Speaker 1: See you right here for our final news roundup and
Speaker 1: information overload. Welcome back to The Sean Hannity Show. Happy Holidays,
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. Just a couple of days away on Greg
Speaker 1: Jarrett filling in for Sean Hannity. I'm a Fox News
Speaker 1: legal analyst, former defense attorney, trial attorney in California, that
Speaker 1: was decades ago. You could follow me though on x
Speaker 1: formerly Twitter at Greg Jarrett. That's two g's at the
Speaker 1: end of Greg, two rs and two t's. Lots of
Speaker 1: doubles there, Greg Jarrett, and you can also read my
Speaker 1: columns on my own website, Thegreg Jarrett dot Com. All right,
Speaker 1: it's a brand new hour. We're going to be taking
Speaker 1: some of your calls. Really appreciate some of the comments
Speaker 1: and questions we've had so far. Let me remind you
Speaker 1: of the number one eight hundred and nine four one
Speaker 1: seven six Again, that's one eight hundred nine four one Sean, Sean,
Speaker 1: all right. In a moment, I'm gonna be talking to
Speaker 1: Joe Concia, who is a media analyst, Fox News contributor.
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of great books. Uh, the newest
Speaker 1: one is upcoming. It's called The Greatest Comeback ever inside
Speaker 1: Trump's big, beautiful campaign, unburdened by what has been it
Speaker 1: unpacks the liberal media breakdown. It really seems to have
Speaker 1: no end. And you know what, the liberal media may
Speaker 1: never get over Trump's comeback victory. It began with utter
Speaker 1: disbelief and tearful post mortems. Then it gave way to
Speaker 1: anger and aggrieved rants against the American voters. What idiots
Speaker 1: they are. Then the meltdowns and recriminations eventually morphed into
Speaker 1: widespread panic, and that is where we are today. You
Speaker 1: see the legacy media, they were all in for Democrats
Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris and without reticence, they vented their spleens
Speaker 1: against the evil Orange man Donald Trump. He's a racist,
Speaker 1: a fascist, he's a dictator, he's Hitler and his election,
Speaker 1: they promised us, would be the end of democracy in
Speaker 1: the last election ever held. Some of them still believe it,
Speaker 1: and the unhinged, hysterical reaction among supposedly fair and objective
Speaker 1: journalists has really been quite breathtaking to behold. They promised
Speaker 1: their readers and their viewers that Trump would never win,
Speaker 1: he can't, and then what he did. Their audiences understandably
Speaker 1: abandon them in droves. Why, because they squandered their credibility.
Speaker 1: They tossed away in the garbage any trust they might
Speaker 1: have had. You think I'm kidding about that. CNN's ratings,
Speaker 1: take a look at them. They have cratered to an
Speaker 1: all time low, suffering a fifty two percent decline in primetime.
Speaker 1: Those are their best shows. Half the audience said, I'm
Speaker 1: out of here. MSNBC's ratings have tanked more than sixty
Speaker 1: percent in primetime. And the question is can they survive
Speaker 1: and recover? Well, let's put that question to my pal
Speaker 1: Joe Conca, as I say, a Fox News contributor media analyst,
Speaker 1: is upcoming book that greatest comeback ever, inside Trump's big,
Speaker 1: beautiful campaign, unburdened by what has been, which is a
Speaker 1: facetious nod the Kamala love the title. Joe, you know,
Speaker 1: before I ask you the question, can the media recover
Speaker 1: from their own self destruction? Tell me a bit about
Speaker 1: the book.
Speaker 2: Well, thanks, Greg, and yeah, we're well past you know,
Speaker 2: Citizen Kane and Moby Dick like you have to have
Speaker 2: a title now that goes on for a while. I
Speaker 2: couldn't resist the digs And if you see the cover,
Speaker 2: you could pre order the greatest comeback ever. Now you'll
Speaker 2: see that the photo that I really wanted to go with,
Speaker 2: that I pushed our friends over at HarperCollins to run,
Speaker 2: was not the Trump assassination attempt where he had the
Speaker 2: blood on his face and he's going fight, fight, fight,
Speaker 2: or any kind of serious shot of Trump. I wanted McDonald's.
Speaker 2: I wanted that drive through. I wanted Trump and smiling
Speaker 2: to a customer as they're leaving. I said, that's the
Speaker 2: whole campaign right there. So to answer your question, the
Speaker 2: book starts on May eleventh, twenty twenty four. What was that?
Speaker 2: That was Trump's rally in Wildwood. And when I decided
Speaker 2: to write the book, I reached out to the Trump people.
Speaker 2: I said, hey, I've never been to a Trump rally before.
Speaker 2: I'm from New Jersey, doesn't really come here all that often.
Speaker 2: Why would he would love to attend one and just
Speaker 2: get a feel and talk to the folks there about
Speaker 2: this movement? And they said, okay, fine, we'll arrange for transportation.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, thank god, because I had an accurate
Speaker 2: at the time that had like two hundred and five
Speaker 2: thousand miles on it. I mean, it's like a really
Speaker 2: weird sound when I want to it was an hour,
Speaker 2: so I'm like, good, they're gonna send it over or something.
Speaker 2: Sure enough, I had to meet Trump on his plane
Speaker 2: at Laguardi Airport and got to sit right on the
Speaker 2: great Trump plane and they served Wendy's, which I didn't
Speaker 2: see coming, but it was quite good. And yeah, I
Speaker 2: attended that rally. I attended the debate against Biden on
Speaker 2: June twenty seventh. Obviously, then we had Biden drop out,
Speaker 2: We had had two assassination attempts on Donald Trump. We
Speaker 2: had Kamala Harris installed by the party that says they
Speaker 2: want to save democracy. So they literally went like full
Speaker 2: Soviet and just said, okay, here's your candidate now, and
Speaker 2: all the way up through the Madison Square Garden rally
Speaker 2: that was portrayed as a ode to Nazis, which was
Speaker 2: utterly ridiculous. And then obviously election night, Donald Trump wins,
Speaker 2: every swing state, wins the popular vote, and then the
Speaker 2: meltdown you just described by the media begins, which has
Speaker 2: just been delicious to watch because, as you said, these
Speaker 2: people don't deserve sympathy. This wasn't oh, we got it wrong.
Speaker 2: They lied to the American people about Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
Speaker 2: They lied about Kamala Harris and all of her flip
Speaker 2: flops as far as policy positions. And now the justice
Speaker 2: rts are coming in, as you said, fifty sixty. Even
Speaker 2: some shows on MSNBC down seventy percent. And I don't
Speaker 2: think they're coming back, Greg, because with all the options
Speaker 2: out there, radio shows like yours, podcast like yours, Joe Rogan,
Speaker 2: Theo Vaughn, all these different places now where you can
Speaker 2: get the truth. I have a feeling that these companies
Speaker 2: are going to see a lot of consolidation, layoffs and
Speaker 2: pay cuts, and we're already seeing that happen.
Speaker 3: Greg.
Speaker 1: You know, if your upcoming book, the greatest comeback ever,
Speaker 1: is anything like your last book, which was sensational, loved
Speaker 1: it through and through, then this one is. You know
Speaker 1: it's going to be another New York Times bestseller, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it, all right, especially hard hits. Speaking of MSNBC,
Speaker 1: Mika and Joe, you know the morning show on MSNBC,
Speaker 1: they hadn't spoken to Trump in four years. They hated him,
Speaker 1: They called him every dirty name of the book, did
Speaker 1: so every day, day in and day out, then after
Speaker 1: he won, they you know, visited him down at Marlago
Speaker 1: and they bent the knee. And if they're Trump hating
Speaker 1: viewers would be perfectly okay with that, then, Mika enjoy
Speaker 1: I think, I think we're surely mistaken. Within days, nobody
Speaker 1: was watching their show anymore, and they wondered aloud why,
Speaker 1: and then they tried to defend themselves, and then they
Speaker 1: tried to reverse course. Nothing is working for them. Are
Speaker 1: they two of the most clueless people in television news?
Speaker 2: Oh, they're the most pious. Certainly they're the most insufferable.
Speaker 2: I'll give them that. Remember Joe Scarborough, it's a great clip.
Speaker 2: Maybe Linda could find it like in the next couple
Speaker 2: of minutes or so, But it's Joe Garborough lecturing his
Speaker 2: viewers that this is the best Joe Biden we have
Speaker 2: ever seen. And f you if you think I'm not
Speaker 2: telling the truth here. I speak to him all the time.
Speaker 2: I know this man has the cognitive abilities to be
Speaker 2: president and a great president. Remember Nancy Pelosi even said
Speaker 2: that he should be on Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, hey, let me interrupt you. We have
Speaker 1: that clip. We're gonna play it right now.
Speaker 4: I don't know if people know this or not.
Speaker 2: Biden used to be a hothead sometimes.
Speaker 5: That irishman would get in front of the reasoning. Sometimes
Speaker 5: you would say things he didn't want to say.
Speaker 6: This is and I don't really you know what they.
Speaker 5: Don't really start your tape right now because I'm about
Speaker 5: to tell you the truth and FU if.
Speaker 7: You can't handle the truth.
Speaker 5: This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever,
Speaker 5: not a close sucking and I've known him for years.
Speaker 5: The Prazinskis have known him for fifty years.
Speaker 1: If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it unbelievable.
Speaker 2: Take it from there, Joe, Oh, he's lying obviously if
Speaker 2: you spoke to Biden on a daily basis. Did you
Speaker 2: see that Wall Street Journal report that came out yesterday
Speaker 2: on Friday?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, fifty sources.
Speaker 2: Talking about how he wouldn't even take phone calls from
Speaker 2: the head of the Armed Services Committee ahead of the
Speaker 2: Afghanistan Madraw to warn him, like, you don't want to
Speaker 2: do this the way you're doing it. You're gonna depend
Speaker 2: on the Taliban for security at Kabble International Airport instead
Speaker 2: of using Bogron. This is bad. And they couldn't even
Speaker 2: get Biden on the phone with this person. That's how
Speaker 2: isolated he was. Greig he had nine cabinet meetings, full
Speaker 2: cabinet meetings.
Speaker 4: In four years.
Speaker 2: I mean that is insane. Trump had twenty five. So yeah,
Speaker 2: Scarborough was just saying that because look, he is a
Speaker 2: bad actor that you see at three o'clock in the
Speaker 2: morning on skin Imax. That's Joe Scarborough, that's Meek and
Speaker 2: Brazinski and good. They're losing their audience. Liberals hate them,
Speaker 2: Conservatives hate them, and they go down to mar A Lago.
Speaker 2: Did you see Godfather too, of this public rhetorical question, Yes,
Speaker 2: of course that one scene where the landlord is trying
Speaker 2: to fleece the old lady and then it's a young
Speaker 2: de Niro obviously as Corleone. And then once the guy
Speaker 2: realizes who you know, the Corleone family is, he kisses
Speaker 2: their butt and says, you know, actually, I'm gonna reduce
Speaker 2: her rent. There's not gonna be a rint. Like he's
Speaker 2: falling over things, he's knocking over things, like you know,
Speaker 2: and de Niro's just like standing there like kind of
Speaker 2: like smiling along, like, oh, this guy's totally kissing my ring.
Speaker 2: That's what they did, and they debased themselves even more so.
Speaker 2: Oh thank god you had that clip because it's so worth.
Speaker 2: Just that on a loop, and it's worth. It's delicious,
Speaker 2: it's priceless.
Speaker 1: And then I laughed out loud the other day when
Speaker 1: I read Donna Brazil's op ed, I think it was
Speaker 1: in The Hill, calling Joe one of her greatest presidents ever,
Speaker 1: comparing him to FDR and his new Deal and Lyndon
Speaker 1: Johnson's Great Society. But my favorite, Jonathan Alter, the liberal
Speaker 1: journalist who said Joe Biden will be remembered as a
Speaker 1: great president mentioned in the same sentence as George Washington. No, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he said that in July, and you know after he
Speaker 1: after Biden was forced out for mentaling competency. Uh, you
Speaker 1: can't make this stuff. Those are words that people like
Speaker 1: Donna Brazil and Jonathan Alter and jos Scarborough and so
Speaker 1: many others. The list goes on and on and on.
Speaker 1: Those are words that they will live to regret. But
Speaker 1: you know, the mainstream media, they don't care at this point.
Speaker 1: Now they're turning to Trump resistance, They're they're picking up
Speaker 1: where they left off. Aren't they.
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so silly. What's the latest narrative today? All right,
Speaker 2: Elon Musk is actually the president. He's running Trump. See
Speaker 2: when you say for eight years that Vladimir Putin is
Speaker 2: running Trump and that obviously wasn't resonating, then you got
Speaker 2: to find somebody else who's running Trump like Elon Musk. Oh,
Speaker 2: this unelected person, he's actually running the country. The same
Speaker 2: people who didn't care to ask over the last four
Speaker 2: years who's running the country when Joe Biden clearly his
Speaker 2: brain had turned apple sauce. And now you have this
Speaker 2: whole narrative. You think Donald Trump is run by anybody? Ever, No,
Speaker 2: you think they've learned that by now, and maybe I
Speaker 2: don't know. Explore why he won and what resonated and
Speaker 2: why Kamala Harris was the worst presidential candidate of our lifetimes.
Speaker 2: It said, they go back to resistance mode because it's
Speaker 2: all they know, because they're not journalist, Greg, they're activists
Speaker 2: and they're bad at what they do too. Thank god,
Speaker 2: we work for Fox. Like everybody else is going down
Speaker 2: fifty sixty seventy, we're up. We're way up from where
Speaker 2: we were in the election because we have honest people
Speaker 2: that will give you the truth. And oh, by the way,
Speaker 2: we don't act like a different person off the air
Speaker 2: than we do on. I guarantee you in the case
Speaker 2: of like Rachel Maddow, Jensaki, Joe Scarborough, Jim Acosta, there's
Speaker 2: a TV persona and then there's who they are in
Speaker 2: real life. We're kind of the same people like got
Speaker 2: it off. I don't see any difference when I talk
Speaker 2: to you in a green room or when we're talking
Speaker 2: on the radio. Right now, people appreciate authenticity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I have to also laugh at how
Speaker 1: they decry a billionaire's involvement Elon Musk. You know, the
Speaker 1: media is perfectly okay with billionaires like George Sorows and
Speaker 1: Mark Cuban being involved in politics as long as it's
Speaker 1: the right politics. Joe, if you can stick around for
Speaker 1: just a moment, we'll have you back on the other side.
Speaker 1: Lots more to talk about with a great Joe Kanca.
Speaker 1: He's got a new book coming out, the Greatest comeback ever,
Speaker 1: Sure to be a bestseller. I'm great. Jared filling in

Speaker 1: Back now with Joe Kancha here on the Sean Hannity
Speaker 1: Show on Greg Jerry, you know Joe so talking about
Speaker 1: the media bias. The New York Times ten days ago
Speaker 1: finally admitted that Biden created a border crisis that had
Speaker 1: badly damages to the US. Isn't it interesting that they
Speaker 1: never really told their readers that for a nearly four
Speaker 1: years and only after Biden lost.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I hear these mena culpas, Greg, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, apology not accepted. It was a crystalza
Speaker 2: I believe. He was on on Friday on his podcast
Speaker 2: from his Kitchen, I formally CNN, and he said, you know,
Speaker 2: as a reporter, as a journalist, I wish I dug
Speaker 2: deeper and tried to find the real truth about Joe
Speaker 2: Biden's cognitive decline. But dude, a big you just have
Speaker 2: to watch and listen for the last four years, this
Speaker 2: guy shaking hands with the air thing, he's having conversations
Speaker 2: with foreign leaders that have been dead for years, the
Speaker 2: fact he could remember his cabinet member names, the fact
Speaker 2: that he's in Delaware. He went to Delaware last week
Speaker 2: on Tuesday and didn't come back to Thursday, like I
Speaker 2: know O the week for like, no apparent reason was
Speaker 2: overwhelming that this guy's way turned apples off and you
Speaker 2: don't have ERUs.
Speaker 1: Just all right, Joe, Thanks buddy, take care of Joe Kanca.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. Don't go away.
Speaker 2: Check out the show twenty four to seven downloaded to
Speaker 2: your iPod via Hannity Insider at Hannity dot com.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show on Greg Jarrett
Speaker 1: filling in for Sean. We're taking your phone calls, and
Speaker 1: let's begin with this. And I go back to my
Speaker 1: earlier remarks a couple of hours ago in which I
Speaker 1: argue that Joe Biden, throughout his presidency has really not
Speaker 1: been compassmentus. The Latin term that, in simple language, means
Speaker 1: that his mind had turned a mush or, as is
Speaker 1: my pal Joe Consca said, applesauce brain. In other words,
Speaker 1: he was mentally infirmed dementias, sinility. Well, I think we're
Speaker 1: just beginning to find out. The Wall Street Journal penned
Speaker 1: a devastating expose on Joe Biden's diminished mental capacity dating
Speaker 1: back to his first day in office. And this thing
Speaker 1: was so well sourced by nearly fifty people who spoke
Speaker 1: on the condition of anonymity, but they all said the
Speaker 1: same thing. It was a frightening window into a mentally
Speaker 1: absentee president. And the staff concealed Joe's condition. They put
Speaker 1: him in a bubble so that very few people and
Speaker 1: especially the American public, could not see the mental decline.
Speaker 1: Public appearances were scrapped. Everything was carefully scripted. They gave
Speaker 1: him childlike instructions where to enter and exit the stage.
Speaker 1: You know, when he met with people, those people were
Speaker 1: given pre approved questions. They were cautioned not to deviate.
Speaker 1: And you know, Joe couldn't follow the scripted answers because
Speaker 1: he just wasn't mentally all there. And I guarantee you,
Speaker 1: as I said before, that books will be written about this.
Speaker 1: The biggest scandal perhaps in American political history, and the
Speaker 1: biggest cover up by not just sycophants in the White House,
Speaker 1: but by the media that refused to ask simple penetrating questions,
Speaker 1: by Democrats who lied about his condition and knew about it.
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a very interesting James O'Keefe undercover
Speaker 1: video got to X and you can see it, but
Speaker 1: the title of it is Joe Biden is dead. I
Speaker 1: presume that means mentally unwell national security advisor inside the
Speaker 1: White House details Biden quote can't say a sentence now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's hyperbole. It may be. My
Speaker 1: question is was he competent? Let's go to Tim in
Speaker 1: Montana who joins us now, Tim, what are your thoughts,
Speaker 1: any questions or comments?
Speaker 9: Good afternoon, Mitch Jared. It's a pleasure to speak with
Speaker 9: you quickly about Biden's metal the clients. How generous of
Speaker 9: the media to finally come out and talk about this
Speaker 9: when they've essentially given him four years, six years of
Speaker 9: campaign contributions by not reporting on it. But what I
Speaker 9: really wanted to talk about today was Matt Gaetz. You know,
Speaker 9: this report and some of those allegations are pretty scathing.
Speaker 9: Should he, could he, and should he file some Freedom
Speaker 9: of Information Act requests to find out on whose behalf
Speaker 9: have overstayd the last three or four decades fund's been
Speaker 9: paid out of of that nice little flush fund that
Speaker 9: the Congress and the Senate uses to pay off people
Speaker 9: who have been victims of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and
Speaker 9: sexual abuse by the people that we elect to go
Speaker 9: to Washington, DC to represent us. Because I think that
Speaker 9: if our funds are paying these payments out. I think
Speaker 9: we should all know about it, and we should know
Speaker 9: exactly which in these dirt bag politicians, regardless of party,
Speaker 9: are in there partying it up, have an orgies acting
Speaker 9: inappropriately while we send them to do work for us.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Tim, I that's a wonderful point, and
Speaker 1: such an under reported story about this, you know, incredible
Speaker 1: slush fund that was operated by Congress to in exchange
Speaker 1: for money, forced people to sign non disclosure agreements NDAs
Speaker 1: to keep the sexual harassment and maybe sexual assault under wraps.
Speaker 1: And you know, these are the same people who are
Speaker 1: now jumping all over Matt Gates as a consequence of
Speaker 1: the ethics report that has now been released. I think
Speaker 1: it's I think it's a great point. I want to
Speaker 1: see it. I want to know who committed these alleged defenses,
Speaker 1: if there's any truth to them, And let's put it
Speaker 1: all in perspective, because I think there are a lot
Speaker 1: of those folks who are equally guilty, who are members
Speaker 1: of Congress. Let's got to Aaron in Colorado, He joins us. Now, Aaron,
Speaker 1: what are your comments or questions?
Speaker 3: I have a comment, and the absolute best Christmas idea
Speaker 3: present ever, But with James o'keeth and the Washington Wall
Speaker 3: Street Journal's post, does that not challenge the legality of
Speaker 3: every signature, especially on these pardons that Joe Biden has
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look.
Speaker 3: Discharge his office because his staff even says he's incapable.
Speaker 1: Right, Let's just take one example, the pardons today of
Speaker 1: you know, thirty seven of forty people on federal death
Speaker 1: Row whose sentences were they were not pardoned. They were
Speaker 1: commune you did. But all of the other pardons, there
Speaker 1: were sixty five pardons so far by Joe Biden, more
Speaker 1: than sixteen hundred commutations. The guy's trying to set the
Speaker 1: Guinness Book of World records or pardons and commutations, and
Speaker 1: there's more to come, I guarantee you. But what if
Speaker 1: what if Joe Biden is not mentally competent? You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes in estate disputes challenging the legality of a will
Speaker 1: or an estate trust over the lack of competency of
Speaker 1: the deceased, you know, oftentimes you are required, at least
Speaker 1: in a court of law, to present under oath testimony
Speaker 1: and sworn statements from those who observed and were close
Speaker 1: to the decedent to say that at the time he
Speaker 1: executed this particular will or trust document, he was not
Speaker 1: mentally competent. So any challenge, for example, if these commutations
Speaker 1: and pardons over the competency of Joe Biden, you know,
Speaker 1: would require that kind of evidence to be presented. But
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I mean, as a lawyer, I
Speaker 1: would make the argument that maybe these are not legal
Speaker 1: documents if he was not mentally competent to properly execute it.
Speaker 1: In other words, if he had no idea what he
Speaker 1: was signing. And you know, given the reporting, especially by
Speaker 1: the Wall Street Journal, one has to wonder how long
Speaker 1: has this been going on, How serious is his suspected condition,
Speaker 1: what is that condition? Have his doctors, together with his family,
Speaker 1: been concealing what would be very damaging information solely for
Speaker 1: political purposes? And now, of course, in retrospect, it seems
Speaker 1: utterly ludicrous that this guy and his family thought that
Speaker 1: he could run for reelection and serve another four terms,
Speaker 1: I mean, and the fact that this could unfold in
Speaker 1: such secrecy, with such an elaborate cover up for so long,
Speaker 1: is really a condemnation of the executive branch of government
Speaker 1: and the legislative branch to the extent that members of
Speaker 1: Congress knew what was going on. And you know it,
Speaker 1: I think it calls to question the twenty fifth Amendment,
Speaker 1: that maybe this now needs to be seriously re examined
Speaker 1: so that something can be done from a president who
Speaker 1: has suffered a mental decline and is no longer capable
Speaker 1: of fulfilling the executive function and their duties as president
Speaker 1: of the United States. Let's go to another. One of
Speaker 1: our callers joining us now is Rick from Tennessee. Hey, Rick,
Speaker 1: how are you.
Speaker 6: Hey, Thank you for taking my call, my pleasure. Hey,
Speaker 6: I'm listening to your show. Really liked the show. Thank
Speaker 6: you for all you do and Hanity and everything. I'm
Speaker 6: with everything you're talking about. And I think we need
Speaker 6: to hold some people accountable, and there needs to be
Speaker 6: some accountability in the media and so on, and those
Speaker 6: things we can do.
Speaker 9: As well as My.
Speaker 6: Question is what can be done and just like you
Speaker 6: were touching on with the twenty fifth Amendment, and what
Speaker 6: can be done in the future to prevent this from
Speaker 6: ever ever happening again in America.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know the interesting thing about the twenty fifth Amendment,
Speaker 1: and I did some research and wrote about it in
Speaker 1: my book called witch Hunt. The twenty fifth Amendment has
Speaker 1: some very interesting language and legislative history, and it basically
Speaker 1: means that, you know, the cabinet can oust a president
Speaker 1: who is suffering from some sort of debilitating physical ailment,
Speaker 1: like a stroke or a heart attack. A lot of
Speaker 1: it was written in the context of Woodrow Wilson, the
Speaker 1: fascination of John F. Kennedy, and so forth. But an
Speaker 1: argument can be made that it doesn't address some sort
Speaker 1: of slow sinility or dementia in a president, rather a
Speaker 1: physical trauma that has been suffered. And I think they
Speaker 1: need to rethink it and rewrite it and make it clearer.
Speaker 1: And you know, part of the problem is that cabinet
Speaker 1: members are sometimes such suck ups and sycophants to the
Speaker 1: president that they don't want to take any proper action
Speaker 1: where that action is merited. So the threshold of getting
Speaker 1: the vice president as well as the cabinet involved and
Speaker 1: then sending it to Congress for approval, you know, that's
Speaker 1: a very high burden to sustain. And maybe it's be
Speaker 1: less onerous. I don't know. A great question, and Rick,
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Let's go to our next caller Claire
Speaker 1: joins us from Florida. Claire, thanks for joining the Sean
Speaker 1: Hennity Show.
Speaker 4: Why there, Good afternoon, listen. I've got I wrote this
Speaker 4: down so I remember what I was going to say.
Speaker 4: I think doctor Jill Biden to be prosecuted for allowing
Speaker 4: an elder debut abuse to happen on an old man
Speaker 4: who happens to be her husband and is now turning
Speaker 4: this into a danger the security of the United States.
Speaker 4: Me compass mendus is what is wrong with his head?
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot wrong with his head and would
Speaker 1: require you know, an entire medical dictionary, physician's desk reference
Speaker 1: to to go through it all. And that's a thick book.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I have said on a few occasions, doesn't it seem
Speaker 1: like a Biden family, particularly Jill or guilty of elder abuse.
Speaker 1: We're going to have more of your calls when we
Speaker 1: come back on. Greg Jarrett filling in for the Sean

Speaker 1: The Russia Hoax. It speaks for itself, but of course
Speaker 1: I was called a nutball conspiracy theorist, even though in
Speaker 1: the end I was right and what I wrote was accurate,
Speaker 1: including the sequel called witch Hunt. Those who got it wrong,
