Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: You knew exactly what that meant. A child knows what that.
- 0:04Speaker 1: If you're the FBI director and you don't know what
- 0:07Speaker 1: that meant, that meant assassination. And it says it loud
- 0:11Speaker 1: and clear. Now, he wasn't very confident, but he was
- 0:15Speaker 1: confident enough to know what that meant. And when you
- 0:19Speaker 1: add his history to that, if he had a clean history,
- 0:22Speaker 1: he doesn't. He's a dirty pup.
- 0:24Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
- 0:28Speaker 3: Good Monday morning. It's nice to have you with us
- 0:30Speaker 3: on the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got three
- 0:32Speaker 3: blockbuster stories for you. First up, Joe Biden announces the
- 0:37Speaker 3: diagnosis of prostate cancer. When did this happen and was
- 0:41Speaker 3: there actually a cover up to conceal it from you,
- 0:44Speaker 3: the American voter. We'll have the latest on that in
- 0:46Speaker 3: just a second. Up next, the her audio has finally
- 0:49Speaker 3: been released, and it's more damning than we could have
- 0:52Speaker 3: ever imagined, as the cognitive decline of the president was
- 0:56Speaker 3: on full display, and now we understand why they blocked
- 0:59Speaker 3: it from you ever we're hearing it until now. And finally,
- 1:02Speaker 3: the new book that is out as saying that Joe
- 1:05Speaker 3: Biden wasn't actually the president of the United States of America.
- 1:08Speaker 3: In fact, there's now new accusations that there was five
- 1:11Speaker 3: different people that we're running the country. We'll have the
- 1:15Speaker 3: details on that as well. Now, before we get to that,
- 1:18Speaker 3: I want to talk to you real quick about the
- 1:20Speaker 3: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Most of us, when
- 1:23Speaker 3: we go to bed at night, we don't have to
- 1:24Speaker 3: worry about there being an explosion that awakes us in
- 1:27Speaker 3: the middle of the evening. We climb into our beds,
- 1:30Speaker 3: we turn off the lights, and we sleep in relative safety.
- 1:33Speaker 3: But the people of Israel are facing NonStop threats on
- 1:37Speaker 3: seven different fronts. They do have a red alert system
- 1:41Speaker 3: to warn of incoming attacks, and last month, red alerts
- 1:44Speaker 3: blared nearly fifty times every single day, something we can't
- 1:49Speaker 3: imagine living with. The toll on families and first responders
- 1:53Speaker 3: is brutal, and right now, Israel's first responders are facing
- 1:57Speaker 3: an urgent need. Life saving supplies are running low, and
- 2:01Speaker 3: that's why the work of the International Fellowship of Christians
- 2:03Speaker 3: and Jews is so critical. Your gift of only one
- 2:06Speaker 3: hundred and fifty dollars will help provide first responders with helmets,
- 2:10Speaker 3: flat jackets, medical rescue bags, and even armored service vehicles
- 2:15Speaker 3: to keep people alive. Your gift is urgently needed, and
- 2:19Speaker 3: if you want to stand with the people of Israel,
- 2:21Speaker 3: you can call eight to eight four eight eight IFCJ.
- 2:26Speaker 3: That's eight eight eight four eight eight four three two five.
- 2:30Speaker 3: You can also give securely online at IFCJ dot org.
- 2:35Speaker 3: That's if CJ dot org. It's the forty seven Morning
- 2:40Speaker 3: Update and it starts right now, story number one. In
- 2:43Speaker 3: a shocking statement coming from the Biden family, former President
- 2:47Speaker 3: Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that is
- 2:51Speaker 3: characterized by a glease And score of nine, his office
- 2:54Speaker 3: revealed in a statement on Sunday. In the press release
- 2:58Speaker 3: from Biden's personal office feel that while Biden's prostate cancer
- 3:02Speaker 3: represents a quote more aggressive form of the disease, the
- 3:05Speaker 3: former President's cancer appears to be hormone sensitive, saying this
- 3:10Speaker 3: last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new
- 3:13Speaker 3: finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.
- 3:18Speaker 3: On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer characterized by
- 3:22Speaker 3: a Gleason score of nine grade group five, which metastasized
- 3:27Speaker 3: to the bone. While this represents a more aggressive form
- 3:31Speaker 3: of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone sensitive,
- 3:34Speaker 3: which allows for effective management. The president is family are
- 3:38Speaker 3: reviewing treatment options with his physicians now. The President's statement
- 3:43Speaker 3: is one that has a lot of people talking because
- 3:46Speaker 3: traditionally it takes a significant amount of time for this
- 3:49Speaker 3: type of cancer to get to this point where it
- 3:52Speaker 3: is actually metastasizing to the bone, and many doctors are
- 3:56Speaker 3: now asking the question, when did they know this and
- 3:59Speaker 3: what were they hiding from the American people. Now. I
- 4:02Speaker 3: want to be clear, my thoughts and prayers are with
- 4:04Speaker 3: President Joe Biden, as I'm sure yours are as well.
- 4:08Speaker 3: But we also know that the same people that are
- 4:10Speaker 3: around Joe Biden now were the same ones that lied
- 4:13Speaker 3: and covered up his cognitive decline. And the question everyone
- 4:16Speaker 3: should be asking is did he really just find out
- 4:19Speaker 3: about this or were the people around him making sure
- 4:23Speaker 3: the American people didn't know about it from the very beginning. Unfortunately,
- 4:27Speaker 3: is because of their actions on the President's cognitive decline
- 4:31Speaker 3: that we have to ask these types of questions. There
- 4:33Speaker 3: are also many doctors that are putting out different things
- 4:36Speaker 3: on social media about this type of cancer. For example,
- 4:40Speaker 3: one doctor online said it this way, Prostate cancer is
- 4:44Speaker 3: the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and
- 4:48Speaker 3: to watch its progress to bone metastasis. The PSA blood
- 4:52Speaker 3: test shows the rate of cancer cell growth. For even
- 4:55Speaker 3: with the most aggressive form, it is a five to
- 4:58Speaker 3: seven year journey without treatment before it becomes metastasized, meaning
- 5:04Speaker 3: it would be malpractice for this patient to show up
- 5:07Speaker 3: and be first diagnosed with a metasticized disease in May
- 5:11Speaker 3: of twenty twenty five. It is highly likely we are
- 5:14Speaker 3: carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House
- 5:19Speaker 3: tenure and the American people were uninformed. Now, there wouldn't
- 5:23Speaker 3: be this type of conversation if it wasn't for the
- 5:26Speaker 3: massive cover up of President Joe Biden's cognitive decline, especially
- 5:30Speaker 3: in a new book which we'll talk about in a moment,
- 5:32Speaker 3: that is saying that Joe Biden's decline was being covered
- 5:35Speaker 3: up before he even became president. One thing that is
- 5:39Speaker 3: for sure is Donald Trump's words that he used in
- 5:42Speaker 3: his post saying quote, Malanie and I are saddened to
- 5:45Speaker 3: hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis extender warmus and
- 5:49Speaker 3: best wishes to Joe and the family, and we wish
- 5:52Speaker 3: Joe a fast and successful recovery. I couldn't agree more
- 5:56Speaker 3: with President Donald Trump. But this doesn't mean that we
- 5:59Speaker 3: cannot ask questions about if this diagnosis had actually been
- 6:03Speaker 3: concealed from the American people so that the Democrats could
- 6:06Speaker 3: try to win the last election. Unfortunately, if you're not
- 6:10Speaker 3: happy with this question being asked, it may be because
- 6:13Speaker 3: you were helping cover up the Cogniti decline of Joe Biden.
- 6:16Speaker 3: As I mentioned earlier. Next story number two, we exclusively
- 6:20Speaker 3: now have the prosecutor's audio of the tapes where Joe
- 6:24Speaker 3: Biden was being asked questions about classified documents and where
- 6:29Speaker 3: they were stored. What it revealed is even more shocking
- 6:32Speaker 3: than I could have imagined. Now we understand exactly why
- 6:36Speaker 3: the DOJ and Joe Biden's team went to make sure
- 6:38Speaker 3: you never heard any of this. Yes, some of the
- 6:42Speaker 3: transcripts were released, but it did not put into context
- 6:46Speaker 3: just how long some of the stalls and pauses and
- 6:49Speaker 3: meandering was during the interview. Axios obtained the audio of
- 6:54Speaker 3: Robert Hurris's twenty twenty three interview of Joe Biden, which
- 6:58Speaker 3: show repeated massive mental lapses as he struggled to remember
- 7:03Speaker 3: words and dates amid long, uncomfortable pauses. Biden's White House
- 7:07Speaker 3: didn't release it last year, and now we know exactly why.
- 7:12Speaker 3: Here is one example of just how bad it was
- 7:15Speaker 3: for Joe Biden when he was asked a simple question
- 7:18Speaker 3: that he never answered about where he was keeping these documents,
- 7:23Speaker 3: and instead the president rambled for more than four minutes.
- 7:27Speaker 3: Not only that, his team even said maybe we should
- 7:30Speaker 3: take a break, and Joe Biden didn't seem to get
- 7:33Speaker 3: the clue that it was time for him to stop
- 7:35Speaker 3: the bleeding.
- 7:36Speaker 4: During Chambers Road and.
- 7:39Speaker 5: Or got into the head Biden Center, the Biden answer
- 7:46Speaker 5: your book, where did you keep peepers that lad to
- 7:53Speaker 5: those things that you were actively working?
- 7:59Speaker 4: Well, I I I I I I don't know. This
- 8:06Speaker 4: is what twenty seventeen eighteen, that period is.
- 8:13Speaker 6: Remember in this time frame, my son is uh either
- 8:20Speaker 6: been deployed or is dying and UH, and so if
- 8:30Speaker 6: it was UH. And by the way, there were still
- 8:34Speaker 6: a lot of people at the time when I got
- 8:37Speaker 6: out of the sender that were encouraging me to run
- 8:44Speaker 6: in this period, UH, except the president.
- 8:48Speaker 4: I'm not being They're not a mean thing to say.
- 8:51Speaker 5: Man.
- 8:51Speaker 6: He just thought that she had a better shot of
- 8:55Speaker 6: winning the president than I did.
- 8:58Speaker 4: And so I hadn't. I hadn't at this point, you don't.
- 9:01Speaker 4: I'm a band.
- 9:02Speaker 6: I hadn't walked away from the idea that I might
- 9:05Speaker 6: run for office again if our rant agend been running
- 9:08Speaker 6: for president and uh, and so.
- 9:14Speaker 4: What was happening though, when when bot die uh got
- 9:19Speaker 4: mayed thirtyears?
- 9:21Speaker 6: Uh in twenty eighteen, when the twenty fifteen and died
- 9:25Speaker 6: May twenty fifteen, maybe it's twenty fifteen or eat that.
- 9:28Speaker 4: Much of the months or when he goes here? That's right,
- 9:31Speaker 4: That's that's it. And what's happened in the meantime is
- 9:38Speaker 4: that UH.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Has and.
- 9:45Speaker 6: Trump gets elected in November of twenty seventeen, twenty sixteen, sixteen,
- 9:50Speaker 6: twenty sixteen.
- 9:51Speaker 4: Alright, so you wanna have twenty seventeen years. That's when
- 9:59Speaker 4: you left off it. Uh in January time said okay,
- 10:06Speaker 4: but that's when something had sworn in at the right hand,
- 10:09Speaker 4: would right?
- 10:09Speaker 5: Quite?
- 10:10Speaker 4: Kay, athlete and uh in twenty seventeen.
- 10:17Speaker 6: Bow had passed and uh, man, it.
- 10:25Speaker 4: Is this personal.
- 10:31Speaker 6: The genesis of the book, and the title promised me
- 10:37Speaker 6: Dad was a Uh. I know they're all close to
- 10:45Speaker 6: your sons and daughters, but.
- 10:48Speaker 5: Bo is.
- 10:51Speaker 4: Like my right arm, and that was my last.
- 10:54Speaker 6: These guys were a year and a day apart, and
- 10:57Speaker 6: they could finish each other's sentences. And bo I used
- 11:05Speaker 6: to go home on the train and if period.
- 11:16Speaker 4: That I was still in the sentence.
- 11:21Speaker 6: Anyway, do you remember there was pressure, not pressure. BO
- 11:33Speaker 6: knew how much I knew around and uh, and it
- 11:41Speaker 6: sounds maybe it sounds so everybody knew how close you were.
- 11:46Speaker 6: I mean there was not anybody knew would to wonder
- 11:50Speaker 6: whether or not anyway, And so I wonder you a break, No,
- 11:59Speaker 6: I let me just keep.
- 12:01Speaker 3: After her report was released, the White House went into
- 12:05Speaker 3: full attack mode. Joe Biden slammed her for asking about
- 12:09Speaker 3: when bo died. The Vice President Kamala Harris went out
- 12:13Speaker 3: and had a press conference slamming anyone that said that
- 12:16Speaker 3: there was a cognitive decline of Joe Biden. What we
- 12:18Speaker 3: now know is her was respectful, kind, and almost clearly
- 12:22Speaker 3: felt sorry for the President of the United States of America.
- 12:25Speaker 3: And when he said he wasn't going to charge Joe
- 12:27Speaker 3: Biden because no jury would find him guilty because of
- 12:30Speaker 3: his massive cognitive decline. We now understand he wasn't lying
- 12:35Speaker 3: at all. And the big question now is who was
- 12:38Speaker 3: actually running the country. And here is story number three.
- 12:41Speaker 3: The Atlantic has come out with a new article entitled
- 12:45Speaker 3: an Autopsy Report on Biden's in office decline. The headline
- 12:50Speaker 3: reads this way about the new book Original Sin. That
- 12:54Speaker 3: book says this, five people were running the country and
- 12:58Speaker 3: Joe Biden is at best a senior member of the board. Now,
- 13:03Speaker 3: this new book that has come out, Jake Tapper is
- 13:06Speaker 3: one of the authors of it from CNN is now
- 13:09Speaker 3: describing a presidency without a president, where there were five people,
- 13:15Speaker 3: none of them actually named in this book, who were
- 13:18Speaker 3: running the country and calling all of the shots. We
- 13:22Speaker 3: also are now learning that the cognitive decline of the
- 13:24Speaker 3: president was massive even before he became president of the
- 13:29Speaker 3: United States of America. For example, three years later, on
- 13:32Speaker 3: the presidential campaign trail, Biden's struggles became more obvious to
- 13:37Speaker 3: those around him. Tapper and Thompson report in twenty twenty,
- 13:41Speaker 3: for example, members of Biden's inner circle gave the candidate
- 13:44Speaker 3: a teleprompter with scripted questions for a local news interview
- 13:49Speaker 3: his dwindling communicative and cognitive abilities. Aids were shocked as
- 13:54Speaker 3: they said they couldn't rely on Biden to stay on
- 13:57Speaker 3: message and he often had a very short attention. The
- 14:00Speaker 3: book's most astounding, previously unreported story from Biden's twenty twenty
- 14:06Speaker 3: campaign concerns his staff's attempts to create videos of the
- 14:11Speaker 3: candidates speaking to voters over zoom Tapper and Thompson's description
- 14:15Speaker 3: of this is worth quoting at length, saying this, Biden
- 14:19Speaker 3: would sit in a room with several monitors beaming the
- 14:21Speaker 3: faces of real Americans in front of him so they
- 14:24Speaker 3: could discuss issues of importance. You have to remember this
- 14:27Speaker 3: was during the time of COVID. The videos came back
- 14:31Speaker 3: hours of footage. Some on the team couldn't believe their eyes.
- 14:36Speaker 3: The videos were horrible. One top Democrat said he couldn't
- 14:40Speaker 3: follow the conversation at all. I couldn't believe it set
- 14:44Speaker 3: a second Democrat who hadn't seen Biden in a few years.
- 14:47Speaker 3: It was like a different person. It was incredible. This
- 14:51Speaker 3: was like watching Grandpa who shouldn't be driving. Yes, they're
- 14:55Speaker 3: referring to Joe Biden when he was running for president.
- 14:58Speaker 3: In twenty twenty, special team was brought in and told
- 15:01Speaker 3: to edit the videos down to make them arable, if
- 15:05Speaker 3: only a few minutes worth. They had to get quote creative.
- 15:08Speaker 3: The authors go on to write, edited the videos likely
- 15:12Speaker 3: appeared fine the viewers, Biden no worse than any other
- 15:15Speaker 3: senior on Zoom, but two of the Democrats who were
- 15:18Speaker 3: involved in the film's production together were dumbfounded, saying, quote,
- 15:22Speaker 3: I didn't think he could be president. The second Democrats said,
- 15:26Speaker 3: after what they'd seen, they couldn't understand how Biden could
- 15:29Speaker 3: be capable of doing the job. And that's not the
- 15:32Speaker 3: only thing that apparently is being revealed in this book
- 15:35Speaker 3: that comes out on Tuesday. Another example of just how
- 15:39Speaker 3: bad things were quote in twenty twenty two, according to
- 15:42Speaker 3: one witness, Biden found himself unable to remember the names
- 15:47Speaker 3: of his own national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, Steve he
- 15:51Speaker 3: called him at least twice, or his communications director Kate Bettingfield,
- 15:57Speaker 3: whom Biden once resorted to callings. That's not the only
- 16:01Speaker 3: thing that we learned from this book and the excerpts.
- 16:04Speaker 3: As some high ranking Democrats quoted anonymously in the book
- 16:07Speaker 3: put it to Tapar and Thompson. After Biden's disaster's debate
- 16:11Speaker 3: with Trump last June, they said, quote, just who the
- 16:14Speaker 3: hell is running the country? Question mark. At least one
- 16:18Speaker 3: unnamed source close to the Biden administration was willing to
- 16:21Speaker 3: provide the authors with an answer. And this is the
- 16:24Speaker 3: part that should make every American angry. Quote. Five people
- 16:29Speaker 3: were running the country, the insider said, seemingly referring to
- 16:32Speaker 3: the president's close as advisors, and Joe Biden was at
- 16:36Speaker 3: best a senior member of the board. Near the end
- 16:39Speaker 3: of the book, Tappar and Thompson offer a glimpse into
- 16:42Speaker 3: how powerful Democrats responded, for example, to the grim spectacle
- 16:47Speaker 3: of Biden's early summer face off with Trump. The authors
- 16:51Speaker 3: described as seeing at the home of James Costos, an
- 16:54Speaker 3: ambassador to Spain under Obama, where celebrities and politicians gathered
- 16:59Speaker 3: to watch the debate eight As a dodoring Biden tanked
- 17:02Speaker 3: on stage in front of some fifty million Americans, the
- 17:05Speaker 3: film director and Democratic donor Rob Reiner became scared, then furious, saying, quote,
- 17:11Speaker 3: We're going to lose our effing democracy because of you.
- 17:14Speaker 3: He screamed, seeming to direct his ear at the closest
- 17:18Speaker 3: thing to a Biden official in the room, who was
- 17:20Speaker 3: it the second gentleman, Doug Enhoff. What Reiner apparently failed
- 17:25Speaker 3: to consider, but what original sin the book prompts readers
- 17:28Speaker 3: to ask is whether America's democracy was already meaningfully diminished.
- 17:33Speaker 3: Describing how some in Biden's world justified propping him up
- 17:37Speaker 3: for reelection in twenty twenty four, a longtime aide told
- 17:41Speaker 3: Tapper and Thompson quote, he just had to win and
- 17:45Speaker 3: then he could disappear for four years. He'd only have
- 17:48Speaker 3: to show proof of life every once in a while.
- 17:51Speaker 3: In other words, before Biden stepped down from the race,
- 17:54Speaker 3: the plan for some aid seemed to be the weekend
- 17:57Speaker 3: at Bernie's, a cognitively impaired president, in the hopes that,
- 18:01Speaker 3: upon winning a second term, he could be hidden from
- 18:04Speaker 3: the public while unelected staff took care of the real
- 18:08Speaker 3: business of governing. When you vote for somebody, you're voting
- 18:12Speaker 3: for the people around them too. This aid offered as
- 18:14Speaker 3: a way of justifying what was, by any reasonable metric,
- 18:18Speaker 3: an effort to undermine democracy and defraud the American people. So, yes,
- 18:24Speaker 3: the cover up was massive. Yes we had someone running
- 18:27Speaker 3: the country or a group of people that were elected
- 18:29Speaker 3: by no one and now the question is what is
- 18:32Speaker 3: Congress going to do about it? And will there be
- 18:34Speaker 3: an investigation. We'll keep covering it right here.
