly taken Karine John Pierre off the air. 169 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: Ben I don't know why you're so mean to her, 170 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: just because she lies to the American people every days. 171 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: That seems a really harsh thing to do. But I'm pro, 172 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: and I'm pro employment by the way, I actually feel 173 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: a little bad right well, every single day what they 174 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: stand up and say, you don't have to wait forty 175 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: eight hours twenty four hours later those facts are no 176 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: longer operative. Look at the opening question in that exchange 177 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: from CNN. So when the FBI rated Biden's penn office, 178 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: did they find any additional documents? Now there's an answer 179 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: to that question. The answer is yes or no. It's 180 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: one of the two. Presumably she didn't answer that. Yeah, 181 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 1: she said, oh you got to talk to someone else. 182 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: You know what that means? That means tomorrow or the 183 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: next day or the next day, we're going to find 184 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: out yes they found additional documents, or no they didn't. 185 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: Like this is not, at the end of the day, 186 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: terribly complicated that when you have a scandal in Washington, 187 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: get the facts out, get them out fast, Be totally transparent, 188 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: be open kimono. Say here's what happened. The FBI examined it. 189 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: We found this, We found this, like just answer it 190 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: ripped the band aid off. To mix my metaphors, we've 191 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: got an open kimono with a band aid being ripped off, 192 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: and it's Joe Biden. Okay, that's now really frightening. But 193 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: it could be worse. It could be Hunter. Look, never 194 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: mind the imagery. I'm glad this is an audio podcast 195 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: and not a video one because my eyes would be 196 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: burning in ibe Homer Simpson pouring bleach and my eyeballs 197 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: right now. But they're deliberately or either deliberately or incompetently 198 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: setting this up for the drip, drip drip. We can't 199 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: answer that. We won't answer that. And CNN says, look, 200 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 1: you don't get to say I'm being transparent when you're 201 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: not telling us anything. Like stonewalling is by definition not transparent. 202 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: And CNN's point, you didn't tell us about the FBI. 203 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: We found out about it because you're not being transparent, 204 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: and I will say also so her response, he says, well, 205 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: there was a recent poll that shows Biden's just doing great, 206 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: so never mind any of this. Well, I'll tell you 207 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: there was another poll that was done by you gov 208 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: just recently that concluded, quote, the share of Democrats who 209 00:11:54,240 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: see Biden as honest and trustworthy has fallen ten points 210 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: from seventy nine percent in December to sixty nine percent 211 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 1: this week. Among independents, that perception fell seven points from 212 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: thirty percent to twenty three percent, and it even fell 213 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: six points among Republicans from fourteen percent to eight percent. 214 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 1: So their claim this is not making a difference is 215 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: directly contradicted by the polls. And the reason is they are. 216 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: They're being the opposite of transparent. They are hiding everything, 217 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: They're refusing to answer questions, which means I can promise 218 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: you there will be new news on this next week. 219 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: I don't know what it'll be. Well, you just mentioned transparency, 220 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: and I want to play this because it speaks to 221 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: what you're saying they're not being transparent on any of it. 222 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: They're not telling the truth. Joe Biden came back from 223 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: another weekend vacation and he was asked about this on 224 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 1: the Law of the White House, and this was a question. 225 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you that the transcript for everybody, because 226 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: then you can follow easier. The reporter says, if the 227 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: Special Counsel who's starting this week asked for your testimony, 228 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: would you give testimony? The reporter says, Joe Biden responds 229 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: by saying, Oh, I don't even know about the Special Counsel. 230 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: Listen carefully, Cecil Council who's starting to your guest for 231 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: your testimony, your testimony. I I don't even know about 232 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: the Special Council. This is why you go back the 233 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: poll that you just mentioned when it says is Biden 234 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: as as honest and trustworthy has fallen ten points from 235 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: seventy nine percent December to sixty nine percent this week. 236 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 1: Among independence, that perception fell seven points. I mean that 237 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: one was among Democrats, the first one from thirty percent 238 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: to twenty three. He's lost independence at twenty three percent, 239 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: and it's following another six points, as you mentioned among 240 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: Republicans down to eight percent, and he looks at you, 241 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: he goes, oh, I don't even know anything about a 242 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: special counsel. Now, I do believe that a cognitive decline 243 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: is real with this guy, but I don't believe he 244 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: doesn't know that there's a special counsel. So, Ben, let 245 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: me ask a simple question. Is he telling the truth 246 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: or is he lying? You're lying? Both of those outcomes 247 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: are bad. If he's telling the truth, and I actually 248 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: think there's a very real possibility he's telling the truth. 249 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: When he says I don't know about the special counsel, 250 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: the degree to which this man is intellectually compromised is 251 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: not aware. I want you to think, in the history 252 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: of our government, can you imagine Richard Nixon saying, I 253 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: don't know who Archibald Cox is. I don't know anything 254 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: about that. Can you imagine Bill Clinton saying Ken Starr, 255 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: who's he? Never heard of it? Can you imagine Donald 256 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: Trump saying Robert Muller, who's that guy? Never heard of 257 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: the guy? Like, the two options are Biden is telling 258 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 1: the truth, and let's give him the benefit of the doubt. 259 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: Let's assume he's telling the truth. He's standing up there 260 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: saying I don't know about the special counsel. What kind 261 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: of president doesn't know his own Attorney General and Department 262 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: of Justice has appointed a special counsel to investigate him, 263 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: Joseph Robinette Biden Junior, for potential violations of federal criminal law. 264 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: If he doesn't know, that is one heck of an 265 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: indictment of his ability to do the job as president. 266 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 1: If he does know, then option number two, which ironically 267 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: is the less damning option, is he's just blithely lying 268 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: to the press that he knows about it. He's like, Oh, 269 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, because I don't want to talk about it. 270 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: That's the best option. The irony is that he's a 271 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: deliberate and blatant liar. Is the less damaging option then 272 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: that he is so oblivious he is not aware that 273 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 1: his own Justice Department has had to appoint a special 274 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: counsel to investigate multiple flagrant, apparent violations of federal criminal 275 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: law by him. Yeah, and that brings us, honestly to 276 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: this next story. You talked about this on the last podcast, 277 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: and for people listening if you'd missed this episode, there 278 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: was a lot of bad weather. I know, a lot 279 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: of people may not have been driving over the last 280 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: couple of days with a snow and ice storm that's 281 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: hitting the country. But this is an episode you need 282 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: to go back to and listen to. We were talking 283 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: about this, this incredible email that Hunter Biden sent to 284 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: one Devin Archer, one of his business associates, trying to 285 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: get this job in Ukraine on Barisma a week before 286 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: his dad goes over there and two weeks before he 287 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: gets his eighty thousand plus dollars a month job with 288 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: Barisma sitting on the board and this email. Many people 289 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: you taught you said this, you believe this email clearly 290 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: came from a document that was more than likely a 291 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: classified document that the Vice president at the time, Joe Biden, 292 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: would have had his hands on. And we go into 293 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: great detail about that email. So go back and listen 294 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: to that our last podcast. But there's new documents center 295 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: that have come out. Hunter Biden apparently pitched himself as 296 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: an expert in Russian oligarch who was targeted by the FBI. 297 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: Now Miranda Divine, who she wrote a book. I'd tell 298 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: people rarely to go buy books, but if you haven't 299 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: read Laptop from Hell, you should she's the one that 300 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,440 Speaker 1: came out with us, saying. Hunter Biden boasted he could 301 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 1: provide intelligence on the shady Russian oligarch whose Greenwich Villa 302 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 1: townhouse was rated by the FBI on Tuesday. The present 303 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: son said he could provide Alcoa, a giant US aluminum firm, 304 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: with knowledge about the elite quote unquote networks connected to 305 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: this olagark and a proposal from his company, Rosemont Seneca. 306 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: These emails again telling this story on Hunter Biden's laptop 307 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: and federal agents what we're being told carried out law 308 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: enforcement activity on Tuesday at the Gray Street townhouse and 309 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: a Washington mansion tied to these Russian oligarchs, a close 310 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and this is who 311 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden was trying to do business with. Well, that's 312 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 1: exactly right. Before I address that, though, I do have 313 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 1: to say two things. Number One, Ben, you just said 314 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: you rarely rarely urge people to buy books. Yours was 315 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 1: the last one before this, So there you go. I've 316 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: got a book, Justice Corrupted, how the Left has weaponized 317 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: the legal system. I got to say, why do you 318 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 1: hurt me? Yeah? Why are you urging people? Not to 319 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: buy my damn books. They how to go to Amazon. 320 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 1: Right now, you can pause the podcast. I want you 321 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: to listen to the rest of the podcast, but you 322 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: can pause the podcast, you can flip over to Amazon 323 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: and with one click you can do the have it 324 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,439 Speaker 1: delivered tomorrow. I love it. In fact, you could combo 325 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 1: these two books together. Valid point. All right, So, and 326 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: I will say secondly, you said in our last podcast, 327 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: which was on Monday, and it was we got went 328 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: into great detail about a very detailed email that Hunter 329 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: Biden sent that had twenty two points about Ukraine and 330 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: geopolitical analysis, that was very scholarly, very areadite. And you 331 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: said that that I said that this was this was 332 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: very likely from classified documents. I want, I want to 333 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: be clear. I didn't say that. What I said was 334 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 1: this email is very unlike the other emails Hunter Biden sent, 335 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,639 Speaker 1: and it reads as if it came from a federal 336 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: government briefing. Binger, that's a better way of putting it. 337 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: I think it is quite likely that the substance of 338 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: the email came from a briefing that Joe Biden received 339 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: as vice president. It was a week before his trip 340 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: to Ukraine and It reads like a US government prepared briefing. 341 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: What I don't know is whether that briefing was classified 342 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: or not. It may have been, and often those briefings 343 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,240 Speaker 1: are classified, but I don't know one way or the other. 344 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: And what I've said is the Special Counsel needs to investigate. 345 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: It needs to look at the briefings that Joe Biden 346 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: as Vice president received at that time. Those are in 347 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: the archives, they have them, and it needs to examine 348 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: did Hunter Biden's email cut and paste and copy from 349 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: that briefing. Now, if it was not a classified briefing, 350 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 1: that's the Biden family exploiting daddy's connections, and that's that's 351 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: kind of sleazy, but it's not necessarily illegal. If it 352 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: is a classified document, and presumably Hunter did not have 353 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: security clearance, then it is illegal, likely on both Hunter 354 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: Biden's part and Joe Biden's part, and so on the 355 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: face of it, it screams out that this came from 356 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: a far more detailed government briefing than Hunter had the expertise. Now, 357 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: there's another email that Hunter Biden sent, and he sent 358 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: this email to Alcoa, the big aluminum company, to quote 359 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: provide alca A statistical analysis of political and corporate risks 360 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: elite networks associated with Oleg Deripaska, Russian CEO of Basic 361 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: Elements Company and United Company RUSSAU and in on June 362 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 1: third of twenty eleven, Hunter wrote quote, please see the 363 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: attached proposal per our last conversation, we try to provide 364 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: a little better sense of the product by attaching some 365 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: of the raw data that is produced through the elite 366 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: mapping procedure. And the proposal includes quote a list of 367 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 1: elites of similar rank in Russia, maps of the oligarchs 368 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: networks based on frequency of interactions with selected and countries. 369 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: And Hunter watered to charge Outcoa fees of twenty five 370 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: thousand dollars for phase one of the project and fifty 371 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars for refined analysis, and Alcoa came back 372 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: on June eighth with an email and said, I don't 373 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: believe the data analysis is worth the full fifty five 374 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. I think the most valuable piece for us 375 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 1: would be the list of the Russian elites connected with 376 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: the oligarch der Pasca that would not be otherwise on 377 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: Government Affairs team's radar, including various Russian committee, committee heads, 378 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: union leaders or ministers, and the person from Alcoa also 379 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: noted Hunter's political pedigree. And here's what it says, quote 380 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: Rosemont Seneca. His company has co chairman Hunter Biden, son 381 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden, and Christopher Hines, stepson of Senator John Kerry. 382 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: So they're being very open. Hey, these are the kids 383 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 1: of politicians with classified information, and we're going to pay 384 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:09,639 Speaker 1: for it. Now. Once again, there's nothing in Hunter Biden's background. 385 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: There's nothing in his educational training, There's nothing in his 386 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 1: study that suggests that he has any particular expertise on 387 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 1: the networks of elites in Russia connected to Russian oligarchs. 388 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: Now he wants to charge fifty five thousand dollars for 389 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: his analysis. Hey, you want to know what's going on 390 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: with the Russian oligarchs, I'm your guy. That Once again, 391 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: like the Ukraine email, it is a level of sophistication 392 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 1: that it asks any person with a reasonable degree of skepticism. 393 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 1: How did Hunter Biden find this out? Where did he 394 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: get it? Did he you know, does he often pile 395 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: around with Russian oligarchs? How does he know who are 396 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: the oligarchs friends and peers and contemporaries and what's going 397 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: on other than the only source I'm aware of for 398 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: him to get this information is the briefing apparatus that 399 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: surrounded his father, the Vice President of the United States. 400 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: I don't know that those briefs who were provided a Hunter. 401 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: I just don't know of any other source from which 402 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 1: he could have acquired this information. And mind you, the 403 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 1: White House isn't providing any. Hunter Biden isn't suggesting any. 404 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: Joe Biden isn't suggesting any. No Democrats are suggesting any. 405 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 1: So the obvious inferences this came from Daddy. And again, 406 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: if it's just Daddy saying, all right, here all my 407 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: briefings from my staff go make money and sell it 408 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: on the private sector for fifty five grand a pop. 409 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: That's pretty sleazy. But it may not be directly illegal, 410 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: but it should be looked at. But if the briefings 411 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: are classified briefings, if they are the sa I A 412 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 1: saying here are the oligarchs in Russia, here are the 413 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: relationships between them, and suddenly Hunter is getting access to it, 414 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: then you're facing serious criminal liability. And so we now 415 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: have two emails that strongly raise the inference that Hunter 416 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 1: had access to his father's files. We know that Dad 417 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: was leaving classified documents just about everywhere, sitting who puts 418 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: classified documents in the garage next to their classic corvette 419 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: which Hunter Biden was living in. Joe Biden's house was 420 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: driving the corvette like it's remarkable. But the Special Counsel, 421 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: if he's going to do his job we talked about 422 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: on the last podcast, the tell if DJ's trying to 423 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: protect the political prospects of the White House, they will 424 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: do everything they can not to investigate the connections between 425 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. If they're actually following the 426 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: facts and the evidence, the entire focus should be on 427 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: the connections between Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, because that's 428 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: what implicates corruption from then the Vice president of the 429 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: United States and today the President of the United States. 430 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 1: I want to get people an update on another very 431 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: important story that's really gone viral, and it dealt with 432 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: Biden's judicial nominee who didn't know what Article two of 433 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: the Constitution is and now Democrats have actually been forced 434 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: to defend this nominee. I'm going to play that audio 435 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: that originally kind of exploded for people, but before we 436 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: do that.

We are the highest trial 472 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: court in Washington States, so I'm frequently faced with issues 473 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,120 Speaker 1: that I'm not familiar with, and I thoroughly review the law, 474 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: our research, and apply the law to the fact I'm 475 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: presented to me, or you're going to be faced with 476 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: it is a if you're confirmed, I can assure you that. 477 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Senator, it's still shocking when you hear it. 478 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: But we talked about this on this show, and this 479 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: has really exploded to the point now where Democrats are 480 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: having to come in and defend this and try to 481 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: normalize this. Dick Durbin, one of your colleagues, is one 482 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: of the people trying to save this. Give people kind 483 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: of an update of what's happening in DC. Well, first 484 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: of all, let me explain what the questions are that 485 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,880 Speaker 1: John Kennedy asked. So. Article five of the Constitution is 486 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: the article of the Constitution that provides how amendments are 487 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: made to the Constitution, and it is the process. It 488 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: is how we got the Bill of Rights. It is 489 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: how we've got every amendment to the Constitution is through 490 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: Article five. Article two of the Constitution is even more fundamental. 491 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: So the first three articles of the Constitution. Article one 492 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: creates the legislature, invests all legislative power in the Congress, 493 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives, in the Senate. Article two, which 494 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: is what Kennedy asked about, creates the President of the 495 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: United States and the entire executive branch. It is the 496 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: executive It is an incredibly important article of the Constitution. 497 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: Article three is what creates the judiciary. So this woman 498 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: has been nominated to be what's called an Article three judge, 499 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: which means she's nominated by the President, confirmed by the Senate, 500 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: and then enjoys life tenure she's a federal judge. For 501 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: a first year law student to not know what Article 502 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: two of the Constitution is, you would flunk constitutional law. 503 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: Like this may be something that an ordinary layperson might 504 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: not know, but not even any lawyer, any law student, 505 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,719 Speaker 1: to not know Article two is stunning. For somebody that 506 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: wants to be a federal judge, wants to be an 507 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: Article three federal judge, to have no idea what an 508 00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: Article three federal judge is is remarkable. And so Dicturban, 509 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. And mind you, the 510 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: Democrats have confirmed every single one hundred of the judges 511 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: nominated by Joe Biden. The Democrats are confirmed. Not a 512 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: single Democrats senator has voted against a single Joe Biden nominee. 513 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: And he has nominated the most radical, the most extreme, 514 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: and in many cases, the most un qualified judicial nominees 515 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. So Durban said this week that he's 516 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: confident that Charnel, Bagel, ken Grin, which is the woman 517 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: who didn't know the answers to that will be confirmed. 518 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: And here's the quote from Durban. The honest answer is 519 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: there aren't many members of the Judiciary Committee who can 520 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: answer all those questions. Well, let me say if Dick 521 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: Durban's defense is, you know, we got Democrat members of 522 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee who have no friggant idea what Article 523 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: too is. Let me tell you right now, ben people 524 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: need to get the hell off the Judiciary Committee. Like 525 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: if you don't know what Article two of the Constitution is, 526 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: this is not complicated. John Kennedy was not asking some 527 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: obscure gotcha question. There are unfair questions you can ask, 528 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: you know. You see it in presidential elections where you 529 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: get someone that says, you know, who's the foreign Minister 530 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: of Azerbaijan, and you know the Canada will be like, 531 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: I don't know, and they're like, ah, you're a moron. 532 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: These were not obscure gotcha questions. You know. This is 533 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: like somebody who is interviewing to be a sports broadcaster 534 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,920 Speaker 1: for the NFL and they say, okay, how many points 535 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: do you get for kicking a field goal? And the 536 00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: person says, I have not reviewed field goals recently. Like 537 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: it is that level of like, if you don't know 538 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: what Article two of the Constitution is, you shouldn't be 539 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: a judge. And by the way, Dick Durban, if your 540 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: defense is, well, gosh, the Democrats we put on this committee, 541 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: we're as ignorant as these nominees. That ain't a very 542 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: good defense. It doesn't. It's not a very good defense. 543 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: And yet that's all they're left with. I mean, when 544 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: you have to defend the indefensible, and that's what this 545 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: basically is, I guess you just say, Okay, I'm gonna 546 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: look like an idiot two and take one for the 547 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: team to try to salvage this. I mean, do you 548 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,719 Speaker 1: think there's any chance they don't confirm her, because, like 549 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: you said, they have confirmed every single judge it's come 550 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: before them from the Democratic side, from Biden. Look, I 551 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: think they believe the press will not hold them accountable 552 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 1: and so they can just party line vote. Everyone. This 553 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: is an embarrassing judicial nomination. And you know, I'm reminded 554 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: of a similar example in the Trump administration. So in 555 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, the first year of the Trump presidency, Trump 556 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: nominated a fellow named Matthew Peterson to be a federal judge. 557 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 1: He was a commissioner on the Federal Election Commission, and 558 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: he went before the Judiciary Commis and once again, John Kennedy, 559 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: my friend, senator from Louisiana, asked him some fairly basic 560 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: legal questions, and he did spectacularly poorly. In fact, take 561 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,279 Speaker 1: a listen to John Kennedy's questioning of Matthew Peterson, a 562 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:20,560 Speaker 1: Trump judicial nominee, in twenty seventeen. Um, have you ever 563 00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: tried a jury trial? I have? Not civil? No criminal, 564 00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: no bench, no stay at our federal court? I have not. 565 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,239 Speaker 1: Have you ever taken a deposition? I was involved in 566 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 1: taking depositions when I was associate at Wiley Ryan when 567 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: I first came out of law school. Um, but that 568 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,439 Speaker 1: that was. Have you ever how many? How many depositions? 569 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 1: I would um, I'd be struggling too to remember. Less 570 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:57,840 Speaker 1: than ten, yes, less than five, probably somewhere. Have you 571 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:04,320 Speaker 1: ever tried taken a deposition by yourself? I believe no? Okay, 572 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: have you ever argued emotion in state court? I have not. 573 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: Have you ever argued emotion in federal court? No? When's 574 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: the last time you read the Federal Rules of civil procedure. 575 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: The Federal Rules of Civil procedure I have in my 576 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 1: current position, I obviously don't need to stay as you know, 577 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: UH invested in those on a day to day basis, 578 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: but I do try to keep up to speed. We 579 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: do have at the at the Federal Election Commission roughly 580 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 1: seventy attorneys who work under our guidance, including a large 581 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: litigation division, and as a commissioner, we oversee that litigation. 582 00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 1: We advise them on over all legal serrategy, provide recommendations 583 00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: and addits to briefs and so forth, and meet with 584 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 1: them about how we're going to handle it. If I 585 00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: got to ask you, I'm sorry to interruption, but we're 586 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: only given five minutes for five of you. So when's 587 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: the last time you read the Federal Rules of evidence? 588 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 1: The Federal Rules of Evidence all the way through, would 589 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,840 Speaker 1: um well comprehensively would have been in law school, obviously 590 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,560 Speaker 1: I have been involved in when I was an associate. 591 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:29,360 Speaker 1: UM that was something that we had to stay closely 592 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 1: abreast of. And um there have been some issues dealing 593 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: with evidentiary issues that will cause me to UM examine 594 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: those periodically in in our oversight role oft the litigation 595 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: division at the Federal Election Commission. Okay, Um, well, as 596 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: a child judge, you're obviously going to have witnesses. And 597 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: you tell me what the dobear standard is, Senator Kennedy, 598 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: I don't have that readily at my disposal, but I 599 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,640 Speaker 1: would be happy to take a closer look at that. 600 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 1: That That is not something that I've had to contender. Um, 601 00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 1: do you know what emotion in lemony is? Uh? Yes, 602 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:20,320 Speaker 1: I haven't. Um, I'm again, my background is not in litigation, 603 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,919 Speaker 1: as as when I was replying to Chairman Grassley, UM, 604 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: I haven't had to Umm again, do a deep dive. 605 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 1: And and I understand and I appreciate this, this line 606 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: of question, and I understand the challenge that would be 607 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: ahead of me if I were fortunate enough to become 608 00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,440 Speaker 1: a district court judge. I understand that, Um, that the 609 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 1: path that many successful district court judges have taken has 610 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: been a different one than I have taken. So that 611 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: was a Trump judicial nominee the first year of Trump's presidency. Now, 612 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 1: some of the questions that John Kennedy asked are particular 613 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,160 Speaker 1: to trying cases, something like the Dobet standard. If you're 614 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: not a trial lawyer, you probably don't know what it is. 615 00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: It's from a Supreme Court case, and it lays out 616 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:17,040 Speaker 1: the standard to assess a witnesses, expert testimony, and scientific testimony, 617 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: whether it's valid, whether it's admissible. Likewise, emotion limiting. If 618 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: you're not a trial lawyer, you wouldn't necessarily know that 619 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,479 Speaker 1: emotion limity is emotion that is made to the judge 620 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 1: outside the presidence of the jury and to request that 621 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: testimony be excluded from consideration by the jury. Now, if 622 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 1: you're being nominated to be ambassador to Peru, you don't 623 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: need to know the Dobet standard. You don't need to 624 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: know emotional limity because that's not your job. You do 625 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: need to know something about Peru, presumably, But if you're 626 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 1: being nominated to be a federal district judge, where you're 627 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: going to wear a black robe and sit on the 628 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: bench and preside over trials, where lawyers are going to 629 00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,680 Speaker 1: make motions and lemon ay, and it'd be really good 630 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: if you said, I'm sorry, counsel, what is that? This 631 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: was when this questioning happened, I got to admit for 632 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: the rest of us. It was a little bit like 633 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 1: watching a train wreck where you just stopped. I mean, 634 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: you felt horrified. And listen, this fellow, Matthew Peterson, as 635 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,640 Speaker 1: far as I know, is a very nice guy. I 636 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: don't know him. He's you know, he was a Republican, 637 00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 1: presumably a conservative. He was on the Federal Election Commission, 638 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,280 Speaker 1: but he was not qualified to be a federal district judge. 639 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 1: Here's what happened after that, questioning the Republicans on the 640 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee to a person said this is a problem, 641 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 1: and the Trump white House withdrew the domination. They said, Okay, 642 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: we can't do this. We can't and and look, sometimes 643 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 1: a white House screws up. They put someone, they put 644 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: the wrong person forward, it doesn't go well, and they say, okay, rewind. 645 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: And by the way, there were several nominees that were 646 00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,720 Speaker 1: put forward by the Trump white House that the Senate. 647 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,120 Speaker 1: The Republicans in the Senate raised issues with and said, hey, 648 00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: this person's not the right choice. We're Republicans, we generally 649 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: support what you're doing, but we're going to impose some 650 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,320 Speaker 1: standards of quality, and in this case, you've got to 651 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: be qualified to do the job. What is amazing is 652 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: Dick Durban and the Democrats are digging in and saying 653 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. If our judicial nominees have no idea 654 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 1: what's in the United States Constitution, if they don't know 655 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 1: what Article too is, doesn't matter. We're Democrats, Damn the torpedoes. 656 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: We don't care about the substance. We're going to stick 657 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 1: to it. And you know what, we know not a 658 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: single reporter back home is going to ask us, wait, 659 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 1: why did you vote to confirm someone that knows nothing 660 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: about the United States Constitution to be a federal judge. 661 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 1: Isn't that an important step? I don't understand why there's 662 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: not a Democrat willing to call the Biden White House 663 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 1: and say, hey, kind of screwed up on this one. 664 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the drawing board. Let's find someone else. 665 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: We can find a left wing radical, we got lots 666 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,120 Speaker 1: of those, but let's find a left wing radical that 667 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: actually knows what Article two of the Constitution is. To date, 668 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: not a single Democrat's been willing to do that. It's incredible, 669 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,360 Speaker 1: and I think that just tells you how partisan that 670 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is. When they just say we want something, 671 00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 1: there's no logic there's no reason behind it. And this. 672 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 1: But it's not that it's not just partisan. It's also 673 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 1: that they believe they will have no scrutiny. It is 674 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 1: because the corporate media is corrupt that they can do 675 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,160 Speaker 1: this and know when they get home they will get 676 00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,200 Speaker 1: lovey dovey questions like Joe Biden gets of you know, 677 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: what's your favorite flavor of ice cream, rather than actually, 678 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 1: you know, I'd be embarrassed. I'm you know, I'd be 679 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: embarrassed to vote to confirm a judge like this. The 680 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 1: Democrats don't feel any embarrassment because the press will bury 681 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: it and ignore it. Yeah, and this is what the 682 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 1: problem is. I think with so many Americans, they just 683 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: get so frustrated, flabbergasted by the fact that this is 684 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,799 Speaker 1: how business can be done. Certainly on the Democratic side, 685 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,120 Speaker 1: at least there's putting some pressure at least Durbans now 686 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,520 Speaker 1: at least having to come out and try to save this. 687 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 1: And as you said, you believe they'll probably get you know, confirmed, 688 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,600 Speaker 1: because this is the Democratic Party in twenty twenty three. 689 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 1: All right, But by the way, Ben, so this podcast 690 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,960 Speaker 1: comes out Wednesday morning, Thursday morning, we're scheduled to have 691 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: a markup in Judiciary. I'll tell you what I intend 692 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 1: to do. Thursday morning, We're gonna have a markup. Now 693 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:40,240 Speaker 1: I'm intrigued. I am going to quote Dick Durban who says, 694 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,320 Speaker 1: many of the members of this committee cannot answer these questions. 695 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: And I'm going to look at my Democrat colleagues and 696 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, let me ask you, are there any 697 00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 1: members of this committee who don't know what Article two 698 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,759 Speaker 1: of the Constitution is? Because if there are, you need 699 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 1: to pull the hell off this committee and get in 700 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: another committee. Like that is an honishing statement for the 701 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 1: chairman to make. Oh, our members have no frigging idea 702 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,239 Speaker 1: what's in the constitution, and that's our defense. I don't 703 00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,840 Speaker 1: know how they'll respond, and I actually am quite confident 704 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: that zero Democrats on the committee listen to this podcast, 705 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: so I know it's coming. I'm previewing what I'm going 706 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: to do tomorrow, and I have an absolute certitude they 707 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 1: will have no idea, and I promise everybody we will 708 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,759 Speaker 1: give you an update and we will count.
