1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:01,600 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz ben Ferguson with you, 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 2: Senator for about forty five minutes tonight, you and I 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: are doing this At twelve thirty am, there was a 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 2: moment in this country where the media, the White House, 6 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 2: press Corps, Democrats, and Republicans were wondering if Joe Biden 7 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 2: was going to step down as President of the United 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: States of America after the Special Council report called him 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: quote an elderly man with a poor memory who was 10 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: so deteriorated with his cognitive decline they couldn't charge him 11 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,800 Speaker 2: with crimes even if they wanted to. 12 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 3: Your reaction, well, Today the US Department of Justice released 13 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: a formal report laying out the evidence that the sitting 14 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 3: president of the United States is not competent to stand trial. 15 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 3: That is extraordinary. Look, today was a big news day. 16 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 3: Today the Senate capitulated on securing the border and passed 17 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 3: or moved forward with a Ukraine funding bill. Today, the 18 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 3: US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Colorado case 19 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 3: about whether Donald Trump should be thrown off the ballot 20 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 3: and what does it say that both of those have 21 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: been relegated to the b and c story in every 22 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: news broadcast in America. Well, that's because what broke later 23 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 3: today was so damn big. Listen, You and I and 24 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 3: kind of anyone with eyes and common sense have been 25 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: observing for a long time that Joe Biden's cognitive decline 26 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 3: is massive. But it's easy for some observers to dismiss 27 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 3: that and say, you know, these guys are biased, they're partisans, 28 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: they don't like Biden, So what they're saying is not true. 29 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 3: In this instance, the people speaking are the Biden Department 30 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 3: of Justice and not any department of justice. This is 31 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: a Department of Justice that has proven itself the most 32 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 3: politicized and partisan department of justice in history. And they 33 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 3: have argued so, for example, I'm going to read you 34 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 3: a paragraph from the report. In his interview with our office, 35 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 3: mister Biden's memory was worse. He did not remember when 36 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 3: he was vice president, forgetting on the first day of 37 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 3: the interview when his term ended, quote if it was 38 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: twenty thirteen, when did I stop being vice president? And 39 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 3: forgetting on the second day of the interview when his 40 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: term began quote in two thousand and nine? Am I 41 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 3: still vice president? He did not remember even within several 42 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 3: years when his son Bo died and his memory appeared hazy. 43 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: When describing the Afghanistan debate that was once so important 44 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: to him, among other things, he mistakenly said he quote 45 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 3: had a real difference of opinion with General Carl Aitkinberry, 46 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 3: when in fact Aitkinberry was an ally whom mister Biden 47 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 3: cited approvingly in his thanksgiving memo to President Obama. All 48 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 3: of that was authored by the Biden Department of Justice. 49 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: And when they are describing the sitting president as a 50 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 3: well meaning elderly man with a poor memory, the natural 51 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: question for anyone to say is, holy crap. If he's 52 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 3: not competent to stand trial, why is he the commander 53 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: in chief with the authority to send our sons and 54 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: daughters into harm's way? Why does he have access to 55 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: the nuclear codes? Understand the description here They say, you 56 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: couldn't charge him with a crime because he's not aware 57 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: of enough to have the requisite mental intent. And yet 58 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: Joe Biden tonight, if he's so desired, could literally exterminate 59 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 3: humanity from the face of the planet as commander in 60 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,559 Speaker 3: chief if he gave the order launch the nuclear weapons now, 61 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 3: unless the military refused to obey the commander in chief. 62 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: Joe Biden could exterminate every life on this planet. And 63 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: if he's not mentally competent to stand trial, that is terrifying. 64 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: The other party. 65 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: And I mentioned this to the beginning, and I want 66 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: to play this for you on Fox. Kaylee mckin any 67 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 2: former White House Press secretary came out and talked about 68 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 2: the shock in Washington, talked about the shock of the 69 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: President trying to respond in an angry way to this 70 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 2: report that had come out holding this impromptu press conference. 71 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 4: Listen to this, an unmitigated disaster play out before our 72 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 4: very eyes. We just watched a wounded political animal hobble 73 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 4: to a podium and react with defensiveness, with anger. And 74 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: you know it's bad, Jesse. When you have the White 75 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 4: House Press Corps, they are essentially an extension of the 76 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 4: Joe Biden press and communications team. When they are shouting 77 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 4: at him asking repeatedly, are you going to step aside, 78 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 4: mister President? The CNN correspondent asking that when NBC, NBC, 79 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 4: of all places, writes a headline a nightmare Special Council 80 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 4: report triggers panic among Democrats. And when you have a 81 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 4: president who for forty five minutes, announces a press conference 82 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 4: with no topic, giving the world forty five minutes to 83 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 4: speculate is he stepping aside? What would life be like 84 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: under a president Kamala Harris? For forty five minutes, the 85 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 4: nation got to feel that pan and I don't think 86 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 4: they will forget it come November. 87 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: We were, by the way, Senator, this was real. 88 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 2: I was in Fox News in New York City doing 89 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: a hit when all this broke and my phone exploded. 90 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: Everyone in the building's phone was exploding, with people asking 91 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 2: the question, Oh, my gosh, is Joe Biden about to 92 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: say he's stepping down or at the bare minimum, say 93 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: I am no longer running for president of United States America. 94 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: That was real, and the entire world was thinking this, 95 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: including our adversaries. 96 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, our adversaries, our allies, the Democrat Party. Look, we 97 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 3: have talked about at length how Democrats and their supplicant 98 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 3: cheerleaders in the media were getting cold feet on Joe Biden, 99 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: and I had previously said on this podcast that I 100 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 3: thought the odds were about fifty to fifty that Democrats 101 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 3: at the convention this coming summer would pull the cord 102 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: on Joe Biden, yank him out and replace him with 103 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: Michelle Obama. I have to say, after today, I'm going 104 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 3: to adjust those odds from fifty to fifty to about 105 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 3: sixty five thirty five. I think they have increased substantially. 106 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 3: I think it is now significantly more likely than not 107 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: that Democrats will not have Joe Biden on the ballot. 108 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 3: And listen, the problem is, if you're a Democrat hack in, 109 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: you're spinning. How do you spin this away? They're used 110 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,119 Speaker 3: to saying, oh, those are just partisans. Those are their 111 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 3: favorite phrase, maga republicans. Well, the one thing we know 112 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: is the Biden Department of Justice. They are not maga Republicans. 113 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 3: And this is his own Department of Justice saying he 114 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: has severely diminished metal faculties. And then I got to 115 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: tell you, Ben, he made it worse. He made it 116 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: worse by an For forty five minutes, nobody knew what 117 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 3: the press conference was gonna be, and everyone was like, 118 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 3: oh my god, we're gonna have a president Kamala Harris, 119 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: like that was really frightening. But then when he got 120 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: up there, he did not perform well. And I think 121 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 3: that only increased the concerns and so we ought to 122 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: listen to listen to a portion of his press conference 123 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 3: that that occurred on Thursday night. 124 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 2: And let's point this out too, the media listened to 125 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: them in the background. Joe Biden's president has never had 126 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 2: to deal with the media that was this in his face. 127 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: I would even argue this hostile to him. They've always 128 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: given him softball pitches. Something changed in the media tonight 129 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: and you could hear it and watch it in real time. 130 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: And before I play this audio for you, I want 131 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 2: to talk to you real quick about Blackout Coffee.

I'm in President. I 162 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 5: put this country back on his feet. I don't need 163 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 5: his recommendation. It's totally is. 164 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 7: Your memory, and can you continue as president? 165 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 5: My memory is so bad, I let you speak. That's 166 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 5: that's that's what. 167 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 6: Your memory has gotten worse. 168 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 5: Oh look, my memory is not good. My memory is fine. 169 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 5: My memory. Take a look at what I've done since 170 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 5: I become president. Not even thought I could pass any 171 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 5: of the things I got passed. How'd that happen? You know? 172 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 5: I guess I just forgot what was going on. 173 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 6: It's a present. 174 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 5: Your age. 175 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 6: How are you going to persuade? I mean, do you 176 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 6: hear that this report is only going to fuel further. 177 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 5: Concerned only by some. 178 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 8: Of you want criminal liability today? 179 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 4: Do you take responsibility for me seeing careless with classified material? 180 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 5: I take responsibility for not having seen exactly what my 181 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 5: staff was doing. Goes in in twenty out, things that 182 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 5: appeared in my garage, things that came out of my home, 183 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 5: things that we were moved, not by me but my staff, 184 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 5: but my staff. 185 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 8: Mister President, for months, when you were asked about your age, 186 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 8: you would respond with the words watch me, won't any America? 187 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 6: Can? 188 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: People have been watching and they. 189 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 6: Have expressed concerns about your age. 190 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 5: That is your judgment. That is your judgment. That is 191 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 5: not the judgment of the press. 192 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 6: They expressed concerns about your mental acuity. 193 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: They say that you are too old, mister president. 194 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 8: In December, you told me that you believe there are 195 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 8: many other Democrats who could defeat Donald Trump. 196 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 6: So why does it. 197 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 5: Have to be you? Now? What is your answer? I 198 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 5: was a qualified person in this country be president of 199 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 5: the United States and finished the job I started. 200 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 6: Do you believe. 201 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 5: That I did not share classified information. I did not 202 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 5: share it with my ghostriend. I did not guarantee you 203 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 5: did not. Well, no, he did not say that. He 204 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: did not say that. Let me answer you a question. 205 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 5: The fact of the matter is what I didn't want 206 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 5: repeat it. I didn't want him to not and I 207 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 5: didn't read it to him. Was I had written a 208 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 5: long memorandum to President Obama why we should not be 209 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 5: in Afghanistan, and I was multiple pages, and so what 210 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 5: I was referring to I said classified it. I should 211 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 5: have said it was should be private because it was 212 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 5: a contact between the president and the Vice president as 213 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 5: to what was going on. That's what it is referring to. 214 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 5: It was not classified information in that document. That was 215 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 5: not classic. 216 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 6: When you look back at this incident, is there anything 217 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 6: you would do differently now? And do you think that 218 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 6: a special prosecutor should have been appointed in the first 219 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 6: place in both of these cases. 220 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 5: First of all, what I would have done is oversee 221 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 5: the transfer of the material that was in my office 222 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 5: in my offices, I should have done that, if I 223 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 5: go back on, I didn't have the responsibility that that 224 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 5: was my staff was supposed to do that, and they 225 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 5: referenced that in the report, and my staff did not 226 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 5: do it in the way that. For example, I didn't 227 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 5: know how half the boxes got in my garage until 228 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 5: I found out staff gathered them up, put them together, 229 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 5: and took them to the garage. In my home, and 230 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 5: all the stuff that was in my home was in 231 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 5: filing cabinets that were either locked or able to be locked. 232 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 5: It was in my house. It wasn't out in like 233 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 5: in mar A Lago, in a public place where and 234 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 5: none of it was high classified, didn't have any of 235 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 5: that red stuff on it, you know what I mean, 236 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 5: around the corners, none of that. And so I wish 237 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 5: I had paid more attention to how the documents were 238 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 5: being moved and where I thought they would being moved 239 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 5: to the archives. I thought all of us being moved. 240 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 5: That's what I thought. Now, what was the last part 241 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 5: of your question? 242 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 6: Whether a special council should have been appointed in this 243 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 6: case and in the case of your rival President. 244 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 5: I think a special council should have been appointed. And 245 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 5: the reason I think a special council should have been 246 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 5: appointed is because I he did not want to be 247 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 5: in a position that they looked at Trump and weren't 248 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 5: going to look at me, just like they looked at 249 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 5: the Vice president. And the fact is they made a 250 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 5: firm conclusion I did not break the law. Period. Thank 251 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 5: you all, very. 252 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: Randy, Senator. 253 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: You hear the president there, and he lied, by the way, 254 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: he lied. He lied on tape. By the way, after 255 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: he was out of the vice presidency, he's saying to 256 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: his autobiographer, quote, the classified documents are in the basement. 257 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: He knew this. And then he's acting like he's telling 258 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: the truth. 259 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 2: And there's those documents in his garage next to his 260 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 2: corvette that he completely didn't even talk about there. 261 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, look, there is so much in that press 262 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: conference that is revealing. Number One, you're right, the press 263 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: has turned on him in his entire presidency. Joe Biden 264 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 3: has never had a press conference remotely like that. They 265 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: are suddenly asking the questions that millions of Americans have 266 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 3: been asking since the day Biden became president and before that, 267 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 3: and see the press turn on him is a big deal, 268 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 3: I promise you. After this press conference, the White House 269 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 3: team was horrified. They were terrified. They were going, oh crap, 270 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: this has gone really, really badly, and these questions are 271 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: not going away. And you know, he stated there that 272 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 3: the Special Council concluded he did not violate the law. 273 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 3: That is not remotely what the Biden Justice Department concluded. 274 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: Let me read to the beginning of the report, the 275 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 3: executive summary. It begins with, quote, we conclude that no 276 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: criminal charges are warranted in this matter. We would reach 277 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 3: the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did 278 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,479 Speaker 3: not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president. Our investigation 279 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified 280 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 3: materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen. 281 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 3: A note he said in that interview, I did not 282 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: disclose him well. In the second paragraph of the report, 283 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 3: it says, our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully 284 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 3: retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency, when 285 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 3: he was a private citizens. These materials included I'm still 286 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 3: reading from the report. These materials included one marked classified 287 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 3: documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and two 288 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: notebooks containing mister Biden's handwritten entries about issues of national 289 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 3: security and foreign policy, implicating sensitive intelligence sources and methods. 290 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 3: By the way, sources and methods. What that means is 291 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 3: this was sensitive enough that disclosing this could endanger the 292 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 3: lives of covert operatives. That when you're disclosing sources and methods, 293 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 3: it means you can reveal the identity of a spy, 294 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 3: or it means you can reveal that, say, we have 295 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 3: somebody's phone tap or with the ability to engage in surveillance. 296 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 3: And so if you're revealing sources and methods, that's a 297 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 3: big let me finish reading. FBI agents recover these materials 298 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 3: from the garage, offices and basement den in mister Biden's Wilmington, 299 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 3: Delaware home. However, for the reasons summarized below, we conclude 300 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: that the evidence does not establish mister Biden's guilt beyond 301 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 3: a reasonable doubt. Prosecution of mister Biden is also unwarded 302 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 3: based on our consideration of the aggravating and mitigating factors 303 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 3: set forth in the Department of Justices Principles of Federal Prosecution. 304 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 3: For these reasons, we decline prosecution of mister Biden. Now, 305 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 3: what are the reasons they say don't prosecute him. That 306 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 3: one of the key reasons they rely on front and 307 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 3: center is they say he's too damn old and can't 308 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 3: remember anything, and so therefore you could not prosecute him. 309 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 3: But I'm going to read from just a couple of 310 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 3: pages later. This is again from the report. Mister Biden 311 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 3: wrote his twenty seven and twenty seventeen memoirs with the 312 00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 3: help of a ghostwriter. In a recorded conversation with his 313 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 3: ghostwriter in February twenty seventeen, about a month after he 314 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 3: left office, mister Biden said, while referencing his two thousand 315 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 3: and nine Thanksgiving memo, that he had quote just found 316 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 3: all the classified stuff downstairs, so he expressed an awareness 317 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 3: that it was classified materials. And by the way, they 318 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 3: have this because they have the tape. So he's literally 319 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 3: on tape admitting it. And it continues in the next paragraph. 320 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 3: Evidence supports the inference that Winister Biden said in twenty 321 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 3: seventeen that he had quote just found all the classified 322 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 3: stuff downstairs in Virginia. He was referring to the same 323 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 3: marked classified documents about Afghanistan that FBI agents found in 324 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 3: twenty twenty two in his Delaware garage. Now, notice they 325 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 3: say marked classified documents. He said, well, gosh, I didn't 326 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 3: know it was classified. If it's marked, it has its 327 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 3: stamped right off. But they go on to say none. Nonetheless, 328 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 3: we do not believe this evidence is sufficient, as jurors 329 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 3: would likely found reasonable doubt for one of several reasons. 330 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 3: And they go on to say several defenses are likely 331 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 3: to create reasonable doubt. For example, mister Biden could have 332 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 3: found the classified Afghanistan documents at his Virginia home in 333 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 3: twenty seventeen and then forgotten about them soon after. So 334 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 3: he's just so old and senile that he's like, oh, 335 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 3: classified documents? 336 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 5: What what? 337 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm sorry? 338 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 3: What was I talking about? I mean, that's reason number one. 339 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 3: While they don't prosecute him, they go on to say 340 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 3: another viable defense, Another viable defense is that mister Biden 341 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 3: might not have retained the classified Afghanistan documents in his 342 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 3: Virginia home at all, they might have been stored by 343 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 3: mistaken without his knowledge. But then they say, given mister 344 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 3: Biden's limited precision and recalled during his interviews with his 345 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 3: ghostwriter and with our office, so notice the ghostwriters back 346 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 3: in twenty seventeen and with our offices this past year, 347 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 3: jurors may hesitate to place too much evidentiary weight on 348 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: a single eight word utterance to his ghostwriter about finding 349 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 3: classified documents in Virginia in the absence of other more 350 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 3: direct evidence. And they go on to say, we have 351 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: also considered that at trial, mister Biden would likely present 352 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 3: himself to a jury as he did during our interview 353 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 3: of him, as a sympathetic, well meaning elderly man with 354 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 3: a poor memory. Based on our direct interactions with and 355 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 3: observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors 356 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 3: will want to identify reasonable doubt it would be difficult 357 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 3: to convince a jury that they could convict him, by then, 358 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 3: a former president well into his eighties, of a serious 359 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,679 Speaker 3: felony that requires a mental state of wilfulness. Now stop 360 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 3: and think this is the Department of Justice saying you 361 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 3: couldn't convince a jury he is capable of a mental 362 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 3: state of wilfulness. That's a big damn deal. 363 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: Real quick. 364 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about something that's really important 365 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 2: to us here at Verdict.

As Israel is defending 370 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: herself from terraces on every side. The toll on the 371 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: Israeli people is staggering in his massive hundreds of thousands 372 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 2: of Israelis have been forced from their homes.

All Right, 391 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 2: I have like fifteen different questions and I want to 392 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: go semi rapid fire with you, Senators. So when this 393 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 2: first came out and I read what you just read 394 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 2: to the audience, the first thing I thought was, Yes, 395 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 2: this is damning of the President United States of America. 396 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 2: But this also lays a massive pretense down that Joe 397 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 2: Biden cannot be held accountable for any of his crimes. 398 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 2: He's committed, any of the money that's come in from China, Russia, Ukraine, 399 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 2: any of the money laundering with a Biden crime family 400 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 2: and all these lcs, and it couldn't be held accountable 401 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 2: for any of the suspicious activity reports because they just 402 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 2: gave the precedent that they couldn't hold them account for this. So, 403 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 2: in a weird way, is this the Justice Department basically saying, look, 404 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: we know what's coming down the shoot, we know how 405 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 2: bad it is. We we know what's going to happen 406 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 2: with impeachment, we know what's happened with the Republican investigations. 407 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 2: So we're gonna give him an out right now to 408 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 2: spare him. Is that a real possibility? 409 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 3: Listen, this is a basis if someone's not competent to 410 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 3: stand trial. This is a basis that can that can 411 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 3: keep him prevent him from liability for any criminal offense. 412 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 3: That is absolutely a basis that's not limited to classified documents. 413 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: And to be fair, they didn't find he is the 414 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 3: standard of being incompetent to stand trial is an exceptionally 415 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 3: high standard. What they said is he's so old and 416 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 3: senile that you couldn't convince a juror that he was 417 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 3: capable of acting willfully, that you couldn't prove that he 418 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 3: had the men'sraa, the intent to commit a crime. Well, 419 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 3: if that's true, that's as true about documents as it 420 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 3: is about anything else. But if that is true, he 421 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 3: shouldn't be in the Oval office with his finger on 422 00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 3: the button. 423 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: Number two. This concerned me even more. 424 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: Biden's lawyers apparently wrote to the special prosecutor her asking 425 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: that he revised descriptions of the president's memory, notable given 426 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 2: voter concerns about his mental capacity. Now, when I read that, 427 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: I thought, Okay, this is a full blown cover up 428 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: on a level that we've never seen from the White House, 429 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 2: including Watergate, by a president's staff, by the president's lawyers 430 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: saying to the special counsel, you got to take out 431 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 2: all the bad stuff here because he's running for re election. 432 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: How the hell is that not a massive story of 433 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: cover up on its own. 434 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, this is damage control, and it's bad damage control, 435 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 3: and it's out in the open, and they got caught, 436 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 3: and it shows these guys are terrified. They understand that 437 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 3: if Joe Biden is the Democrat nominee in November, there 438 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 3: are going to be two things that you're going to 439 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 3: see on teas the ads all over America. Number One, 440 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 3: and we talked about this on a podcast last week. 441 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 3: The image of illegal aliens walking out of jail in 442 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 3: New York City after having beaten up two New York 443 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 3: police officers being released with no bail and then flipping 444 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 3: the bird with both hands at the American people. That image, 445 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 3: if Republicans are even marginally competent, will be played to 446 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 3: the American people millions of times. And secondly, the quote 447 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 3: that he is a sympathetic elderly man with an exceptionally 448 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,199 Speaker 3: poor memory, that from the Biden Department of Justice, that 449 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 3: will be quoted over and over again. That he could 450 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 3: not remember when he was vice president. That is an 451 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 3: enormous problem, and so his lawyers are desperately trying to 452 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 3: engage in damage control, saying, please, don't say to the 453 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 3: American people what is obvious for anyone who's watching to see. 454 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 2: Let's talk about the politics now of this, because you 455 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 2: and I witnessed it for the first time in his way, 456 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 2: we played it for everybody listening. The White House Press 457 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 2: Corps turning on him, this is something he's never experienced. 458 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 2: In fact, I want to play for you just an 459 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 2: example of how quick CNN turned on him. You would 460 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 2: have thought they were talking about Donald Trump, except they 461 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 2: were talking about Joe Biden. 462 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: Take a listen to this from CNN. 463 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 8: Ultimately, what Robert Hurst says in this report is essentially 464 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 8: the technical elements of a crime. It appears Robert Hurst saying, 465 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 8: we're met. But what he ends up doing is looking 466 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 8: at the soft factors, and you're allowed to do that. 467 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 8: You have to do that as a prosecutor. And he 468 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 8: takes into consideration things like what he says, and maybe 469 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 8: this is overstated, maybe not on leave that to the 470 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 8: political folks, but he says, essentially, Joe Biden would have 471 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 8: created a sympathetic picture in front of a jury. 472 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 3: He had memory. 473 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 8: Issues, he had age issues, and that goes into did 474 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 8: he was he able to form the mental intent here? 475 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: That's CNN and they weren't done there. They also then 476 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 2: went on to say that Joe Biden was an essence 477 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 2: a liar at his press conference. 478 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 8: Here's this That is what blew my mind about Joe 479 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 8: Biden's statement SEP. Two major things he just outright contradicts 480 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 8: or is contradicted by. However you look at this this report, 481 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 8: there are two things he said that are completely the 482 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 8: opposite of what Robert Hurr found. And who do you 483 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 8: believe is up to I guess the individual consumer. First, 484 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 8: Joe Biden says, I did not act wilfully. Wilfully just 485 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 8: means voluntarily intentionally. Well, the second sentence of this whole 486 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 8: summary says President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials. 487 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 8: The facts in here show it was wilful. He knew, 488 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 8: he talked about it. And the second thing he says 489 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,200 Speaker 8: is I did not disclose classified documents to my ghostwriter. 490 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: Page three says that he did that. 491 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 8: He says, mister Biden shared information, including some classified information 492 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 8: from those notebooks. 493 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: Senator I watched that on CNN and I said, holy crap, 494 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: they're turning on him, and this is the end of 495 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's presidency. As we know, they're trying to offload 496 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 2: him in real time because of this report, saying here 497 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 2: it is let's take him out. 498 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, this is a massive problem, and it's not 499 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 3: a problem that goes away in a day or two, 500 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 3: or a week or a month. This is a problem 501 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 3: that continues every day Joe Biden remains in the presidency. 502 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 3: I'll also point out something else, which is this report 503 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 3: implicitly exonerates Donald Trump, which is an enormous problem for 504 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 3: Biden as well, because look, one of their big marquee 505 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 3: cases against Trump now they're prosecuting him for damn near everything, 506 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 3: including late library books. But one of their marquee cases 507 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 3: is that Trump possessed classified documents in mar Laga. And 508 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 3: let me read again from the report, this is what 509 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 3: they say about Biden quote. Contemporary evidence suggests that when 510 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 3: mister Biden left office in twenty seventeen, he believed he 511 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: was allowed to keep the notebooks in his home. In 512 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 3: a recorded conversation with his ghostwriter in April twenty seventeen, 513 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 3: mister Biden explained that, despite his staff views to the contrary, 514 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 3: he did not think he was required to turn in 515 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 3: his note cards to the National Archives, where they were 516 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 3: stored at a skiff, and he had not wanted to 517 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 3: do so. At trial, he would argue plausibly that he 518 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 3: thought the same thing about his notebooks. If this is 519 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 3: what mister Biden thought, we believe he was mistaken about 520 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 3: what the law permits. But this view finds some support 521 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 3: in historical practice. The clearest example is President Reagan, who 522 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 3: left the White House in nineteen eighty nine with eight 523 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 3: years worth of handwritten diaries, which he appears to have 524 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 3: kept in his California home, even though they contained top 525 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 3: secret information. During criminal litigation involving a former Reagan administration 526 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 3: official in nineteen eighty nine and ninety, the Department of 527 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 3: Justice stated in public court filings that the quote currently 528 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 3: classified diaries were mister Reagan's quote, personal records. Yet we 529 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 3: know of no state the Department or other agencies took 530 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 3: to investigate mister Reagan for handing, mishandling classified information or 531 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 3: to retrieve or secure as diaries. Most jurors would likely 532 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 3: find evidence of this precedent and mister Biden's claimed reliance 533 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 3: on it, which we expect would be admitted at trial, 534 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 3: to be compelling evidence that mister Biden did not act 535 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 3: wilfully as with the marked classified documents. Because the evidence 536 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 3: is not sufficient to convict mister Biden for wilfully retaining 537 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 3: the notebooks, we decline prosecution. Now that entire passage, you 538 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 3: could write word for word and simply replace the word 539 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 3: Biden with Trump, and it would be a major defense 540 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 3: for Trump. And this incoherence, the Department of Justice is 541 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 3: going to have a nightmare, because I promise you Trump's 542 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 3: defense lawyers are going to quote that back at them 543 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 3: and say, you know what, the Department of Justice was 544 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 3: right and if they were right about Biden. By the way, 545 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 3: on this podcast, we walk through how the historical precedent 546 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 3: was president after president after president had kept documents, including 547 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 3: President Reagan, including President Obama, including President Clinton. We walked 548 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 3: through the history. That's what the Department of Justice just 549 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 3: concluded as their reason not to prosecute Biden. And the 550 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 3: obvious screaming question is, well, then why do you go 551 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 3: after the opposing party other than because you are politically 552 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 3: trying to stop the voters from voting for the other guy. 553 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: Let me just say this. 554 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 2: You look at the headlines right now, it's pretty clear 555 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 2: that the world is going crazy. It's up in flames. 556 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 2: Bidenomics is a complete and total disaster. And I try 557 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: to make sure that every day when I wake up, 558 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,479 Speaker 2: that doesn't ruin my day. Now, most of you know, 559 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 2: I do a radio show every morning at seven am, 560 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 2: and I start my day with a hot a Mayor 561 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 2: Erica first cup of blackout coffee.

I'm talking about, those 564 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 2: woke liberal companies out there.

I'm sure you agree with me. It's 585 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:20,759 Speaker 2: one o'clock in the morning right now as you. 586 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 3: Are, they're all awake. Nobody is They're. 587 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: All awake, yeah, and they're probably at the White House. Still. 588 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 2: They lost Democrats today, and they lost the media today, 589 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 2: and now it's got to feel like you're either inside 590 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,400 Speaker 2: the inner circle of Team Biden to prop him up 591 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 2: and protect him, and now the Democrats seem to be 592 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:45,560 Speaker 2: circling the wagon. In your opinion, is this the beginning 593 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 2: of the end of the Biden presidency? Do you think 594 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 2: he actually makes it to election day because he's going 595 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,000 Speaker 2: to dig in That was clear from the press conference tonight. 596 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,799 Speaker 2: But it looks like and this could change, but as 597 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 2: of one am right now, it looks like Democrats are 598 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 2: saying it's a fish. So we are not going to 599 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 2: support Joe Biden in this president to run any longer. 600 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 1: We got to figure out how to offload him. 601 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 3: Look, I think the odds remain very low that he 602 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 3: steps down before the end of his term. I think 603 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 3: as long as he is able to stand vertically and 604 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 3: not fall over, he is going to finish out this year. 605 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 3: That being said, as I said at the beginning of 606 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 3: this pod, I think the odds that the Democrats push 607 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 3: him aside and replace it with Michelle Obama about sixty 608 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 3: five to thirty five, or put it in another way, 609 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 3: it's about two to one. Now more likely than not 610 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:43,360 Speaker 3: that the Democrats decide this guy cannot be our nominee 611 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 3: in November. 612 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 2: One other question I do want to ask you, does 613 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 2: this change the way that Republicans investigate Joe Biden? Knowing 614 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 2: that the DOJ is now basically said, you can't charge 615 00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 2: this guy with anything, or we're not going to charge 616 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 2: this guy with anything. If they wouldn't do it now, 617 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 2: why would they change that logic moving forward? How does 618 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 2: that change the way that James Comer and Jim Jordan 619 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,399 Speaker 2: are doing their investigations And should it change the way 620 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 2: they're doing their investigations at all? 621 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 3: It shouldn't, and I don't think it will. And as 622 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 3: we've discussed at great length on this podcast, the evidence 623 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,879 Speaker 3: of Joe Biden's corruption, of his deliberately selling favors from 624 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 3: the Vice President of the United States to foreign oligarchs, 625 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 3: to Russian oligarch's, Ukrainian oligarchs, Chinese communists for millions and 626 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 3: millions of dollars, that evidence is very significant, and it 627 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 3: is repeated evidence not only of doing so, but doing 628 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 3: so willfully, doing so deliberately, and then aggressively covering it 629 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,319 Speaker 3: up and lying about it. And I think we will 630 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 3: see the House continue to lay out that evidence and 631 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 3: to lay it out at great length. And I would 632 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:56,040 Speaker 3: point out Number one, an immediate step for that potentially 633 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 3: is impeaching Joe Biden. And the Department of Justice doesn't 634 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 3: get a vote on whether or not to impeach Joe Biden. 635 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:06,960 Speaker 3: But number two, whether or not whether or not Biden 636 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,759 Speaker 3: gets prosecuted for bribery is ultimately not going to be 637 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 3: a question decided by this Department of Justice. The chances 638 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 3: that Merrick Garland brings charges are zero point zero zero percent. 639 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 3: He is acting, and he has acted his entire tenure 640 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 3: like a political operative who works for the DNC. So 641 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 3: Merrick Garland's not going to do it. And indeed, there 642 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 3: is considerable evidence underscored by two IRS whistleblowers who are 643 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 3: career employees and Democrats, that Merrick Garland actively lied to 644 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,040 Speaker 3: Congress under oath, committed felonies, and obstructed justice. So with 645 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 3: or without this report, this DOJ was never going to 646 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 3: prosecute Joe Biden. That being said, if the House continues 647 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,240 Speaker 3: to lay out the evidence and we have a Department 648 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 3: of Justice that is not controlled by Joe Biden, if 649 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:02,240 Speaker 3: there's a Trump Department of Justice and there is real 650 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 3: evidence of bribery and corruption of Joe Biden and Hunter 651 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 3: Biden and the extended Biden family, I think the possibility 652 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 3: of prosecution is real and significant. 653 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 2: One other question, and this is something that I think 654 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 2: so many Americans want to know. When you see this 655 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 2: report that just came out and you see the cognitive 656 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 2: decline and what they're stating in this report there, you 657 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 2: got to ask this question, who is running this country 658 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 2: right now? Because if it is as bad as this 659 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 2: special prosecutor is saying, it is behind closed doors, and 660 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 2: we know how this media has propped him up and 661 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 2: protected him, and we know how the White House is 662 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,479 Speaker 2: limited as schedule, he sleeps in the morning, he works 663 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 2: usually between I think they said what noon and four. 664 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,960 Speaker 2: He's not doing big events. He's getting the name of 665 00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,880 Speaker 2: leaders wrong now and when there who's alive and who's 666 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 2: dead now on a regular basis, that's happened three times 667 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 2: in the last three days. Who is running the country, Senator? 668 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 2: And does that concern you as well. So I can 669 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,800 Speaker 2: I tell you. I get asked that question regularly. I 670 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 2: got asked that question tonight. Every week someone asks me 671 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 2: who's running the White House? Who's running the government. The 672 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 2: honest answer, and this is really scary. 673 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: I don't know. 674 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 3: I genuinely don't know. I have a theory. I think 675 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 3: it is Barack Obama, but I can't prove that. I 676 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 3: don't know that to be a fact. It's just that 677 00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,080 Speaker 3: that there are various data points, including the fact that 678 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,400 Speaker 3: Obama remained in DC, something no president in modern times 679 00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,479 Speaker 3: is done. He's regularly in d C. He's regularly holding court, 680 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 3: he's meeting with Democrats, he's meeting with members of the 681 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 3: administration at his house. And so I think it is 682 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:40,160 Speaker 3: likely Obama, but I can't prove that. I just know 683 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 3: it's not Joe Biden. So it is some combination of 684 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 3: Obama and other senior White House officials and people like 685 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:51,320 Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and AOC. But the candid 686 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 3: answer is I have no idea. 687 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:54,720 Speaker 1: One of two things is for sure. 688 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,120 Speaker 2: Either the media is gonna calm down the next couple 689 00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,520 Speaker 2: of days, or they're going to keep going after him 690 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 2: and that can change an awful lot. If he does 691 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,320 Speaker 2: continue to lose the media, We're going to keep covering 692 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,240 Speaker 2: it here. Don't forget.
