I'm 35 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: Michael Knowles, Senator. There is a lot that I want 36 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: to get to. To get to Martha's vineyard, I want 37 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: to get to the Iranian President. But first I do 38 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: not want us to be accused of creating a straw 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: man out of Joe Biden. Joe Biden just sat down 40 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: with sixty minutes for an interview covering pretty much every 41 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 1: topic under the sun, and I would like to get 42 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: your reaction to Biden in his own words, since, as 43 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: far as I can tell, the media will never push 44 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: the man in any way and push back on his 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: talking points. Well, unfortunately, his mental acuity is so diminished 46 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: that that sixty minutes took one hundred and twenty minutes. 47 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: It's that it was a soft bare Yeah, I mean, 48 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: how can you not did not go for that one? 49 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Look the press that they're not even the praetorian Guard, 50 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: that they are his loyal propagandists, and they allow him 51 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: to spin without challenge. But but but let's get to specifics. Okay, 52 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: So first up, he takes on the issue of inflation. 53 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: We know we've got forty year record high inflation. The 54 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: inflation has kept up. Here is the spin that the 55 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: White House is putting on it the president. As you know, 56 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,239 Speaker 1: last Tuesday, the annual inflation rate came in at eight 57 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: point three percent. The stock market nose dived, people are 58 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: shocked by their grocery bills. What can you do better 59 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: and faster? Well, first of all, let's put this in perspective. 60 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: Inflation rate month to month was just an inch, hardly 61 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: at all. You're not arguing that eight point three is 62 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: good news. No, I'm not saying it is good news. 63 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: But it was eight point two or eight point two before. 64 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not. You may I can make it 65 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: sound like all of a sudden, my god, it went 66 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: to eight point two percent. It's the highest inflation rate, 67 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: mister President in forty years. I got that. But guess 68 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: what we are. We're in a position where for the 69 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: last several months it hasn't spiked, it has just barely 70 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: has been basically even Look, this is a process. This 71 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: is a process. Is the economy going to get worse 72 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: before it gets better? No? I don't think so. Okay, 73 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: so you saw actually more pushback than I've ever seen 74 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: from the media there. It wasn't very much at all, 75 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 1: But at least he saying, come on, man, you know, 76 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: like me, throw me a bone here. It's obviously extremely 77 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: high inflation. Biden says, no, the month over month has 78 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: barely ticked up. What say you? So you're right, I'll 79 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: give Scott Pelley some some credit. He did at least 80 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 1: pushback some, which is more than than than the White 81 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: House press briefing typically does. But you know, Biden's argument 82 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: is bizarre. He says, well, it's eight point three but 83 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: it didn't get any worse. Yeah, I mean it's you know, 84 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: I'm reminded of an analogy like like you're you're badly 85 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: wounded and you're bleeding out a pint an hour, And 86 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: his defense is, well, it didn't increase, it didn't go 87 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: up to two pints an hour, like you're still bleeding 88 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: to death. Like eight point three percent annualized inflation means 89 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: that families across this country are badly hurting, and it 90 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: is continuing to be It's the highest inflation rate in 91 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: forty years. And Biden has no solution for it. But 92 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: it's worse than having no solution for it. He doesn't 93 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: understand what caused it. There's only one thing that causes inflation. 94 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: That's government spending too much money, spending money it doesn't have, 95 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 1: borrowing money it doesn't have, and printing money it doesn't have. 96 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: Biden's solution is, spend more money they don't have, borrow 97 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: more money they don't have, and print more money they 98 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: don't have it that will produce more inflation. And Biden's 99 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: answer as well, think how much worse it could be? 100 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: Think how much worse it could be month over month? 101 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 1: And I think I don't measure inflation month over month. 102 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: Nobody measures inflation month over month. We measure it, measure 103 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 1: it year over year. And the fact is that goods 104 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 1: cost eight and a half percent more in September of 105 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: this year than they did in September of last year. 106 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: And so even that shift of well, let's look at 107 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: the month to month metric, I think, who cares about 108 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: that metric. If it's jumped to this much in a year, 109 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: that's really really bad. Well, and look, even that figure 110 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: understates it in terms of what Americans are actually feeling. 111 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: You take gasoline, gasoline is still double what it was 112 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: when Biden was elected. That ain't eight percent. That's double. 113 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: That is hurting people. One hundred dollars gas bill is 114 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 1: now not unusual to fill up your truck. You know, 115 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: people are seeing one hundred and fifty dollars gas bills, 116 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: particularly if you're you're unfortunate enough to live on the 117 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,359 Speaker 1: West coast. You know, you look at food bills that 118 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: have skyrocketed. You look at you know, you look at electricity. 119 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: I mean my electricity bill. It's a lot more than 120 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: eight percent what it was last year. I think a 121 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: lot of the bills consumers are paying. Haven't just gone 122 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: up a little bit, They've gone up a ton and 123 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: people are hurting. So there's good news that Joe Biden 124 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: gave him this interview. I'mid all the terrible economic news. 125 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: He said, No, there's there's a glimmer of light here 126 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: because the pandemic, you know, the pandemic from two and 127 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: a half years ago that was supposed to end in 128 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: fifteen days. The pandemic, he says, is over. The president 129 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: first Detroit Auto show in three years. Yeah, is the 130 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: pandemic over. The pandemic is over. We still have a 131 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 1: problem with COVID. We're still doing a lot of work 132 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 1: on it. It's what the pandemic is over. If you 133 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: notice no one's wearing masks. Everybody seems to be in 134 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: pretty good shape. And so I think it's changing, and 135 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: I think this is a perfect example of it. Okay, 136 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: one do you agree? And two, if you do agree, 137 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: that's good news. Right, that's something Biden can hang his 138 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: hat on. Well, listen, he's right, the pandemic is over. 139 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: I'll tell you who doesn't agree. The Biden White House. 140 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: Within hours of this interview airing, the White House was 141 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: immediately walking back no, no, no, no, no, we didn't 142 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: mean the pandemic is over. Never mind what he actually 143 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: said to the camera. Look, man, we have an administration. 144 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: They still have vaccine mandates in place that they're still 145 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: trying to throw people out of the Army and the Navy, 146 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: and the Air Force and the Marines because they haven't 147 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: gotten vaccinated. They're trying to throw people out of the 148 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: federal government. They're trying to throw FBI agents out there, 149 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: trying to throw Border patrol agents out there, trying to 150 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: throw professionals up and down the federal government out look. 151 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: The DC Public Schools have announced they're going to impose 152 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: a vaccine mandate on the DC public schools that if 153 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: a kid hasn't been vaccinated, that kid can't come to school. 154 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: In the District of Columbia, only eighty percent of the 155 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,960 Speaker 1: kids have COVID vaccines, but only sixty percent of the 156 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: African American kids, So the Democrats are literally trying to 157 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: throw forty percent of the African American kids out of school. Now, 158 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: they delayed that rule because there was so much pushback 159 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: from the parents that they're like, gosh, maybe it isn't 160 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: a good idea to throw forty percent of the black 161 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: kids out of the DC public schools. Maybe really bad 162 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: things will happen from that. But these idiots, they're trying 163 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: to impose these mandates. We saw just this week New 164 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: York is firing teachers who haven't gotten the COVID vaccine. 165 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: We've seen nurses and doctors fired who haven't gotten the 166 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 1: COVID vaccine. Yes, the pandemic is over, but these petty totalitarians. 167 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 1: Let me ask you something, the US open, Why is 168 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: it that we're putting a vaccine mandate to play tennis 169 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: outside with world class athletes? Because these are petty totalitarian despots, 170 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: And that answer illustrates We've all known that the pandemic 171 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 1: was over for a long time, and yet you know what, 172 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: Biden's administration is still appealing to impose the mask mandate 173 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: on airplanes. His doj is litigating it right now. It's 174 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 1: only because a courageous federal judge says enough is enough, 175 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: get rid of of the mask. And you know what, 176 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: You've still got numbskulls on planes, not many, but a 177 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: few that they're virtuous, so strong they will mask up 178 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: till the end of time. So the disconnect I get 179 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: because there have been many times when the Biden White 180 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 1: House undercuts Joe Biden himself, which raises a lot of 181 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: questions about who is running the White House. I get 182 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: the disconnect. But the question that I have is why 183 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: why are they still pushing COVID? Is it ignorance? Is 184 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: it neurosis? Are they really afraid of the Wuhan virus? 185 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: Or is it a little more cynical and political than that. 186 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: Do they see midterm elections coming up, specially elections that 187 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: they don't seem very well situated for, and are they 188 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: hoping to reinstitute some of the extraordinary quote unquote public 189 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: health measures that seem to give them an electoral advantage 190 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. So I don't think it's the latter. Now, 191 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: to be clear, you're going to see Democrats pushing mail 192 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: in balloting because they think it elects Democrats, and it 193 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: does elect Democrats. The more policies they put in place 194 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: that increase the likely to fraud, the more likely Democrats 195 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: are to win. So it's it doesn't have anything to 196 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: do with COVID. It has to do with the fact 197 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: they want to hold onto power. You know, it's interesting, 198 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: it's getting in the mind of a leftist is not easy. 199 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: I think there's several things going on. I do think 200 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: there are definitely some on the left that have sort 201 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: of bought the fear porn, the like we're all gonna die. 202 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: We must be masked, we must be quadruple vaxed, we 203 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: must like like some of them that has been so 204 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 1: beaten into them that it's hard for them. It's like 205 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: they have Stockholm syndrome or something. Yeah, you know, it's 206 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: like you see the self righteous lefty driving down the 207 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: road in the car alone wearing a mask. You know, 208 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: you see people out in DC. I saw this was 209 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: several months ago, but I saw like two older ladies 210 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: with gray hairs who who They weren't wearing birkenstocks, but 211 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: everything about them conveyed that they were people of the left. 212 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: They had some in the closet, so they were. They 213 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: were walking down the street no mask. They saw me 214 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: and reached in their purses and put on their mask 215 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: because their virtue had to be demonstrated in while I 216 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: was on the sidewalk anywhere near them. It that is 217 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 1: a true thing for lefties. I think with lefty politicians 218 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: it's a different thing. They like power that they like, 219 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: having the authority to say you shut your business, you 220 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: shut your school, you get a vaccine, like the vaccine mandate. 221 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: It is an exercise of power. I will make you comply. 222 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: You know, Joe Biden told Chicago fire half your police 223 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: officers if they don't get the vaccine. It is it's 224 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: it is the petty authoritarianism. But the pettiness is the point. 225 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: It's I have the power to control you. Now, on 226 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: the flip side, I think the inflation component of it. 227 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: Part of the reason that Biden says the pandemic is 228 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: over is I think they're starting to get scared about November, 229 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: and so he's trying to have some good news and 230 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: saying the pandemic is over is him saying, look, see 231 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: we solved COVID. By the way, you're fired if you 232 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 1: don't get a vaccine. But see we solved COVID. Now. 233 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: I alluded earlier to the war in Ukraine, obviously a 234 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: huge challenge for Biden because, in the words of Vladimir Zelenski, 235 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: president of Ukraine, Biden largely was the cause of that 236 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: of that war by dropping sanctions on Putin and by 237 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: actually sort of inviting him to invade eastern Ukraine and 238 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: saying there wouldn't really be consequences. So here's what Biden 239 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: said in response to the breakout of the first major 240 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: war in Europe in seventy years. It has been barbaric 241 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:51,560 Speaker 1: when he's donned his attacks on civilian everything from civilian 242 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: hospitals to two, you know, people's old age homes to 243 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 1: neighborhoods for ordinary people, live, schools, schools. It's just outrageous. 244 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: And so the price Ukrainian people are paying for this 245 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: war is extremely high. But we're going to stay with 246 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: them as long as they need our help. You're already 247 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: north of fifteen billion dollars in terms of those commitments. 248 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: How far do you go as long as it takes 249 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: ironclad commitment. Yes, as Ukraine succeeds on the battlefield, Vladimir 250 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: Putin is becoming embarrassed and pushed into a corner. And 251 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: I wonder, mister President, what you would say to him 252 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: if he is considering using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons. Don't, 253 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: don't don't. It will change the face of war unlike 254 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: anything since World War Two, And the consequences of that 255 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: would be what what would the US response be? You 256 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: think I would tell you if I knew exactly it 257 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: would be. Of course, I'm not going to tell you. 258 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: So there's a little bit of a slip he has 259 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: at the end, which is he admits he doesn't know 260 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: what the response of me, And he said, do you 261 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: think I would tell you even if I did know? 262 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: And certainly he's not going to be the one formulating 263 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: those strategies. But putting aside the blame game, which which 264 00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: we know you Zelenski blames Biden for the war, But 265 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: putting aside the blame game for a second, what do 266 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: you make of his answer, Yes, we will stick with Ukraine, Yes, 267 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: there's no end to the support that we will give, 268 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: and his deterrent speech a slight, slight bit of rhetoric 269 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: against Putin. Look, he asked, what do you do? What 270 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 1: do you say if Putin is going to drop a 271 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: nuclear bomb in Europe? It's kind of a big question. 272 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 1: Biden's answer is dot dot d Okay, It's uncanny. It's 273 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: like I've got Biden right in front of me. Okay, 274 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: just just listening to that. Is there anyone on planet 275 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: or Earth who that would deter from doing anything? Literally anything? 276 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: A third grader who's beating up another third grader who 277 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: heard someone going dude, dude, that third grader is getting 278 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: punched in the nose like look. One of the responsibilities 279 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: of the commander in chief is to deter our enemies. 280 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 1: Why did Putin invade Ukraine. One of the reasons was 281 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: Biden's weakness waiving sanctions, But another week reason was Biden 282 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: is so incredibly weak that every bad actor looks at 283 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: the commander in chief and says, this guy ain't gonna 284 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: stop nothing. And so you know, as you noted, he said, well, 285 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: even if I knew what I was gonna do, I 286 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't do anything. Look. I pray Putin does not use 287 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, but that statement right there increase the likelihood 288 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: that he will. And we need a commander in chief. 289 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: I agree, you don't say exactly what the consequences are, 290 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: but a commander in chief looks in the TV camera 291 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: and says, using nuclear weapons in Europe would be an 292 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: extraordinary escalation and the consequences would be devastating. It would 293 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:33,840 Speaker 1: be devastating to Putin to Russia, to the regime. Under 294 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: no circumstances will the world sit by and watch a 295 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: Russian dictator use a nuclear weapon. That's what a commander 296 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: in chief says, not some you know what. It reminds 297 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: me of who's the little old guy in the Simpsons 298 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 1: who's always getting killed? Like the little bald guy. I 299 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: can't remember the name of that character that I forget 300 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: his name too, but that's who Biden seemed like. Yet 301 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: we need strength of the Oval office, that ain't it now? 302 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: I remember, after Biden's completely botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, you 303 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 1: said on this show that the way in which America 304 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 1: pulled out of Afghanistan makes an invasion of Ukraine by 305 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: Russia much more likely, and an invasion of Taiwan by 306 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: China much more likely. That's the next question that Joe 307 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: Biden gets asked. Here's what he says about a potential 308 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 1: Chinese further takeover of Taiwan. What should Chinese President She 309 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: know about your commitment to Taiwan. We agree with what 310 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: we signed on to a long time ago, and there's 311 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,960 Speaker 1: one China policy, and Taiwan makes their own judgments about 312 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: their independence. We are not moving. We're not encouraging them 313 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 1: being independent. We're not that's their decision. But would US 314 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: forces defend the island yes, if in fact there was 315 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: an unprecedented attack. After our interview, white House official told 316 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: US US policy has not changed. Officially, the US will 317 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: not say whether American forces would defend Taiwan, but the 318 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: Commander in chief had a view of his own, so 319 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: unlike Ukraine, to be clear, Sir, US forces, US men 320 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: and women would defend Taiwan in the event of a 321 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: Chinese invasion. Yes, So it's amazing in that interview, how 322 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: as Biden is sort of babbling his answer, the voiceover 323 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: just takes there and says, yeah, okay, never mind what 324 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: he says. The White House actually he contradicts him. And 325 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: so now you've got this disagreement yet again between Joe 326 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: Biden and the White House. Whatever that means. You've got 327 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: this question about what exactly America's policy view visa VI 328 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 1: Taiwan is. There is this question of the one China 329 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: policy again, whatever that is. That phrase has been taken 330 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: to mean different things at different times over the decades. 331 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,920 Speaker 1: So two parts, One, what is Joe Biden slash the 332 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: White House actually saying here? And two do you think 333 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: that their approach is the right policy to Taiwan? So look, 334 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: nobody knows what the hell he's saying. I get to say, 335 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: when Biden talks about foreign policy, I've never seen a 336 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: president like this in my lifetime, where he screws it 337 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: up every day. But like he just says things. This 338 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: is a guy you wouldn't let handle the remote control 339 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 1: of your television set. He doesn't understand what he's saying. 340 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: He doesn't know what he's saying. Look, that voiceover is weird. 341 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: Think about it. Have you ever seen a president of 342 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: the United States interviewed and his White House staff had 343 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: to correct and retract what he said mid interview, not 344 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: even afterwards, because they're like, oh crap. He just like 345 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: fundamentally changed US policy towards China and Taiwan, and he 346 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: doesn't know it. He is no aware of it. It's 347 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: one thing. Look, a commander in chief has the prerogative 348 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: to change US foreign policy. That's part of what a 349 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: president has an ability to do, at least in significant respect, 350 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: although Congress plays a major role in that also. But 351 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: watching that interview, listen, it's genuinely frightening because he doesn't 352 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: appreciate any of that nuance. We have an obligation by 353 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: statute to support Taiwan and to support Taiwan in the 354 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: face of Chinese aggression. The word support has a lot 355 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: of flexibility. We have never passed legislation, We've never signed 356 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: a treaty committing to send US servicemen and women to 357 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: fight Chinese soldiers to defend Taiwan. We've committed to support them. 358 00:21:53,240 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: But what constitutes support The statute deliberately doesn't define. And 359 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 1: Biden is just cavalier and saying, yep, I'd send US 360 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: soldiers to go fighting. You know, it's not like they're 361 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: talking about fighting Grenada to fight the Chinese Red Army. 362 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: That's kind of a big deal. Let's go to war. 363 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: And he does it with no appreciation of it. When 364 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: the White House walks it back, it makes clear that 365 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: the administration is incoherent on it. And this actually there 366 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: are a lot of similarities to this discussion and the 367 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: Ukraine Nordstream to discussion. This President and the Democrats don't 368 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: understand the difference between deterrance and acting after the fact. 369 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 1: The best way to protect Taiwan is prevent China from 370 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,120 Speaker 1: going in in the first place, and to do that 371 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: means you want deterrence. In terms of number one, massive 372 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: and cataclysmics sanctions on China such that the penalty the 373 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: Chinese would pay makes them think again, using levers of 374 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 1: power we have that are not sending our sons and 375 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: daughters to die, but secondly preparing and equipping the Taiwanese 376 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: to defend themselves. You know, there's a phrase that is 377 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 1: used by the military planners of that Taiwan should be 378 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: a porcupine. In other words, that like, if the Chinese 379 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: try to invade, there should be a lot of spines 380 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: that they should be really eager to put their tushy 381 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 1: little dairy air on top of that means expediting armed 382 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: sails to Taiwan. Now, and look, Taiwan is a wealthy country. 383 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: They have the money to pay for F sixteens, to 384 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: pay for advanced weapons systems, to pay for equipment, so 385 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: that if the Chinese military planners are assessing costs and 386 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: benefit of invasion, the Taiwanese are really robustly available, prepared 387 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: to repel an invasion. That's actually being smart and proactive 388 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 1: on the front end. Biden's not doing nearly enough of that. 389 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: And in fact, let me give you a very specific example. 390 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: So the people of Taiwan under Barack Obama the Chinese 391 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: government got mad because the people of Taiwan were allowing 392 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: the or the US government was allowing Taiwanese government officials 393 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 1: to have a Taiwanese flag and allowing Taiwanese soldiers to 394 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 1: wear Taiwanese military insignia. So the Obama administration passed a 395 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: new regulation prohibiting taiwan from displaying their flag on US 396 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: government property or from any Taiwanese soldier wearing a uniform. 397 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: It's bizarre. It's the only nation on earth that we 398 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: don't let them wear their own military uniforms. That was 399 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: inexplicit capitulation to the government of China when Trump became president. 400 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: For the first three and a half years of the 401 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: Trump presidency, unfortunately, the State Department kept that rule in place, 402 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: and I spent three and a half years basically taking 403 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: a two by four to the Trump State Department, to 404 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: Rex Tillerson and then Mike Pompeo saying this is stupid. 405 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: We should allow our Taiwanese friends and allies to display 406 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: their flag and their soldiers to wear their uniforms. Three 407 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: and a half years, I beat them up. I beat 408 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: Tillerson up on it, and then I beat Mike Pompeo 409 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: up on it. Finally, in the latter half of the 410 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: last year the Trump presidency, the State Department reversed its rules. 411 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: Pat Pompeo agreed with me, reversed the policy and said, okay, 412 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: Taiwan now can display their flags and wear their uniforms 413 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: on US government property. Biden came in when Tony blink In, 414 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: the new Secretary of State, was coming in. I questioned 415 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: him about this at his hearing, and he said that 416 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: they would maintain the current policy, in other words, allow 417 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: Taiwan to display their symbols of sovereignty. What happens b 418 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: Lincoln gets confirmed. They flipped the policy. So now the 419 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: Biden administration refuses to allow any symbols of sovereignty. Now. 420 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: I have passed into law now twice, my legislation, the 421 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: Taiwan Symbols of Sovereignty legislation that would allow Taiwan to 422 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: display their flag and display and the soldiers to wear 423 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: their uniforms. The Biden administration stripped it out at the 424 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: last minute of the legislation that that just passed. And 425 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: there's another bill that's moving that Joe Biden is actively 426 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: lobbying removing it. I've been able to get both Republicans 427 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: and Democrats in the Senate to agree with this legislation, 428 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 1: and yet Biden is so committed to appeasing China that 429 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: he's trying to pull it out. And so it's dangerous 430 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 1: when there's this incoherence on policy on a matter as 431 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: important and consequential as stopping and standing up to communist 432 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: China and deferring Chinese aggression. And I think this Biden 433 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: interview just makes it worse. Will rather than answer any 434 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: questions in sensible detail on his own foreign policy, Biden 435 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: then turned the interview away from his own administration's views 436 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: toward Donald Trump, suggesting that Donald Trump imperiled national security 437 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,719 Speaker 1: by keeping classified documents at Mara Lago, for which Biden 438 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: then sent the FBI to go go knock down the 439 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: doors of the presidents and now main political rival to 440 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden of his residence. Here's what Biden had to say, 441 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: When you saw the photograph of the top secret documents 442 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 1: laid out on the floor of Mara Lago, what did 443 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: you think to yourself looking at that image, how that 444 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: could possibly happen, How anyone could be that irresponsible? And 445 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: I thought, what data was in there that may compromise 446 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: sources and methods. By that, I mean names of people 447 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 1: who helped, etc. And it's just totally irresponsible, And you 448 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 1: don't know what was in those documents. I have not 449 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: asked for the specifics of those documents because I don't 450 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: want to get myself in the middle of whether or 451 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: not the Just Department should move or not move on 452 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 1: certain actions they can take. I agreed, I would not 453 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: tell them what to do, and not in fact engage 454 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: in telling them how to prosecute or not. So one, 455 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: was it really so shocking? I asked that somewhat sincerely, 456 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: was it really so shocking the photograph that the FBI released? 457 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: I have my suspicions about it, but I'd like to 458 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: know your answer. And then too, what do you make 459 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden saying, Look, I don't want to get 460 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 1: involved here. I don't I don't want this investigation of 461 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: Trump to look political. Look, every part of that answer 462 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: was an absolute crock. Number one is it's shocking to 463 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: see empty minilla folders. No, I've seen more frightening things 464 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: in my life than that. You might get a papercut 465 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: from it. I guess that's shocking. It is a little terrifying, 466 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, it's a little rich saying Biden go on 467 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: about how horribly irresponsible it was without any acknowledgement. There 468 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: was a certain person named Hillary Clinton who had tens 469 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: of thousands of documents on a private email server that 470 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: was subject to hacking, including potentially classified documents, in violation 471 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: of law, and Biden was vice president in the administration 472 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: that refused to prosecute her, that that gave her a 473 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: hall pass and said never mind, and by you, by 474 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 1: the way, this is a Hillary Clinton who also in 475 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: obstructing the investigation. They use hammers to shatter cell phones 476 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: and destroy evidence. They they they use equipment to wipe 477 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: drives cleaned to obstruct from the investigation. And so the 478 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: blazing hypocrisy. And by the way, we've also talked about 479 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: on this podcast, how every president after the presidency retains 480 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,960 Speaker 1: documents and there's a back and forth with getting the 481 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: documents back in the archives, and it takes it takes months, 482 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: and it takes years. And Obama I had thousands of 483 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: documents that still haven't been submitted back. And so that 484 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: the weaponization and politicization over a document production question is 485 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: I think quite absurd. But for me, the most priceless 486 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: part of that exchange was the self righteous I would 487 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: never put myself in whether my Department of Justice should 488 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: go after him. What an utter cruck go to point 489 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: out two facts. Number One, when Joe Biden was Vice 490 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 1: president on January fifth, he participated this is twenty seventeen, 491 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: in an Oval office meeting with Barack Obama, where he 492 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: suggested to the Department of Justice that they go after 493 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: Michael Flynn, then Donald Trump's incoming national security advisor, under 494 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: the Logan Act, because Michael Flynn, the incoming National Security Advisor, 495 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: had had a conversation with a foreign leader. Mind you, 496 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,959 Speaker 1: every national security advisor in the history of the country 497 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: has had lots of conversations with foreign leaders, because that's 498 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: their frigging job to have conversations with foreign leaders. But 499 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: it was Biden who suggested go prosecute them, and who 500 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 1: also signed off on and by the way, keep this 501 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: entire prosecution and persecution secret from the incoming president. So 502 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: that is in writing Sally Yates, the Deputy Attorney General, 503 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: her notes show it was Biden's idea to do this. 504 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: So you want to talk about someone who's personally directed 505 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: the weaponization of DJ against the Trump administration. Joe Biden's 506 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: right at the top of that list, and secondly at president. 507 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 1: As president, he has repeatedly called on you know, I 508 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: think the Department of Justice needs to be tougher going 509 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 1: after Trump. He's calling for them publicly. You know, it's 510 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: like the classic you know, who will rid me of 511 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: this troublesome cleric. He's just calling out loud. And if 512 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: only there's a Department of Justice or an FBI that 513 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: might listen and send, say, fifty agents to raid the 514 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,959 Speaker 1: guy's house. But I don't know about it. I just 515 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: publicly mused, wouldn't it be nice if they did it? 516 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: What a crock Yeah, of course, of course. And to 517 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: say this is not political is you know, Strand's credulity. 518 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: It's beyond the point of absurdity. And yet, and yet, 519 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: there is a question about whether or not Biden will 520 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: run in twenty twenty four. Biden thus far has said yes, 521 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: I am running. Biden has filed the paperwork to run. 522 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 1: You have said on this podcast, Biden's not going to run. 523 00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: He can't run. Biden for the first time, I think, 524 00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: when asked this question starts to open the door to 525 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: not running in twenty twenty four. Were you committed to 526 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: running again or are there certain conditions that have to 527 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: be right. Look, if I were to say to you, 528 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: I'm running again, all of a sudden, the whole range 529 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 1: of things come into play that I have requirements I 530 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: have to change and move and do in terms of election, 531 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: in terms of election loss. And it's much too early 532 00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: to make that kind of decision. I'm a great respecter 533 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 1: of fate, and so what I'm doing is I'm doing 534 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,640 Speaker 1: my job. I'm going to do that job and within 535 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: the time frame that makes sense. After this next election 536 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 1: cycle here, going into next year, make a judgment of 537 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: what to do. You say that it's much too early 538 00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,520 Speaker 1: to make that decision. I take it the decision has 539 00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: not been made in your own head. Look, my intentions, 540 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 1: I said to begin with, is that I would run again. 541 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: But it's just an intention. But is it a firm 542 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: decision that I've run again? That remains to be seen. 543 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: How would you say your mental focus is? Well, it's focused, 544 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 1: I says, I think it's I haven't. Look, I have 545 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: trouble even mentioning, even saying to myself my own head, 546 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: the number of years. I no more think of myself 547 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: as being as old as I am than fly. I mean, 548 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 1: it's just not I haven't observed anything in terms of 549 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: there's not things I don't do now that I did before, 550 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: whether it's physical or mental or anything else. Mister President, 551 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: you are the oldest president ever. Pretty good shape, uh, 552 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,320 Speaker 1: which leads to my next question. You are more aware 553 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: of this than anyone. Some people ask whether you are 554 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:42,400 Speaker 1: fit for the job. And when you hear that, I 555 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: wonder what you think. Watch me not great advice, I 556 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: think if Joe Biden's trying to garner su board. But 557 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,320 Speaker 1: your take on that, senator reading between the lines, is 558 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: the guy running in twenty twenty four? No, no way, 559 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: All right, There of different elements of that, so let's 560 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:07,759 Speaker 1: unpack that. So, first of all, he starts out with 561 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: latently false legal advice. And I recognize Joe Biden was 562 00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 1: never a very good lawyer, but he really showed that there. 563 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: So he says, well, they're legal consequences if I say 564 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: I'm running. Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior is the incumbent President 565 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: of the United States. He has filed paperwork with the 566 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 1: fec as a candidate for president of the United States 567 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: in the next election. He is, legally speaking, a candidate 568 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: for president of the United States in the next election. 569 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: He is raising money to run in the next election. 570 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: Everything about that is triggered because he is an active 571 00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 1: candidate raising money for that election cycle. For the twenty 572 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: twenty four election. Nothing changes if he says yes or no. 573 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:56,439 Speaker 1: Now what Biden is mimicking. So Trump has said if 574 00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: I say I'm running, that triggers things. That's true, it 575 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: does for Trump. Why because Trump is not the sitting 576 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: president of the United States, and he is not a 577 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: filed candidate. When you file for a candidate, that does 578 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 1: trigger limitations. That does trigger a whole set of legal restrictions, 579 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: all of which apply to Biden one way or the other. 580 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:19,399 Speaker 1: So Biden's opening answer is just gobbledegook. But secondly, and 581 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: here's where I'll be oddly defending Biden in this respect, 582 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,959 Speaker 1: I understand why he doesn't want to say no, I'm 583 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: not running. I think the chances that he's running a zero. 584 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: He's too old. He knows he's too old. The party 585 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: would lose its mind if he ran. He's not up 586 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: to doing the job now. The idea that he would 587 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,840 Speaker 1: run again when he's one hundred and forty two, it 588 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: just it ain't gonna happen. But I understand why a 589 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,000 Speaker 1: sitting president doesn't want to announce that. If you announce 590 00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: I'm not running, you turn yourself into a lame duck 591 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,240 Speaker 1: a year and a half into his term. That makes 592 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: sense for him. It is reasonable and rational for him 593 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 1: not to telegraph I ain't run it again. So I 594 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,080 Speaker 1: think that's what he's doing. But you know, one of 595 00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: the things that makes perfectly obvious that he is that 596 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: he's not running again is the Democrats are all openly campaigning. 597 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: They're at least four the top tier of the Democrats 598 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: are Kamala Harris, Pete Buddha Gedge, Elizabeth Warren, and Gavin Newson. 599 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: All four of them are running right now. They're stabbing 600 00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 1: each other in the back, They're they're running around preening 601 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: for the cameras that the primary is happening right now 602 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:39,359 Speaker 1: and they all know it. Um do you think any 603 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 1: of them are doing particularly well or better than any 604 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: of the others. I think Kamala is doing lousy. I 605 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 1: think she's had a spectacularly bad tenure as vice president. 606 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,759 Speaker 1: She came in as the prohibitive favorite. Like a year 607 00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: and a half ago, there was an argument that she 608 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,359 Speaker 1: would even clear the field potentially as the sitting vice 609 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: president for the Democratic president who's African American, whose female. 610 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean that the Democrats are such bean counters and 611 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: so ind identity politics that that on paper, you're like, wow, 612 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,920 Speaker 1: can how could anyone even run against her? She's screwed 613 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,279 Speaker 1: things up so badly for so long that they're all 614 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 1: sharpening their knives and they've decided to forget about it. 615 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 1: Buddha Gedge was the earliest, so early on you had 616 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: the Harris Buddha Jedge jabbing back and forth. The most 617 00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 1: recent entrant to the field is Newsome, whose ambition is 618 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 1: just bursting off. He's you know, I think the most 619 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: dangerous place in California right now might be between Gavin 620 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: Newsom and a TV camera and then Warren. So Warren 621 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 1: doesn't get talked about that much, but to my mind, 622 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,839 Speaker 1: Warren is a dark horse in this field because she's 623 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:06,400 Speaker 1: still represents the id of the hardcore progressive socialist Marxist left, 624 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: and that can be potent in a Democrat primary. So 625 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: I think they're they're leaning in more and more. I 626 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,800 Speaker 1: will say the tail end of Biden, are you two old? 627 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,760 Speaker 1: And he says, just watch me like we have been dude, 628 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: Like like, yeah, you shake hair, hands with the empty air, 629 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: you talk to the easter bunny. You get confused, like 630 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: tying your shoes. That that that that's the problem. You 631 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 1: screw up. You commit to to invading China, defend Taiwan 632 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,520 Speaker 1: just as a slip of the tongue that your own 633 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: staff has to correct mid interview. That let me just 634 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: engage an understatement does not suggest the maximum level of competence. Hmm. 635 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: Very diplomatic speaking of Bidens who have made a mess 636 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 1: of things overseas. U he did address his son. The 637 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,720 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden issue has gotten worse and worse and worse. 638 00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 1: Something like twelve to seventeen percent of people who voted 639 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: for Joe Biden twenty twenty later told polsters that had 640 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,839 Speaker 1: they known about Hunter Biden's crimes, had the Hunter Biden 641 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,319 Speaker 1: lapstop story not been suppressed by the entire big tech establishment, 642 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: they would not have voted for Joe Biden. This is 643 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: clearly a big liability for him if the story can 644 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: get out, not just about the hookers and the drugs, 645 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: but also the business dealings, the trading of US influence. 646 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,320 Speaker 1: And so Biden was asked about Hunter. Here here's his answer, 647 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 1: the President, if you run again, Republicans are most likely 648 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 1: to go after your son Hunter once again. And I 649 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: wonder what you would like to say about your son 650 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 1: and whether any of his troubles have caused conflicts for 651 00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: you or for the United States. I love my son. 652 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: Number one, he fought an addiction problem, he overcame it, 653 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,440 Speaker 1: he wrote about it. And no, there's not a single 654 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: thing that I've observed at all from that it would 655 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:18,280 Speaker 1: affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter. 656 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: Fair answer, Senator. Oh look, I understand why Biden gave 657 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: that answer. That's an answer probably a lot of fathers 658 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 1: would give. The real indictment is CBS that they took 659 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: that answer. They just says, well, gosh, meaneasers are saying 660 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: mean things about your son. Anything you want to say, 661 00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: I love my son. Oh, okay, thank you, thank you. 662 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: I appreciate that's hard hitting news. Okay, Like, look, the 663 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: guy has videoed himself committing multiple felonies. When you have 664 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:56,280 Speaker 1: crack cocaine and you're with prostitutes waving a gun around 665 00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,360 Speaker 1: that like violates so many laws it's difficult to to 666 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 1: catalog this. Biden Department of Justice doesn't enforce the laws 667 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: with respect to him, and that doesn't even begin to 668 00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:13,040 Speaker 1: touch the corruption the deals with Ukraine. Look, verdict started 669 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: out talking about brisman impeachment. All of that now is 670 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: ancient history. Getting paid eighty three thousand dollars a month 671 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,560 Speaker 1: by a Ukrainian natural gas company when you don't when 672 00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,080 Speaker 1: you don't know anything about Ukraine or natural gas, that's 673 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: reeks of corruption. I think this is really the point here, Senator, 674 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: because you know, if Biden just gave the answer and said, look, 675 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,960 Speaker 1: I love my son, he's a drug addict, degenerate, but 676 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: hopefully he's cleaning up his life. I think people would 677 00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,360 Speaker 1: move on if that last part wasn't and nothing whatsoever 678 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: affects the United States or my presidency or administration. And 679 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: you think, well, putting you know, the drugs and the 680 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: women and wine women in song aside, when you're when 681 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,880 Speaker 1: you're being paid off, when your son is getting a 682 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 1: major payoff from a corrupt government, when you are you 683 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,479 Speaker 1: then the vice president or the point person on US 684 00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: relations with that government, to say nothing of Hunter Biden's 685 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 1: business dealings in China and elsewhere around the world. That 686 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,080 Speaker 1: actually does affect the United States, and that does affect 687 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 1: your presidency. It very much does. And you look at 688 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: China and Hunters investments, where you know, Joe Biden is 689 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:24,560 Speaker 1: now selling oil from our strategic petroleum reserve to China, 690 00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 1: including Chinese state owned companies that Hunter's firm was a 691 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,800 Speaker 1: major investor and shareholder in. That's a big damn deal. 692 00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,640 Speaker 1: You know. The what it says in the laptop ten 693 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: percent for the big guy, meaning Joe Biden. On its face, 694 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:46,239 Speaker 1: that screams corruption. Merrick Garland and this politicized DJ won't 695 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: investigate it. They won't, and what should have happened. They 696 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: need to appoint a special counsel because there's no credibility 697 00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 1: of a fair and impartial investigation. And again I'm not 698 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,719 Speaker 1: going to fault Joe for trying to defend his son 699 00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 1: and trying to dismiss it. That's what any parent would do. 700 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: But there is a responsibility for a journalist actually to 701 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 1: have facts, like the question isn't so supposed to be 702 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 1: why are there so many Republican meanings. And that's basically 703 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: what CBS's question was. I thought that was they ought 704 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: to teach that question in journalism schools. Here's how to 705 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,239 Speaker 1: flunk the job of a journalist. Now, before we get 706 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 1: to the mailbag, Senator, I do want a little bit 707 00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: of a palate cleanser here. We have been dealing with 708 00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,600 Speaker 1: the leader of the free world, at least nominally our 709 00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,600 Speaker 1: own leader. I'd like to turn our attention to another 710 00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:45,399 Speaker 1: American network TV interview with another world leader. That would 711 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: be the Iranian president who was asked about his views 712 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 1: on the Holocaust. Do you believe the Holocaust happened, that 713 00:44:54,239 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 1: six million Jews were slaughtered massdia tarichi ye. Look, historical 714 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:09,680 Speaker 1: events should be investigated by researchers and historians. There are 715 00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 1: some signs that had happened. If so, they should allow 716 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,600 Speaker 1: it to be investigated and researched. So you're not sure, 717 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:19,879 Speaker 1: I'm getting that. You're not sure. What about Israel's right 718 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: to exist philistine? You see the people of Palestine or 719 00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 1: the reality This is the right of the people of 720 00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,080 Speaker 1: Palestine who are forced to leave their houses in motherland. 721 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,520 Speaker 1: The Americans are supporting this false regime there to take 722 00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:38,840 Speaker 1: root and be established. There not a ton of pushback 723 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: from Leslie Stall there. What do you make of the 724 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 1: Iranian president's remarks? So, I think that is utterly disgraceful 725 00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:57,120 Speaker 1: on multiple levels. Let's start off, Raissi is a mass 726 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 1: murderer and a terrorist. He is directly responsible for enormous 727 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: number of murders of tortures. He has been one of 728 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:11,280 Speaker 1: the most repressive figures in this horrific regime for years. 729 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:15,120 Speaker 1: He was appointed by the Ayatola to that position despite 730 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: a horrific record of human rights abuses. Number Two, he 731 00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: was allowed by the Biden administration to come to the 732 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,960 Speaker 1: United States, come to New York, to the United Nations. 733 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,040 Speaker 1: He should not have been. I've introduced legislation to block 734 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 1: him from coming. We should not be allowing terrorists and 735 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 1: mass murders into the United States. But the Biden administration, 736 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,120 Speaker 1: every enemy of a world, every enemy of America, they 737 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,320 Speaker 1: treat with weakness and appeasement. And this is yet another example. 738 00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:49,480 Speaker 1: Number three. It's particularly horrifying this interview right now. In 739 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 1: recent days, the world was stunned with the news that 740 00:46:54,719 --> 00:47:00,360 Speaker 1: a twenty two year old Iranian woman was captured the 741 00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: religious police in Iran and was beaten to death for 742 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 1: the crime of not wearing a headscarf. She dared to 743 00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:13,480 Speaker 1: go outside and she wasn't covering her face the way 744 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:18,080 Speaker 1: the Islamic radicals insist, and the religious police arrested her 745 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 1: and beat her to death. Within hours of that happening, 746 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:31,360 Speaker 1: an American journalist on CBS Leslie Stall is sitting there compliantly, 747 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 1: bleeding like a sheep, wearing a headscarf. That's disgusting. Did 748 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:44,800 Speaker 1: she ask about what happened? No? And then the final 749 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:54,560 Speaker 1: bit to end with Ras engaging in Holocaust denial. Well, 750 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:58,200 Speaker 1: historians should debate and examine to see if there's evidence 751 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 1: the Holocaust is one of, if not the most terrific 752 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:06,680 Speaker 1: event in all of human history. The systematic extermination of 753 00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: six million Jews an attempted genocide. You don't think there's evidence, 754 00:48:11,160 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 1: go to Auschwitz, go to the concentration camp, read the 755 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 1: diary of Anne Frank, examine the horror, and to c CBS, 756 00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 1: oh okay, well that's that's of you. Yeah, oh okay, 757 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:31,279 Speaker 1: And and dece to sit there while this monster spews 758 00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:42,040 Speaker 1: anti Semitic filth on CBS. There are not words to 759 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 1: describe the abdication of responsibility. Leslie Stall should be ashamed, 760 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: and CBS should be ashamed that they're willing to kiss 761 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,920 Speaker 1: up to a monster and a tyrant. Not so much 762 00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 1: for a palett cleanser, you know, I guess the President 763 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,600 Speaker 1: of Iran generally is not not much of a palate cleanser. 764 00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:04,360 Speaker 1: Before we go, I know it's a long episode, but 765 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 1: I do want to get to some of our wonderful 766 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,200 Speaker 1: listeners in the mail bag question from Andrew were the 767 00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:15,600 Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard planes a good one time stunt or should 768 00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 1: GOP governors keep up the migrant buses and flights to 769 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: left wing cities as a long term strategy? Keep it 770 00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 1: up over and over and over again. As you know, 771 00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,000 Speaker 1: I introduced legislation to do this a year ago. I've 772 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: been calling on on Republicans to do this a year ago. 773 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:38,520 Speaker 1: I'm very glad Greg Abbott and Ron De Santis took 774 00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,560 Speaker 1: my advice and carried it out. It was the right 775 00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:45,279 Speaker 1: thing to do. It's totally transformed the debate. But rich 776 00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: leftist socialists lost their minds when fifty illegal immigrants showed 777 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,400 Speaker 1: up at Martha's Vineyard tomorrow. We had to send one 778 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 1: hundred the next day we had to send two hundred 779 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 1: and five hundred and a thousand. The volume is so massive, 780 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 1: and and listen the reason to do it. I mean, 781 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,839 Speaker 1: it has been amazing watching the media and all these 782 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 1: blue check mark activists losing their minds and they're saying, oh, 783 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,520 Speaker 1: do Satis and Abbots are engaged in human trafficking. No, 784 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,839 Speaker 1: it's a humanitarian crisis. It is not human trafficking. To 785 00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 1: ask somebody, would you like to go to Martha's Vineyard, 786 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 1: I will fly you for free there. That's not called 787 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: human trafficking, despite all the idiots saying it is also 788 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:33,439 Speaker 1: not cruel and inhumane to take someone to a billionaire's playground. 789 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,279 Speaker 1: Martha's Vineyard is. I've actually never been, so I don't 790 00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:38,879 Speaker 1: really know what Martha's Vineyard is, but from everything I see, 791 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,040 Speaker 1: it's a really fancy place that I know. The Obamas 792 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 1: have a twelve million dollar home there, so it's a 793 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:45,479 Speaker 1: bunch of rich people and it's presumably really during nice. 794 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:51,319 Speaker 1: The reason to send them there is it's about the 795 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,160 Speaker 1: only thing that forces the corrupt corporate media to actually 796 00:50:55,200 --> 00:51:00,640 Speaker 1: cover what's happening, and it also shows the utter hypocrisy 797 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,240 Speaker 1: we talked in the last podcast about how the county 798 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:07,040 Speaker 1: executive in Martha's Vineyard when I proposed this legislation, said 799 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:09,200 Speaker 1: they would welcome the illegal immigrants there. They wanted to 800 00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: be a haven for them. And I didn't know what 801 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 1: I was talking about. There was no border crisis. As 802 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 1: soon as they showed up, Oh crap, they declared a crisis. 803 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 1: But additionally, it forces the Democrats and the media to 804 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: defend their incoherence. What did they do in Martha's Vineyard 805 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:28,320 Speaker 1: within twenty four hours? They put them on buses and 806 00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,800 Speaker 1: shipped them away. Shipped them away to a military base. 807 00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,920 Speaker 1: You know. AOC tweeted out said, shout out to the 808 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,160 Speaker 1: people of Massachusetts and the people of Martha's Vineyard for 809 00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 1: demonstrating the very best of American values. And I did 810 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: something I don't do often. I retweeted AOC, I said, look, well, 811 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:52,960 Speaker 1: what did Martha's Vineyard do? They deported them within twenty 812 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: four hours. I agree, let's emulate Martha's Vineyard. But the 813 00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,800 Speaker 1: very best of American values. I assumed that means Texas 814 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,440 Speaker 1: can do the same thing, and we put them on 815 00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,759 Speaker 1: a bus and ship them back to where they came from. 816 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,200 Speaker 1: Within twenty four hours.
