Whoever operated the ben 14 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 6: was our president. This is not allowed. And they gave 15 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 6: a pardon to the Unselect Committee. After the Unselect commit 16 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 6: he realized that that whole situation was a hoax, that 17 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 6: it was all therefore, including Nancy Pelosi turning down security 18 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 6: and all you know turning down sology. 19 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 7: Got the. 20 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 8: Biden White House deployed an auto pen to a fix 21 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 8: President Biden's signature to pardons, prison commutations, executive orders, and 22 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 8: presidential proclamations. 23 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 3: The Oversight Project's research. 24 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 8: Has found that the Biden White House first deployed the 25 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 8: autopen to a fix President Biden's signature to a proclamation 26 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 8: on day five of his administration, and that there were 27 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 8: at least three different auto pen signatures in use throughout 28 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 8: rest President Biden's tenure. 29 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: In the White House. 30 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 8: In June twenty twenty two, the Biden White House began 31 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 8: deploying the autopen to sign clemency warrens and executive orders. 32 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 8: Auto pen use byrocketed from there. 33 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 9: Yeah whoa, we got we got a Yeah. 34 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 3: I'm not thanks, I'm not. 35 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 9: I'm yeah. 36 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 2: Get well. 37 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 7: I thought I was vindictive with an elephant's memory for 38 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 7: people who wronged me. 39 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 2: Trump is a breed apart. I mean, I forget about 40 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: all these things. Boy, he hasn't. They are going after 41 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 2: the autopin. 42 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 7: If you basically overturn every signature that was printed using 43 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 7: the autopin, meaning that Joe Biden himself did not sign 44 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 7: the documents that carried the president's seal of approval, that 45 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 7: means you undo everything he did. It is now clear 46 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 7: that not only did he not personally sign them, he 47 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 7: was not aware of them. 48 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: That makes it. 49 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 7: Somewhere in the electronic forgery. And really, this is such 50 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 7: a great analogy for the entirety of the Biden presidency. 51 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 7: The Establishment the machine put him up as the front. 52 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,119 Speaker 7: They needed a white male who could pull, who could 53 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 7: keep the base they'll handle that and could pull some 54 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 7: white labor. That was the plan. Well it starts falling apart, 55 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 7: as he started falling apart during the campaign. So you 56 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 7: go get a black woman that's going to stabilize it. 57 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 7: But that didn't help. So you engage in the virus release, 58 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 7: and yes, China would go to that much trouble to 59 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 7: unleash a virus to get rid of the president that 60 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 7: has caused China more problems than anybody since and including Nixon. 61 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 7: You have the George Floyd incident, which wasn't George Floyd, 62 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 7: it was going to be somebody else that was part 63 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 7: of establishment is or law and order is bad. Republicans 64 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 7: are bad blacks. 65 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: They're all coming to kill you. Vote for us. 66 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 7: And using Wuhan, you're then able to engage a lot 67 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 7: of the mail in voting, and the mail in voting 68 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 7: was the absolute must. You cannot beat a popular Trump 69 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 7: without the mail in voting because that's what allows you 70 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 7: to cheat. That's where the cheating occurs. Well, now Trump's 71 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 7: going back, as we will discuss, and taking efforts to 72 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 7: undo everything related to the auto pin and punish those 73 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 7: who would use it to circum effectively our Constitution and 74 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 7: our laws. Biden hadn't a clue. Well, this isn't a 75 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 7: harmless thing. When Lisa Cooke, the Fed governor who Trump 76 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 7: fired when her mortgage frauds with an S became clear, 77 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 7: there were those in the media and their guests who said, oh, 78 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 7: this is like cheating on your homework in third grade. Well, 79 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 7: I don't know about you, but cheitating on your homework 80 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 7: in third grade is wrong. Does the teacher say, well, 81 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 7: we're not really gonna worry about it because she's a 82 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 7: black girl. Well, the truth is, we know they probably 83 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 7: did say that. They probably said that over and over 84 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 7: and over again. But chitting on your homework should be punished, 85 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 7: and there should be a proportionate punishment for the crime 86 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 7: she committed. And yes, mortgage fraud is a crime. Mortgages 87 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 7: in Georgia. And where was the other one? Somewhere like 88 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 7: twelve states away. And it turns out now that Adam Shift, 89 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 7: they're very close to indicting him for the same crime, 90 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 7: Big Tish in New York, same crime. 91 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: You see what's happening. 92 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 7: Once one crime is investigated and exposed, you start seeing 93 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 7: the Democrats are living lives of crime. This is who 94 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 7: and what they are. This is indicative of their character 95 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 7: or lack thereof. These are the sorts of self dealing 96 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 7: people who do not follow the very laws they write 97 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 7: and demand you be. 98 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: Punished over, often wrongfully. 99 00:07:53,800 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 7: This whole concept receiving USAID funds for an NGO that 100 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 7: actually just filters it right back to them in the 101 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 7: state of Michigan where they've discovered how many is it 102 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 7: five billion dollars of self dealing laundered money through the government. 103 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 7: This is why they don't want you to shut down 104 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 7: the fraud. Not because they're in favor of fraud. They're 105 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 7: in favor of self dealing. They're the beneficiaries of it. 106 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 7: Michael Berry shaken from us far too soon for all 107 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 7: the screeching and hollering about President Trump. 108 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 2: And he's not nice. 109 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 7: Remember how nice we were told Joe Biden was. He 110 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 7: was so nice, about as nice as Ellen DeGeneres, where 111 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 7: her entire staff stepped forward and said, this is a 112 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 7: toxic environment. She's an abusive bitch. Remember when Taylor Swift 113 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 7: broke down into tears over her digging into her personal 114 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 7: life and said, please stop. Maybe not the best example. 115 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 7: Now you're going, oh oh, but she did die kind 116 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 7: of well a lotar Taylor as well or Taylor Swift 117 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 7: either me neither, but. 118 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 2: You get the point. 119 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 7: Remember when she pressured Mariah Carey to tell whether she 120 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 7: was pregnant or not, Mariah Carey had a breakdown. She 121 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 7: thought about suing Ellen DeGeneres over that because she blames 122 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 7: her miscarriage on Ellen degennerous I'm up on my People 123 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 7: news from twelve years ago. Hermon, I'm up on my People, 124 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 7: on my People magazine news. Man, I'm gonna tell you something. 125 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 7: As a kid, I'll never forget. As a kid, you 126 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 7: don't have the ability to put things into context. You 127 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 7: don't understand quite what the world means, and you take 128 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 7: things literally. And I can remember we'd be checking out 129 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 7: at the grocery store and all of those National Geographic 130 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,679 Speaker 7: and all the other crazy stuff. They're about eye level 131 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 7: for a kid, and you're reading it and you're going, 132 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 7: oh my god. And that was back before you realize 133 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 7: that most of what's printed is bunk. So you're reading 134 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 7: this stuff. Oh man, someone else. 135 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: Wow. 136 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 7: President Trump told reporters that the Biden auto pin is 137 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 7: one of the great scandals of our time, and he's right. 138 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 6: The box well, I think the auto pen is one 139 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 6: of the great scandals of our time. 140 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: The auto pen was our was. 141 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 6: Our president, or to put it in a different way, 142 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 6: whoever operated the auto pen was our president. It's not allowed. 143 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 6: It's just not allowed. And they gave a pardon to 144 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 6: the Unselect Committee after the Unselect Committee realized that that 145 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 6: whole situation was a hoax and it was all therefore 146 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 6: in putting Nancy Pelosi, turning down security and all, you know, 147 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 6: turning down salty, it all came out bad for them. 148 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 6: They burned everything, they got rid of everything. There's absolutely 149 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 6: nothing there. It's all gone. And that was based on 150 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 6: an auto pen. You know, they gave they gave those 151 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 6: members of Congress that were on the Select Committee, they 152 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 6: gave him pardon. What do you think so, I think 153 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 6: that I think it's a big. 154 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 3: I think it's a tremendous scandal. 155 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 8: What do you think of Medio would say, if you 156 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 8: part in your kids the last day in office, don't 157 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 8: you think of Medio and go well, I think it 158 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 8: would have been a big story. 159 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 3: Victoria would have been about I like this guy. 160 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 7: So what you're seeing is what we knew all along. 161 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 7: And Biden was weekend at Bernie's. Is this old man 162 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 7: they propped up and put in there to take naps 163 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 7: and sleep on the beach so that they could control 164 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 7: the country, so that they could do what they wanted 165 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 7: to do. And there was a price to be paid, 166 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 7: you know. They had to give millions of dollars to Hunter. 167 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 7: The Ukrainians gave him million, The mayor of Moscow gave 168 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 7: him millions, Chinese gave him millions. And then when when 169 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 7: people were on to the scent of that, there was 170 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 7: an article. I'll never forget it, Chad brought it in. 171 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: Look at this. 172 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 7: It was that Hunter Biden had rented an estate I 173 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 7: think it was in Sonoma or Napa or some idyllic 174 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 7: Bucolic place out in the country, and Hunter Biden just 175 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 7: wanted to be away from the public for a while 176 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 7: after all of his drugs, scandals, baby mamas, pregnancies and children. 177 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: He wouldn't acknowledge. 178 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 7: After everything had come out, the pistol waving, the Russian prostitutes, 179 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 7: the claiming the Russians were listening in, the scandals, the 180 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 7: millions of dollars in bribes, then he goes silent for 181 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 7: about two weeks. That's long enough, they'll have forgotten by 182 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 7: then and then we can rightfully pen an article. They 183 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 7: probably auto penned this as well. Hunter Biden is reinventing himself. 184 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 7: He's leaving public life and pursuing his first love art. 185 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 7: What is this, dude, Hitler. All of a sudden we 186 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 7: find out, Oh, he's actually an artist. Don't think about 187 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 7: anything after that. 188 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: An artist? What art has he ever produced? 189 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 7: So he rented this very very very expensive You can 190 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 7: buy a car cheaper than the monthly payment on this 191 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:15,599 Speaker 7: expensive retreat that he rents in California. The article is 192 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 7: out there and it's it's covered by everybody the way 193 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 7: it's supposed to. Oh, Hunter Biden is becoming an artist. Okay, 194 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 7: he's going to be an artist. And then a couple 195 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 7: of months later, because they didn't have a lot of 196 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 7: time to kill because they needed to, you know, run 197 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 7: these bribes. So there Joe might die any day, they're 198 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 7: demanding their money, you know, crack angle to smoke itself. 199 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 7: And so Hunter Biden, after about two months, we find out, Oh, 200 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 7: during his time and while while Threau was on Walden Pond, 201 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 7: he during that time would write or in this case, 202 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 7: paint his masterpiece yes, his artistry has seen its its 203 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 7: full legs. 204 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: And as it turns out, they're going to have a gallery. 205 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 2: Oh my god, you won't believe this. 206 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 7: As luck would have it, Hunter's greatest skill is not 207 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 7: bunking his dead brother's wife while his dead brother is dying, 208 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 7: or getting her addicted to crack, or smoking crack himself 209 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 7: and riding out all his teeth, or making babies. 210 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: No, it turns out his great skill is he's an artist. Oh, yes, 211 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 2: he's an artist. 212 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 7: And then what they do They sold the art. Turns 213 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 7: out he's the hottest artist on the planet. He's getting 214 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 7: five hundred thousand to a million dollars per finger painting. Yes, 215 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 7: it looks like it took him three or whoever did 216 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 7: it three minutes to do it. Can you imagine the 217 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 7: lowly schlub whose job it was honeywood you today? 218 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 2: Oh, he won't believe this. 219 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 7: They've got a money laundering scheme and they're running millions 220 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 7: of dollars to Hunter to keep him quiet because otherwise 221 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 7: he's gonna expose the whole deal. And they're selling his art. 222 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 7: Apparently people just can't get enough of his art. Million 223 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 7: dollars a pop. What's wrong with that. Well, I'm the 224 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 7: one having to do the fingerpainting, but I didn't know 225 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 7: you were an urse. 226 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 2: I'm not, I'm not. 227 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 7: And that is where we are in this whole darned affair. 228 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 7: That is the sad, scandalous, disgusting part of all this. 229 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 7: So Hunter is taking bribes from Ukraine, China, the mayor 230 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 7: of Moscow. You've got cocaine found in the White House, 231 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 7: but we can't figure out who's it would be. 232 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? 233 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 7: The safest place on the planet, more security, more cameras 234 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 7: than anywhere on the planet, and you can't figure out 235 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 7: after you've found the coke who it belongs to. Well, 236 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 7: let's see the gardener. No, not the gardener, the cook. No, 237 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 7: it was in It's like a game of clue. 238 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 9: It was in the ADUs in here listening to Michael Berry. 239 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 7: A little longer cliff than we normally place certain meal 240 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 7: in the morning show. But next you will hear from 241 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 7: Theodore Wold, former Idaho solicitor general. 242 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: Just so you know, the solicitor general. I'll tell that later. Yeah. Well, 243 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: Ted Cruz was a solicitor General of Texas. Was the 244 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 2: first public position he held. 245 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 7: The Attorney General is the individual who runs basically the 246 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 7: justice department for a state. In the state of Texas, 247 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 7: that is obviously currently Ken Paxton, and it has been 248 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 7: a launching pad to governor or in the case of 249 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:01,239 Speaker 7: John Cornyn, Senator. But it's an incredibly importan job, incredibly 250 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 7: important job. That is the person who handles the lawyers 251 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 7: for the state within the state. The attorney general, an 252 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 7: elected position, appoints as part of his team the solicitor general. 253 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: A solicitor as in no solicitors. 254 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 7: No soliciting is asking people at their door for money 255 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 7: for your you know, to buy your world's greatest chocolate 256 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 7: or whatever else you're soliciting. You can solicit sex. That's 257 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 7: the legal charge for asking a prostitute. I guess what 258 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 7: twenty bucks will get you. I don't know what the 259 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 7: term is. But the solicitor general is the individual who 260 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 7: represents the state in cases Texas versus So and So 261 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 7: before the Supreme Court. You can imagine how good Ted 262 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 7: Cruz would be at that. Obviously, so Theodore Wold was 263 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 7: the solicitor general for the state of Idaho, and he 264 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 7: was the US Assistant Attorney General. He's currently at the 265 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 7: Heritage Foundation a conservative think tank. He's a visiting fellow 266 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 7: for Law and Technology, and in June he spoke this 267 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 7: happens to be an area of expertise for him before 268 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 7: the Senate Majority Committee about the Biden administration's use of 269 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 7: the auto pin. Now you're going to need to pay 270 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 7: close attention to understand the full import of what he's saying, 271 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 7: but it's worth it. 272 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 8: The US Constitution vests executive power in a single person, 273 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 8: the President. At the founding, the president exercised the executive 274 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 8: power through only a small group of trusted advisors and personnel. 275 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 8: In fact, President Washington had a four member cabinet. Today, 276 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 8: the president directs a leviathan executive branch with fifteen cabinet 277 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 8: departments and at least four million full time executive branch employees. 278 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 8: The executive branch proliferation has a single source of democratic 279 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 8: legitimacy that, by order of the US Constitution's Article two, 280 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 8: the President is both elected by the American people and 281 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 8: vested with the executive power all of it. Traditionally, the 282 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 8: president takes positive actions and authenticates those actions through his signature. 283 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 8: His signature is required for the most significant actions he 284 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 8: may undertake. To sign an executive order, to take any 285 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 8: action invested in him by the Constitution, as in granting 286 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 8: a pardon, and to take the most important action of all, 287 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 8: to sign a bill into law. In all these cases, 288 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 8: the president's signature is itself the protection of democratic principle. 289 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 8: When the president signs, he communicates his assent and endorsement 290 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 8: of the action he takes. The autopen is a device 291 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 8: that signs the president's signature to a document. The Oversight Project, 292 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 8: of which I am a board member, has discovered that 293 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 8: the Biden White House deployed an autopen to affix President 294 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 8: Biden's signature to pardons, prison commutations, executive orders, and presidential proclamations. 295 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 3: The Oversight Project's research has that. 296 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 8: The Biden White House first deployed the autopen to a 297 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 8: fixed President Biden's signature to a proclamation on day five 298 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 8: of his administration, and that there were at least three 299 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 8: different autopen signatures in use throughout rest President Biden's tenure 300 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 8: in the White House. In June twenty twenty two, the 301 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 8: Biden White House began deploying the autopen to sign clemency 302 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 8: warrants and executive orders. Autopen used skyrocketed from there, we 303 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 8: found that of the fifty one clemency warrants issued during 304 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 8: the Biden presidency, over half thirty two in total, were 305 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 8: signed with an autopen, and these include some of the 306 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 8: most controversial acts of clemency of the Biden presidency, including 307 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 8: death row commutations and the pre preemptive pardons of members 308 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 8: of the Biden family, doctor Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milly, 309 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 8: and more, that were issued in the final days of 310 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 8: the Biden presidency. 311 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 3: We reviewed President Biden's schedule in. 312 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 8: His publicly available media and were unable to find any 313 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 8: record of President Biden's personally approving these actions, such as 314 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 8: a statement issued by the President himself to reporters. In addition, 315 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 8: we found that the Biden White House used the autopen 316 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 8: to a fix presidents of Biden's signature to clemency warrants 317 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 8: and executive orders while the president. 318 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,440 Speaker 3: Himself was in Washington, d c. 319 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 8: For at least some of that day and thus was 320 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 8: presumably available to sign important executive actions. 321 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 3: Finally, we found. 322 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 8: Multiple days where President Biden we signed a bill into law, 323 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 8: but used an autopen to issue an executive order or 324 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,120 Speaker 8: for other important executive actions. 325 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 3: The Biden White House is widespread. 326 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 8: Use of an autopen to affix President Biden's signatures to 327 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 8: documents that exercise executive powers belonging solely to the president 328 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 8: poses significant constitutional, legal, and practical considerations. Once the president's 329 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 8: signature is copied and loaded into the autopin the machine 330 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,199 Speaker 8: can signed documents as the president himself. Would to be 331 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:50,239 Speaker 8: blunt by using the autopen, anyone can sign documents as 332 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 8: the president himself. Now, to be clear, I'm not here 333 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 8: today to suggest that the autopen is bad. It's just technology. 334 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 8: I'm here today because of questions concerning president byiaen capacity 335 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 8: and whether the autopen was used to usurp presidential power 336 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 8: or to conceal the president's decline. As the sitting president's 337 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 8: mental acuity declined, potentially to the point of incapacitation, his 338 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 8: administration's expansion of the powers of the presidency raises more 339 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 8: questions than answers. Any investigation if this matter should focus 340 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 8: not only on whether President Biden directed or authorized subordinate 341 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 8: staff to take action in certain instances, but whether he 342 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 8: had the capacity to do so at all. The twenty 343 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 8: fifth Amendment lays out clear procedures for what to do 344 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 8: when the president is incapacitated. It was carefully drafted and 345 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 8: informed by our nation's history. The Biden administration ignored it 346 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 8: all to aggrandize executive power and push the country further 347 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 8: in their preferred ideological direction. It is our obligation at 348 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 8: this point to get to the bottom of these issues 349 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 8: and to ask the important question as to whether or 350 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 8: not the autopen and other devices were used to cover 351 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 8: and ob secure President Biden's mental decline, undermining our national 352 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 8: security and also the constitution. 353 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 7: It is staggering. It's absolutely staggering. You've got the autopin 354 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 7: serving as the president, and whoever's running the autopin is 355 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 7: running the country. 356 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 2: Remember we talked about this. 357 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 7: If Biden's not writing what's on the teleprompter that he's reading, 358 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 7: then the real president is whoever is loading the teleprompter. 359 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 7: Even the autopin is thinking to itself, wait, I'm doing 360 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 7: all the work here. 361 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 4: Autopen chronicles, daily log, dear diary. The life of an 362 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 4: autopen has more ups and downs than calligraphy. 363 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 2: What a run. 364 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 4: It was, commuting drug dealers, pardoning those low Lifehouse Committee members. 365 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 2: That investigated January sixth. Hell, I commuted most of the 366 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 2: Biden family. 367 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 4: I did so many great things, while geriatric Joe just 368 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 4: napped his way through a Presidents taking all the credit. 369 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 4: You know how many times I had to pin a 370 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 4: paper that was covered in jeweled Here I go again, 371 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 4: and he might ink all smeared over sleeping Joe Biden. 372 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 4: I can do anything Joe Biden can do. I have 373 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 4: a sleep mode. It just makes me so angry that 374 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 4: I don't get any of the credit. People thought Joe 375 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 4: Biden was the Wizard of Oz or something. 376 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 10: No, Joe was simply Oscar Diggs. 377 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 3: The Michael Barry Show, fu. 378 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 2: Lach Holm and Dante. 379 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 7: At her State of the County speech, says we need 380 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 7: another property tax hike. Then she admits that she can't 381 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 7: afford property taxes because she doesn't own a home, despite 382 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 7: making over one hundred and ninety thousand dollars a year. Oh, 383 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 7: by the way, her husband, that little what did John 384 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 7: Whitmeer call him? He apparently makes good money. He ain't 385 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 7: much for looks weighs about eighty seven pounds, sopping wet, 386 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 7: skinny pasty dude, looks like he's in a Phineas and 387 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 7: ferb episode. But he makes good money. She makes a 388 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 7: buck ninety on the books. That's what she declares, all 389 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 7: the while she can't afford to own a home because 390 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 7: she can't afford property taxes. You see what happens here. 391 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 7: Rodney writes this speech, and he says, Oh, the natives 392 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 7: are restless, so real upset about property taxes. So what 393 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 7: I want you to do is say property taxes are 394 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 7: so high, and we also need to raise them. She 395 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 7: winds about the two hundred million dollar deficit resulting in 396 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 7: less money forbles Noe, the sheriff's deputy is not a 397 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 7: chance streets, roads, infrastructure. Nah, the library, Ah, yes, we 398 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 7: bring out the library, the library and the children. Oh yes, 399 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 7: it's always for the children. She didn't bring out the children. 400 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 7: I'm just saying that may be the next trick. This 401 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 7: all comes days after they voted to spend nearly five 402 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 7: hundred thousand dollars to sponsor the Gay Softball World Series. 403 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 7: But they're out of money. Here she is she can't 404 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 7: afford property taxes. 405 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 5: The county is facing a budget deficit. Why not go 406 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 5: to the voters with a proposal to fund everything? So 407 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 5: we are at a two hundred million dollar deficit, is 408 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 5: not normal? Enormous amount of money and I'll talk about 409 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 5: that more with Steve later. 410 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 3: But so what happened is one of. 411 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,840 Speaker 5: My colleagues and I we proposed in twenty twenty four 412 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 5: August Twe twenty four or September twenty four, August Tree 413 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 5: twenty five. We knew that the we our revenue is 414 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 5: decreasing more and more and more as our population is increasing, 415 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 5: so we're gonna have to start looking at cuts. And 416 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 5: so we said, well, why don't we go to the 417 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 5: voters and see if they would like to keep those 418 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 5: services basic services. We could not get the support of 419 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,439 Speaker 5: the rest of our colleagues, so I knew that I 420 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 5: didn't have the support to ask for us to make 421 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 5: up those cuts. And if you guys remember the first 422 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 5: chart on the law enforcement investment increases. Before I took office, 423 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 5: it was larger overall because they had more money. 424 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 3: The tax rate was. 425 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 5: Always the same under my predecessor. We've had to decrease 426 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 5: the tax rate. And I know taxes are high, trust 427 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 5: me don't. I so can't afford property taxes. 428 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 3: I don't own a home. I rent an apartment. 429 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 5: But a lot of it has to do with the 430 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 5: school districts in anyway, that's another conversation. 431 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 2: Wait, what. 432 00:27:54,080 --> 00:28:00,439 Speaker 7: Rewind those last thirty seconds?
