Speaker 5 (03:06):
Story number one.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
It is a scathing report.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
It's truly unbelievable what has been uncovered when it comes
to Biden's use of the auto pen. The House Oversight
Committee on Tuesday asked the Justice Department to investigate former
President Joe Biden's use of the auto pen to sign executive.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Orders and pardons.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
The request came after the committee released every report on
its investigation into Biden's use to the auto pen and
whether it indicated an administration cover up of an alleged
cognitive decline. In a letter to the Attorney General, Pam
Bondi Representative James Comer, the chairman of the committee, accused

(03:53):
Biden's aides of coordinating what he described as a quote
cover up of the president's faculties. I want you to
hear what James Comra had to say about all of
this earlier on TV.

Speaker 7 (04:06):
Describe a shadow presidency basically run through a series of
a White House ants and the auto pen What specific
executive actions do you believe were signed without President Biden's
knowledge and what's the evidence that supports those claims.

Speaker 8 (04:21):
Well, we just focused on the legal documents. We just
focused on pardons and executive orders. We brought twelve of
Biden's inner circle individuals in for depositions. They had hours
and hours and hours Matt to explain to us how
Joe Biden was involved in the decision making process of

(04:42):
the various pardons and the various executive orders. Each staffer
gave conflicting reports as to how the autopin use was authorized.
But to the end of the day, one thing that
was consistent with eleven of the twelve staffers, and that's
everyone but Zience, the chief of staff, in the end,

(05:02):
was that they never saw Joe Biden they never heard
from Joe Biden. They were never in any meeting or
policy discussions with Joe Biden when he talked about the
pardons or talked about the executive orders that you know,
there was no chain of custody, there was no consistency
in how the use of the autopen. I think it's
safe to say that there was a cover up of

(05:23):
Joe Biden's mental decline. We gave the White House position,
doctor O'Connor an opportunity to come in and defend his
all the statements that he released saying Joe Biden was
in perfect fiscal and mental shape, and he pled the
Fifth Amendment to avoid self incrimination. So when we brought
in people like Ian Sam's, who you know I battled
with that, you battled with Matt when you were here

(05:45):
fighting the good fight. Ian Sam's would go in front
of the cameras every day and talk about Joe Biden
and Joe Biden said this and that, and when we
had him under oath, he admitted he only met and
spoke to Joe Biden in person two times in two years,
near attending his executive secretary, who we see Trump's executive
secretary with him multiple times a day. She only had

(06:08):
limited communication with Joe Biden. They kept Joe Biden shielded.
There was a cover up of his middle decline. And
there's no evidence that exists, no notes, nothing that exists
that Joe Biden was involved in any of the decision
making process with the pardons and the executive orders.

Speaker 6 (06:27):
You think about how shocking that is. A staff that
literally is not speaking or spending time or talking to
the President of the United States of America. And that's
part of the bombshell report exposing Biden's alleged misuse of
the auto pen that included pardons and official documents. That
is part of what this investigation is all about. James

(06:50):
Comer also had this to say on Laura Ingram's show.

Speaker 9 (06:54):
I mean, to the regular person watching this out there
in TV land, this stinks to how I heaven, So
we need your gut check. You've seen all the documents.
Is there any evidence indicating that Biden himself was involved
in approving these pardoners?

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Real hard evidence.

Speaker 8 (07:11):
There really isn't, And it's astonishing when you're talking about
thousands of pardons and dozens of executive orders. Basically any
legal document, especially during the last three months of the
Bidy administration. That's what we focused on, and every person
who we deposed had a different story on what the
proper process was that they followed in using the autopen

(07:33):
to sign a legal document. Their stories were inconsistent. And
then when you throw in the emails from the Merrick
Garland Department of Justice expressing concern to these very staffers
about the excessive use of the autopen and asking point
blank questions what was their process, then the entire stories changed.

(07:54):
So the inconsistencies are available. One thing that is consistent, Laura,
is the fact that no one saw Joe Biden, no
one who authorized the autopen or even gave the authorization
to use the autopan, no one who authorized outopen or
actually physically manually pressed the power button a Lottipin ever
heard directly from Joe Biden. And furthermore, there are no notes,

(08:18):
there's no chain of custody that would show that Joe
Biden was involved in any meetings where they discussed the
pardon process. I mean, this is Appallinggue, and everyone in
America saw during the debate and during the last few
months of the Biden administration. This was a President in decline.
The staffers confirmed that they would go weeks, months, and

(08:40):
even years without communicating with Joe Biden. This is a
massive cover up, and what we determined was every pardon
should be declared noel and void.

Speaker 6 (08:49):
I want you to think about what you just heard.
Not only do they say that the Biden presidency was
on autopilot, but he wasn't the one running the show.
No one quote ever got from Joe Biden, no notes,
no meetings, no orders, just staffers running the country with
an auto pen. And many of the people that should

(09:11):
have been talking to the president didn't speak to him
for weeks, months, or even years in positions of power.
So who was running the country. Well, we know that
Joe Biden was not running the show at all. But
what we do have now is forty seven hours of
transcripts and testimony revealing that numerous high ranking officials, numerous

(09:35):
former chief of staffs, numerous former secretaries, and numerous former
people in the Press office, including the White House pre secretary,
are now on the record talking about the lies they
told the American people, and many of the lies that
the media was happy to tell as well. The other
thing that I'm going to play for you is a

(09:57):
montage put out by the House Oversight can Joe Biden
was not running the show and their new report, they say,
exposes how Biden's decline was real and his aides covered
it up. Take a listen to what they put together,
proving the point that no one really knows who was
doing the auto pen and who was signing what or

(10:20):
who was even directing it.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Take a listen.

Speaker 10 (10:24):
Was the number one issue either campaign, the president's business
or his age. Did you ever see preston in Biden
in a wheelchair?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
I did not recall ever seen as an inviting in
a wheelchairs?

Speaker 11 (10:43):
And new information now on the people in his inner
circle and how the cover up actually operated.

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Senior aides that worked here until just a couple of
months ago at the beginning of this year, manipulating an
ailing president for their own game.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
How much were.

Speaker 8 (10:59):
You paid for your role in the campaign in twenty
twenty four.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
Just so was showing for nine numbers? Oh sorry, how much?

Speaker 4 (11:08):
Four million dollars? You believed that the president should stay
in the race, your own financial stake in the matter,
but was a factor in any way your advice to
the president.

Speaker 3 (11:18):
Hi, I don't believe that.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
And when it comes to President Biden's decline, the official
word from Biden World about all these news stories is
that nothing has been revealed this week that shows that
President Biden was anything but an effective president. Yes, I
noticed that he was aging in terms of the physical condition.

Speaker 11 (11:37):
I noticed that, you know, he shuffled.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
On that he does more stuckling over origine dash than
you did.

Speaker 12 (11:46):
At the beginning of the term.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
His rhetorical skills were not as strong as they had been,
and his speeches were less affective.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I thought we talked about age. We knew it was
an issue, and we tried to design a strategy.

Speaker 11 (12:00):
We had a discussion at the senior advisor level about whether.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
The president should have a cognitive exam.

Speaker 11 (12:07):
Flashback now to the legacy media is complete denial of
the president's cognitive decline.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell
you the truth and fu if you.

Speaker 3 (12:17):
Can't handle the truth.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
This version of Biden is the best Biden ever. His
mental acuity is great, it's fine, It's as good as
it's been over the years.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
He is sharp, he is on top of things.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
He had a sharpness to him. I said, what I
believe to be true.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
Do you think he was as sharp as you?

Speaker 10 (12:43):
I said, I had not seen decline, and I hadn't.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
He is just fine. I hope people interpret that. It
is up to them.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
We're watching the testimony of this woman here, Auntie Thomas Sor.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
She's the former Sea and your advisor to President Joe Biden.
She was the third person set to appear before James
Filbert's committee.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
She has now taken the fit. There is now a
pattern of key Biden confidants seeking miss shield themselves.

Speaker 6 (13:13):
From criminal liability for this potential conspiracy.

Speaker 12 (13:16):
Were you ever told to lie about the President's.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Health the Advice Council? I must respectfully declined to answer
based upon the physician patient privilege, and in reliance, am
I right under the fifth Man of the Constitution.

Speaker 12 (13:26):
Let the record reflect that doctor O'Connor has invoked the
Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. Doctor O'Connor, did you
ever believe the president was unfit to execute his duties
as president?

Speaker 11 (13:38):
And we can tell you that he will have the
same answer with respect to any questions that are asked.

Speaker 12 (13:44):
Did any unelected official or family member of President Joe
Biden execute the duties of the presidents. That did Joe Biden,
a member of his family, or anyone at the White
House ever instruct you to lie regarding his health on
the advice of council?

Speaker 2 (13:58):
I respect his declining to answer questions were soon.

Speaker 11 (14:02):
Constitution And if that wasn't shocking enough, Dick Tapper claims
Hunter Biden was basically acting like the chief of staff.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Hunter was driving the decision making for the family.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
He was almost like a chief of staff.

Speaker 12 (14:13):
Did you notice it up to ever when under Biden
was around.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yes, towards the end that he was living with the president.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
They were lying up just to the public, they were
lying to other Democrats.

Speaker 9 (14:24):
Have you ruled out a pardon for your son yes?

Speaker 11 (14:27):
Were you in favor of Hunter Biden getting a partner?

Speaker 10 (14:29):
Yes?

Speaker 12 (14:30):
Did you ever ask Joe Biden if the allegation regarding
his sun went drum?

Speaker 10 (14:36):
Now?

Speaker 8 (14:37):
Ian SAMs, who was the White House spokesperson, interacted with
him two times. Two times.

Speaker 12 (14:45):
Well, I think it's really important to take the sound
bite and understand the context.

Speaker 10 (14:49):
How often would you say that you interacted with the
personal firston.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I interacted with him pretty infrequently.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
I think I met with the President a handful of
times during my tenure in White House.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
That doesn't look anything like the president that I know
when I deal with him. He's sharp, he's asking tough questions.

Speaker 11 (15:05):
That's the President Biden that so many of us experience
every single day.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Yeah, I mean it's missing in some context.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
I don't.

Speaker 8 (15:14):
So it raised a serious concern and serious questions about
who was Colin shot in the White House. If the
White House spokesperson is being shielded from the president, that
says who was operating bell blom.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Aage wasn't an issue for you for President Bio, No,
it was what it was not at the term.

Speaker 12 (15:36):
So you think President Biden is wholly in commands that
night during the debate.

Speaker 11 (15:39):
I do believe that he was bully in command that
night during the debate.

Speaker 8 (15:43):
I knew it was very difficult to get past some
of the visual things of present people concerned about the president.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
The voter's concerns about President Biden were wrong. Yes, he
often would confuse names.

Speaker 1 (15:56):
If you think it got worse as you knew, Yes,
Are you sure you're being honest with yourself when you
say you have the mental physical capacity to serve another
four years.

Speaker 11 (16:06):
Yes, I did not have the experience that it took
him longer to answer some of the question.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
He could still he was a stone simptistically.

Speaker 8 (16:14):
What did you say?

Speaker 11 (16:15):
It was something that we did that coin, it was
something that media coined.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
Did you or did anyone ever verify if the videos
you were talking about were.

Speaker 7 (16:23):
Impacts cheap fakes?

Speaker 11 (16:25):
I believe so.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
But there were instances where videos were circulated of present
Biden bearing confused or freezing for a moment that were real, correct,
not that I recall.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
She told you this real video of Biden getting lost
in an Italian field.

Speaker 8 (16:39):
Was fing Now she's saying, yeah, my White House was
broken and I'm switching parties and was suffering from a
cold that really constrained his voice and constrained his ability
to be forceful in the debate.

Speaker 12 (16:50):
Did you attribute President Biden's performance that night to him
being under the weather.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
That's my assumption.

Speaker 3 (16:58):
The ability of medicare for the ability to for them
wants to be able to negotiate the operation with the
big farmer companies.

Speaker 7 (17:08):
Have you ever seen him have.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
A hold or a flu before?

Speaker 10 (17:11):
Yes? Did he ever behave the way that he did
during the debate, not that diversal.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
It was clear what he was trying to say.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Dealing with every day we have to do with if
we finally beat Medicare.

Speaker 11 (17:30):
It was the people that knew he was cognitively impaired
and that took over the auto pen. They stole the
presidency of the United States.

Speaker 12 (17:39):
Do you know who the people who were actually operated
the automent were?

Speaker 7 (17:44):
I did not.

Speaker 12 (17:45):
Do you know any of the actual staff who were
using the automent.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
Even know their names?

Speaker 12 (17:51):
Have you never seen a decision memo laying out the
breakdown of when the president should hand sign a particulars
set of documents.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Prior to prep Did he hand sign all executive orders?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
He did not.

Speaker 11 (18:06):
He's hand signed many executive orders, but he did not
sign hand sign all executive orders.

Speaker 12 (18:11):
Can you read your response?

Speaker 1 (18:12):
I had, through the use of the autopen for the
execution of all the following partons.

Speaker 7 (18:16):
Thanks Jaz.

Speaker 12 (18:17):
Did you yourself write the zeo?

Speaker 9 (18:19):
I do not believe I did.

Speaker 8 (18:21):
That auto pin was used excessively, and yet no one
can say for certain that Joe Biden was given the
orders to use the auto it.

Speaker 6 (18:31):
I hope you'll take this very special episode of the
forty seven and share it on social media, please wherever
you can.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
This is a story that's not going to get a
lot of coverage.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
It should get an awful lot of coverage, and I
hope all of you will help spread the work.
