YES BIDEN FELL OFF A BIKE, but do not 'fall' for the new calls to invoke 25A! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: So it was a bike ride that stopped and then
0:04
Speaker 1: we witnessed the leader of the Free world fall off
0:09
Speaker 1: of that bike. When I got the video, at first
0:14
Speaker 1: I just said, I kind of rolled my eyes, like
0:17
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised, right, Like I'm really not. Like this
0:20
Speaker 1: totally makes sense to me. It's exactly what I would expect.
0:27
Speaker 1: But then I realized very quickly, like this is not
0:31
Speaker 1: good for the country, and it's clear that I think
0:36
Speaker 1: this president is incapacitated. He's fallen on the stairs, he's
0:43
Speaker 1: gotten scared by a bunny rabbit. He can't remember what
0:48
Speaker 1: he's talking about. He gets days and years mixed up.
0:52
Speaker 1: He tells stories that we know our lies over and
0:55
Speaker 1: over again, things that deal with Amtrak and other ridiculous moments.
1:00
Speaker 1: He sees people that aren't there, calls his wife not
1:03
Speaker 1: his wife, and refers to somebody else's wife on stage right.
1:07
Speaker 1: He's drug around like a like a little child. His
1:10
Speaker 1: wife's told me can't read all right. He's not allowed
1:13
Speaker 1: to answer questions of the media because they know what
1:16
Speaker 1: he's gonna do. His wife was literally caught dragging him away.
1:19
Speaker 1: I put this up on social media this week from reporter.
1:22
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, I gotta go. His wife's pulling on
1:24
Speaker 1: his arm, knowing that she's got to protect him from
1:28
Speaker 1: the media because he cannot handle the media. Now, this
1:32
Speaker 1: is a guy that's handled the media for forty plush years.
1:35
Speaker 1: You will not find a video from five years ago,
1:39
Speaker 1: or ten years ago, or fifteen or twenty or twenty
1:42
Speaker 1: five or thirty years ago of Joe Biden's wife handling
1:47
Speaker 1: him on a rope line. It doesn't exist. You will
1:53
Speaker 1: not find, I want to be clear about this. You
1:59
Speaker 1: will not find a video of Joe Biden being told
2:05
Speaker 1: he can't do something ten years ago or even five
2:08
Speaker 1: years ago. You will not find a video of the
2:12
Speaker 1: present being scared by a bunny or falling off a
2:15
Speaker 1: bicycle while it's stationary. Now, before I get into anymore
2:19
Speaker 1: the insanity of these people on the left, I want
2:22
Speaker 1: to tell you real quick about legacy precious metals. You
2:25
Speaker 1: know what's happening with inflation, you know what's happening with
2:27
Speaker 1: people now talking about the idea of recession. You know
2:30
Speaker 1: what's happening with supply chain issues, and you know what's
2:32
Speaker 1: been happening with your retirement account. If you are not
2:36
Speaker 1: diversified with part of your financial strategy involving precious metals.
2:41
Speaker 1: Now is a time to call the people that I
2:43
Speaker 1: use and trust, Legacy Precious Metals. You can get the
2:46
Speaker 1: free investor's guide on gold and silver, precious metal investing
2:52

Speaker 1: they want to raise taxes. We are seeing a skyrocketing
3:00
Speaker 1: of our national debt. And if your retirement is in
3:03
Speaker 1: only investments that are directly connected to the market, you
3:06
Speaker 1: need to take a look at Legacy Precious Metals. Call

3:14
Speaker 1: one eight six six seven five one twenty two eighteen.
3:19
Speaker 1: That's one eight six six seven five one twenty two eighteen,
3:26
Speaker 1: or online at Legacy PM Investments. It's Legacy PM Investments
3:31
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, I want to now get back
3:34
Speaker 1: to this idea that before we knew anything about the shooter,
3:38
Speaker 1: immediately the media knew what they were going to do.
3:40
Speaker 1: Democrats and what they were going to do one go
3:42
Speaker 1: after guns two and died every conservative. Now the official
3:47
Speaker 1: line for the White House is his foot got stuck
3:50
Speaker 1: in the pedal cleat. You could see that his feet
3:55
Speaker 1: were in these kind of little pockets right, and they
3:58
Speaker 1: said that when he stopped, he got one foot out
4:00
Speaker 1: and the other one was stock and that's why I
4:01
Speaker 1: fell over. What I would say is it's obvious that
4:06
Speaker 1: this president has become incapacitated mentally, and I think you're
4:12
Speaker 1: now starting to see the physical decline. You know, when
4:16
Speaker 1: was the last time you fell on the stairs and
4:18
Speaker 1: fell off a bike that was stationary? Ask yourself that question.
4:23
Speaker 1: There's a certain point in life where that stuff starts
4:25
Speaker 1: happening more often, a lot more often. Many of you
4:27
Speaker 1: may have dealt with it with parents and grandparents, But
4:30
Speaker 1: it's obvious that this president is incapacitated in his job.
4:35
Speaker 1: Now there's two parts to this equation, and I want
4:38
Speaker 1: you to listen to both very carefully because they're important.
4:42
Speaker 1: There are some that are loving the demise of this
4:45
Speaker 1: president in real life, and they're saying, look, we should
4:47
Speaker 1: immediately invoke the twenty fifth Amendment. Now they're the White
4:53
Speaker 1: House actually had a ceremony that certified the ratification of
4:56
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment. And this was something that President
5:01
Speaker 1: Johnson noted that quote. It was one hundred eighty years ago,
5:04
Speaker 1: in the closing days of the Constitual Convention that the
5:06
Speaker 1: founding Fathers debated the question of presidential disability. John Dickinson
5:11
Speaker 1: funny Enough from Delaware Joe Biden's from there, asked this question,
5:16
Speaker 1: what is the extent of the term disability and who
5:21
Speaker 1: is the judge of it? No one replied. The twenty
5:26
Speaker 1: fifth Amendment was ratified in nineteen sixty seven, and it
5:31
Speaker 1: now contains several important provisions dealing with the executive branch.
5:35
Speaker 1: Most notably, it provides a procedure by which the vice
5:37
Speaker 1: president can assume the role of quote acting president in
5:41
Speaker 1: the event that the chief executive is incapacitated. The need
5:45
Speaker 1: for the twenty fifth Amendment was borne out of several factors.
5:49
Speaker 1: Ones was the increased power and responsibility that American presence
5:54
Speaker 1: held in the twentieth century. Another was the responsibility presence
5:57
Speaker 1: had to national security that all changed in the nuclear age,
6:02
Speaker 1: that the president may be called upon any moment to
6:05
Speaker 1: determine how to defend the nation. In fact, in the
6:08
Speaker 1: aftermath of War One, President Woodrow Wilson had suffered a
6:11
Speaker 1: debilitating stroke that rendered him extremely limited in his ability
6:15
Speaker 1: to execute his powers as president, Yet there was no
6:20
Speaker 1: mechanism existed at the time for him to transfer his
6:25
Speaker 1: power to Vice President Thomas Marshall had he wanted to
6:28
Speaker 1: do so. Now, while this did not do lasting damage
6:33
Speaker 1: to our government or our country, a similar situation during
6:38
Speaker 1: the Cold War could have had disastrous consequences. However, the
6:43
Speaker 1: most immediate reason that spurred the twenty fifth Amendment was
6:47
Speaker 1: a realization that, due to advancements in modern medicine, listening carefully,
6:53
Speaker 1: it may be possible for a president to suffer a
6:56
Speaker 1: serious health crisis that could render them in capacity citated
7:00
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time, yet not in their life.
7:06
Speaker 1: President Eisenhower suffered a major heart attack in office that
7:09
Speaker 1: led him to work out in informal agreement with Vice
7:14
Speaker 1: President Richard Nixon on how to manage the government in
7:16
Speaker 1: Eisenhower's absence, Yet this agreement had no legal standing. President
7:23
Speaker 1: JFK's assassination was a further reminder that a president could
7:27
Speaker 1: theoretically be incapacitated and be unable to execute the responsibility
7:30
Speaker 1: of their office. Thus, there was an urgency to pass
7:34
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment, which Congress did in the wake
7:37
Speaker 1: of the Kennedy assassination. Now, since its passage, the twenty
7:43
Speaker 1: fifth Amendment's provision for the President to pass authority to
7:46
Speaker 1: the vice president has only occurred three times, once by
7:49
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan and twice by President George W. Bush. All
7:52
Speaker 1: three times the president was undergoing by Colin Osomi, and
7:56
Speaker 1: all three times they were done by the voluntary action
8:00
Speaker 1: of the president. The twenty fifth Amendment contains language for
8:06
Speaker 1: the president to lose power involuntarily as well, but this
8:09
Speaker 1: has never been used. The closest this has ever been
8:12
Speaker 1: a possibility was in the wake of President Ronald Reagan's
8:15
Speaker 1: attempted assassination. Despite this, the twenty fifth Amendments of value
8:20
Speaker 1: is shown in such causes, or i should say, in
8:22
Speaker 1: such cases as the Israeli Prime Minister Aero Sharone. Sharone
8:32
Speaker 1: suffered a massive an ultimately fatal stroke. He was removed
8:38
Speaker 1: as prime Minister under Israeli law, allowing the Israeli government
8:41
Speaker 1: to continue functioning because he couldn't function. He was a lie,
8:45
Speaker 1: but he couldn't function now. Despite the limited usage of
8:51
Speaker 1: passing presidential authority, this function is probably what the twenty
8:56
Speaker 1: fifth Amendment is best known for, and has been well
8:59
Speaker 1: dramatized and pop culture references such as the movie Air
9:03
Speaker 1: Force One and the television show the West wing. It's
9:06
Speaker 1: actually been another part of the amendment, the part that
9:08
Speaker 1: allows the president to appoint, with the consent of Congress,
9:14
Speaker 1: a person to fill the position of vice president, that
9:16
Speaker 1: has been more consequential in US history. This provision was
9:21
Speaker 1: used by President Nixon to appoint Joe Ford as vice
9:23
Speaker 1: president after the resignation of Agnew and by Ford to
9:28
Speaker 1: point Nelson Rockefeller vice president after Nixon's own resignation and
9:33
Speaker 1: fords elevation to the president. See this, by the way,
9:37
Speaker 1: is an important point that you should remember, especially with
9:39
Speaker 1: what we're talking about with the president now and clearly
9:42
Speaker 1: his cognitive decline. Now I've heard a lot of people
9:49
Speaker 1: say it's time to invoke the twenty fifth on Joe Biden.
9:55
Speaker 1: The question is is that the right decision at this
10:00
Speaker 1: moment in time for the country. And then there's a
10:02
Speaker 1: second part of this, and that is this is it
10:06
Speaker 1: the right Listen carefully? Is it the right decision for
10:13
Speaker 1: the Republican Party to advocate for this knowing what precedent
10:18
Speaker 1: will be moving forward. Imagine what people would have said
10:23
Speaker 1: about getting rid of Ronald Reagan towards the end of
10:26
Speaker 1: his life if he would have fallen off a bike, right,
10:29
Speaker 1: they would have used this to get rid of him.
10:31
Speaker 1: Would that have been a bad decision, especially with what
10:33
Speaker 1: was going on the Cold War? Think about Dick Cheney
10:37
Speaker 1: for example, not not if you liked him or not.
10:38
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that. I'm just talking about when
10:40
Speaker 1: he shot that guy accidentally shooting going dub hunting or
10:44
Speaker 1: bird hunting. You don't think Democrats would immediately have retaliated
10:49
Speaker 1: if we would have used this saying get rid of
10:51
Speaker 1: the vice president. Remember when George Bush tried to walk
10:56
Speaker 1: out of a door that was locked. You don't think
10:58
Speaker 1: Democrats would have said, oh, he's incompetence, he's mentally in comedy.
11:03
Speaker 1: Kven opened the door. Remember that the door was locked.
11:05
Speaker 1: You're trying to walk out of the room at a
11:06
Speaker 1: press event, and and and they mocked him ruthlessly on TV.
11:12
Speaker 1: So number one, be careful because there is precedent for
11:16
Speaker 1: everything that you that we do, everything that we advocate for,
11:21
Speaker 1: and if we use it, I promise you the left
11:24
Speaker 1: will abuse it. Write that down if you learn nothing
11:28
Speaker 1: else from me. If we use something, guarantee you not
11:33
Speaker 1: only will the left use it to their venge, they
11:34
Speaker 1: will abuse it. If they have the opportunity. Second thing
11:39
Speaker 1: is this, does it get any better if we got
11:42
Speaker 1: rid of Joe Biden and put in Kamala Harris. There
11:47
Speaker 1: is a political aspect to this conversation, and anyone that
11:51
Speaker 1: tells you there's not as lying to you. And the
11:54
Speaker 1: political aspect of this conversation is one that we all
11:58
Speaker 1: should at least ignoit knowledge the existence of it. The
12:03
Speaker 1: political aspect of this is pretty darn clear, Okay. Joe
12:12
Speaker 1: Biden is probably the best thing that happened to Republicans
12:16
Speaker 1: for the mid term elections and for Republicans in the
12:21
Speaker 1: presidential election. Joe Biden genuinely wants to run for president
12:24
Speaker 1: again in two and a half three years. I don't
12:27
Speaker 1: know if he'll get there, Okay. I have compassion for
12:30
Speaker 1: anyone getting older. I have no idea if he's going
12:33
Speaker 1: to make it to that point cognitively, and I don't
12:37
Speaker 1: wish ill will on him personally. I disagree with him politically,
12:42
Speaker 1: and I can stand up for what I believe in
12:44
Speaker 1: without wishing someone bad health. But I'm watching his decline
12:49
Speaker 1: and if Democrats want to continue to prop him up
12:51
Speaker 1: and say and claim that there's nothing wrong going on,
12:56
Speaker 1: that this is totally normal. There's a large problem. It says, Okay,
13:00
Speaker 1: let them, let them keep lying to us, because we're
13:04
Speaker 1: not this stupid. Let them keep lying to us, right
13:11
Speaker 1: and will and we will take advantage of this situation
13:15
Speaker 1: come election day. Barack Obama gave us Donald Trump. Imagine
13:19
Speaker 1: what we're going to get from Joe Biden. The midterm
13:22
Speaker 1: elections that are coming up are going to be massive. Honestly, selfishly, politically,
13:27
Speaker 1: I definitely want to make sure that Joe Biden is
13:29
Speaker 1: the president with the lowest approval rating of any president
13:32
Speaker 1: I've seen in my lifetime. Okay, Jimmy Carter is the
13:36
Speaker 1: only one that's understood the lows that we're at right now.
13:39
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter, that's how long it's been nineteen seventy nine
13:45
Speaker 1: when we saw someone that had approval rating this low.
13:53
Speaker 1: I don't want Joe Biden to go, and I certainly
13:56
Speaker 1: don't want the twenty fifth Amendment to be used because
13:58
Speaker 1: the guy fell off a bike. I do think it's
14:01
Speaker 1: a perfect example of why Joe Biden is incompetent. I
14:05
Speaker 1: think it's a perfect example that you could use a
14:08
Speaker 1: piece of evidence on the decline of Joe Biden but
14:11
Speaker 1: if you think it Joe Biden's bad, you wait till
14:14
Speaker 1: you get someone like Kamala Harrison there, and then you
14:17
Speaker 1: got another problem. Who becomes the vice president? How much
14:20
Speaker 1: more radical could it become? How much more extreme could
14:23
Speaker 1: it become? That's the other part of this equation than
14:28
Speaker 1: everyone needs to be talking about. You think it's bad, now,
14:35
Speaker 1: wait till you get rid of him. Getting rid of
14:39
Speaker 1: Joe Biden actually fixes the democrats problems. Why do you
14:42
Speaker 1: think so many Democrats are now starting to step away?
14:47
Speaker 1: Last week there was a great example of this. Don
14:50
Speaker 1: Lemon on CNN asked the question right. Don Lemon asked
14:55
Speaker 1: that question about is the president fit? The White House
15:00
Speaker 1: Press Secretary actually had a fit that that question was
15:06
Speaker 1: even asked. There was a conversation debate about it on CNN.
15:11
Speaker 1: I'm going to play it for you. Listen to this.
15:13
Speaker 1: Don Lemon's a hardcore lefty who wants Kamala Harris to
15:16
Speaker 1: become president because he realizes that Joe Biden is terrible
15:20
Speaker 1: for the Democratic Party and it's going to drag down
15:23
Speaker 1: the entire ticket nationwide. And so what Don Lemon is
15:29
Speaker 1: doing is he's playing the politics here, right, Make no
15:32
Speaker 1: mistake about this. Don Lemon is playing the politics, and
15:35
Speaker 1: Don Lemon understands the politics, and he understands now is
15:39
Speaker 1: a time when you need to say goodbye Sionara audios
15:43
Speaker 1: to Joe Biden, and he personally wants Kamala Harris to
15:47
Speaker 1: be the president of the United States of America. That's
15:50
Speaker 1: why the left is turning on their guy. Listen, what
15:54
Speaker 1: do you think of her response? Ton of course we
15:57
Speaker 1: should be asking that question. First of all, I'm a journalists.
16:00
Speaker 1: My job is to ask questions, and as the person
16:03
Speaker 1: who represents the administration and the president, is her job
16:05
Speaker 1: to answer those questions. I would not be doing my
16:08
Speaker 1: job if I didn't ask that. Let's just be honest
16:10
Speaker 1: about this. I didn't question whether I'm not being agist
16:14
Speaker 1: and saying that the president of United States is the
16:16
Speaker 1: United States is too old to be president. We can
16:21
Speaker 1: judge that. I think that's an individual thing, right, But
16:25
Speaker 1: I do think that as the president of the United States,
16:28
Speaker 1: we should know the health history, both physically and mentally
16:31
Speaker 1: of the United States. The president of United States, we
16:34
Speaker 1: certainly question the former presidents capabilities and whether or not
16:37
Speaker 1: he should have the mental capacity. Quite frankly, and the
16:40
Speaker 1: physical capacity to be the president of United States. And
16:42
Speaker 1: we did it a lot, we had covid Can he
16:45
Speaker 1: physically be the president of the United States. It has
16:47
Speaker 1: been said even in these hearings that he is unhinged,
16:50
Speaker 1: that he you know, he is out of his mind
16:52
Speaker 1: because of what he you know, things that he was doing. Now.
16:55
Speaker 1: I'm not comparing the two men, but it is our job.
16:57
Speaker 1: By the way, this is what I go back to.
17:00
Speaker 1: If you don't think that the Democrats would weaponize the
17:02
Speaker 1: twenty fifth against us, if if it was used now
17:05
Speaker 1: or we started pushing forward or demanding it right as Republicans,
17:10
Speaker 1: they will throw it back to us ten times worse
17:12
Speaker 1: than we ever gave it to them. I do think
17:14
Speaker 1: there's a legitimate case right now for the twenty fifth,
17:17
Speaker 1: I really do. But I'm not going to be the
17:19
Speaker 1: one advocating and supporting it because I also know what
17:22
Speaker 1: president is. And you listen to Don Lemon, he's telling
17:24
Speaker 1: you right now he believes the twenty fifth should have
17:26
Speaker 1: been used against Donald Trump. And once you open this
17:29
Speaker 1: Pandora's box and it becomes a political football, you will
17:32
Speaker 1: never stop it. You will never end it. It will
17:34
Speaker 1: never go away. Know that and understand it. It will
17:40
Speaker 1: never ever, ever ever go away. And that's what Don
17:49
Speaker 1: Lemon just said there. Well, we certainly look at this
17:52
Speaker 1: last president and referring to Donald Trump, his mental capacity
17:54
Speaker 1: as physical capacity. If you were asking the question about
17:57
Speaker 1: the twenty fifth Amendment with Donald Trump when he had
18:00
Speaker 1: COVID and was in the hospital for what two days,
18:04
Speaker 1: that tells you how evil you are. And Democrats were
18:06
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, maybe he'll die, maybe he'll become incapacitated,
18:09
Speaker 1: Maybe we can use us to get rid of him.
18:11
Speaker 1: They were looking for any opportunity to get rid of
18:13
Speaker 1: them they could possibly get their hands on, right, That's
18:16
Speaker 1: what they were doing. That is the reality of the situation.
18:21
Speaker 1: They were anything they could do to try to try
18:23
Speaker 1: anything they could possibly do to get rid of him.
18:26
Speaker 1: They were trying it. Folks. There's a lot of Democrats
18:31
Speaker 1: right now they're saying, I hope Republicans will get on
18:33
Speaker 1: this bandwagon. I hope they'll start advocating for the twenty
18:35
Speaker 1: fifth because Democrats want to get rid of Joe Biden.
18:37
Speaker 1: He is a useful idiot that's now become a useful liability.
18:42
Speaker 1: You think, imagine if our guy on our side as
18:46
Speaker 1: a Republican was acting this way what you would be doing.
18:51
Speaker 1: You don't think Democrats are ready to get rid of him.
18:53
Speaker 1: You're not paying attention. They're sick of him. They want
18:55
Speaker 1: him gone, and they are happy. They are beyond happy
19:01
Speaker 1: to move on to Kamala Harris and the new people.
19:04
Speaker 1: They don't want Joe Biden on the ballot in two
19:07
Speaker 1: and a half years, right, They're ready for Joe Biden
19:11
Speaker 1: to disappear forever. He is a useful idiot that got
19:15
Speaker 1: them the White House, who's now destroying them, destroying their
19:21
Speaker 1: entire party. And I would say this, they were dumb
19:25
Speaker 1: enough to elect him, Let's take advantage of it in
19:27
Speaker 1: the midterms. Now. I want to switch gears for a
19:31
Speaker 1: moment to something else that I think is another really
19:35
Speaker 1: important story that really ties into this. There's a new
19:40
Speaker 1: poll that's out that Democrats are touting. It says six
19:43
Speaker 1: and ten Americans say that Donald Trump should be charged
19:47
Speaker 1: for January the sixth riot. A majority of Americans also
19:50
Speaker 1: think the January Committee has quote been fair. And this
19:53
Speaker 1: is what Democrats are going to use to justify trying
19:56
Speaker 1: to get Donald Trump to be charged with crimes. Now,
19:59
Speaker 1: why are they doing this because they don't want to
20:00
Speaker 1: run for president? In twenty twenty four, with the first
20:05
Speaker 1: full week of hearings for the House Select Committee's investigation
20:07
Speaker 1: to the January sixth attack on the US Capitol now complete,
20:10
Speaker 1: nearly six and ten Americans quote believe that former President
20:14
Speaker 1: Donald Trump should be charged with a crime for his
20:17
Speaker 1: role in the indictment. This coming from a new ABC
20:22
Speaker 1: News poll. Six and ten americans they want you to
20:26
Speaker 1: Believe also believed the committee is conducting a fair and
20:28
Speaker 1: impartial investigation, according to the poll. In the poll, which
20:33
Speaker 1: was conducted in partnership with ABC News, fifty eight percent
20:37
Speaker 1: of Americans quote think Trump should be charged with a
20:40
Speaker 1: crime for his role in the riot. That's up slightly
20:43
Speaker 1: from late April, before the hearing began, when an ABC
20:47
Speaker 1: News Washington postpole found that fifty two percent of Americans
20:50
Speaker 1: thought the former president should be charged. An ABC News
20:55
Speaker 1: Washington postpole that asked a similar question days after the
20:58
Speaker 1: attack in January twenty one found that fifty four percent
21:02
Speaker 1: Americans thought Trump should be charged with the crime of
21:04
Speaker 1: indicting of inciting a riot. Kind Of hard to indict
21:08
Speaker 1: somebody for a riot when the actual president's words from
21:14
Speaker 1: that day at that rally, which was far from the Capitol,
21:18
Speaker 1: said go peacefully. The majority of the people that were
21:23
Speaker 1: committing the violence on the Capitol weren't even listening to
21:26
Speaker 1: the president's speech. They were already down by the Capitol.
21:28
Speaker 1: We also know from the investigation. So how do you
21:31
Speaker 1: say that the president inspired a riot when the people
21:33
Speaker 1: that did that weren't even listening to the president when
21:36
Speaker 1: he was speaking. Facts like this, by the way, shouldn't matter.
21:43
Speaker 1: Facts like this should be important. Facts like this should
21:49
Speaker 1: be talked about a lot. They're not. And if you
21:54
Speaker 1: want to know why, it's clear Democrats are trying to
21:58
Speaker 1: use the January sixth in especial actually knowing what's coming
22:02
Speaker 1: right with the midterm elections. This is their last stand,
22:07
Speaker 1: their best effort to take away the present's ability to
22:11
Speaker 1: run for the White House bike saying you're a criminal
22:14
Speaker 1: and we have charged you with crimes. Now, the fact
22:18
Speaker 1: that six and ten Americans say that Donald Trump should
22:20
Speaker 1: be respon held responsible and that he should be charged
22:25
Speaker 1: with a crime, not how responsible should be charged of
22:27
Speaker 1: the crime. I don't believe these polls. And the reason
22:30
Speaker 1: why I don't believe them is because look at the
22:31
Speaker 1: approval rating of right now if Joe Biden, I don't
22:34
Speaker 1: think that fifty percent of Americans, more than fifty percent
22:39
Speaker 1: think the president is a criminal, especially knowing how many
22:42
Speaker 1: Trump supporters are actually out there. Did the President say
22:46
Speaker 1: go to the Capitol, burn it down, break down the windows,
22:48
Speaker 1: and attack those involved. No, he did not. He said
22:51
Speaker 1: you're going to go later today peacefully to the majority
22:55
Speaker 1: of the people that broke into the Capitol where they
22:57
Speaker 1: even had his speech. The answer is basically the investigation. No,
22:59
Speaker 1: they were already down the Capitol planning this out. That's
23:06
Speaker 1: another problem, another part I should say of the problem.
23:12
Speaker 1: But if you look this weekend at the talking heads
23:16
Speaker 1: on TV, there was one thing that was very clear.
23:20
Speaker 1: They wanted to make sure that you didn't talk about
23:25
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and him falling off a bike. No, they
23:28
Speaker 1: wanted you to believe that this was Watergate blown out
23:34
Speaker 1: of the water. In fact, Adam Kinsinger, the Republican who
23:38
Speaker 1: couldn't run for reelection because he was gonna get beat
23:41
Speaker 1: so bad, a useful idiot of the Democratic Party, who's
23:45
Speaker 1: one of two Republicans quote Republicans, one of them being
23:49
Speaker 1: Liz Channey him being the other that's on this January
23:52
Speaker 1: sixth committee. He actually said that the January six blows water,
23:56
Speaker 1: get out of the water, and Trump is guilty of
23:58
Speaker 1: knowing what he did, so therefore he should not be
24:01
Speaker 1: able to run for president again. Listen, Look, the president
24:05
Speaker 1: knew what he was doing. There was a plan, but
24:08
Speaker 1: nothing's changed. You say the president knew what he was
24:11
Speaker 1: doing in six and ten Americans, according to our new
24:13
Speaker 1: poll with IPSOS, believe the President should be criminally prosecuted
24:16
Speaker 1: for his role in the January sixth insurrection. But as
24:20
Speaker 1: you know, there are difficulties in prosecution as well proving
24:23
Speaker 1: state of mind. Proving intent is the key factor there.
24:27
Speaker 1: How do you do that? Look, I mean what we
24:31
Speaker 1: can do from the committee's perspective is show, you know,
24:34
Speaker 1: as we have so far, for instance, the pressure that
24:36
Speaker 1: was coming down on Mike Pence, and how the president
24:39
Speaker 1: knew what he was doing and how he had been
24:41
Speaker 1: stopped prior at other areas. We're gonna be talking Thursday
24:44
Speaker 1: about some of the stuff with the DOJ. We're going
24:46
Speaker 1: to have a discussion Tuesday about state pressure, and so
24:49
Speaker 1: you can see where the president knew all of that stuff.
24:53
Speaker 1: We can I think show the American people that, now,
24:56
Speaker 1: what can the Department of Justice do in a court
24:58
Speaker 1: of law, that's up to them. They can have their
25:01
Speaker 1: own information, They'll be able to see what we're doing here,
25:04
Speaker 1: and it truly is unprecedent. But let's be honest. This attack,
25:08
Speaker 1: this attack on January sixth, is unprecedented, and the rot
25:12
Speaker 1: that led up to it is also unprecedented. It isn't
25:15
Speaker 1: essential at this moment that we get a grip on
25:17
Speaker 1: this and figure out how to defend our democracy. It's
25:20
Speaker 1: up to the Department of Justice in the end. But
25:22
Speaker 1: if you reach enough, if you've reached the conclusion the
25:25
Speaker 1: President Trump should be prosecuted. I certainly think the President
25:30
Speaker 1: is guilty of knowing what he did, seditious conspiracy, being
25:34
Speaker 1: involved in these you know, kind of different segments of pressuring, DJA,
25:38
Speaker 1: vice president, etc. Obviously, you know we're not a criminal
25:43
Speaker 1: charges committee, so I want to be careful in specifically
25:46
Speaker 1: using that language. But I think what we're presenting before
25:48
Speaker 1: the American people certainly would rise to a level of
25:51
Speaker 1: criminal involvement by a president and definitely failure of the oath.
25:55
Speaker 1: The oath has to matter here. Your personal a man
26:00
Speaker 1: to stand for. The Constitution has to matter, and if
26:02
Speaker 1: you have people that don't regard that at all, there
26:04
Speaker 1: is no law in the world that we can pass.
26:06
Speaker 1: It's going to make a bit of difference. There's their argument, right, Well,
26:10
Speaker 1: he knew what he was doing, even though he said
26:12
Speaker 1: go peacefully, he knew he was inciting a riot. He
26:15
Speaker 1: knew they were going to go down there and burn
26:17
Speaker 1: down that capital. He knew they were going to go
26:19
Speaker 1: down there and kill people. You notice they're having this
26:23
Speaker 1: conversation on TV the week that Joe Biden has hit
26:27
Speaker 1: the lowest approval rating in history of his presidency. Dana
26:33
Speaker 1: bash Right talking to Adam Shift or the January six
26:35
Speaker 1: committe holding back evidence? If you want dig to move
26:39
Speaker 1: on Trump, why not help them out right, which means
26:41
Speaker 1: either they're lying to the American people, but evidence they
26:44
Speaker 1: claim they have that they're not. Why are you doing this?
26:46
Speaker 1: And Adam Shift is the same guy that seeing him
26:48
Speaker 1: puts out there on Father's Day, Right, They put him
26:53
Speaker 1: out there on Father's Day and they praise his credentials.
26:57
Speaker 1: It's the same guy that tried to impeach the President
26:59
Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Who should be trusted
27:04
Speaker 1: by no one over information that he knew Hillary Clinton
27:08
Speaker 1: and the Democrat National Committee paid to be created and
27:11
Speaker 1: fabricated out thin air, the Russian Trump dossier. Adam Schiff,
27:18
Speaker 1: while he was impeaching the president of Unitis America, trying
27:20
Speaker 1: to overthrow the will of the people, knew that all
27:24
Speaker 1: of that information was not credible, and he knew that
27:27
Speaker 1: it was paid for by Hillary Clinton. He knew that
27:30
Speaker 1: the federal government, the dj had said and the FBI
27:34
Speaker 1: had said that this information was not plausible. He had
27:40
Speaker 1: that information and he knew it. And what did he do.
27:43
Speaker 1: He tried to overthrow the will of the people by
27:45
Speaker 1: getting rid of a president he didn't like. So you
27:48
Speaker 1: would think that maybe people would stop having this toolbag
27:51
Speaker 1: on TV. No, no, no, no, no, We're gonna let
27:54
Speaker 1: him go on TV and tell us a story about
27:57
Speaker 1: January the six We're gonna let him go on TV
28:01
Speaker 1: and tell the story about January the sixth, because apparently
28:05
Speaker 1: he has so much credibility, right, He's got so much
28:11
Speaker 1: credibility with the American people. But even though he's a
28:14
Speaker 1: guy that tried to over throw the country and get
28:18
Speaker 1: rid of a present that he knew he was impeaching
28:20
Speaker 1: off of lies. We're gonna put him right back on
28:22
Speaker 1: TV in a most powerful position the Democratic Party and
28:26
Speaker 1: treat him like everything he says as fact. Listen. Congresswoman
28:29
Speaker 1: Zoe Lofgren told my colleague Jake Tapper this week that
28:32
Speaker 1: some information has been provided on a confidential basis from
28:36
Speaker 1: your committee to the Justice Department. You know this. I'm
28:40
Speaker 1: sure you're hearing this. So many people watching your committee
28:44
Speaker 1: hearings are asking what is going to come of this?
28:48
Speaker 1: Is the Justice Department going to file criminal charges? First
28:53
Speaker 1: question is why haven't you given everything over to the
28:56
Speaker 1: Justice Department that they are asking for and they say
28:59
Speaker 1: they need in order to potentially do that. I don't
29:01
Speaker 1: think Congress has ever done that. And I've been participating
29:04
Speaker 1: now in several investigations where there have been parallel investigations
29:08
Speaker 1: I've done by the Justice Department. Congress never says, hey,
29:11
Speaker 1: Justice Apartment, other branch of government, just come and go
29:14
Speaker 1: through our files. We also don't say, hey, we want
29:17
Speaker 1: to go over and just rifle through your files when
29:20
Speaker 1: the Just Department asked for things specifically, Hey, you know
29:23
Speaker 1: we're looking at a case we're investigating. This person can
29:26
Speaker 1: you give us what we have, we work with them,
29:28
Speaker 1: and we'll work with them here. You know, I do
29:30
Speaker 1: want to point out the Justice Department has the subpoena
29:33
Speaker 1: em power too. They can convene a grand jury, they
29:35
Speaker 1: can bring in witnesses. Traditionally they don't wait for Congress
29:39
Speaker 1: to do that work for the department. So we're going
29:42
Speaker 1: to work with them. We want them to be successful
29:44
Speaker 1: in bringing people to justice. But I can't go into
29:47
Speaker 1: the private conversations. Have you seen evidence that the Justice
29:50
Speaker 1: Department has already opened an investigation into the former president?
29:55
Speaker 1: I know, just looking at the public record, I have
29:58
Speaker 1: not seen, for example, grand juries convened in places where
30:02
Speaker 1: I would think they would be convened if they were
30:05
Speaker 1: looking at some of the conduct. For example, that Judge
30:07
Speaker 1: Carter in California wrote he believed that Donald Trump was
30:11
Speaker 1: engaged in multiple acts that violate the criminal laws. How
30:17
Speaker 1: can you even have this guy on TV when you
30:20
Speaker 1: know he tried to impeach the president and lie to
30:22
Speaker 1: the American people about that impeachment for two and a
30:24
Speaker 1: half three years. This man should never be allowed on
30:28
Speaker 1: TV again. As a quote expert. It's disgusting, all right. Lastly,
