Another Cover Up-Biden Invokes Executive Privilege on Damning Robert Hur Audio · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The Biden crime family added again with a new cover
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: up and what could have been some of the most
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: damning audio for the President of the United States of America.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: We may now never hear.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It because the White House is saying no executive privilege
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and you can't hear what I actually said.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Key House committee is voting to advance contempt proceedings now
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: against the Attorney General Merrick Garland over the.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Biden audio files.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: We've just learned and a pair of these Republican led
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: House committees voted to advance contempt proceedings against the Attorney
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: General Garland for his refusal now to turn over the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: audio recordings of President Joe Biden's interview with a special
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: counsel Robert Hurr over his classified documents that he had
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: for decades now. The move is a major escalation in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a dispute over the recordings between House Republicans and the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Executive Branch that came after Biden asserted executive privilege over
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: those files. The House Judiciary and Oversight panels both approved
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a report recommending a contempt of Congress resolution against Garland
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: on Thursday for failing to comply with a Congressional subpoena
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that now paves the way for the full House to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: vote on holding the Attorney General in contempt, though it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: not clear when that vote could take place.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Now, why did all of this happen.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: It happened because you have a president of the United
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: States of America that had an interview with her, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we know what her said in the past about this.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Listen as he testified on Capitol Hill.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: So you have audio recording from his ghostwriter where the
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: President acknowledges that the information he has is classified and
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: he's sharing with his ghost riding.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: We have an audio recording capturing a statement from mister
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Biden saying to his ghost writer in February of twenty seventeen, quote,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: I just found all the classified stuff downstairs end quote.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: And then again reciting passages from a meeting in the situation. Yes,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: and those are in President Biden's own words, correct, right,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: So he's again the ghostwriter has no classified No, he
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: has no clearance, no classified clearance to anything. Correct.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: That is our understanding that misters Wantzer was not authorized
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: to receive classified information.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: He wasn't allowed to receive classified information. Now these audio
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: recordings apparently are so damning because they show a president
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America that after doing the investigation,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: they decided couldn't stand trial, so therefore we wouldn't charge
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: him with any charges because they said he's so old
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and senile. Right, He's so old and so senile that
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: no one would convict him and he couldn't stand trial
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: because of that's how old he was. So obviously, there's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: many people there saying, well, shouldn't we be able to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: actually hear these audio recordings of the President of the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: United States of America, And he admitted, as you heard
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: there the former Special Counsel Robert Hurt, we have an
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: audio recording capturing a statement that mister Biden said to
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: his ghostwriter in February seventeen, I just found all the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: classified stuff downstairs, referring to classified documents.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: They've got it all now.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: If you go back in February, the White House spokesman
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Ian Sam's actually bragged about Joe Biden not asserting executive privilege,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: which is exactly what he just did to stop you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: from hearing these audio recordings that would show that the
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: President of the United States of America is probably massively
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: incapacitated during these interviews, and they bragged about it. Right,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: he said, well, we would never do this, We would
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: never ever do this. Listen carefully, the White House bragging
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: about not asserting executive privilege.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Three, he didn't exert executive privilege over any contents of
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: the report.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: He was transparent. He had nothing to hide.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Well, obviously he did. He had the recordings themselves that
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: he was ready to hide. And now we understand that,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: which brings me to the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Mike Johnson has now come out and as he should,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: by the way, and made it clear the President Biden
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: using his executive privilege to keep the American people from
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: hearing audio recordings of his interview with Robert Hurt is
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: flat out wrong and more importantly, it is a cover up.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: But first I want to address the breaking news from
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: this morning. About an hour ago, we learned that President
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: Biden has invoked executive privilege to prevent the American people
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: from hearing the audio recordings of his testimony with Special
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Counsel Robert Hurt. The American people will not be able
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: to hear why prosecutors felt the President of the United
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: States was in special counsel Robert Hurt's words a quote
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: elderly man with a poor memory and thus shouldn't be charged.
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: Just think about that for a moment. President Biden is
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: apparently afraid for the citizens of this country and everyone
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: to hear those tapes. They obviously confirm what the Special
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Council has found and would likely cause I suppose, in
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: his estimation such alarm with the American people that the
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: President is using all of his power to suppress their release.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: And rather than defend our closest ally at war, President
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Biden is using his authority to defend himself politically.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: That is exactly what he's doing.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And the White House is now protecting the President of
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: the United States of America because he has something that
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: he wants to hide from the American people. Now, executive
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: privilege should not apply to this interview.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: And that is part of how why.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: So many people are so mad right now about this,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: because they all understand that this interview is something that
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: the American people should be able to hear. That's why
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: so many people in the media at different news organizations
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: have been demanding the release with Freedom of Information Act
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: to get this interview so that we can hear it now,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: what is the president trying to suppress the release of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: evidence that may hurt Joe Biden politically. This is again
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the latest example of a Justice Department that's incredibly corrupt.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: And will this bring accountability to Joe Biden and his
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: DOJ because they're now trying to cover it up. At
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, I don't think we're going
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: to get to hear this anytime soon.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Let me also remind.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: You of what the President has said in the past
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: about classified documents and then HER's testimony and compare and
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: contrast to it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I did not share classified information. I did not share
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: it with yours, with my ghost write, I did not
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: guarantee you did not.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: We also identified other recorded conversations during which mister Biden
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: read classified information aloud to his ghostwriter.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: There it is the President of the United States of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: America lying to you, the American people, saying I did
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: not share classified information my gross with my ghostwriter.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: That is a lie. Thats a lie.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And now we have recordings that they don't want you
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: to hear, where the Special Counsel Robert hur is saying,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: we have an audio recording capturing Joe Biden saying to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: his ghostwriter that not only did I just find all
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: these classified stuff downstairs, but he was reading it aloud
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to someone that didn't have classified clearance to be read
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: in and or to hear all of this classified information
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: that Joe Biden was apparently giving to his ghost writer.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: The Daily Mail, by the way, said quote Biden forgot
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the year that bo Biden died. That's the other aspect
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of this that you need to understand is that part
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: of this could then just be covering for the president
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: because they don't want you to see just how gone
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: he is mentally incapacitated. He is the fact that Joe
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Biden forgot the year that his son died when Trump
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: was elected, he couldn't remember that from these interviews, from
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: what we understand, and said, I don't recall, I don't remember,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and I have no GD idea more than one hundred times.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: The damning transcript of the Robert Hurd interview revealed that
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that came out Joe Biden not only could he not
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: remember the year son died, and he was often apparently
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: confused by the dates he served as the vice president
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America and about how classified
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: documents ended up in his home, according to the transcript
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of the testimony, and there are more in these tapes
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: apparently that we don't have yet now. According to the
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: transcripts that two day interview I head of hers highly
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: anticipated congressional testimony, Biden brought up Bo's death in the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: context of the book he wrote, published in twenty seventeen.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: What month did Bo die?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Biden asked to himself during the hour long Star sit
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: down in October the eighth, twenty twenty two. My god,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: May thirtieth, he seemingly responded. But the President had to
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: be reminded about the year in which his oldest son
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: died because he could not remember that. A White House
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: attorney stepped in to state that the year of Bo's
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: death was twenty fifteen. Was it twenty fifteen he died?
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Bien again, question out loud. The President then went on
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to ask if Donald Trump was elected in seventeen, to
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: which another White House attorney jumped in to correct our
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: President United States America and say no, no, no, no, that was.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Two thousand and sixteen.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: So the President couldn't even remember when he became president
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Now look it wasn't
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: in these interviews, of these recordings that the White House
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: is now claiming executive privilege, so you can't hear them
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't just the death of his son in
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: that mix up that was a problem. What it also
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: is this, the mix up of bose death date during
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the interview is now directly contradicting Biden's fiery denial that
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it ever occurred, and the White House didn't just double down,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: They tripled down on this. Hours after her put out
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: his scathing report on February the ninth, Biden engaged in
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a furious tirade from the White House, saying I know
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: what the hell I am doing, and insisting that his
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: memory is fine.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: As he described it. That's part of the problem.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: How in the hell Darry raised That is what Biden
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: fumed during the spontaneous press conference when asked about how
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Bau's death came up. Frankly, when I was asked the question,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I thought to myself, it wasn't any of their damn business,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the President said at the time, But the transcript reveals
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: that in fact, it was Biden, not her, who brought
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: up bo in the first place. Biden also was confused
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: about the year in which he served as vice president
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: and asked for assistant recalling other critical dates. When did
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I announce for president, Biden asked, to which her stepped
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: in to say, was it in twenty nineteen. Later in
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the interview, Biden needed clarification on when he departed the
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: VP office as well.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: If it was thirteen, When did I stop being vice president?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Biden asked, twenty seventeen. His attorney replied, so he didn't
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: know when he became the vice president or when he
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: stopped being the vice president, And he didn't know when
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: he ran for president, and he didn't know when he
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: announced he ran president. He didn't know what year he
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: was sworn in as president. Now you understand why they
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: never want you to hear this audio. At another point,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Biden needed helped to confirm that he was serving as
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: vice president in two thousand and nine.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: It's easy, by the way, to keep election years.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: You know, you're elected in eight and then re elected
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in twelve, and then after twelve, that means you leave
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: office in sixteen. Yet the president of the United States
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of America didn't know when he started serving as vice
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: president or when it ended. Quote in two thousand and
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: nine and nine, Am I still vice president?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: He questioned again.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: In addition, the transcript showed that Biden could not recall
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: many details of where the classified documents found his home
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: were stored or what the contents actually were.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Her asked the President about a.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Second cachet of boxes found behind a rocking chair. He
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: responded angrily, I have no gd idea. I didn't even
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: bother to go through them. The President responded. He also
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: could not recall apparently multiple instances where he allegedly pulled
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: out classified documents to discuss those documents with his staff,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: who were not clear to hear them, saying this quote,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I don't recall that, insisted Biden when asked about pulling
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: out information from a binder and sharing it with his team.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: He also told Robert Hurry that he could not remember
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: finding any classified stuff downstairs, despite what he told the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: ghostwriter of his book about classified documents, saying, quote, the
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: only thing I can remember is I wanted to be
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: clear to him that I didn't want what he just
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: heard me say. I didn't want any of that mentioned.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: It was confidential, Biden said during the interview. In addition,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the special prosecutor Her asked how classified materials got into
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: the boxes found in his Delaware garage next to his corvette.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: His response, no, I don't remember how it got.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I don't remember how a beat up box got into
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the garage, Biden replied, irritated. During the interview, he joked
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: around about the FBI's raid of his homes to find
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: classified information, saying, I just hope you didn't find any
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: risky pictures of my wife in a bathing suit, which
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you probably did.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: She's beautiful, he added. He also riff that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: The FBI quote knows my house better than I do,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: when he was being asked about the details of classified
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: materials found scattered around his home. Now, the former Special
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Counsel Robert Hurr gave his testimony to Capitol Hill and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: confirmed everything that I just told you was in the transcript.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Her was appointed, as you know, by the Attorneyinal Merrick
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Garland in January of twenty twenty two to investigate the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: President's handling of classified files based on a range of areas,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: including Afghanistan.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: So what did he say? What did her say about
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: all of this?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Well, her, in his own words, he made it very
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: clear the president of the United States of America. Quote Willfully.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: I want to say that again, Willfully kept classified documents.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It wasn't an accident.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: My team and I conducted a thorough, independent investigation. We
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: identified evidence that the President will bully retained classified materials
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: after the end of his vice presidency when he was
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: a private citizen. This evidence included an audio recorded conversation
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: during which mister Biden told his ghostwriter that he had
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: quote just found all the classified stuff downstairs end quote.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: When mister Biden said this, he was a private citizen
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: speaking to his ghostwriter in his private rental home in Virginia.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: So to be clear, Robert Hurry saying, the President United
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: States of America knew he had these documents. Willfully kept
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: those documents. It wasn't an accident. In other words, it
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: was on purpose. Her left the Justice Department by the
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: way to testify on Capitol Hill, and he made it
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: clear that, yes, the President of the United States of
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: America did break laws. However, we decided not to prosecute
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: President Biden because of Biden's cognitive fitness for office and
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: how the commander in chief wilfully retained those documents. In
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: interviews with investigators quote, Biden became muddled about the dates
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: he was vice president and cannot even remember the year
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: in which his son bo died, and it set his
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: cavalier attitude to classified documents, such as habit of reading
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: sense of files to a ghostwriter, posed a significant national
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: security threat.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: That is what they said.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Robert Hurst said one of the reasons they decided not
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: to press charges was because at trial, quote, mister Biden
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: would likely present himself to a jury as he did
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well meaning elderly.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Man with a poor memory.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: So all you got to do is act like you're
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: old and can't remember anything, and you can get away
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: with stealing classified documents and lying about it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: That's pretty interesting, isn't it. Yes?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: ABC News even they ran this headline transcript from Documents
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: probe contradicts Biden's accounts of exchange with her over son's death.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: So they're even willing to tell you that this actually happened. Again,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: the ex special counsel stands by not charging Joe Biden,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: and is said, all along, I did an investigation. I
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: think he was guilty of keeping classified documents.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: But what am I supposed to do.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: With that, because I know if I charge him, all
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: they're going to do before a jury is say that
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he was a sympathetic, well meaning elderly man with a
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: poor memory, and therefore they would not convict him. So
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: does it really matter? Game over, We don't care anymore.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: We'll just cover up the crimes of the president. Now,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: while all this is happening, I just have to point
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: out something else that's important to me, and that is this.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: If the President of the United States of America, by
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: his own DOJ is described as a senile old man
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: that can't remember anything to the point where he shouldn't
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: be charged with criminal activity because no one would convict
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: him because they feel sorry for him because of how
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: old and senile he is, then why is he running
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: for reelection for another four and a half years as
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: being the president of the United States of America. That's
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: a big question that everybody in this country should be asking.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: If the president is this cognitive, this has this much
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: of a cognitive decline, and what we understand is this
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: audio is so damning they're being forced to say executive
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: privilege is why they can't share it with the American people.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And if that is true, that this audio is in
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: fact that damaging to the president, and that people would
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: look at it, hear it, see it, and just would
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: be like, all right, well, we're out right, like we
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: can't do this anymore. This guy's clearly long gone mentally
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and he shouldn't be president of the United States of America.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Then I go back to what I said earlier.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: It's a president of the United States America that has
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: everybody around him that's protecting him at all costs because
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: they don't want to lose their influence and their power.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: And one of the reason why I say they don't
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: want to lose their influence and their power is because
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: if the president is in fact this compromise cognitively, then
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: everybody else around him that is making the decisions for
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: him has as much power as in essence the president
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Think about that high
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: If you have a president that is incapacitated that you're
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: having to hold his hand, you're having to remind him
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of dates, you're having to remind him of when he
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: was the vice president, you have to remind him when
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: his son died.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: The list goes on and on.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Think about how easy it would be to convince him
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to walk out there and say something that maybe he
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: doesn't even really believe, just because the staff says, we
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: need to just support this bill or this legislation or
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: this foreign policy initiative, like for example, taking your hand
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: off of Israel. Now it should make a whole lot
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: more sense to a lot of you. Yesterday I sat
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: down with centaor Ted Cruz, as many of you know,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I co host a podcast with him, and I asked
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: him what Congress's response is going to be to this
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and holding what it looks like to hold Merrit Garland
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: in contempt if Republicans are able to move forward, and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: is the president in trouble? Will we ever hear this audio?
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: And will we hear it before or after election? A
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: day if we do get to hear it, I want
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: you to hear what Senator Ted Cruz had to say.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Take a listen.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: The excuse for not prosecuting Joe Biden for having classified
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: documents that he'd had for decades right up dating Gaser
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: was that he's just too old and feeble, and we
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: couldn't get a conviction because the excuse would be he's
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: too old to convict and doesn't know what he's doing anymore.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Yet he's the president of the United States of America
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: with the nuclear codes.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly right.
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: So to convict someone of a criminal crime, you've got
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: to make the case that they have the MENSRAA mensrea
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: is the legal term for the intent that they're knowingly
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: and willingly violating the criminal law. What Robert Hurst said
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: is you could not convince a jury that Joe Biden
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: had the mens rea to violate the law, even though
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: he did so repeatedly, knowingly, that he openly, brazenly, shamelessly.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: But what her said is, and by the way, he
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: said this on behalf of the Biden Justice Department. He said,
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: any jury would conclude that the Biden was too old
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: and seni island forgetful, that he could not realize he
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: was committing felonies and so you couldn't prosecute it for him.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: It's amazing that's the excuse for the president of the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: United States of America. Yet he's apparently in good enough
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: shape to run for reelection and be president for another
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: four years.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: Like you mentioned a minute ago, that he has the
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: nuclear codes. Understand the Biden Department of Justice, as publicly
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: maintained to the American people, Joe Biden is not competent
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: to stand trial, and yet he is competent to be
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: the commander in chief to have the nuclear codes. And
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: let's be clear, if Joe Biden tonight decided to annihilate
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: humanity and to fire nuclear weapons at our enemies, he
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: could exterminate human beings from existence. And yet according to
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: the Biden DOJ, he's not competence stand trial.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Only only in Biden's America, as as possible. The Speaker
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: of the House, by the way, he has come out
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and said he is very concerned about this issue as
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: well from the House side.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Here is what he said earlier.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: But first I want to address the breaking news from
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: this morning. About an hour ago, we learned that that
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: President Biden has invoked executive privilege to prevent the American
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: people from hearing the audio recordings of his testimony with
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Special Counsel Robert Hurt. The American people will not be
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: able to hear why prosecutors felt the President of the
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: United States was, in Special Counsel Robert Hirst's words, a
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: quote elderly man with a poor memory and thus shouldn't
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: be charged. Just think about that for a moment. President
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: Biden is apparently afraid for the citizens of this country
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: and everyone to hear those tapes. They obviously confirm what
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: the Special Council has found and would likely cause. I suppose,
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: in his estimation such alarm with the American people that
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: the President is using all of his power to suppress
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: their release, and rather than defend our closest ally at war,
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: President Biden is using his authority to defend himself politically.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, it adds up, doesn't it. It's so damning
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: that we got to do this at all costs. Protect it,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: make sure it never gets out there, make sure we
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: don't see the light of this sees the light of day.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: And the next question his center for you is okay, well,
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: then what happens next on this? Is there a way
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to get these recordings out there?
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: So the Speaker of the House is precisely right. What
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: this tells us is these recordings are bad. They are damning,
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: they are embarrassing. They are the sources of things that
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: if you listen to them, the natural inference from the
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: fact that they're fighting so hard and they're making a
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: demonstrably frivolous legal claim to protect them. It is that
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: the White House has determined, Holy cow, people heard this,
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: they would say, Joe Biden is utterly incompetent to be president.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: That Robert Hurror, the Special counsel, was right, he's not
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: competent to stand trial. If you're not competent to stand trial,
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: you're not competent to be president of the United States.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: You're not competent to be the commander in chief of
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: the United States military.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: And it's not just you're saying what they were talking
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: about on the recording, which would be damning enough on
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the substance and the subject matter, but it's also about
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the incompetency that then can be used against him, and
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the American people would see, basically, pull back the curtain
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: and this is what the guy running your country really
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: is like?
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Right now? Are you going to give him a chance
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: to run it for another four years? Right?
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: Look, My assumption is the audio is incredibly damning. Remember
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: we talked about when Robert Hurr was appointed. Robert Hurr
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: had been the right hand to Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: Attorney General who had been Barack Obama's US attorney in Maryland.
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: Rod Rosenstein is responsible for much of the abuse of
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: power we saw in the DOJ. He's responsible for appointing
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: Robert Muller to and as the Special Counsel to investigate Russia, Russia, Russia.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: And when Robert Hurr was first appointed, we said, look,
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: what will reveal whether mister Hurr is actually doing his
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: job is whether he's willing to go after Joe Biden.
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: If he just if he walls off any evidence of
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: criminality from Joe Biden, that will be an incredibly damning conclusion. Now,
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: I will say his report was frankly better than you
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: and I expected, because his report on its face concluded, yes,
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: Joe Biden is a criminal. He's a felon. He violated
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: the criminal law over and over and over again. He
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: knew he was violating, he said he was violating, he
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: didn't care, he was brazen. But then the reason that
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: mister Hirst said he was not going to recommend charges
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: against Joe Biden exactly like the charges that were being
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: brought against Donald Trump for the same offense, is because
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: he said Joe Biden's not competent to stand trial. Now,
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: Democrats were horrified at the second part of that conclusion
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: because they're like, no, don't reveal, pay no attention to
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: the man behind the curtain, do not reveal that the
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: Wizard of Oz is a fake and a fraud. Now, listen,
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: you and I have talked about We're three and a
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: half years into the Biden presidency. You know how many
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: times I've talked to Joe Biden since he became president.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's still zero zero, not one. And that's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: not normal. So people understand how it normally works. It
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: is absolutely weird and bizarre. When Barack Obama was president,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I talked to him regularly. When Donald Trump was president,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I talk to him every week and sometimes every day.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: And I got to say, it is an amazing thing.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: And by the way, you might say, Okay, Cruz, he's
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: a right winger. Maybe just Biden doesn't talk to him.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Biden has talked to virtually zero Republican senators. Is that
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: because they're hiding him from I'm being serious, because they say,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: you guy, it's better to it's better to protect him
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: and shield him from y'all so that you don't understand
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: how diminished he is.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: Is that part of it? Absolutely? So listen, the Republican Senators.
• 27:59
  Speaker 6: We have launch to get every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday,
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: so three days a week we have lunch together. We
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: talk regularly at lunch about how weird it is that
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: none of us have talked to Joe Biden. Actually, there's
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: an interesting story. We were sitting there at lunch talking
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: and the only center at the table with me who
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: had spoken with Joe Biden was John Kennedy. John is
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: a great friend. He's a fantastic guy, amazing sense of humor.
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: John told the story at lunch. He said, listen, I
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: spoke with Biden once and it was fairly early on
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: in the Biden presidency. And there was a bill that
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: John had authored that passed, and it was a bipartisan bill.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: And John said, look, they wanted to do a signing
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: ceremony in the Oval office, you know, presumably to show
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: they were bipartisan. Look what we're doing together in this
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: great and so John said, he went to that signing ceremony.
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: He was in the Oval and he said, Biden in
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: the middle of the conversations, in the middle of the
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: signing ceremony, struck up a conversation with John, and Biden said, hey, Hey, John,
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: have you ever been to the cabinet room? And John
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: Kennedy being John Kennedy, he said, I lied, and I
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: said no, and Biden immediately says, well, come on, let
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: me take you over there. So he goes over to
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: the cabinet room and John said, Biden begins telling war
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: stories and they were from forty or fifty years ago,
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: and he's just talking about things that happened decades ago,
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: and he's telling it, telling him on and on and on,
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: and the Biden White House staff is freaking out and
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: they're going, miss President, as President, you need to go,
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: you need to go to your next meeting. They were
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: really worried that Biden is talking to John Kennedy, and
• 29:39
  Speaker 6: Biden apparently like gave him the back of the hand
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: and said, shut up, I'm telling stories. And Kennedy said
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: that Biden spent forty five minutes telling war stories and
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: it was like it was like your grandfather reliving World
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: War Two. Yeah, but that is and it's worth noting,
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: by the way, all of us know Joe Biden, remember
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: he was a man of the Senate. He spent forty
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: years in the Senate. Joe Biden swore me into the Senate.
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: When I was first elected in twenty twelve, the person
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: who delivered my oath of office was Joe Biden. So it
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: is weird that the White House staff keeps him hidden
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: from us. And the natural assumption is that his mental
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: diminishment is so great that they cannot let him speak
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: to us. And so you put that in the context
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: of this Robert Hurr interview. Understand the claim of executive
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: privilege is absurd because Robert Hurr was not meeting with
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: him as a subservient employee discussing the administration's policy. Rather,
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: Robert Hurr was appointed as a special counsel to investigate
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: did the President commit criminal conduct? By the way he concluded,
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: the answer is yes.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: Don't forget Share this podcast please on social media wherever
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: you are, and if you would write us a five
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: star review wherever you're listening, it helps us tremendously reach
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: a new audience. And we'll see you back here tomorrow morning.
