"DAMNIT! I Did It Again!" Biden Finds More Classified Docs · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome its verdict or Senator Ted Cruz ben Ferguson with
0:04
Speaker 1: your senator over under. I wish we would have made
0:07
Speaker 1: a bet here. I would have lost the bet. I
0:10
Speaker 1: would have said, there's no way the DJ the FBI
0:12
Speaker 1: would quasi raid the home of a sitting president. They
0:18
Speaker 1: did it. They found more classified documents. Apparently these documents
0:23
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden had as Delaware home date back to
0:26
Speaker 1: the time when he was the not just the vice president,
0:29
Speaker 1: but when he was a senator. How shocked are you
0:32
Speaker 1: by this? It's stunning. Every day it keeps getting worse
0:38
Speaker 1: and worse and worse for Joe Biden at this point.
0:41
Speaker 1: It's a level of incompetence that is not just Look,
0:46
Speaker 1: we know that Joe Biden is mister Magoo, and for
0:48
Speaker 1: those of you who are younger than forty years old,
0:52
Speaker 1: mister McGoo was an old cartoon of a guy that
0:54
Speaker 1: was basically blind and addle headed. And Joe Biden is
0:58
Speaker 1: as addle headed as any president we've scene, but even
1:01
Speaker 1: addle headed. Good God, is there a place this man
1:04
Speaker 1: didn't leave classified documents? He sticks it in his corvette,
1:08
Speaker 1: he sticks it in the room by his corvette, he
1:10
Speaker 1: sticks it in his home residence, he sticks it in
1:13
Speaker 1: the Penn Library. He sticks yet more in his home residence.
1:16
Speaker 1: I mean, this is really at this point it's Keystone Cops.
1:19
Speaker 1: And there are several major developments in the last couple
1:25
Speaker 1: of days. One, this latest search was done by the
1:30
Speaker 1: FBI at the request of the Department of Justice. The
1:34
Speaker 1: FBI went to Biden's home, spent the entire day searching
1:39
Speaker 1: Biden's primary residence in Wilmington, Delaware, and they found six
1:44
Speaker 1: more batches of documents. It's not clear those six whether
1:47
Speaker 1: you're talking about six pages or six hundred pages, because
1:51
Speaker 1: they haven't specified, but six collections of documents that are
1:56
Speaker 1: marked classified within those Now we know that the FBI
2:02
Speaker 1: spent the entire day searching us home. We know that
2:06
Speaker 1: at the same time that was happening, the White House
2:09
Speaker 1: Press Secretary was dodging questions. So that same weekend, Biden
2:14
Speaker 1: went to his beach house and Rehoboath's beach, and he
2:17
Speaker 1: was asked, well, why is he going to Rehoboth's beach.
2:19
Speaker 1: It's cold, it's not beach weather, And the White House
2:21
Speaker 1: refused to answer those questions. And it turns out the
2:24
Speaker 1: reason is, well, the g men are rummaging through his
2:27
Speaker 1: house in Wilmington, so apparently he's got to go somewhere else.
2:30
Speaker 1: So the Biden White House was less than honest with
2:34
Speaker 1: the press corps, less than honest with the American people
2:37
Speaker 1: in explaining why he wasn't going to his residence. The
2:40
Speaker 1: answer was because the FBI is searching it right now.
2:44
Speaker 1: And then on top of that, you have the piece
2:46
Speaker 1: that we now know at least some of these documents
2:50
Speaker 1: are from his Senate tenure. And I got to say
2:53
Speaker 1: that is really stunning, because look, good faith for everybody
2:57
Speaker 1: listening right now, we talked about the skiff, We talked
3:01
Speaker 1: about classified documents. You went into great detail about classified
3:06
Speaker 1: documents and how it works when you're in the Senate.
3:08
Speaker 1: Go back to that episode, listen to it because you
3:12
Speaker 1: went into great detail basically about how this works for
3:17
Speaker 1: every senator, what the rules are, And go back and
3:20
Speaker 1: listen to that episode. And before we get to the
3:23
Speaker 1: shocking point of him actually having these documents, I want
3:25
Speaker 1: to remind everybody two things. One makes you share a

4:36
Speaker 1: the classified documents, the fact that you had these from
4:38
Speaker 1: back when he was a senator. This is not normal,
4:41
Speaker 1: and people need to understand keeping those documents for ten
4:45
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years. We don't know what point in his
4:48
Speaker 1: senate you know, career, these he had these documents. But
4:51
Speaker 1: that's not something that you're supposed to ever do. Yeah,
4:54
Speaker 1: and let me explain the day to day, which is,
4:57
Speaker 1: I've been in the Senate now ten years. I have
4:59
Speaker 1: read a lot of classified documents. I've been in a
5:01
Speaker 1: lot of classified briefings. Every single classified document I've ever
5:05
Speaker 1: read for the entire ten years i've been in the Senate,
5:08
Speaker 1: I've done it all in the same place, which is
5:10
Speaker 1: there is what's called a skiff, a secure compartmentalized facility.
5:17
Speaker 1: It is underground. It is way way down in the
5:19
Speaker 1: basement of the Capitol. You go down, you go down,
5:22
Speaker 1: you go down, you go in. You go in these
5:23
Speaker 1: big steel doors. When you go in, it's actually kind
5:26
Speaker 1: of fun because as you're walking to it, the reporters
5:28
Speaker 1: will follow you and they're asking a questions. They're asking
5:30
Speaker 1: you questions, and then you get when you get to
5:32
Speaker 1: the doors that are the entrance to it, all the
5:34
Speaker 1: reporters have to drop off because they're not allowed in there.
5:37
Speaker 1: You go through a long hallway. It feels kind of
5:39
Speaker 1: like Get Smart, if you remember the opening of Get Smart.
5:41
Speaker 1: You walk through it's one set of doors, that another
5:43
Speaker 1: set of doors. You walk through a long hallway. The
5:46
Speaker 1: hallway has all these posters on the wall, and they're
5:50
Speaker 1: like World War two era posters of somebody leaked and
5:56
Speaker 1: people died, and their cartoon drawings of people dying because
5:59
Speaker 1: somebody leaked classified information. That's covering the walls. As you
6:03
Speaker 1: come in, they ask you for all your electronics. So
6:07
Speaker 1: you give them your cell phone, You give them your
6:10
Speaker 1: AirPods if you have them, You give them your fitbit,
6:13
Speaker 1: you give anything that is electronic. You hand it to
6:16
Speaker 1: them and it stays outside the skiff. And so you
6:18
Speaker 1: go into the skiff, which is a there actually a
6:21
Speaker 1: whole series of there's a big hearing room in there.
6:24
Speaker 1: There are a couple of conference rooms. There's some smaller
6:26
Speaker 1: rooms that have secure telephones, so if you're having a
6:29
Speaker 1: conversation with the CIA or the FBI or someone that's
6:32
Speaker 1: dealing with classified information, you can do it the secure
6:35
Speaker 1: call there. And then they're just reading rooms. Will you'll
6:38
Speaker 1: go in and whatever document you've requested, they'll have it there.
6:42
Speaker 1: They hand it to you, and you have to sign
6:43
Speaker 1: out for it, so you know, you get a particular
6:45
Speaker 1: secure document, you know, proof that Martians are are living
6:50
Speaker 1: right now in the Bill Clinton residence. I'm just saying
6:53
Speaker 1: that hypothetically that I'm not revealing anything, but they're really,
6:57
Speaker 1: really pretty Martians. You sign out that document, you put
7:03
Speaker 1: your name on it, you put your date, you put
7:04
Speaker 1: the time. You go into the little room and you
7:07
Speaker 1: sit there and read. And sometimes you read for five
7:09
Speaker 1: minutes if it's a quick little document. Sometimes you'll read
7:11
Speaker 1: for hours. I've sat there and spent a long long
7:14
Speaker 1: time reading through long, detailed documents. When you're done with it,
7:20
Speaker 1: you walk back up to the front counter. You give
7:22
Speaker 1: them back the document, and they sign it back in,
7:25
Speaker 1: They put the time back in, and so that every
7:29
Speaker 1: single time I have read a classified document in the
7:32
Speaker 1: United States Senate, that's how I've done it. What I
7:34
Speaker 1: have never done I've never read a classified document in
7:37
Speaker 1: my office. Why is that Because my office is not
7:40
Speaker 1: a secure space, it's not a skiff, and so it's
7:42
Speaker 1: not legal to read a classified document in my office.
7:46
Speaker 1: I've never had a classified document in my car. Why
7:49
Speaker 1: because it's not a secure place and it's not legal.
7:51
Speaker 1: I've never had a classified document in my home in Houston.
7:53
Speaker 1: I've never had a classified document in my apartment in DC,
7:57
Speaker 1: again because it's not a secure space. All right, but
8:00
Speaker 1: hold on, have you ever had a classified document in
8:02
Speaker 1: your garage next to your car? And sadly, I've never
8:05
Speaker 1: had a vintage corvette. I'm clearly not living a full life.
8:09
Speaker 1: It's so the fact that it is from his Senate tenure. Now, look,
8:15
Speaker 1: I suppose he might try some defense. So Biden was
8:18
Speaker 1: for a number of years the chairman of the Senate
8:20
Speaker 1: Foreign Relations Committee. As chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee,
8:24
Speaker 1: you read a fair number of classified documents. Well, you
8:26
Speaker 1: know what, I'm on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I
8:29
Speaker 1: read many of those same documents. You don't take him
8:32
Speaker 1: out of the skiff. I've been on the Judiciary Committee
8:34
Speaker 1: for ten years. You don't take classified documents out of
8:37
Speaker 1: the skiff. I've been I was for six years on
8:40
Speaker 1: the Senate Armed Services Committee. You don't take classified documents
8:44
Speaker 1: out of the skiff. And so the fact that Biden
8:48
Speaker 1: had numerous classified documents from his Senate tenure at his
8:52
Speaker 1: home in Wilmington, Delaware, means presumably he took them out
8:57
Speaker 1: of the skiff. I don't know if they were in
8:59
Speaker 1: his office, I don't know where they were, but they
9:01
Speaker 1: ended up in his private house unsecured. That's a big deal,
9:06
Speaker 1: and it's a fundamentally different situation than being in the
9:10
Speaker 1: executive branch because I'm not aware of any senator who
9:15
Speaker 1: does that, and certainly not any senator who does that
9:18
Speaker 1: legally without knowing that they are breaking the law. You
9:21
Speaker 1: don't take a classified document with you because you know
9:25
Speaker 1: it is a criminal offense to do that. Well, let's
9:28
Speaker 1: talk about one other aspect of the senator that I
9:32
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are asking this question now.
9:34
Speaker 1: It's a theory that I pose to you. I think
9:37
Speaker 1: what two weeks ago now and I said, is this
9:40
Speaker 1: the Democrats offloading their useful idiot and Joe Biden? It's
9:45
Speaker 1: no longer useful because there's doesn't seem to be as
9:49
Speaker 1: many on TV now and Democrats out there that are
9:53
Speaker 1: really defending Joe Biden. Or is it just because this
9:58
Speaker 1: is so indefensible? So I think some of both. I
10:02
Speaker 1: think this happened just as a mass just as incompetence
10:06
Speaker 1: on the Biden side, and they kept screwing up. They
10:08
Speaker 1: kept thinking they were done, and then they found another,
10:10
Speaker 1: and then they found another, and then they found another. Now,
10:13
Speaker 1: I do think there's some Democrats that are nervous that
10:16
Speaker 1: he's too old to be president, that they want him
10:18
Speaker 1: to jump from the ticket. I think he's going to
10:20
Speaker 1: jump from the ticket. I've said consistently he will not
10:23
Speaker 1: end up running again in twenty four. But there are
10:25
Speaker 1: certainly some Democrats and some in the media who are
10:28
Speaker 1: being opportunistic and using this to try to push him out.
10:33
Speaker 1: But let me tell you right now, all right, let's
10:34
Speaker 1: break some news. Right now. Let me tell you what
10:36
Speaker 1: the next step in this scandal is going to be.
10:40
Speaker 1: The next step in this scandal is going to be Okay,
10:44
Speaker 1: if Biden's Senate documents include classified documents outside of classified settings,
10:51
Speaker 1: which is illegal, how many more classified documents are illegally
10:56
Speaker 1: in his Senate papers. And here's where this matters in particular,
11:00
Speaker 1: which is the University of Delaware has more than one thousand,
11:06
Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty boxes of records from Joe Biden's
11:13
Speaker 1: Senate tenure, which he gave to the University of Delaware. Now,
11:16
Speaker 1: the University of Delaware, presumably does not have them in
11:19
Speaker 1: a skiff, It does not have them in a secure location.
11:22
Speaker 1: During the twenty twenty campaign, there was a concerted media
11:26
Speaker 1: effort to try to get access to those documents. In particular,
11:29
Speaker 1: there were allegations of sexual harassment raised against Joe Biden,
11:33
Speaker 1: and the media wanted to examine the documents on those
11:35
Speaker 1: allegations of sexual harassment. The University of Delaware has said, nope,
11:40
Speaker 1: they're not releasing the documents to anybody until two years
11:44
Speaker 1: after Biden retires from public life. Ben I am right
11:48
Speaker 1: now calling for the Department of Justice for the FBI
11:51
Speaker 1: to examine all one thousand, eight hundred and fifty boxes
11:55
Speaker 1: of those Senate records to see how many additions and
12:00
Speaker 1: classified documents are in those records. The answer should be none,
12:05
Speaker 1: but given Biden's pattern, we should have zero reason to
12:09
Speaker 1: have any confidence that there are not multiple classified documents
12:14
Speaker 1: within those one eight hundred and fifty boxes of Senate records.
12:19
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the pr aspect of this as well,
12:21
Speaker 1: Senator at the White House, because you have two options now.
12:26
Speaker 1: You either have a White House Press secretary that's totally
12:30
Speaker 1: incompetent in her job and is sleeping in every day
12:34
Speaker 1: and then going out there and lying to the American people,
12:37
Speaker 1: or she's being hung out to drive by this administration,
12:41
Speaker 1: so therefore she looks like a complete moron. Now I
12:45
Speaker 1: say that with this caveat. There was a very interesting
12:48
Speaker 1: conversation on The Five on Fox News Channel. Yeah, and
12:52
Speaker 1: I want to play the beginning of this for people
12:54
Speaker 1: because it kind of sets the stage. Listen carefully to this,
12:57
Speaker 1: and again, like we said a moment ago, please hit

13:03
Speaker 1: Textitt toom of that will forward arrow. Make sure you
13:06
Speaker 1: hit the subscribe auto download button as well. Again, this
13:09
Speaker 1: is from The Five. Take a listen a contradiction city
13:13
Speaker 1: over Biden's docu drama. The Secret Service is ready to
13:16
Speaker 1: turn over who visited the president's Delaware home if requested
13:20
Speaker 1: by Congress. But wait, the White House said those visitor
13:23
Speaker 1: logs didn't exist. M sounds like a good question to ask, cringe,
13:28
Speaker 1: Jean Pierre, But we all know that's a fool's Errand
13:33
Speaker 1: I really answered a question done really well. I didn't. Well,
13:38
Speaker 1: it's you, it's your opinion. I'm having a hard time
13:41
Speaker 1: understanding why. I just questions about We shall see your
13:45
Speaker 1: and I just said, and I just said to you,
13:47
Speaker 1: the White House Counsel's Office will be able to address
13:49
Speaker 1: that question from this point on. Are you not waiting
13:52
Speaker 1: to be taking questions about the classified doctor? I have
13:55
Speaker 1: been very clear over and over again, We're going to
13:57
Speaker 1: be prudent. Again. That's for the department. Why it's not
14:02
Speaker 1: your decision to make of what I can or can't
14:04
Speaker 1: answer from here. Let's be clear so you can see
14:07
Speaker 1: why the White House reporters have had enough of Jean Pierre.
14:10
Speaker 1: According to a new report, members have grown exasperated and
14:13
Speaker 1: call her briefings a painful waste of time. I mean, sinner,
14:18
Speaker 1: you hear that. And the point that they're making is
14:21
Speaker 1: is she just flat out lying? Is she being left
14:24
Speaker 1: in the dark or just part of a full blown
14:26
Speaker 1: cover up? You pick? Yeah, Well, look, one problem that
14:29
Speaker 1: Krane John Pierre has is that she started with very
14:32
Speaker 1: limited credibility. Even prior to this White House scandal. She
14:38
Speaker 1: demonstrated a proclivity to stand and lie at the White
14:41
Speaker 1: House podium over and over and over again. When she
14:44
Speaker 1: stood up and said people aren't just walking across the border,
14:47
Speaker 1: it just doesn't happen that that wasn't kind of sort
14:50
Speaker 1: of painting outside the lines. It's just a wild, bald
14:54
Speaker 1: faced lie. When five point three million people have crossed
14:57
Speaker 1: illegally to say nobody's doing it is just it's a
15:01
Speaker 1: laugh line. Now, the reporters almost all agree with her ideologically.
15:07
Speaker 1: They're left wing Democrats, so they want her to look good.
15:10
Speaker 1: They want Biden to look good. So when she stands
15:13
Speaker 1: there and lies to her more often than not, they
15:16
Speaker 1: take it. But when she's made a practice of lying
15:19
Speaker 1: to them over and over and over again, her credibility
15:21
Speaker 1: is very low. And then you get to this scandal.
15:24
Speaker 1: And now this scandal. Look, even though the reporters are partisans,
15:29
Speaker 1: they also they smell blood in the water. They're sharks,
15:33
Speaker 1: and they're frustrated because what she says now every day
15:38
Speaker 1: is wrong. And either she has no idea what she's
15:40
Speaker 1: talking about, or she's actively part of the cover up
15:43
Speaker 1: because she keeps saying, Okay, the search is complete, next day, oh,
15:46
Speaker 1: never mind, and then now the search is complete. Up
15:49
Speaker 1: never mind? And you know now you know, why is
15:52
Speaker 1: Biden going to the beach house. Oh no reason, just
15:55
Speaker 1: just thought the beach would be pretty not that their
15:57
Speaker 1: g men raiding the President's house as we speak, and
16:00
Speaker 1: we just don't want to tell you because we're the
16:02
Speaker 1: White House and we lie to the reporters. And the
16:04
Speaker 1: fact that the reporters are turning on her that's a
16:08
Speaker 1: big deal too. I mean, these are people who agree
16:11
Speaker 1: with her and like her, and yet their frustration it
16:16
Speaker 1: really it's a boiling point. It's really a boiling point
16:19
Speaker 1: right now. In the White House press room. It's usually
16:22
Speaker 1: just one or two people that are being tough, right it.
16:25
Speaker 1: Peter Doucy and and that's about it. Who really kind
16:29
Speaker 1: of give her a hard time. The rest just go
16:31
Speaker 1: along with it. That's exactly right. And you know the
16:35
Speaker 1: five you were talking about. You know, Dana Prino obviously
16:39
Speaker 1: served as a White House press secretary, and I think
16:41
Speaker 1: she has a unique insight. Yeah, she meant, just how
16:45
Speaker 1: spectacularly bad this is and it's it's worth play with.
16:48
Speaker 1: Dana had to say about this. Yeahs has Grin ever
16:54
Speaker 1: reached out to you to say, hey, I need some help.
16:56
Speaker 1: You're really good at this? No, I should Look, she's
16:59
Speaker 1: got a lot of friends and supporters. I'm sure she
17:01
Speaker 1: could call any of any member of their group, for example,
17:06
Speaker 1: like Jen sake. But what the judges said I think
17:10
Speaker 1: is very very correct. So Biden and Cline have allowed
17:16
Speaker 1: this woman to go out there one they either didn't
17:20
Speaker 1: tell her and when she I believe when she said
17:24
Speaker 1: she didn't know, she found out the same day that
17:25
Speaker 1: the Press court did. So it looks like she was
17:28
Speaker 1: involved in a cover up if she did know, but
17:30
Speaker 1: she didn't know, so then they're like, oh, wait, so
17:31
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're talking about, so you don't
17:33
Speaker 1: have the confidence of the Chief of Staff. And they
17:35
Speaker 1: just sit there and let her twist in the wind
17:37
Speaker 1: every single day. And by the way, where's Kamala Harris
17:41
Speaker 1: help a sister out? If I were Kamala Harris, I
17:43
Speaker 1: would go into chief of Staff's office and to Biden
17:45
Speaker 1: and say tomorrow somebody from the Justice Department is going
17:48
Speaker 1: to help her out, and they're going to walk through
17:50
Speaker 1: this time like or you were ruining her ability to
17:52
Speaker 1: have a command in that room. And when you have
17:55
Speaker 1: White House reporters start to talk to the press about
17:57
Speaker 1: how the unhappy they are, it's very hard to out
18:00
Speaker 1: of that. You know those you know what a like
18:03
Speaker 1: a construction side it will say eighty days without a
18:06
Speaker 1: safety incident at the White House. They have zero days
18:10
Speaker 1: of providing inaccurate information. Partly it's her fault and that
18:15
Speaker 1: she has to make sure to protect herself. That's your
18:17
Speaker 1: number one job, because it's the only asset that you have.
18:20
Speaker 1: But the President himself and Ron Clain, the cheapest staff,
18:24
Speaker 1: owe her something better than what they have provided because
18:27
Speaker 1: they are making her job so much harder than it
18:30
Speaker 1: needs to be. Yet Ron claim, by the way, I
18:31
Speaker 1: gotta get to the White House Presecretary Center and get
18:33
Speaker 1: your reaction because it broke also over the weekend that
18:37
Speaker 1: he's going to be leaving the White House. Now. Of
18:39
Speaker 1: course they put this out there like, oh, it's just time.
18:42
Speaker 1: He's been there for two years. This is normal cycle
18:46
Speaker 1: here do you buy that? Or look, the house is
18:50
Speaker 1: on fire. And either Ron Klain got fired because he's
18:55
Speaker 1: supposed to prevent this from happening. And by the way,
18:57
Speaker 1: it's not just the existence of the class vide documents.
19:02
Speaker 1: If this past couple of weeks is not taught in
19:06
Speaker 1: PR and communication courses a decade from now, I'll be surprised,
19:10
Speaker 1: like the White House could not have handled this worse.
19:13
Speaker 1: And so maybe Ron Klaine was fired. We don't know.
19:16
Speaker 1: And one of the things we've learned from the Biden
19:18
Speaker 1: White House they won't tell us. They're not going to
19:21
Speaker 1: be honest and fess up to it. Or alternatively, he
19:25
Speaker 1: sees everything on fire and says, hey, I'm out of here.
19:27
Speaker 1: I'm onto greener pastures. I want to cash out and
19:30
Speaker 1: make some cash. One way or the other, the guy
19:33
Speaker 1: who was ostensibly in charge is leaving. And I will note,
19:37
Speaker 1: look in any white house, a White House chief of
19:39
Speaker 1: staff leaving is a big deal. In this White House,
19:42
Speaker 1: where Joe Biden is clearly not up to the job,
19:45
Speaker 1: and many people have hypothesized that it's been ron Klain
19:49
Speaker 1: running the White House, well then that's an even bigger deal.
19:53
Speaker 1: And I thought Dana Prino's insight was really powerful because
20:00
Speaker 1: you and I have been around the political world a
20:02
Speaker 1: long time, but neither one of us have served as
20:04
Speaker 1: White House Press secretary, and I think she quite rightly
20:09
Speaker 1: focused on how even Karine Jean Pierre, I do not
20:12
Speaker 1: think is very good. I think she's demonstrated a proclivity
20:15
Speaker 1: towards dishonesty. But what Joe Biden and ron Klain and
20:19
Speaker 1: the rest of the White House staff are doing to
20:21
Speaker 1: her is fundamentally wrong. They are putting her out on
20:25
Speaker 1: a limb and then sawing the limb off, and they're
20:27
Speaker 1: putting in her position where even to hardcore left wing partisans,
20:33
Speaker 1: it's obvious that she's misleading them, either out of ignorance
20:37
Speaker 1: or malice, neither one of which is good. Senator, Before
20:40
Speaker 1: we get into these documents that you just mentioned at
20:43
Speaker 1: the University of Delaware, I want to tell people about
20:46
Speaker 1: our friends at Augusta Precious Metals. If you have saved
20:51
Speaker 1: for a long time for retirement, then you may be
20:54
Speaker 1: extremely stressed out or frustrated over what's happened with your
20:58
Speaker 1: retirement account over the last year year. There are ways
21:02
Speaker 1: that you can protect your retirement. You need to understand
21:04
Speaker 1: that you can protect your money with a gold ira.
21:08
Speaker 1: Now I'm excited to tell you about a company I
21:10
Speaker 1: trust and I use, Augusta Precious Metals. They're different because
21:16
Speaker 1: they even tell you if a gold ira isn't your answer.
21:21
Speaker 1: With Augusta Precious Metals, there's no pressure, just the facts.
21:25
Speaker 1: Augusta of Precious Metals is all about protecting iras and
21:29
Speaker 1: four o one ks in this crazy economy, so important,
21:34
Speaker 1: especially for you right now if you're close to retirement,
21:36
Speaker 1: because there's no time to make up losses. So if
21:40
Speaker 1: you've saved one hundred thousand dollars or more, you should
21:43
Speaker 1: take a look at their free guide and sign up
21:46
Speaker 1: for their incredible web conference. Is exactly what I did
21:49
Speaker 1: before I decided to put some of my money into
21:53
Speaker 1: gold and silver. All you got to do is check
21:57
Speaker 1: them out and let them know that you're ready for
22:00
Speaker 1: that peace of mind. It is important that you're ready
22:03
Speaker 1: for retirement. So call August of Precious Metals one eight
22:07
Speaker 1: seven seven four gold IRA. That's one eight seven seven
22:14
Speaker 1: four the number four gold IRA. Or you can go
22:18
Speaker 1: online and visit them at Augusta Precious Metals dot com.
22:23
Speaker 1: Say I sent you and they'll even pay your fees
22:26
Speaker 1: for up to ten years. That's Augusta Precious Metals at
22:30
Speaker 1: eight seven seven four gold IRA or august is Precious
22:33
Speaker 1: Metals dot com. Now, Senator, I want to get back
22:36
Speaker 1: to these documents, and you look at the University of Delaware,
22:40
Speaker 1: you want to talk about them. I think really playing
22:43
Speaker 1: defense on behalf of the president. They've said, hey, we're
22:46
Speaker 1: not releasing these documents until two years after Biden leaves
22:50
Speaker 1: the presidency, whether that's in a four years or eight years.
22:54
Speaker 1: This is broken at right, basically during while we've been
22:59
Speaker 1: recorded this that the DOJ is reportedly considering launching quote,
23:03
Speaker 1: additional searches for classified documents that quote more locations linked
23:09
Speaker 1: to President Joe Biden. CBS News has just reported that quote.
23:13
Speaker 1: The potential for additional searches comes as the DOJ socoured
23:18
Speaker 1: through Biden's Wilmington residence Friday found six more items considering
23:23
Speaker 1: consisting of which classified markings, and according to Biden's personal attorney,
23:27
Speaker 1: Bob Bear, the content of the classified material quote is
23:30
Speaker 1: unknown now. His attorney for the president's personal attorney claimed
23:35
Speaker 1: that Biden offered quote to allow the FBI to conduct
23:38
Speaker 1: the search led by the DOJ. It is unclear if
23:40
Speaker 1: bidens offered to permit the DOJ to conduct further searches
23:44
Speaker 1: its separate locations are now claiming are quote linked to
23:47
Speaker 1: the president. How many more areas are there to search
23:50
Speaker 1: that are linked to this guy? Look, I have no idea,
23:55
Speaker 1: but one of the most compelling, if not the most compelling,
23:58
Speaker 1: is the University of Delaware, which, as I says, has
24:01
Speaker 1: more than one thousand, eight hundred and fifty boxes from
24:04
Speaker 1: his time in the Senate. That's all in one location.
24:07
Speaker 1: It's all straightforward to search. I believe d OJ needs
24:10
Speaker 1: to search that quickly, and I hope the news that
24:13
Speaker 1: you just read indicates they're going to do that. I
24:15
Speaker 1: don't know how many other locations. I don't know if
24:19
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if there are are classified
24:21
Speaker 1: documents at Hunter Biden's residence. Of course we've talked about
24:24
Speaker 1: on this pod how for periods Hunter Biden has said
24:26
Speaker 1: his residence was Joe Biden's residence, so he's lived with
24:30
Speaker 1: classified documents. I don't know if there are other places.
24:32
Speaker 1: And there were pictures of him in the corvette, driving
24:37
Speaker 1: the corvette with family members that were related to him
24:41
Speaker 1: to the beach, so obviously he had access to that
24:44
Speaker 1: card during the time when apparently these classified documents would
24:48
Speaker 1: have been in that garage. So not only were these
24:50
Speaker 1: classified documents presumably in that garage, that was the same
24:53
Speaker 1: time Hunter Biden was negotiating a multimillion dollar deal with
24:57
Speaker 1: the communist government of China, so he was making millions
25:04
Speaker 1: from an entity that had an acute interest in getting
25:07
Speaker 1: access to classify documents. We need to know what the
25:11
Speaker 1: subject matter of these documents are. We need to know.
25:16
Speaker 1: This scandal takes on a qualitatively different different shape, different form,
25:23
Speaker 1: different consequences depending on what the subject matter was. And
25:28
Speaker 1: we've heard leaks about how they concerned Iran, how they
25:32
Speaker 1: concerned China, how they concern Ukraine. We need to know
25:35
Speaker 1: the specifics. And I will say this, if there is
25:38
Speaker 1: even one classified document that concerns Barisma and Hunter and Biden,
25:44
Speaker 1: or concerns the communist China entities that were negotiating and
25:50
Speaker 1: paying millions to Hunter Biden, this centers the realm of
25:55
Speaker 1: serious criminal activity. We don't know that to be the case,
25:59
Speaker 1: but that is is a major escalation and I think
26:02
Speaker 1: the public deserves to know. And let me say, by
26:05
Speaker 1: the way, you played a minute ago, Karen Jean Pierre's
26:08
Speaker 1: multiple dodges of I'm not answering that I'm not answering
26:11
Speaker 1: that asked DJ DOJ has publicly said, hey, nothing, our
26:16
Speaker 1: end stops the White House from answering questions. So, for example,
26:19
Speaker 1: Karene Jean Pierre was asked, Joe Biden said it was irresponsible,
26:24
Speaker 1: that's the word he used for Donald Trump to have
26:26
Speaker 1: classified documents in one location at Marlago at his residence.
26:32
Speaker 1: Was it also irresponsible for Joe Biden to do that?
26:36
Speaker 1: And Karene Jehan Pierre refused to answer. She said, nope,
26:38
Speaker 1: you got to ask DJ, and DOJ said, hey, no,
26:42
Speaker 1: Bar and I are end to her answering those questions.
26:45
Speaker 1: It's just politics. They didn't say this, this is me now.
26:48
Speaker 1: It's just covering the rear end of the president refusing
26:52
Speaker 1: to answer those questions because the answer is obvious, and
26:57
Speaker 1: that's why they're trying to run away from it. Yeah,
26:59
Speaker 1: and for people to understand just now how many documents
27:02
Speaker 1: were up to to put in perspective on top of
27:04
Speaker 1: the trove that was on earthed Friday at his house
27:08
Speaker 1: that now is added to the additional twenty five classified
27:12
Speaker 1: documents found by Biden's quote personal moving attorneys in the
27:16
Speaker 1: past week at the Penn Biden Center and Biden's residence.
27:20
Speaker 1: We also and this goes back to the to the
27:23
Speaker 1: I think the disaster of this from the White House.
27:26
Speaker 1: Biden again stated center on Thursday quote that he had
27:29
Speaker 1: no regrets about mishandling classified materials and claimed there were
27:33
Speaker 1: that claimed there was quote no there there the classified documents.
27:40
Speaker 1: He says they were initially earthed. We've done the unearthed.
27:43
Speaker 1: We've done this the right way. We were fully quote cooperating,
27:46
Speaker 1: looking forward to getting this resolved quickly. I think you're
27:49
Speaker 1: gonna find that there's there's nothing there. I have no regrets,
27:53
Speaker 1: he said it again. I'm following what the lawyers have
27:56
Speaker 1: told me they want to do. That's exactly what we're doing.
27:59
Speaker 1: There's no there there. Fast forward. The liberal Washington Post
28:05
Speaker 1: is now reporting that the White House and the DOJ
28:09
Speaker 1: basically had an agreement to cover up and hide President
28:13
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's classified document scanal from the American people until
28:18
Speaker 1: it leaked to the press, despite their repeated claims of transparency,
28:22
Speaker 1: and the Washington Post center is who is reporting that
28:25
Speaker 1: the White House DOJ had an agreement to hide this
28:28
Speaker 1: from the American people. Yeah. Look that there's a simple
28:31
Speaker 1: question that is obvious. Why is the Biden DOJ not
28:35
Speaker 1: leaked anything about this investigation? They didn't know leak it
28:40
Speaker 1: on November second, before the election, when the documents allegedly
28:44
Speaker 1: were first discovered. They didn't leak it in the days
28:47
Speaker 1: and weeks that followed. They haven't leaked the contents of
28:50
Speaker 1: the documents. They haven't spread the documents all over the
28:53
Speaker 1: floor and taken a picture and put it out on
28:55
Speaker 1: the internet. All of the things they've done to Donald Trump.
28:58
Speaker 1: Their leaks, look, you would expect their leaks to come
29:01
Speaker 1: from the DNC. You would expect an explicitly partisan organization
29:05
Speaker 1: to put out stories that are harmful to the other party.
29:09
Speaker 1: It is amazing how the Biden de j leaks nothing
29:13
Speaker 1: on this, because I believe their objective is to protect
29:18
Speaker 1: him politically rather than enforce the law fairly and directly.
29:23
Speaker 1: As you know, It's why I wrote my last book,
29:25
Speaker 1: Justice Corrupted. The last book I wrote goes into detail
29:30
Speaker 1: about how this Biden Justice Department is the most politicized,
29:34
Speaker 1: is the most partisan justice department this country's ever seen.
29:38
Speaker 1: And I think the disparate treatment between raiding Mara Lago
29:44
Speaker 1: in the bright league lights of day versus surreptitiously searching
29:49
Speaker 1: Biden's home and then keeping everything secret. I think the
29:53
Speaker 1: double standard is obvious to anyone watching it. Certainly is center.
29:58
Speaker 1: One last question that deals with a different issue. I'm
30:00
Speaker 1: gonna throw you a quick curveball. There is a quietly
30:04
Speaker 1: released Energy Department report that now it means it was
30:08
Speaker 1: quote a mistake in canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, and
30:12
Speaker 1: actually shows the economic benefits of that pipeline. It just
30:16
Speaker 1: seems to have come out two and a half years
30:18
Speaker 1: too late. I love how this quietly gets released by
30:22
Speaker 1: the Energy Department. Welcome to the captain obvious Report of
30:26
Speaker 1: the year. Well, look, that's true, But I'd actually be
30:30
Speaker 1: happy if any decision maker in the Biden administration learned
30:34
Speaker 1: a lesson from it. If they said, oh, we suddenly
30:37
Speaker 1: realize that hurting US energy production and boosting the production
30:43
Speaker 1: of our enemies like Russia, like a rand like Venezuela,
30:46
Speaker 1: is really bad for America. It's bad for the environment,
30:48
Speaker 1: it's bad for our national security, it's bad for jobs.
30:51
Speaker 1: It's just a loser all around. If they actually learned that,
30:55
Speaker 1: I wouldn't care why they learned that, And to be honest,
30:57
Speaker 1: i'd celebrate the report. The problem with the report work.
31:01
Speaker 1: Nobody who has any authority cares what's in that report.
31:04
Speaker 1: They are continuing, day after day after day to do
31:08
Speaker 1: everything they can to shut down, to stifle US energy production,
31:13
Speaker 1: to hurt jobs in America, to drive up the cost
31:17
Speaker 1: of gasoline for American families, and bizarrely to shift more
31:22
Speaker 1: and more production to our enemies like Iran and Russia
31:27
Speaker 1: and Venezuela. It makes no sense. And these ideologues, they
31:32
Speaker 1: don't listen to reason, They never do, They never do.
31:35
Speaker 1: Center always a pleasure, don't forget. If you're listening right now,
31:38
Speaker 1: make sure you hit that subscriber auto download button so
31:41
Speaker 1: you get our podcasts each and every day. With this
31:44
Speaker 1: much breaking news, I would not be surprised if in
31:46
Speaker 1: the days, in the weeks ahead, we ended up doing
31:49
Speaker 1: unscheduled bonus episodes of this show. A right, Ben, let's
31:54
Speaker 1: take a raffle. Where are the next documents? What are
31:57
Speaker 1: they are when? Where? Where are they located? It's gotta
32:03
Speaker 1: be at my gut is where they are hanging out
32:06
Speaker 1: right now? At there? I would guess at the beach.
32:09
Speaker 1: The beach is not a bad call. I mean, maybe
32:12
Speaker 1: he's cleaning house right now, no pun intended. Right, if
32:15
Speaker 1: you know they've nailed you at Delaware, why not go
32:17
Speaker 1: to the beach house and clean that place up, or
32:20
Speaker 1: sit around all weekend and go through documents. So you
32:23
Speaker 1: would certainly think if the FBI rated his Wilmington house,
32:29
Speaker 1: Rohoboth Beach would be next. So that's probably the odds
32:32
Speaker 1: are with you. I do not know if he owns
32:35
Speaker 1: any other properties. I cannot imagine why the FBI would
32:40
Speaker 1: not at this point search every property he owns. And
32:48
Speaker 1: so we'll see what comes up, you know, the one
32:50
Speaker 1: I really wish they look at, and not because of
32:52
Speaker 1: any of the stuff from the laptop. I just got
32:55
Speaker 1: to thank the offices that were shared and the documents
32:59
Speaker 1: that could have been mingled between Jimmy Biden, James Biden,
33:03
Speaker 1: the brother Hunter Biden, and Joe Biden. If they were
33:07
Speaker 1: this careless with classified documents, I think there's gotta be
33:12
Speaker 1: a decent chance when they were packing up their joint
33:14
Speaker 1: office as they could have cold mingled documents between Jimmy.
33:18
Speaker 1: I mean, certainly since the Senate years. If we're finding
33:20
Speaker 1: these documents back in the day when he was a senator,
33:23
Speaker 1: well we shall see. I feel confident these are, though
33:27
Speaker 1: not the last classified documents that Biden is going to say, ooh, sorry,
33:33
Speaker 1: got him again. Yeah, it's my bad. All right, We'll
33:36
Speaker 1: see you guys back here on Wednesday, if not sooner,
33:39
Speaker 1: have a great couple of days center. It's a pleasure.
33:42
Speaker 1: And again make sure you have that subscribed down little
33:44
Speaker 1: button right. It's a five star review. We'll see you
33:46
Speaker 1: back here on Wednesday morning.
